Lots and lots....

I've been slackin' on my blogging! A big reason is my laziness - but also I spent the last week and a half laying on the sofa dying. Blah. I came down with some freak flu/cold dealy. We ended up having to go to the hospital twice because I was having high fevers. They ran a bunch of tests on me and luckily just said it was the flu. They monitored Dmitri and all was well with him - so that was very very good news. Anywhos - woohoo! All better :)

So here are the happenings of the past week or so.
I've been working on some projects. I crocheted a blankie and some booties for baby Sophie [our friend Mike and Jennie's new baby girl] Here's some pics

Next on the list - I have some belly pics! I took one a few days ago - then another today. The second one looks so much bigger because I just ate. That's my story and I'm stickin' to it! I had a doctors appt on Friday. I'm dilated to almost a 2 and Dmitri's estimated birth size is 8 - 9lbs! Holy cow - 8 I can handle - 9 - that's scary!

The only bright side is once he's born - I instantly lose 9lbs - but still.

I'm supposed to be up and walking around - helps with dilation - but oh goodness - my feet and legs! They are so swollen, they feel like they're filled with gel. Daniel enjoys poking them and making dents. Yes - very nice :[

Ooo oo - Sunday was my birthday. Yay 25 :{ But I had a good time. Sunday we had a get together with Daniel's fam for some cake and ice cream. Daniel baked a chocolate cake with chocolate pudding filling - then white icing. It was yummy and so cute that he made it himself :) He's so sweet. He also surprised me with flowers! They are so pretty - love them!

Monday night we went to my parents for some more cake and ice cream. My mom made a chocolate cake with white icing. I also got some money and gift cards for my bday. I got one for Michael's - I spent it today! That sucker was burning a hole in my pocket :D Here's what I bought [EEe!:]

I'm working to become a crocheting aficionado. Yay yay yay - I'm excited to get started :D I also bought some yarn and material to work on the booties I blogged about last time. I've made some trial booties - but can't quite find the right material. I bought this cute remnant fabric from Wal-mart. There's actually a lot more material there then I thought and it's way cute. I've decided to make a blankie out of it instead :)

Here it is

Daniel and I [mostly Daniel] decided to tackle our growing stack of papers and envelopes. We bought a shredder to help with the process. Well the puppies decided they wanted to be involved. Here's a cute pic of the 3 of them cleaning :)

I like Misha's smashed face :D Apparently it's a comfy spot - cause she stayed there for a long while.

Okay - lastly - we bought a "durable" canvas chew toy for the dogs. The first day of having it they ripped through it. Misha decided it'd be fun to eat the stuffing out of it - so I had to confiscate it. It's hard to throw away because it's brand new - so I put it up so she couldn't get it. She's been mourning the stupid thing all day.
