I snuggled my pillow as I walked out the front door into the darkness of the morning.  A chill rose in the Virginia air - the chill of early fall.  Gil walked me to my mini-van to start the journey, the journey to bring BT into this world.  I would begin it alone.
Bump still slept, [...]

Dreams of Labor and a Tree

Last night, I kept having dreams that I was in labor.  Then I would wake up, and realize that I was not in labor, but just uncomfortable.  So I'd roll over and go back to sleep only to waken a few hours later with the same dreams.
Nothing happening, in other words.
Gil has had two days [...]

Quilting Experiments

While I could have decided to vacuum my house during Bump's afternoon nap, instead I chose to start machine quilting my "experimental quilt".

I unrolled it the other day to show someone, and it has been calling my name ever since.  I wasn't quite sure what I was going to do to it.  I decided today [...]

It's funny.  Since I've switched my blog over to Word Press, it's as if the Googlers suddenly found me.  On my MT version of Shelly's Journal, I'd be lucky to get 1 hit a day via Google or other search engines.  But now, things are reving up.

Well, nothing new.  I'm still here at home with things about the same as they were  yesterday.  I saw my Dr.  I'm now up to 4 cm and 100% effaced.  He's right at 0 station.  I don't know how much more ready I could be….They say anytime and are convinced that I won't make a [...]

It's waiting for the other shoe to drop.  Something has got to happen sometime, right?  Today I found myself weary from the worry and slept for probably 3 hours.  I had my beautiful little quilt all pinned and ready to be sewn, but I couldn't pull myself out of bed.
Have you every just been that [...]
