Spot the birdie with the hat

So, we're still pregnant...."due date" my @$$. And so I'm trying to keep myself busy.

Today I painted for the first time since grade eight. Gavin says that I should comment on how much I've improved since then...well, to be honest, I'm glad that we've got nothing to compare this with in order to find out. I'm guessing that the baby won't be judgmental (at first) - but I suppose we'll learn that soon enough.

Gavin's Plaid Shirt

The various women in the Lovett and Manning families have been knitting, crotcheting, and generally putting me to shame with their handiworks - at times this has made me feel like I'm not doing enough to prepare for the birth of our baby girl. But yesterday I made up for all of that, thanks in part to some moral support from Angela, but most of all to Gavin's sharp elbow. If his elbow hadn't ruined one of his favourite shirts, this little dress would still be part of his uniform. I think the shirt is cuter this way - let's hope it fits the baby one day.
