Weekend and various countdowns.
Nov. 20th, 2011 10:46 pmIt has a weekend.
Sat was intended to be a early start to tidying, before heading over the hill for P's 1 year birthday. Managed to wash the dishes before, but not much else. Oh well. Was a good afternoon and evening. Much talking. Thank you to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
dragonermine and S for the bassinet, baby gym and baby bath and much discussion on baby infrastructure.
Sun: The intention was more cleaning and tidying, butalpha_angel organised a trip to Otaki - the land of the outlet shop and (hopefully) cheap bras (in odd sizes). I think I had most success, with 1 $10 and 2 $5 12DD bras (the baseline was 10D pre pregnancy, for reference). Hopefully these should give me about a month's wearing at least. And a cinnamon soap and a rose soap from the markets (yay nice smelling soap). Home just before the rain arrived, then an evening filled with homemade pizza and a cat on my lap for a while, before measuring and cutting out a linen undertunic each for me and basal_surge. 1st necklines (I hate necklines), then I'll work out the ratio of machine to hand sewing and get stuck into that.
However it is now after 10pm, so nothing more involving cutting fabric or thinking.
5 weeks to Christmas.
10 weeks to CF.
~20 weeks to Easter.
We are now at 20 weeks ie half way there (though didn't exactly notice for the 1st 6 weeks, so the 2nd 'half" may seem longer). 20 week ultrasound is scheduled for Tues morning. Gender may or may not be observable at that point. Yes, we are happy to find that out at this stage - it will simplify the name spreadsheet... though I suspect the most it will establish is if it is definitely a boy.
