A knitting project and then some!

Here's a little strawberry hat I knitted. I will use it for my baby (if it's a girl) or send it on up to my sister Michele for her new little bundle. Actually it turned out a little small so it may need to be sent up to her either way because her baby isn't due til October and she'll need a warm hat then. Anyway, I had run across the pattern and thought it was so cute I had to make.

So on to other news. I had a doctors appt today. Quite eventful really. The baby's heartbeat was a fast and a little erratic so they sent me to Labor and Delivery to have it monitored for a bit. It turned out to be fine and the heart rate went back to normal. She did an ultrasound to measure how big the baby is so I got to see it again. And I was barely even tempted to find out what it is, I mean I've waited this long! It's hand was up by it's face the whole time so we didn't get a good look at it's face. The baby seems to be right around 6 lbs. So quite a bit smaller than Lane was it seems. I am dilated to a 2 and 70% effaced. So I don't know that I will make it to my scheduled c-section on Aug. 12th (yes Lesha, it was scheduled today for your birthday!) So things are moving along now and so time to get some last minute things done...like pick out a name (uh um Reese), pack my bag, you know just the last minute little details :)

I just happened to be on my blog and saw you had some news. SO, I might get to share my birthday if you make it until then. ; ) I love the hat. You could get some cute pictures. Even if it is a boy! Boys like strawberries and pick strawberries! Heee, Heee! Reese probably wouldn't like that.

it may bring back bad memories for reese. he HAD to pick strawberries one year, and it started out really bad. reese crying, rod hating to leave him in a muddy field..... but, like lane, as soon as got used to the idea, things were great and I'm sure he got into trouble somehow. :-) the apple doesn't fall very far from the tree.. sorry tash.
