If i didn't mention it before i meant to... me and mom went to target on saturday and made my registry in about an hour or so. And tried our best to keep it to stuff that was needed and not much extra. I have been looking for a baby book, like a traditional baby book with my family tree, my first this and my first that. the only one i've found at all in a store was a target and it was classic winnie the pooh. which i have nothing against i just wanted to look at what else might be out there (the pooh one is really cute but the only one they have has a huge ugly bent up first page :( so we would have to wait until they have another one anyways) So we went to the book store and hallmark in the mall... and guess what we found... nothing, absofreakinlutly NOTHING. All they had were photo albums and "scrapbooks" you know with this new craze thats started with the organized scrapbooking. which to me isn't really scrapbooking... scrapbooks are made up of actual literal scraps and pieces of life brought together, not colorfully patterned paper cut up and arranged just so with perfectly trimmed pictures and bright shiny stickers. I am not saying it's not pretty, alot of people like it... my mother, sister and just about every other woman i know, included. but it's not my style i don't care for it. So... my search for a baby book continues. I looked for a few on amazon but you just see whats in it there is one big pic and none are close up.

I was going through all my yarn to organize into a basket on the shelf i just brought in and it all worked out very nice with only a small bag of unfinished projects and the rest of the yarn fitting in the basket. So there was this one kind of yarn i have no recollection of why i bought it or what i bought it for because even though it is a thick yarn and fuzzy it's just not as delicatly soft as i like (which made me really curious why i have it), don't get me wrong it is soft, plushy and definatly gonna be warm, i just have expensive taste. so i decided to make a little blanket out of it. This is it, black and a pale yellow which i think is cute and 'bumble bee' like... but the problem is, this is all i have so far and it's only about half as big as it needs to be lol so i have to buy another skein of each to finish it... but thats fine, then i can sell it on Etsy

Tomorrow i am going to pull out the bag of my old baby clothes that my mom kept and wash them, as well as some old baby blankets that were mine. After i get the rest of my stuff together for my hospital bag i'll be pretty much set. I see the Dr on wed and i have a few questions so i can finish filling out my hospital papers and thats it really. At my last visit she said i was about 50% effaced, so if these braxton hicks are any indication, the fact that they are gradually coming on more often and gradually getting stronger, then i think i am probebly mostly on schedule and could go into labor in the next week or two which would be just a little early but my body has always been pretty scheduled. But we'll never know till it happens right?

My mom likes knitting stuff... but I don't think she ever makes anything besides scarves.

What does effaced mean?

well (beware guys) at the begining of pregnancy the cervix sort of seals up and becomes 'thick' ... effacing is when the cervix starts to thin out, once it's 100% effaced is when you start to dilate.
little science lesson there ;) i could tell you a lot more if you wanna know about it, i find the workings of the body facinating.

Huh. So that's what it is. I wonder why they didn't teach us that in HG&D?
