When You Feel as Big as a Truck...Just Eat More Ice Cream

I had my usual doctor visits today. Sad news from the foot doctor, I have to have toe surgery again:( I just hope everything works out that I can stay on my insurance, or it needs to be done within 6 weeks of this kid being born. Thankfully my mom is coming down in early May so I hope we can do it then when extra help is around. Oh the joys.

Then there was more sad news from the midwife, I'm still just at 1cm:( Thankfully Little Man is still doing well he just wants to keep cooking. I've given up any hope of this kid coming early.

There is good news to report!!! I got my serger!!!! I watched the wonderful 80s video to learn how to thread it and now I'm still learning how to adjust the tension. All will come in time. I made a bunch of cloth wipes and finished the edges on some diapers I made from t-shirts. Sweet Pea and I went on an adventure to Hancock Fabrics this evening and got some super-cute Cookie Monster flannel to make some receiving blankets, burp cloths, and maybe wipes out of. I'm also going to try to turn some of her prefold diapers into fitted ones, and shorten up some others too. If all of this diaper sewing works out well I'm going to order some fabric to make a bunch of inserts and possibly fitted and/or pocket diapers too. At least some hemp fabric for inserts to save a bunch of money. Time will have to tell on the rest.

The next goal is to get into our house-to-be and measure all of the windows so I can buy fabric to make curtains.

I'm still on a sugar craze. McDonald's was calling to me on the way home and I had to get a hot fudge sunday with nuts. It was super! Maybe tomorrow will be a better sugar day.
