My Little Corner
Nothing much new to show you today, so I will give you a glimpse into my work space. Well, if you can call it that!
Now that my ’studio’ has become Henri’s room, we had to find a space for all of my stuff. So, I have my own tiny little nook in the basment. It’s ok though because I pretty much do all my work in the kitchen.
Here is my wall. I also have my work computer, scanner and printer and shelves in there.
I hope to get the rest of my corner decorated soon, but it’s a start.
This weekend was very long and not quite how we had hoped to spend it. On Friday night, by the time Jerome got home from work my feet were sooooo swollen. Beyond just normal pregnancy edema, we decided. So, after a very long restless night, I called the on-call doctor and OF COURSE they want you to go in, so we spent ALL DAY Saturday at St. Mary’s labor and delivery triage. Not of course, that I thought I was in labor, nor did I think I was near delivery, yet there is where we spent the day. Basically I had a fever and high blood pressure, although not too high, and some minor contractions (normal) so they strapped me up to the monitors and we got to listen to little man thumping away all day. He is totally fine and after hours of blood work, exams etc. I was told that basically I may have a virus or that it is just really exaggerated pregnancy symptoms. Great, thanks. It is nice to be reassured that he is just happy as can be in there and that I’m the only miserable one. Well, Jerome is probably getting there too! At least the hospital has a decent cafe so I could nibble a bit of food. I’m pretty much out of room for food too and the only things that taste good are fresh fruit and ice cream!
So, nothing personal little guy, but after almost 37 weeks of letting you take up residence in my belly, I’m pretty much ready for you to move into your own room. Your dad and I even went yesterday to pick up the rest of the stuff I need (fine, wanted) for the hospital!
Anyway, now I am basically confined to about 1-2 hours of actual productive time a day. Today it will be spent going to the post office to ship orders and some consignment packages and maybe stop and look for a few more blank frames since I need to start restocking eventually!
Time to run while I have a little oomph. Wish me luck!
Hang in there Sassy Lady! I hear you on the exaggerated symptoms. My legs are so swollen that the skin just feels like its gonna split. Seriously, I can make like an inch+ deep dent in my calf. The food however, I haven’t gotten to that point…in fact I’m starving ALL THE TIME and then I eat too much and make myself ridiculously uncomfortable. lol
So you like Chococat too!! I swear we be taste twins! lmao I call Chococat the Downtown Soul Kitty of the Hello Kitty family. I eat my cereal out of a Chococat bowl every morning. :)
Alright…time to try to be productive. I am at about a “one hour on” to “three hours on my butt” ratio.
