Hanna wearing some knitwear made by mama.

Hanna was born!

Our baby is quite content in her holding pattern. She's been lodged head down for a long time, months? So why not longer? It's so comfy in there and it's getting cold outside. What's the rush? Well, the Dr says if she doesn't show herself sooner, I'll be induced 6AM Saturday. It's great to have a target date now. I'm off work now, starting my maternity leave. It's doesn't feel like it for some reason though, probably because I just napped most of today and had thought I'd work today. But last night I had 5 hours of false labor pain which deprived me of sleep, as was also the case Friday.

Other news, we have a chicken that is being pecked at and is loosing valuable feathers for the winter. Not sure what to do, maybe Jesper will seperate them tomorrow. Otherwise, someone will be having chicken for dinner.

Tonight we made homemade pizza for dinner and I am making Glögg right now in preparation for the cold evenings ahead. The recipe is with the knitted wine bottle cover pattern I made last year if you are interested. I think tomorrow I'll make granola.

So now I'm 2cm dialated, the baby is moving normal and everything else in there is good to go. I don't FEEL like I'm about to go into labor. So we're going with that. I'm not due until Saturday anyway. My Dr. got our hopes up last week that I'd be early.

We have the Pack 'N Play bassinet set up in the bedroom. It's shoved into the closet with the bassinet side sticking out. We've got all the gear ready to wrap, vibrate and sooth. We're hoping she's an easy baby, but we're ready to put the "5 S's" into action!

Ya - I'm still pregnant... I have a Dr. appointment in the morning and will see how far I have progressed. Good thing it didn't happen today, Jesper took my Vespa to work. I think I am actually walking better today than I did mid-last week. Maybe my ligaments are finishing up that stretching.

Today I visited my high school friend Jandellyn at Salmon Days. She gifted me one of the favorite items her and her husband creates and sells. It's a flower pot hanger and I love it! She has an Etsy store online for their metal garden art.
