What I've been up to. . .
Dec. 27th, 2006 04:39 amWell, pretty much the bulk of my time since December 4th has been eaten up by this little guy:
In fact, the reason I'm up at 4am is to feed him.
That's Jonah Tristan Lehmann, our son who was born, in quite a hurry I might add, on the 4th. I was only in labor for 5.5 hours, 20-30 minutes of which was the actual delivery time. I was awoken by the first contraction at around 5am and he was born at 10:29. We barely made it to the hospital in time to deliver. Things are going well, despite some breastfeeding complications. But we might be giving up and switching to formula, so those will be over soon, one way or another. In the background there is the fleece blanket I made for him. Or rather just trimmed the selvages off and put a decorative edge on it with my machine. I think it took longer to drag my sewing stuff out than it did to actually finish the blanket.
We had a great Christmas, though an exhausting one. Chris' parents came up Monday and stayed through yesterday after we had driven to Huntsville to visit my family and several friends on Sunday. So, Jonah has been well traveled already.
Chris' parents gave us each a check for $250. When Chris asked me what I wanted to spend mine on (he insisted something strictly for myself), I told him a bolt of silk velvet. That's exactly what I'm going to do too. I'll order it later today. It'll run a little over that, but not by much.
I've also decided that since I'm pretty much back to my prepregnancy shape, maybe even a little thinner, I'm going to pull out my Blood Red gown again and start back to work on it. I'd really like to finish that before starting anything else, window treatments included.
