Jerel's Custom Nursery, Part III

Yesterday I finally finished Jerel's customized crib bedding set. I think it turned out pretty cute. The monkey is my favorite. I had fun figuring out how to quilt it. I haven't done a whole lot of machine quilting before but I think it turned out okay. I did a criss-cross design on the wide border, horizontal stripes on the squares with plants, and a meandering pattern (or "squiggles" as Jerel calls them) on the squares with animals.

At our dr. appt. last week he told us that if I showed any signs of labor ever coming by this week then he would consider scheduling me for inducement on July 2nd. I was hopeful and July 2nd didn't sound too far away. But then at our appt. yesterday there were NO signs of this baby ever coming out. I wasn't surprised by that, but it was definitely disappointing. The fun and excitement of pregnancy has worn out its welcome and I'm ready for it to end! So now the dr. says that if by next week there are any signs of labor then he might consider inducing me on the 10th of July...the 10th? Jeez, that's like 6 months from now! And probably next week there still won't be any signs anyway! I think what is going to happen is that instead of having my baby at the same time as Karee (she's getting induced on the 29th) I will end up having my baby at the same time as Mandy & Jake (they are due in September). But at least I'm not frustrated and whiney about it, right?

After the appointment Jerel offerred to take me to Dairy Queen, which I definitely needed since I was on the verge of tears. Then when we got home he put the tv on Discovery Health Channel (which I'm addicted to and he hates) for me and that was a good distraction. We finished out the evening watching So You Think You Can Dance and then it was off to bed for me and Charlie.
