So excuse the lameness of this post. I have lots of goodies to share but it will have to wait for another day... I am just too tired tonight.
I have been plugging away on my two gifts. My bib and burp cloth are done except for the button that needs to be sewn on the bib. And I now have 21 of 29" complete on the bath scrubby. After I finish the tube I "just" need to do 19" of i-cord.
I have two baby projects that are eating away at me, crying out to be cast on but I am being good, holding them at bay until the gifts are done.
And speaking of the baby-to-be (BtB), he is certainly giving us a lot of hints that he will be putting in an early appearance (those of you who are only interested in knitting can turn away now, this post is taking sharp left into Babyville). I have been having consistent low-grade contractions since Saturday night with a journey into some pretty intense contractions Sunday night (as in I thought we were headed to full-on labor intense). As a result of Sunday's fun and games Hubby decided not to make his scheduled trip to San Fran this week. So of course, with that decision made the contractions let up and have been pretty mild and less frequent... Typical. You know that I would have gone into full blown labor the minute he stepped on that plane but now.... :)
And just to keep us on our toes, BtB decided to take a looooooooonnnnnnnngggg siesta today and not move or kick for hours, freaking us out. One trip to Labor & Delivery later everything is fine. As soon as the nurse hooked me up to the fetal monitors he "woke up" and his heart rate was everything it should be. I was grateful he was fine but somewhat chagrined at making a wholly unnecessary trip to the hospital. At least I found out that I am now 1.5 cm dilated (half a cm more than on Thursday) so things are making slow progress. My doctor has said she'll admit me when I hit 3 cm so I am halfway there (since I was induced last time we have no idea if I am a fast or slow laborer so they will admit me a little earlier than they would with some women just in case I am fast).
BtB will be 37 weeks (technically full term) on Saturday so he can feel free to put in an appearance anytime after that. I hope he doesn't dawdle. Stick a fork in me- I'm ready to be done.

Yikes! I'm glad BtB is okay. He seems like trouble already... but maybe he's just showing off.
I know the feeling. I'm 36 weeks and a day and I've been having long discussions with my belly that we don't have to wait until the 18th. Any time after... say the 9th is good with me!
Hi Katie, It really does sound like BtB is on the way soon. I hope that you get done everything you want to get done but no one will hold it against you if you don't do it all! Take care of yourself.
Glad BtB is okay. I had Sean at 38 weeks, and boy was I glad. I couldn't wait to have him out at that point. I was done baking in my oven, so to speak. So I know how you feel!
You can hold him in until Saturday. Hope you're both doing well. I'll be thinking of you.
