What's been happening

First off, this is me and the one that want's to be nana's only baby. She came down with the flu and was good enough to share it with my husband and I. This was Thursday night and somehow, we managed to not get it until Saturday night, thank God, because the baby shower was on Saturday.

Here is Addison, resting compfortably, what a beautiful baby.

We had her shower on Saturday, holy man, what a load of gifts she received, how fortunate. The shower was a success. Karen helped tremendously.

This is the diaper cake I made, thanks DH for the idea. The first picture is the finished product. I put a precious moments A at the top, bought a miniature tea cup, saucer and teapot set at the dollar store and put it on, some bathtub toys and scrapbooking stuff on it. My husband actually helped in assembling. 4 hands are needed for assembly of all the diapers.

Lastly, yesterday the grandaughter came over and wanted to build a snowman. The first is the one I helped to make and I call the second one a Newfie snowman. My husband (The Newfoundlander) makes snowmen by putting snow in a bucket, like you would build a sand castle. I have never heard of this, we always rolled ours into balls. The coal I used is from my grandparents house, God Love em, they've been gone for more than 8 years now, but this is something I have for a memory. Don't know why, but I do.

Also, notice the snow still in our yard. And this after continuous melting for about 5 days now.

Take care all.

Addison is her name

She's home, this was part of her welcoming committee. We are thrilled. The house has exploded with baby stuff. How come such a small package requires so many things?

We are having a cold day here, -30 with the wind chill. Spring, I know your out there somewhere.

She's here

Born at 4:10 A.M. March 16, 2007

Weighing 8 lbs, 7oz.

Not named yet.

4 hours of labor.

It's 5:05 A.M. now. There will be much more later, Good night.

The smell of money

The smell of tarsands is in the air today. The plants are at least 30 km's from here, and you can still smell it. Funny after 32 years, I never go used to it.

We're seriously hoping for a baby today or tomorrow, the hospital is going to do a stress test tomorrow on the baby.

I made the bumper and skirt for the crib, now I am making a hanger thingy to put diapers and creams in.

Oh good, it's snowing

Hard to tell from this pic, but we're having a full on blizzard. SERIOUSLY, that's enough now.

FYI

Nothing................

Waiting.................

No baby yet. My daughter's due date was originally the 5th , but the Dr. changed it to the 9th.

But he did some stuff to her on Tues. at her Dr. app. to make her ready and she took the castor oil yesterday morning at 11 at his suggestion.

I think he made a mistake on changing the date. I believe that she is overdue. I think I was a Dr. in my past life. Ha ha.

I made the bumper pads and the skirt for the crib, got that all finished, kind of shagged up on the bows on the front of the crib, they aren't even. Oh well.

Stay tuned.

Books

My daughter went out with her father last night for dinner. He bought this book by Billy Crystal for the baby. When she brought it home, I read the first page and that was enough for me. I seriously get so choked up.

And speaking of getting choked up, this other one by Robert Munsch is a serious tear jerker. I will finish the Billy Crystal one today by myself. The second one is a must have though. If you havn't read it you should give it a go.

Nothing is up, really

Today was my daugter's original due date, but the Dr. changed it to the 9th. I really thought that by now the baby would be here. So nothing really to report.

I have sown the skirt for the crib and I am nearly finished the bumper pads. I will post pictures later.

Yesterday we had a visitor though, Miss Sadie came to our house. How big is she getting. And strong too. I can't believe it. It was so nice to see her.

Will report more later as events happen. Have a good week all.
