This weekend proved to be a VERY productive one. Not only did I finish the 2 crocheted baby hats, but I managed to wash the rest of lil one's laundry, the infant car seat cover, all linens and the whole house laundry!!! Here's a pic of the 2 hats I made... 1 boyish, 1 girlish... I wonder which one I will use???



On Sunday.. DH put himself to work and we finished the wiring in the kitchen!!! He hung up my pendant lamp over the sink, installed the outlets, and hung up the ceiling fan in the DR!!!! Thank god my DH is as handy as he is!!! Here's a pic of our new ceiling fan!!



My nesting instinct hasn't been very strong these past few weeks, I guess I'm just tooo tired to be overly concerned with perfection and excessive worrying over time limites just isn't top priority. But this weekend, I was feeling a tad bit better and was ready to get things accomplished!!! Especially in the construction end of it! Our house has been under renovation for almost a year and we have accomplished much (we have demoed and completely gutted) the whole kitchen, dr and main bathroom, installed a whole new kitchen, DR and a whole wew main bathroom (including all new floor boards and tile, had our basement waterproofed ... it's just the little things that still need attention (that aren't getting the attention) that is starting to crawl under my skin!!!

Today... is Monday... the boys are at school and I am in major tired mode. This weekend may have been a bit much more excitement than what I bargained for.

Also.... 11 days and counting till lil squirt enters the world!! WOW... the time has gone by sooo fast... and yet... as miserable as I am feeling.. it can't come soon enough. Thursday is my last OB appt till the big day. My bag is getting packed today and the baby's bag will be packed tomorrow. Even though I have done this 2 times before, I keep feeling like this is the first time. I get overly excited, I keep forgetting things and I have been second guessing my gut instinct (which I have learned over the years never to do!!) My lists have become a small notebook in itself and I am realizing that the more I add to the list the less I feel like accomplishing any of it! HMMMM.... maybe a hint to just stop overthinking things and just do what NEEDS to be done and not what I would LIKE to get done!!

I must bid adieu... I do have some things to attend to before the boys get home... like eating!!!

Many Warm Vibes your way!!!

Yesterday....was a SNOW DAY! The boys handled the onset of cabin fever fairly well, no one was hurt, there was hardly any fighting, and mama didn't lose her cool!!! Which means.... since I was happy... EVERYONE was happy!!!

I built a huge train garden for the boys in the living room... it took up our whole living room area rug and man.. did they ever have a blast!!! Now after it being up for almost 24 hours it is getting to be a nuisance and a tripping hazard. I promised them they could keep it up until tomorrow and then the demo crew is going in and flattening it!! Here's the train garden we made (boys and Thomas... go together like peanut butter and chocolate!!!) I was also able to get 2 more dipes sewn... that makes a total of 19 I have made!! I I still need to do the St.Patrick's day dipe.. but I will do that next week. Here's a pic of some of my stash that I have made:

I bought new fabric today... I'm hoping to make another sling... this fabric was just tooo pretty to pass up. I also started crocheting a baby hat... a picked girly colors for this hat (secretly hoping to bring me luck!) and I will make a boy hat next week. I will donate the one not needed to the hospital's nursery. For the past year I have donated almost 10 hats a month to the NICU ward at the local hospital but I have been sooo busy making this lil peanuts items, that my volunteer hat making has been put on the back burner. I promise myself that it will resume once a routine is established in our household.

2 weeks and counting.... lil one will be here! I am anxious, nervous, overjoyed, scared to death and concerned about the surgery and yet it can't come soon enough!!!

Time to prop my feet up and start crocheting again! I am on a roll! And I hear those damn dwarfs again...."Hi Ho... Hi Ho...It's off to work we go!"...
