Slow Saturday


Gi and I spent most of today dozing and hanging out in the family room - I started the day off with a fasting glucose tolerance test (my kidneys have been spilling some sugar as of late, so it was a double check that gestational diabetes isn't the issue.) That whole bouncing blood sugar/blood loss threw me off for quite a while, but I'm starting to feel normal again. We're going to go to the diner later, to fulfill Georgia's wish for pancakes and milkshakes. Only three weeks till the new kid "shows up" around here, so we need to wash some gender-neutral baby clothes and get the new crib in that room. The kiddo will be using our co-sleeper for the first year, just like Gi, but if Gi or the dogs get too curious during #2's naps, it'll be nice to have the crib already set up.

I'll finish my stacked coins quilt top tonight, and do some creative re-arranging of my remaining quilt batting - I ....think....I have enough that this quilt shouldn't require any new material, but I also still need to account for the backing. We shall see. Now that I've got the energy to quilt again (most nights) I was thrilled to see that it's quilt-along month over at Sew Mama Sew, and am going to follow along with that while I quilt my current project - I think I'll make all three versions of the nine patch in some feminine colors for this week's block. I think the stacked coin quilt may be full size, we'll see how far out I can get with the blue cotton I have left. At the very least it'll probably fit a twin bed nicely.

If I can get together the energy over the next few weeks, I'd like to get all the tax stuff in order so E can bring everything to our accountant even if I'm out of commission. I was planning on waiting to do seed orders till we finished those, but it probably makes sense to just send in the darn things already. G'night all.
