LOL, I guess one could call it that. It'll likely weigh in at just under 8 pounds when all is said and done. Yep, eight. That's about the average size baby these days.
So, yeah, I'm pregnant (and I think everyone reading this knows that, as it's not like I have a bunch of followers) and due in about five weeks.
Nesting has ensued.
Now if only we could decide on two names for our little surprise.

The Cake
Not too bad, considering my feet were aching. Being 35 weeks pregnant was brutal on my poor feet today. And clearly, the "Y" in birthday is hidden by the sax carrying Sesame Street character.
mmmmm, cake
Nora's bday is tomorrow and we are having ice cream and cake later today. I meant to make the cake last night but ended up too tired and went to bed....so I'm making it today. Hopefully, it'll chill quick.
In the meantime, my house smells of wonderful cake. Yummy.
And, in case you're wondering, I ended up deciding to do a Sesame Street cake. I bought figurines for the top....so, I totally cheated. I thought about buying an Elmo or Dora cake pan (favorites of Nora), but I could not imagine making that many darn stars while standing and being 35 weeks pregnant. So, I took the lazy way out and will instead just have to frost the two layers of cake, do a border and throw those figurines on top.
I'll be sure to post pictures when I'm done.
I should also have pictures of our Florida room. The room is so awkward, it always ends up being a catch all room. We've spent the last few days reorganizing back there and it's taking shape. We've put up some more shelves that will at least keep the catch all stuff off of the floor. Plus, one shelf, just for kitchen items. When you have a tiny kitchen and no pantry, it's hard to figure out what to do with all the big appliances - the kitchen aid mixer, the crock pot, the ice cream maker, the blenders (yes, I have two - one that is only for salsa, thank you very much), the coffee pot, etc. I'm really pleased with how it's looking so far.
We are going to paint it, as right now it's just white, we've never painted the room before and we've lived here seven years now, lol. So, we have two gallons of some green paint and I think it's going to be that color (they were on clearance for $3 a gallon). That will come later though - for now, I'll just post the organized room. :)

I'm avoiding blogging....
Because I've been avoided sewing, or crafting. I've been pulling weeds though. I guess I could upload a picture or two of our garden. The weeds are out of control this year - I weed nearly daily for half an hour, S does as well and yet....they keep on coming. One corner holds its own weed free fairly well, but the other areas, it's like overnight.
I really, really need to begin sewing again. I went down to the basement a few weeks ago, but just could not get the inspiration. I've done some mending, just nothing creative. Need to get creative.
Perhaps posting here will keep me accountable towards doing something this week that is creative - we'll see. :)

Well, I've been tagged
I know it's been forever since I posted here, but I was tagged to complete a meme.
1. Where were you 10 years ago?
Um - hmmm, June 1998. Honestly, I am not sure. Either Pittsburgh or New Alexandria. I could have answered the five years ago question much easier, I was settled down five years ago, not so much ten. :)
2. Five items on your to-do list today
Today is almost done for me, since it's nearly 8:15 pm, but here's my list of what I wanted to accomplish:
1) Wrap Jacob's gift
2) Get Nora and I ready for party.
3) Go to party
4) Finish up Father's Day gift (not done yet!)
5)Wrap up said gift (obviously, if I'm not done, it's not done).

3. Snacks I enjoy
Dear goodness, I'm pregnant, I enjoy them all - or at least most of them.
4. What would you do if you were a billionaire?
Pay off debt. Help out friends and family who could use it. Travel, a lot. :) Invest so that the money would keep working for us, instead of us working for it.
5. Places I would live
I'm fine living in this general vicinity. I would like to live in a nicer neighborhood though - one with sidewalks would be nice.
6. 5 Bloggers I’m passing the challenge onto

A new purse
This is my new creation. I'm not incredibly happy with the straps - if I would have had enough of the red cord left, I'd have made them out of that and I think it would have really turned out well. Also, my inside stripes don't match up since I forgot to line them up before cutting. And then, I didn't have any extra material - oops.
I did do a few pockets for the inside. One cell phone size (as you'll see my cell in the picture) and two a bit larger - either for a larger size cell phone (one of those fancy ones) or for a wallet.

A homemade Christmas - the results
I got tons of compliments and good feedback on all that I had made for Christmas. :)
My sil even asked me how much I would charge for the crayon roll that I made for her DD! So, I guess she must have really liked it. It was actually the first one I made and was super easy - too bad that I forgot (duh!) to take pictures of the last few things that I made before wrapping them up.
If I ask my other sil, I'm sure she'd take a picture of the reversible placemats that I made for her - they reverse from snowmen to fall leaves.
I can't wait to make up a few more placemats for my house. Also on my list is a nice apron for me, one for my sister. And of course, a crayon roll for DD. Oh, and a poncho for her so that she can wear it while in her car seat, unlike a coat. :)
