Lately

Hey peops! So it's been awhile. But don't worry, no baby yet. Yesterday at my dr. appointment, he walked in and said something like, "Why aren't you in labor already?" On the one hand, amen. On the other, after Emmett, I'm a firm believer in letting babies come when they're ready (as far as mom's health permits). Emmett happened to be ready ten days after my due date, and he was healthy and normal. I wasn't a fan of his timing in those ten days, but I've learned to relax a little since then.

After learning that I'm 2.5 cm dilated and 80% effaced (a whole 0.5 cm more than last week!), my dr. said he wasn't going to hold his breath for the baby's coming this week. Again, on the one hand, daaaaang it. Mostly for selfish reasons ( = I feel like my pelvis is going to shatter at any moment). On the other, oh well. He'll come in the next three weeks. My induction date is April 19 (one week after he's due), so he doesn't have much of a choice beyond that.

In the meantime, look at the cute crib sheet I made!

My exceedingly talented sister made a set of four before Emmett was born, and he's been using those ever since. But, thanks to his highly productive bladder, he goes through them pretty quick. Baby boy 2 needs his own or I'm going to be washing crib sheets every other day. The tutorial is super easy and the sheets go pretty quickly. I finished this one in a few hours I think, and I haven't sewn in about a year. If you're more practiced, don't have to work by naptime, and don't have to take down and set up your sewing and ironing stuff to save them from a toddler who loves to learn by taking things apart, then you could finish much more quickly. Hopefully I'll be able to make a few more before this boy comes. 

In other news, I finally got my seeds planted a while back, and they're sprouting! Here's Emmett helping me plant: 

And yes, sadly, this is pretty much the only picture I got of us planting. And it's Emmett whining for the camera. Ha whoops. 

Just look at my babies!

Bush beans:

Swiss Chard:

Peas:

Basil:

Lettuce: 

The setup:

And my fern!

Which I've lovingly and uncreatively named Fern. 

Sigh. I can't wait to have a yard.

We also planted tomatoes, grape tomatoes, carrots, and bell peppers, but those haven't come up yet. And we have a little bushel of Texas onions waiting to go into pots. Yay!

That's all for now. I'll be back soon with another overload of Emmett pictures. He has a major cold today, and naptime just ended. = blogging time just ended :)

Have a great weekend!
