This is our daughter's 18th birthday, and coincidentally, my brother's birthday. They were born 40 years apart--you do the math. My third pregnancy was a surprise. I don't usually tell people since I don't think it's fair to my daughter to advertise that. I'm sure none of you will break it to her, though. Because I was an "older" mother--all of 38--I had some genetic testing done early in the pregnancy. The alpha fetal protein test, the one that checks for neural tube deficits like spina bifida, came back positive twice and I ended up having to have amniocentesis. We chose not to find out the baby's gender. My daughter was due on December 12 and early in December, my doctor was telling me that it would be any day. On the 12th I had definite signs that labor should begin soon, but nothing happened. On the 17th, I went to the hospital to be induced. On the way, my husband and I speculated about what the baby would look like. We already had a boy wi

ReplyDeleteYes, it will end and it will be beautiful!!

My standards are so much lower! lol I still haven't started my finishing. I am 'afraid' to cut the lining fabric for fear I will mess up the measurements. I am thinking need a whole uninterrupted Saturday to take the plunge. I am curious to know what was so different. I saw Pat L. finish this week and NEVER even looked at the bottom!
ReplyDeleteSusan, I just discovered your blog. What wonderful work you do! Love the etui and can't wait to see it put together. Do you do your own finishing? Not me, I send my to Deb and let her do her magic as I am quite inept.
ReplyDeleteI was browsing thru previous entries and read your comment about finding and author and reading their books from the beginning - it's nice to find someone who does this, it makes me feel less ocd :-) I just love mystery novels! My new favorite is Vince Flynn - have you read his books?
Enjoy your week.
I wish you success with the project, whatever it is you must do with it. Oh, and one stitch at a time is the best way to go.
