When we went to visit Helen yesterday she gave me a doll making book. And it wasn’t even my birthday.

They are beautiful. I like these 2 the most. Now I will have an idea on how to make dolls for my baby. I say have an idea because the book is in Japanese. It has pictures so I’m hoping I’ll be able to figure it out.

Last night…or I should say this morning when I was trying to fall asleep I couldn’t. The baby usually kicks up a storm when I lie down to go to bed. I lay on my side and she usually kicks as if to say hey my space is reduced in here! Why can’t I stretch this way anymore Push push push on the side I’m lying on.

But she didn’t this morning. So I was worried. I couldn’t fall asleep for an hour. I shook my belly and said “Wake up baby!“. Shake. Shake. Shake. “What are you doing in there?” Push. Push. Push. But no movement from her.

I finally fell asleep and awoke to baby kicks. Whoo *sigh of relief*

We went to visit Ebow today to celebrate his first birthday. FIRST BIRTHDAY!! He’s turning one on Wednesday. We went down to San Francisco and had cake. Mmm…cake…laaaarrrrr…*Homer drooling noise*. Ebow’s such a cutie. He was bouncing on his little bouncy chair. And no he isn’t crying in this picture. He’s bouncing and screaming with pure unadulterated joy. He’s bouncing with such happiness and determination that one would think he could propel himself right into space. Don’t believe me? See the little wanna be spaceman for yourself.

I’m almost done with the big bad baby blanket! And Topher Grace better stay away from it! I love the middle where the four squares come together.

Amazing. I didn’t think I was going to be done anytime soon. Whenever I get halfway through with a project I sort of stall out. I don’t know why. I just do.

Well at least I’ll get this baby blanket done before the baby is born. I’m adding the final edge to it now. And then I’ll finish it by immersing it in cold water, stretching it out, and I’ll be done! Yay!

Topher Grace stole my knitting. He did. He did. At least in my dream last night he did. Topher Grace (what a name…it’s so unique I actually remembered his first name) from That ’70s Show stole my backpack full of school books and my baby blanket in progress. Never mind that in my waking world I don’t own a backpack full of school books. I was so mad at him. I was yelling at him and demanding how he could steal a baby blanket from a pregnant woman!

Maybe my subconscious mind was telling me to hurry up and finish it since it’s important enough that I would be upset if it was stolen.

This is my favorite plant in our front yard. I think it’s called star jasmine. I love the way it climbs up the column but Alan doesn’t. He says it will damage the house. Is that true? It’s so pretty…

I was writing to Trixie today and asked her if she had ever read what Keri Smith wrote about the word fuck. And I thought oh I might as well post it on my blog too. That’s how much I enjoyed her entry. I liked what she wrote so much that I can remember it even today how many months later. Go on over and take a gander.
