Starlet, Pregnancy, and Baby Stuff

Okay, it seems that there's a little bit of confusion out there about who Starlet is but it's my fault because I never said.  I guess I thought that since my family knew everybody else would know.  Starlet is our neighbor's dog and we were just dog sitting her for about a week.  Her owners came back last night and took her away and now I really miss her.  It was nice to have her there with me all day but I'll have a baby soon so I want be so lonely.  

Well my pregnancy has been going really well.  I am a little uncomfortable  but nothing to bad.  I'm still sleeping rather well at night except for the times I have to get up at night and take the long walk down stairs to go to the bathroom.  I think that because I have such a well proportioned body and my body carries the baby so well that that's why I have not had so much discomfort.  I was doing really well and then my sciatic nerve started acting up.  That really hurt and I was having a hard time walking.  One of the midwives got me into physical therapy witch helped a lot.  The lady there showed me some stretches I could do and gave me a back brace to wear.  The back brace helps a lot the the stretches fill good.  So now we just have to wait and see how thing go up till the birth.  

Starlet sleeping.  
Oh, cushy bed.  I found Wile e sleeping on the wood chips.  I guess he liked it there. 
Here's the baby cradle.  Jason's mom sent me this stuff.  It was from when Jason and his brother were babies.  






This is Jason's bunny that he had when he was a kid.  
This is one of Jason's baby outfits he wore as a baby.  
This is one of his shirts he wore as a kid.     Front and
back.
Here are the blankets I crocheted for the baby.  One for if it's a girl and
one for if it's a boy.  
I got these receiving blankets at Target.  They will work for both a boy or a girl.  I like the one with trees on it.  (Mom, the brown one has some pink polka dots on it.  Just so you know.)  
These are the baby towels and washcloths that we got when we were in Anchorage.  I thought they were cute.  
Look at the tiny new born diaper.  So cute.

Coming up in the next post:  Name that chicken, Where's Wile e, and Starlet's fury kitty companions

Honeymoon, chickens, chair, and Starlet


Look what I found.  Pictures from our honeymoon at Hatcher Pass Lodge. 
This was inside the little cabin that we stayed in.
It was very beautiful there and the weather was really nice until the last day when it snow about a foot or so and we couldn't get the car out.  
Wow, look how skinny I was.  My coat actually fit me.  
There was a lot of snow and it made everything very bright when the sun was shining. 

Look,  we got chickens.  Aren't they beautiful.
They could see Wile e outside the door and they were very concerned about it. 
Is this picture good enough to convince you that I really like the chickens?
Look what Jason got for me while we were in Anchorage.  He wanted it to be a surprise but he couldn't figure out how to do it and he wanted me to have one that I liked so we picked it out together.   
It's very comfortable.  So nice.

I couldn't get her to look at the camera.

Moose, Daddy Long Legs, and Chicken Coop

We had these moose on our yard.  It was a mama moose and her young bull moose.

Mom moose.
Young bull moose.

The bull moose.  
I found these chaps in our bath tub.   We find at least one or two of these in a bathroom a week.  They are to gross and are three to four inches across.  
I gave them a nice shower. (Rebekah aren't you glad you don't have to deal with these things.)
Where's Wile e? 
Building the chicken coop.
