jack's bassinet and a bit about gardening

i have a vintage "baskinette" bassinet for jack to spend the first few months in. it is so precious, and useful! i can wheel it right up to my bedside, or right out of the way. i painted it royal blue. i would say it looks blueberry. dan doesn't care for the color. he says it is "ford engine blue". well, that can't be helped. i could never have forseen that one! mom made it a white cotton seersucker liner and recovered my old bassinet pad. it looks so cute now. today she bought some white cotton fabric to make a skirt for it. i think it will look so glamorous when she's done. it's great having a sewing mom.

i did a bit of gardening again today. i pulled a few weeds and planted some more seeds and re-potted some begonias. just trying to keep myself busy so i don't go nuts waiting.

you gardened? wow, i AM impressed. if i had tried to pull weeds when i was due at any moment, i probably would have fallen flat on my arse and not been able to get back up.

i am surprisingly dexterous. if you recall, i did mention i scrubbed the tub and shower on my due date. i think i am a lucky lucky girl.

hmmm... well, as i recall now, when i was almost due with clay nick caught me standing on a chair washing the cupboards. but bending, i could not do. my big old buddah baby belly got in the way.
