[ootus973]

Sounds good to me...all this waiting is driving me crazy

[swatty]

Awww im sure!! i'm one handed right now cuz I'm nursing Avey. I dont go to the dr til june 5 and its a new one so theres added fear in there. just hoping its a good dr!

[ootus973]

I know what you mean...We're moving to another state soon, and I'm so scared about getting decent care :-(

[swatty]

well i certainly hope wherever you go is better than where you are going now!! I feel so badly for you that they have treated you the way they have!! I forget, and since you don't have a ticker, when are you due? I have had such a food baby the past two nights its unreal. i can't. stop. eating!! And if I don't eat every 2 hrs on the dot, i feel SO sick!!

[swatty]

I'm making my friend soem un-paper towels. I hope and pray they turn out ok, I will be so upset if I mess them up!!!! Its nice for me to be sewing again, I haven't sewn much this year and it feels really good to start up again!

I'm afraid to do a ticker yet....but I'm due Jan 15th, and he plans to do a c-section before 39 weeks so I don't go into labor....but we'll see what the Dr. in NC will say...

un-paper towels???

[swatty]

Re-useable paper towels. They are made from fabric on one side and terry cloth on the other and connected together with diaper snaps to reduce waste from paper towels

i wish i had the patience to make them and then wash them and then put them back together again when they are clean

[swatty]

I know, me too!! I'm making them for her and feeling guilty that I"m not making any for myself! I'll make some newborn cd's to make up for it though I guess.

[ootus973]

With DD I made a bunch of burp cloths and receiving blankets, plus fitted sheets and a bumper for her cradle...i don't know what I'll do this time...just waiting to make sure this one sticks before I think about it...

I made a lot of DS's stuff and Im working on the BFF's nursery stuff.

[ootus973]

I would love to start working on things again...and being due in the winter means I can knit for the baby...

I'm a sewing person and computer person lol I can't knit anything like that. I tried to learn but I could not get it at all.

[swatty]

I'm with Sammi! I can sew just about anything you ask but knitting...I end up tangled up in the yarn like something you'd see in a bad cartoon!!

[ootus973]

I have a friend who teaches knitting in CA (to the "stars", lol), and she taught me the basics. After that, I bought a couple of books and taught myself harder patterns. My favorite thing to knit is socks--tiny bamboo needles that feel so good in my hands, thin little sock yarn with it's ever-changing color array, and patterns that you have to concentrate on or you'll ruin them. It takes my mind off of things, because I can't obsess and knit at the same time. Now, sewing? I can talk on the phone, watch TV, see, and think all at the same time

Speaking of obsessing...second beta is today...

[sammilynn]

Lol when I'm sewing I am disconnected because I plug in my headphones and listen to music. I can't stand to do too much or I know I can mess up and I hate seam ripping so I try to avoid it. lol

[ootus973]

I can't wear headphones, my 4-year-old is too sneaky

[sammilynn]

I only sew when Dh is home so some one can watch my 2 year old. It my mommy time when Im not working out or at the shooting range

[ootus973]

Ooh...you shoot too? What do you shoot? I have a 9mm, and DF just bought me a longbow

[sammilynn]

45mm, 9mm, 22, 12 gage. I'm not one for bows but my niece shoots them in competitions. I love shooting and its a good way to unwind.

btw I hope y'all don't mind I hang in here. Im still in the waiting phase

[ootus973]

I personally have no problem with you hanging here with us, the more the merrier!

Btw, while I have only the 9mm, there are 6 rifles and shotguns under the bed (at the moment, we'll have them back in a gun safe once we move)...and 2 black powders including a 50 cal. I was getting a 22 revolver for plinking, but I think I'll wait a little while now. Hoping to have to spend the money on other things. I've always wanted to bow hunt, so I'm pretty excited about learning to use the long bow...especially since I can do that right in the backyard The ultimate in stress-relief, especially when the stress is provided by my ex-husband

[sammilynn]

That is just my guns. DH has several others and we have a nice display case for our nicer ones then our gun safe holds our ones we actually use. lol I have my permit to carry so I would love to get a derringer or a classic revolver.

I may officially join in a week or so once I talk to my Doc.

[ootus973]

I work in a hunting/camping/fishing store, so I'm around them a lot. I'll probably get my permit again once we move, but I can't carry to work and that's pretty much the only place I go lately. We get to use the range for free, so that's nice too

for your next appointment

[sammilynn]

I live out in the boonies so we just shoot in the various ranges at the parks and then we go to the IL's house to shoot too. The only time I really carry is to the county fair cause I work it and it is just honestly to get the stupid hillbilly rednecks to realize Im not messing around an not to push me around. I started that last year and I did not have one trouble out of anyone. lol

[swatty]

Whoa, Sammi I am PRAYING you join us! I have been praying my heart out for you and several others (Like Leigh!) for MONTHS and whether or not you officially join us, you are MORE than welcome to hang out as long as you want!!!

[swatty]

Walmart had a ton of fabric on clearance. I had to put blinders on and run away I need NO more fabric til I use up some of what I have!!

And as far as guns, I love to shoot with my dad. I have a Taurus 22 revolver he is going to be changing into my name soon. I can't wait til dh and I find a range out here so we can shoot more often!!

I'm moving next week, so no more fabric until I move

We sell the Taurus 22, it's very nice.

My son turns 11 tomorrow, time to go set up his surprise party!! We told him moving was his present

[swatty]

Augusta if you work where I think you do, we bought it from one of your stores. I saw it one day when we were "window shopping" and told my dad "Look at THAT gun! Its so pretty!" He got all irritated saying "Guns aren't pretty but I have been looking for that one for a while now" So we got it. He said he can't look at it w/ out hearing me say "Its so pretty" so its mine now
