:: June 6, 2007 Nope Not Yet
No, nothing yet. I am 2cm and 80% effaced as of today (for free! wooohooo!), but not a contraction in sight. I'm still feeling super -- I'm not nearly as miserable as everyone's telling me I'm supposed to be right now. In fact I have been very productive with the crafts. It is officially work and not pregnancy (or work + pregnancy) that has been keeping me from this stuff. Two bed quilts turned into four baby quilts (well, quilt tops). All the blocks have been done for quite a while now, I just had to sew them together. So there are two of each of these ... Plain Spoken II! (Pattern by Funquilts.) Made with baby boys in mind, colors inspired by these socks.
And Hop, Skip, and a Jump (pattern by Denyse Schmidt ). Has it been a freaking year?! My god.
Some more onesies ... And I also have made good progress on knitting a Jess Hutch Squarey. Knitting is SO perfect for all this nervous energy. posted by in Quilting
Comments Oh yeah, I was walking around like that for a while except I was also having contractions and my Dr. kept telling me he'd see me tomorrow and then a week would go by.... i was 3 and 4 cm the last month before i went. Posted by nancy on June 6, 2007 4:51 PM Yay for G! Love the quilts... you have such a great eye for color. Posted by gina on June 6, 2007 5:09 PM I'm a long-time lurker... I'm so excited for you! I'm one of those sstrange women who enjoyed labor - my baby-making days are over so I live vicariosuly through you all. Sending you lots of good wishes. The quilts and onsises are wonderful. Enjoy! Enjoy! Posted by Julie on June 6, 2007 5:20 PM Great colours on Plain Spoken! It's such a versatile pattern. Good luck with baby! Posted by Feed Dog on June 6, 2007 6:02 PM GReat looking quilts! And those gnome onesies are waaaay too cute. I never felt bad like people say you should either. Enjoy it! And get your crafting in now, because it'll be at least a few weeks (maybe) before you can get back to it after he's born. Posted by Susan on June 7, 2007 2:33 PM I love that second quilt. It matches your blog too. :) Posted by The Chatty Housewife on June 7, 2007 3:55 PM Those onesies look great. You are building up quite a stash. Posted by Stephanie on June 7, 2007 6:42 PM Heehee. I love that the title tells me right away, sorry! no baby! so I can get on with enjoying the amazing quilt tops. I want to be off work and sewing, too! Looking forward to G's arrival, any way. Posted by Daphne on June 7, 2007 7:10 PM I remember that rush of pre-delivery energy very well. Caitlin was 5 days late and I can't believe all the things that were done in that 5 days. Your description has stirred some fun memories. Can't wait to see the baby pics! Posted by kathy on June 8, 2007 11:06 AM I love the gnomes! Such an original idea Posted by Kristi on June 8, 2007 6:51 PM Those both look great. I guess you are feeling pretty good- you have energy to blog! Posted by Nicole on June 9, 2007 9:41 PM I had a similar pre-baby experience. I cleaned everything in the kitchen, and I am NOT a cleaner. I'm glad I turned into a "nester" for a few days then because its hard to find the time now. Good luck! (I hope you are reading this from a hospital bed). Posted by Jen on June 11, 2007 6:18 PM It's quilts like that first picture that may tempt me to learn to quilt. Good wishes and positive energy for the impending birth of little one. How exciting! Posted by Sil on June 12, 2007 12:09 PM he's here! and squooshy and adorable!!! thanks for letting me hold him for so long, kim. enjoy the love-bursting.
