Last night, around 5:30, our power came back on! It was amazing. I may have done a mini light show flipping all of our lights on and off. Sawyer was staying out at Weston's parents house for the night, as it was getting a bit chilly in the house. Weston and I went out to dinner because all of our dishes were in the dishwasher (getting CLEAN!) and it's always nice to have a dinner out without trying to wrangle a toddler.
The power couldn't have come on a moment too soon... over night the temperature dropped below freezing and we had a yard full of frost this morning. I am SO thankful that we have the heat and everything back. 4 days was a long time....

I have the BEST friends. Remember my friend, Kelsey? I've blogged about her before... check out her blog if you haven't already... you are sure to be inspired. Anyway, she stopped by on Friday night with her boys (the oldest started school this year... crazy!) and they had such a great time with Sawyer. She had brought by a little gift for me... and I couldn't believe what it was. Remember how I lost my knitting bag with the Baby's coming home outfit in it?! Well, Kelsey had knit me the exact same outfit! It is a grey blue with grey trim and star buttons and it is incredible and perfect. I was just SO touched and overwhelmed at her generosity... (and again amazed by her ability to finish so much in such a short amount of time!) I will post pictures soon, but Weston has the camera at the moment (which is in the birth bag, which is in his car...).
Again, I am reminded that knitters are amazing and I am lucky to be surrounded by such generous people....

We have been without power since Tuesday night at 10pm. It might come back on tonight, but at this point, I'm not too hopeful. Still no baby.... s/he is probably waiting until we can heat the house again... smart kid.

A Sad Story
Sticks and String
So, on Thursday I took Baby's coming home outfit to the park where we met a friend and Sawyer and her son played and played.... I knit the sleeve and only had the cuff left. Then after bedtime, I asked Weston to run to my car to get it out so I could finish it. He came back empty handed. We searched the house. No luck. I remember dropping my knitting in the parking lot while getting Sawyer in the car, but I thought I tossed it into the car.... I guess I didn't. Went back to the park. No luck. I left a sign, posted on craigslist, and called the LYSs to see if anyone had turned it in.... no luck.....
:(
So, Baby will be coming home in the same outfit Sawyer did. I was pretty upset about it at first, but now I've accepted it... there is nothing I can do about it. Still a big bummer though.

I have my 38-week appointment today. There was some excitement this weekend and we thought we were going to have a baby, but nope... Baby is still happy where s/he is. Which is fine. :) I'm guessing today will be another uneventful appointment.
I hope everyone had a nice Labor Day weekend!

Labor Day
Sticks and String
Baby's coming home outfit still needs one sleeve... Weston told me to slow down because he thinks the second it is done, Baby will come. He is so funny. Anyway, I'll probably work on that today... Sawyer and I did go pick out buttons for the outfit yesterday and I think they will look really nice. After I finish up that sleeve I might give in and start something new...
Mini Me
I can't remember if I listed all the new things Sawyer has learned lately... so, if I did, sorry. Blame my pregnant brain. He has learned to jump, walk backwards, spin in circles, and open the sliding glass door. It is so funny to watch him jumping... toddlers are hilarious!
In the Kitchen
This weekend my plan is to do a lot of cooking and put it in the freezer so we will have food for after Baby arrives. I know that I won't be in the mood to cook, and this way if Weston isn't either, we won't starve! I'm not really looking forward to cooking, but I am excited to have it all done! And, really it shouldn't take me too long as I'll be making simple dishes (chili, tacos, biscuits)...
There are some bets of when Baby will be making an appearance. Some people are thinking it will be this weekend as it is LABOR day. Ha ha. :P We will see.

Baby Watch 2012

Baby's coming home outfit needs arms and a button band... that will easily be done this weekend. I've also been making good progress on a hat for Weston. I'm still tempted to cast on something new.... but, I'm resisting. Maybe once I finish at least one thing.... maybe.....
Mini Me
Speaking of Baby, I will be 37 weeks on Tuesday. That means that I will be "full-term" enough to deliver at the birth center. I have a window of 37-42 weeks to deliver there.... Sawyer was born at 39 weeks, so we will see when Baby decides to make an appearance.
Alright, off to nap and knit....

Lead me not...
Sticks and String
Into temptation... oh, Twist collective... how I love you. And how you tempt me with your matching kid and adult owl mittens... BUT, I must be strong. I have too many things on the needles (one of which is Baby's coming home outfit and really does need to get finished) and Ican should not start something new. Winter is coming. Sawyer and I would really rock matching mittens. I already have yarn in my stash. Oh, me and my wondering eyes.

Sawyer has been rocking the potty training like a champ. I never push him to do anything, but he has decided when we are home, he doesn't want to wear diapers and he has only had two? accidents on the floor in weeks. CRAZY! I still put diapers on him for sleep and outings, but even while we are out, he has started to ask to use the potty. He still doesn't talk, but he's pretty awesome.
He also got to meet his Uncle Jeff for the first time this week. Jeff is in the Navy and showed up unexpectedly at my parent's house this week. Sawyer still isn't quite sure about him, but I think he warmed up to him after we all went to the zoo yesterday. I'll try to grab some pictures from my dad of all of us together.
Right Around, Baby
I can't remember if I mentioned this, but I did get my drum carder!! I went with a fine fancy kitty drum carder and love it!! It has been so much fun to play with! I have been carding up some fun batts... I think once I get a few more finished I'm going to put them up on Etsy, as I have enough other fiber I really want to spin, and clearing out the space + getting a tiny bit of cash is a bit more appealing to me at the moment. It is so fun making them though!

Early Morning
Mini-Me
I love Sawyer.
I'm not sure I will ever understand him...
And sometimes (like when he gets up at 4:57am) I'm not sure what to do with him...
That is all.
