A few pics

I wanted to post a few pictures up and a video clip of AA & AJ, we'll see how long it takes for the video! I think I get bored in the last week or so of pregnancy, because there just isn't enough to do...or at least I'm getting very tired of waiting. Patience! I thought it would be easier this time around since I know I can go a week over the due date, but I'm finding it not much easier. I've been working on a knitting project lately, and probably should be scrapbooking more too since my time will be greatly reduced when the new baby arrives all being well!

One of my winter projects that I thought would never get done was this baby quilt (every little block was handquilted thats why I thought it wouldn't get done!). I got it completed weeks ago, and is nicely decorating the babies bed. :) I would have made it 4 diamonds if I had enough material, but I was using scraps from two previous quilts and didn't have enough. I haven't got the quilting bug out of my system just yet I have ideas for another baby quilt!

I got Sam to take the kids out one lovely sunny day, and they of course loved it!

Tearing up the grass or ripping it up was a great game...as was throwing it in the air.

:)


And if this clip works I caught my wee ones quietly reading or looking at books by themselves. I was just finished washing the supper dishes. Aaron of course was taking his liberties too far with swatting the camera - sorry about that.

Back in Perth...

We finally arrived! We're finally unpacked! And to top it off the windows are slowly being cleaned (the inside at least)...okay, so the last one wasn't that great. :)

It was a busy first part of this week, with last bits of cleaning the house, bedding and etc to loading the car up and traveling to Tarbert to stay with Ruth for the night. I wasn't sad to say goodbye to the house, but I'm feeling the sadness of not being in Harris...I admit it, I miss being in Harris! What a different life it was, very peaceful and everyone knew everyone. Ah well, life moves on I suppose. So, we got on the ferry the next day, and traveled to Perth...it was a long drive, and not at all good for a pregnant lady (37 week pregnant lady I might add) . We were able to eat McDonalds food. But I lost it all by being horribly sick that night before I fell asleep. My mom thinks I did too much, I think she was right. Anyways, I'm pretty much back to normal, although my feet are swelling a bit and that feels odd, and uncomfortable, at least I can say I really only have a couple more weeks left of this pregnancy...so I can't complain too much.

Friday I got to see the unit that we hope the baby will be born at...not quite what I was hoping for, but not exactly a full dissappointment either...but not homelike enough is just it. Ah well, all I really care about is that HUGE birthing pool they have (2 of them I should say) so I suppose colours and other such things shouldn't matter too much, I won't care about it when the time comes...(not true!! I did when Aaron was nearly born! I thought the carpet looked just awful...heehee). Okay, I'm rambling about nonsense now, so I had best get off.

Tomorrow is the Sabbath, and I'm glad for it, I need a day to be able to sit and relax and meditate, read etc. Will post next week all being well. :)
