Busy....busy....

Our OB appt was entirely uneventful and as many of you have said before, a waste of time. Dr. G came in felt my uterus, says it's the right size, stuck the Doppler on my belly, answered my questions, ordered the blood work for my quad screening and that was it.

As far as what I'm limited to doing in NC: "If you feel ok doing it and it's nothing outrageous, there's no reason why you can't just do whatever you normally would". BOOGIE BOARDING HERE I COME! (let me just say that I'm not some crazy person, I more or less just float on the waves). She actually told me that it's a great time to travel, because I'm out of the risk area and not uncomfortable yet...sounds good to me. I do have to take a baby aspirin while we're driving to help prevent any blood clots.

Surprise of all surprises....we have our "anatomy scan" this Thursday. I was hoping for next week, but the only time they can get us in between now and when we leave is Thursday. Hopefully they can find out everything they need, and we can find out if we're having a girl or a boy. Oh my goodness, it's so hard to believe that we may actually know what we're having in just a few days!

The drive home was interesting. Matt drove from O-town, a peasly 35 minutes away, by the time I dropped him at my parents and drove into town (another 10 minutes) I was gagging and praying that I'd make it home before I threw up. As soon as I made it in the driveway, I opened the door and was throwing up. Lovely! This drive to NC is going to be interesting...unless I'm driving I feel nauseous (I've always had issue with car rides, but it's worse now). I have to ask on Thursday about whether I can take dramamine, otherwise I'm driving for 12 hours or throwing up.

The weekend was busy, we did a lot of work outside. I got all of the window boxes planted, as well as the hanging baskets, and managed to weed the front flower beds. Matt got the back and front lawns mowed. He was going to rototill the garden, but the tiller isn't working...that has to go to the shop tomorrow.

I know I've been really bad about keeping you guys up to date on what sewing projects I've had going on. I can't show you what I just finished, because I sent it off without taking any pictures. I will show you what I made tonight. I've been wanting a summery tote bag to use as a purse, but I haven't found any I like...I finally caved and tried making my own again....it actually came out:
