Before I get started with posting about my actual craft projects, I feel the need to write a little about another project that has been nine months in the making.

I have now two days to go to having a baby and not to the due date (that is still four days away), but to the doctor's appointment preceding the C-section that will most likely happen on Thursday. It feels weird to go to the hospital knowing that I will most likely stay there and when I come back home, I'll be returning with the baby.

My hospital bag is still not packed and I have quite a bit to do before Wednesday and my appointment. I've been having contractions every single day for a week or so and on Saturday they got so bad that I thought that we would have to leave for the hospital, but they subsided eventually. I know that I'm kind of toying with the uncertainties as I really can't know when I'll go into labor. All the signs are there and it could happen any time now.

I still have the baby's crib in progress. I'm hoping to get that done tonight. I also have one baby's cat hat order that must be ready on Friday and I really should've already done that, but I haven't. I've planned to do that tomorrow. Here's hoping that I won't go into labor tonight.

I have many things to post about. I've recently finished several knitting projects for the Ravelympics 2010 and I've even taken photos of them already. I've also taken photos of my crib project, because it is quite an interesting piece of recycling. I've ordered and received some super-pretty quilting fabrics and we've painted a tree in my daughter's new room. It's not finished yet, but "in progress" photos are great too.

I also want to gather some photos of my interior design inspiration into one post (or several) because I'm thinking that I need to organize my thoughts and find out in what kind of a house I want to live in. Not in a cluttered chaos like it is now, that I do know.

But all of this has to wait until after the birth. For now our life revolves around the moment of birth and the arrival of our new family member. We'll see when I get to post again. Perhaps from the hospital if I get my fiancé to borrow me his iphone.
