I’ve finally been knitting for the baby.  On the weekend I made the little football hat from Itty Bitty Baby Hats. 

I need to make the little football to be appliqued on the front and then make the tassle and it’s done.  It would be done now but I forgot my yarn at home. 

That led to starting the Marshmallow hat from the same book.  I love this hat! 

Today mama-to-be entered her third trimester!  Today that baby is blinking it’s little eyes and has eyelashes!  We get our weekly update and it has been so fun knowing what is developing when.  It weighs about 2 3/4 pounds.  I can see it rolling in her tummy now and have had lots of little kicks when I put my hand there.  My grammie friends keep telling me there is nothing like this.  When I feel that little sweet pea moving around, I don’t even have words to explain how excited I feel!

On to other news.

I have taken the big step of deciding to try the Secret Pal 12 Swap.  I had nothing but trouble trying to pay my $2.50 fee (an ingenious idea to help cover for those whose pals drop out) but I’m all set to go.  The questionnaire is linked on the page tab above.

Yesterday I got to go in the theater that I’ve watched with such interest.  It is going to be beautiful. We walked over to see the marble tiles and the fellow working on it said since we’d been watching all these months, we should get to see what’s going on. 

I have been so mixed up this week on my days.  Yesterday hubby called to see if there was anything he should get for my mom to eat for dinner.  She comes to our house on Wed. nights.  I couldn’t figure out what he was talking about as I’d been wondering what the little imp and I would eat for dinner since it would just be the 2 of us.  Turns out all day I thought it was Thurs.  That really threw me.  Then this morning I woke up and laid in bed thinking about what to wear to church, looked at the clock and saw it was 8 a.m. already and the imp was still sleeping so knew the next 30 minutes was going to be rushed and hoped he would cooperate.  I knew hubby was already gone to set up for worship.  Then I started thinking about not remembering working all day the day before.  It took me a long time to realize it was only Thursday.  Does anyone else get disoriented when there is a holiday?  Part of it is being over-tired, too.

When I was leaving work tonight, mama-to-be called and asked if I would like to eat dinner with them.  The imp was there already so we ate pizza and came home.  No dishes, no figuring out what to fix or get.  Nice surprise!

And now, a relaxing evening ahead! 

ETA:

I saw this on RK’s blog and had to share it, too.

Not only that, but there’s another fellow who has been making quite a name for himself over on his blog… Dan Drinker is someone I visit a lot.  His brother has been making a documentary of his life and there is so much to see and admire in them.
