Although I have been trying to get as much rest as possible, I have also been somewhat productive. Last night I started sewing pillows for the rocker we're going to buy for the nursery and also for the crib (as decorations). When I finished sewing the first and turned it inside out to stuff, I realized the pattern was now on the inside. Dumbass Hannah. I sewed it inside out! I had to remove all the stitching and start over. It's done now though and it looks good. I really need to buy a sewing machine. I still sew by hand.
This morning, I had my gestational diabetes test. Here is my advice to my pregnant friends who have yet to take this test: ask for the fruit punch flavor if your dr. has it. I heard horror stories about some of the other flavors. This was sickenly sweet, but do-able. It was like REALLY concentrated Hawaiian punch. The doctor also measured my belly today, remarking at the growth since last time. I also heard baby girl's heart. So loud and clear now! When he was feeling my tummy, he asked if she moves a lot, and just then, she gave him a hard kick. Maybe she heard and wanted to re-assure him? :-)
Today I am debating between staying on the couch for the rest of the day or going out to buy more fabric and then sewing on the couch for the rest of the day. Hmmmm.........
I still need to post nursery pics, a belly pic, and the recipe for the amazing paninis James and I made last night. I'll get around to it soon.
Posted by Hannah at January 16, 2006 01:37 PMWell, staying on the couch seems really nice :)
And i can't wait to see the belly pic and the nursery pics, maybe i'll steal and idea or two ;)-
mmmm paninis :) I'm so impressed at your sewing! I ran errands all morning and got some adorable things for the nursery (walls). I can't wait to see your pics!! How's the arm feeling? xoxo
Posted by: girl from florida at January 16, 2006 02:38 PMSo I have lurked by here for a while and today I happened to click on your 100 things and the first line caught my eye! My birthday is February 6th! I'm going to be 29 so I am a few years older but I thought I would share this coincidence.
I hope you arm is doing better.

Posted by: Sarah at January 16, 2006 05:27 PMIt's cool that you're sewing pillows for Baby C.'s nursery! I wish that we had a *real* rocking chair ... one with an ottoman and such. Ours sucks, LOL! :) I can't wait to see pictures!

Posted by: Valkyrie at January 17, 2006 01:28 AMtoo bad you don't live closer, i hardly use my sewing machine.. although, i wish i did. thanks for the compliment :) how are you feeling?
Posted by: linda at January 17, 2006 05:46 AMOh, BTW ... my glucose test was orange-flavored ... it tasted like *super* sweet Sunkist pop. I was *so* dreading that test, but it turned out not to be a big deal at all. The orange stuff really wasn't bad. I can imagine that the fruit punch wouldn't be, either. I'm glad that you don't have GD. My friend Staci did, though. And another question ... in the picture of you to the left, what package are you holding? I've always been curious! :)
Posted by: Lisanne at January 17, 2006 09:04 AMHope you had a good relaxing weekend! Cant wait to see nursery pictures!
Posted by: alfredsmom at January 17, 2006 10:50 AMUgg..I have my test next Monday. I am really not looking forward to that. I can't wait to see the pics!
Posted by: Chas at January 17, 2006 04:24 PMHey there, hows the arm? Hopefully better! I want to come by and see your nursery! Are you completely finished with it? Maybe Marc and I can stop by this week to see, would this week be good?
Posted by: meggie at January 17, 2006 05:27 PMMy friends had built the GD test up to be so bad that I had myself so mentally psyched up for this terrible experience, and then it was nothing at all compared to how dramatic they had been. I guess that worked in my favor! Anyway...I HATE tearing out sewing. Glad to hear your projects turned out good! You do need a machine. Making baby stuf is a blast!!
Posted by: amelia at January 17, 2006 10:37 PMOoooh...I can't wait to see belly pics and nursey pics!!!
My email is blessedcag@yahoo.com and I would LOVE if you sent me some tea swap info! How exciting!!!
