I just realized that I hadn’t done a 30 week update. I suppose it is mostly because it would just involve me whining. My allergies have kicked in with a vengenace and Claritin seems to be keeping it to annoying, but not giving me total relief. I have also hit that stage where everything is sore and sleeping isn’t easy. I suppose this is all to make me want her to be here sooner and get over my fear of childbirth. I keep joking with Dan that they need to figure out some way to just “beam” her out. Where is Scotty when you need him? I have finally accepted the fact that she will have to come out and went to the libary to check out books on ways of dealing with it. I also picked up the latest Anthony Bourdain book, so that I can immerse myself in cynical talk of food when I get overwhelmed. Thank goodness I have a great support group and I know in the end I will finally get to meet Ruby.
I have been slightly productive this week. I finished blankets for Jessica’s twins. We both had a lack of blankets and I was pretty excited to find a way to make them without having to knit or crochet the whole thing. My patience for long projects is shot right now. Oh and I should say I had a lack of blankets, because I received 4 homemade blankets this week. They were made by Ruby’s grandmother, great grandmother and a very generous friend of the great grandmother. I can’t express enough how much they mean to me. My favorite items from childhood were blankets made for me by my grandmother and mother. Now to get the thank you cards filled out that I made today and get them sent out asap. I can be bad about putting things off, but this is one task that needs be done soon.
Lastly, I leave you with my craving of the week. I think it is a dangerous one and I hope that next week I crave something a little healthier.
