A Challenge!

First time that I have participated in a challenge but it was just perfect for this picture. Used October Afternoon paper, Scenic Route chipboard buttons, Studio Calico stamps and hand stitching.

Lily Grace

Lily Grace Hamblin was born at 10.21pm on Tuesday 23rd September weighing 6lb 10oz.

Welcome to the world little one.

21st September

The big day today - due day. Unsurprisingly Pumpkin did not make his/her appearance although I was not really expecting it. I think today's lesson for Shimelle's class is that babies have their own timetables. So today was a day of sport with two football matches, the Ryder Cup and NFL to watch. Even though I don't really like golf it's fun to watch it with James.

20th September

Same old routine. Meals, sleeps, walks and crafts. Always pleasant but feeling a little restless. Decided to stop reading the preganancy forums. Sick of reading about people who are 38 weeks pregnant and have already had their babies. Still can't believe that I will actually have a baby in the next two weeks. Washed some second hand nappies that I bought and they dried beautifully in the sunshine. Enjoyed a walk with James (plus a flake ice-cream as I have to keep my energy up). Strictly Come Dancing also started again. There is nothing like a little bit of glitz for a Saturday night.

19th September

Beautiful weather today. Sunny but not too hot. One of the worst symptoms of late pregnancy has not been the acid indigestion or the back ache but the stretch marks that have developed recently. They are so itchy and inflammed. I have to remember to put copious of cream on them otherwise they are unbearable. Still I think that in a few weeks I will look back at this discomfort at being minimal! I am making progress with Shimelle's class now that my materials have arrived and hope to post my work tomorrow. Today I learnt that although I hate cleaning the end result is worth it.

18th September

Made massive amounts of granola today. This combined with all the bread and meals that I have in the freezer should mean that we should be able to survive at least a few days once Pumpkin arrives. However, at the rate James can eat granola I'm not entirely sure that it will last. I also washed the special toy that James has bought for Pumpkin. That has been one of the most special things about this whole pregnancy - his excitment and love for the baby. Both me and the baby are very lucky to have him.

17th September

Final visit to the Midwives today. Everything seems okay although Pumpkin doesn't appear ready for his/her exit anytime soon. The Midwife seemed a little concerned that the heartbeat was a little fast but it did settle down. However, I was quite worried so I have kept up my kick chart just to reassure myself. I am booked in for a sweep on Sat 27th if Pumpkin hasn't arrived by then which I am sure sounds like more fun than it really is. However, all this extra time waiting for Pumpkin has allowed me to finish some more pages thanks to all the wonderful inspiration at Studio Calico.
