Wow, I haven’t blogged since March 31st!  You would have thought that there would have been something to write about since the Jetta incident.  Perhaps I have been a bit preoccupied what with the pregnancy & all.  On March 31st I was only 19 weeks along, now I’m 37- time flies!  Pregnancy has been - dare I say it, much easier than expected.  In fact, I’ve pretty much enjoyed it the entire time.  I would say I am blessed with a good pregnancy but who knows!  I am tired nearly 24/7 but I’m pretty sure there isn’t much I can do about that.  I pee about every half hour & get kicked in the ribs most of the day, it’s lovely.  I have also had the creative juices flowing for the past couple of months which has been great.  From home projects to my clay, I have a new project to do nearly daily.  Here’s a little sample of my clay works.

I often refer to my recent works as my artistic freedom work.  It’s fun, colorful & I just love doing it.  My philosiphy has always included keeping my passion fun or it wouldn’t survive as a passion anymore, so I make these little pretties for exrpession & extreme creative release.  Other than that, I have been decorating up a storm around the house.  No major painting projects yet but only because I am so burnt out from our last house.  There are three (THREE) maroon rooms in our new house & yea, I don’t like maroon at all.  So for now, I survive with it but it does dampen my mood slightly.  I have boxes full of decorations gathered over the years that I have revived & hung.  Some were hung as is, some modified by yours truly.  I can’t believe how much crap I had accumulated.  Finally, I have the space to put it.  Perhaps working in a “craft mall” for 6 years has something to do with the amount of junk I gathered up.  Pretty happy about it now, it was like Christmas unpacking boxes!  The only room in the house that is completely finished is the nursery.  I new exactly what I was going to do with it whether it was a boy or a girl & the day after we found out it was a girl I already had the paint in hand & primer on the walls.  I finished my first custom Munny to match the nursery walls & some custom letters for the bean’s initials:

Though we’ve changed our mind about the name a couple of times & I even bought a new letter as a backup…
As for me, I am ready to burst pretty much but by no means am wishing to “get this pregnancy thing over with” this may be my only one so I am enjoying it!  Every little kick, every stab to the bladder, every sleepless night…  more of those to come.
