Fuzzy stitching and other pics

So, I thought I would share a pic of my progress on the summer dragon I am stitching on Jenna’s RR. For some reason, I cannot get good pictures of these dragons until they are finished. Oh well, at least you can see I really am stitching:). The colors are so pretty in this one, but until I add some more of the lighter greens it is hard to tell from a distance I have done anything.

Unfortunatly I won’t have any time tomorrow to work on this. The morning will be set aside for grocery shopping and chores. Then in the afternoon, I have a shopping date with my mom (it is finally time to start looking for some maternity pants) and afterwards we are going to see Celtic Woman at Wolf Trap. Should be a fun afternoon.

And here are a few other pictures for your viewing pleasure. A few weeks ago Allen and I bought some really pretty plants for the planter at the base of our front steps. Here they are…I really love the colors.

And last but not least…a very unhappy Cooper. Allen has Cooper “trained” very well and Allen can do a whole heck of a lot to him before he gets upset. The other day, Allen learned that bundling Cooper in a blanket was not one of these things. It started off well, but then Cooper wriggled and his head popped out of the covers. It was quite an amusing sight. He looks very confused!

PS-No kitties were hurt in the making of this photo:) Cooper immediatly curled back up next to Allen purring. He is a strange breed of kitty.

Our Little One

**Okay, this post was originally written a while ago, but I have only just gotten the stupid pic to resize and upload right. Thanks, Allen!! Allen also wants credit for making me blog tonight. As he was such a sweet hubby and made our third anniversary so wonderful this week, I will oblige him:)*

So here is a picture of the newest member of our little family. Seeing other women’s ultrasounds, I could never tell what anything was in the image. Amazingly, when it is your own, everything becomes much clearer:)

So far, all looks good. Baby already bears a strong resemblance to Allen in the nasal area:)

I have started having little chats with Cooper and Zoe about the impending change to their lives. I am a little concerned about how they are going to react. Cooper will either become the babies greatest protector or he will eat it. With Zoe, I am worried she will pee on the baby as that her solution for anything that smells funny:) I think Cooper is beginning to sense that a change is on the horizon. He has always been Allen’s little boy, but the last few weeks he has been much cuddlier with me. He sits on the back of the couch and instead of completely ignoring me, he looks knowingly at me and whispers a meow. The other day he also spent a few minutes rubbing his head on my belly. We shall see what happens come the end of November. One thing is for sure, we will be getting a crib tent. Otherwise Cooper will be spending all his time in the crib….he likes to sleep in crib like places.

I am also sleeping a lot better than I was month ago. I actually have a little more energy when I get home from work. I am now 16 weeks pregnant. A lot of people tell me they think I am having a boy, but we will have to wait a few more weeks to find out for sure. Allen and I are definitly having a much easier time thinking of potential names for a boy. We can’t come up with a girls name for the life of us.

Over the last week, I have been more into stitching again and I am looking forward to cranking out Jenna’s summer dragon for our RR this weekend.
