Manic Kitty

You do crafts dear, which are inherently messy things to do.

As Porl once said to me about my inability to keep my desk tidy.
This is my excuse for not having taken any pictures of my lovely new craft space. I moved all things up there, and got everything organised, then I started making cards, so the craft corner is a working mess.

I'm not generally a card making person, however I hate giving money to Hallmark etc, so I do try to make my own cards for Christmas, birthdays and other Hallmark holidays. The current lot of cards are just blank notelets as I'm sure they'll be useful at some point very soon.

For friends wanting baby related news, we went for our 36 week scan on Thursday. The news was very good. I'm all set for the natural birth with gas, air and a big bouncy ball that I want. Thankfully my placenta has shifted, and I won't be needing a caesarean. It's a huge relief, I really, really didn't want surgery. They are still being serious about the (very mild) latex allergy though, so in between screaming for pain relief I've also got to remember to scream at them to put on their blue gloves.
I wonder if I'll remember? Or be bothered?

It was nice to see bump again, we didn't get any pictures as it was laid awkwardly, and it's far too big to fit on one image now, but the sonographer was able to give us a pretty good look at the face by manoeuvring the scanner cleverly. Only about 3.5 weeks till we see the real thing.
All the measurements were done again, and even though everyone keeps telling me I'm looking very small (which I admit I'm relishing, I've never been thought of as small before, I'm short and plump,) but the baby is smack bang in the middle of all the growth charts. I'm hoping the fact I haven't put on much weight means I'll lose it again fairly easily, and maybe even lose some of the excess I had before too. If that turns out to be the case then I wish I'd got pregnant years ago, and I might have to consider having several more babies so I can end up waif like :)
Or maybe not...
