Crocheting is a Dangerous Hobby

WARNING -- DO NOT LOOK AT THESE PICTURES IF YOU'RE A WIMP -- BLOOD AND GUTS!!
Mom spends her days and nights refurbishing her antique dolls that she sells through her doll hospital website, and it's turning out to be a pretty lucrative little side business. However, from the looks of these pictures, it's a little dangerous, too!
Apparently, Mom stepped off the couch today right onto a crochet needle. The hooked end went into her heel somehow. She says the pain was unbearable! Since she was home alone, she managed to crawl (!) to the car and drive herself to the emergency room where she had to crawl again (!) to the front door. She says the doctor was kind of stumped as to how such a blunt-edged needle made it so deep into her foot. But, she's OK.

Still crocheting, I'm sure.

Doc appointment

We're seeing Dr. Sweeney each Wednesday from here on out. Yesterday, she told me that I'm dilated to a 1 and effaced 50%! I think Adam and I were both stunned, but she says that I might go for a couple weeks like this. Tomorrow, I'm 37 weeks, which is technically full-term, so any day now...more to come!

36 Weeks!














Just four more weeks to go...or less. Crazy! My belly is so big, I hardly recognize my own body -- it's in there somewhere. But Luke's kicking and moving all the time, and hopefully getting big and chubby. Our bags are packed, we have the baby seat...so we're just ready for you, baby. Hurry up.

Baby Shower!



I had my second baby shower this weekend, and it was so much fun! All of my friends flew in and drove in from out of town, and I am so lucky to have such good people in my life! Thank you so much to my hostesses -- Averi, Brooke, Kim, Lisa, Mikel, Mandy, Morgan, Aunt Patty, Rachel, Selena, Summer and Tiffany -- it meant the world to me!
Averi, me, Kim and Morgan -- we've been friends since we were six or seven! Just missing Rachel and Tiffany!
