October 2006

    Wow, the days keep slipping by… I've gotten a few
more baby clothes washed- I've just been throwing in an outfit or two
with every load of laundry, we've got plenty of each kind (boy and
girl) ready to go, enough to get through several days once we get home
from the hospital.  I've been trying to get [...]

    Just got back from
another midwife appointment, and I feel much better now.  Baby
seems to have grown some, heartbeat sounded fine, and after a slow
morning we got lots of movement after lunch.  So everything looks
okay, it just seems to be a bit smaller than all of my other
babies.  Well, perhaps this one could actually wear [...]

     Wow, time flies
when you're stressed out and busy.  I never got anything written
for a “Monday, Monday…” post, didn't get a chance to catch up on
Tuesday, missed my “Wednesday Hymn” time, and now here it is,
Thursday.  It's been a long, but incredibly fast, week.
    We had orchestra, as usual, on Monday, and then
tried to get [...]

washed, and all of the old cheerio and graham cracker crumbs wiped out
of the base… the belts are adjusted and the whole thing is put back
together and looks just about new.
    I [...]

    Well, my usual
midwife wanted to see me this Thursday, as she is not on call and could
spend a little more time with me than my last visit… unfortunately,
she was booked up.  So instead I went in today to see the other
midwife at our clinic, who happens to be the one who delivered Hope,
our last [...]

    My dear husband has
been working extra hard (and extra hours) lately trying to get his
business off the ground.  It's growing slowly, and it seems as
though there is a lot of potential on the horizon, if we can all just
hang in there and work together to push through…  (any prayers
to that effect would be humbly [...]

    Well, I dunno how
much cleaning out that spice cabinet had to do with nesting.   I
think it was part of a grander decluttering plan/vision that I've had
for a long time.  It comes in spurts- and I guess impending birth
and approaching soup parties all coming at that time of year when I
feel a huge urge [...]

    After posting a little 'picture scrapbook' of one of our breadmaking endeavors
I received a request for my recipe.  While I can't actually claim
the recipe as my own, I do actually own a copy… The recipe I use
comes from a little booklet I got when I purchased my grain mill and
big mixer- it's entitled “Bread [...]
