Well, I celebrated a birthday this past Friday.
Friday morning I had to go in to the hospital at 8:30 am to have an anesthesiology consultation and have some blood drawn. Then after that I returned home and spent the day with my dear sweet mother who helped me get everything in place in the girls' room.
In the evening my dad came and we all had a sushi dinner followed by the most fantastic chocolate truffle tart known to man made by my mom.
Mmmm...
All in all, it was a great day! This was the first birthday I have celebrated with my parents since my 18th birthday. For every birthday since then I have either been away at college, or living on the other side of the country, or overseas! So the day just seemed extra special being able to spend it with them.The rest of my time has been spent trying to be a good patient and trying to keep myself busy while sitting on our family room couch for exasperating hours on end. I am incapable of sitting and watching TV, so this has translated into me knitting and crocheting a whole pile of clothing and accessories for Savannah and Ella, and a couple of things for other people. See what I mean? Every single one of these items has been made since a couple of days before Thanksgiving:
1. Baby Leggings, 2. Baby Ballet Flats, 3. Baby Bucket Hat, side view, 4. Swirls Cap, 5. Crochet booties, 6. Pretty in Pink, 7. Eggplant Beret, 8. Bucket Hat Model, II, 9. Baby Bonnet, 10. Baby Lilac Hat, 11. Leaf Tawashi II, 12. Baby Hat II, 13. Baby Bolero, front, 14. Cecily Baby Sweater , 15. Lolly Contemplation, 16. Baby socks, 17. Crocheted sweater for Squirrel, 18. Baby Booties 2, 19. A pumpkin beret for 'lil bro, 20. Flower hair pinI am not going to miss this:
But I will miss feeling the baby move, the forced craft time (but not the bed rest part), and the convenient shelf that my belly provides:
Here's to surviving the last few hours--see you on the other side!

Rach... your stomach looks fake! Really, I hadn't seen anyone else's stomach that gets big like mine...we have the same shaped pregnancy bellies, but yours beats mine in size! All your crocheted things are adorable! Good luck tomorrow!
Oh, I am so excited for you! You are a cute pregnant lady...I hope you had the best birthday. Good luck tomorrow and I can't wait to see Ella!
"And THIS model comes with a convenient cup holder..." You're really going to miss THAT feature. Of course, you can always balance your cup on Ella's head, or have Savvy hold it for you (yeah, right).
Best of luck tomorrow! Can't wait to see your beautiful new girl! And all your crocheted stuff looks AWESOME!!
I love all the crocheted items!!! So cute! I hope yesterday went well!!!Can't wait to hear how you're doing and see pics of the new baby!
your crocheting and knitting is amazing. I want to learn so bad. I must learn to make the bucket hat for my girls, it just so adorable! Oh and Happy Birthday! Once you've recovered and settled in with the new baby let's go out for ice cream or something!
What cute creations! I would say that you made lemonade out of lemons!
