First, our yurt really feels like a house these days. We're getting so close to living in there full-time... being about ready to have a baby sure does help projects get done! Here's the kitchen...
The loo (tub is to the left of the sink there, but it's filled with birth supplies, and not hooked up at the moment... neither is the sink for that matter)...
The hearth...
Bedroom...
Dining room, and the entry way.
Pretty fantastic, huh?
It's amazing how many things have popped in the natural world these last few weeks too!
This was me at 37 weeks- we finally hit our due window! Now, our baby can be born safely at home whenever it chooses to come...
Britty came to visit!
And the hooties have re-appeared... this time in the form of the cuteness on the left for our baby, and the cuteness on the right for DJ and Kathy's baby Mia. Jon and I made them the other week... I'm not sure this project encouraged absolute fondness for the sewing machine, but he did an awesome job!
I also found myself inspired by Chelsea's handiwork to make these for Mia... I wonder if they'll fit her when she arrives sometime in late June/ early July?
My overwhelm at the greenhouse effect inside the yurt due to the awesome dome window inspired a sewing project. We rigged up this fancy octagonal window shade that can be opened and closed from the floor of the yurt by pulling a series of ropes through eye bolts. It's pretty cool! Jon was the master installer, of course. We're calling it the jellyfish.
These ladies have shown up all over the place in the fields and forests here! They're one of my favorite signs of spring... (the pink lady's slipper orchid, for those of you that don't know her.)
We had a pre-baby bash at our house in the hopes that we might see a few friends before we disappear for a little while into "Aaah! We just had a baby! Wait, what just happened? How do we... uhmmm?"
Isla is getting so big these days. She's almost 2 1/2!
We most recently have been enjoying walking down to the gazebo on the Eastern Promenade to watch the fog roll in...
I've been drinking lots of tea...
And working on continuing the manifestation that the baby stays head down for birth! We had a worried spell there for a bit, but I think we're good now. Jon and I successfully turned the baby on Monday morning (doing a manual version in our bed in the yurt), and I'm working hard at maintaining postures and positions that the baby seems to like.
We're getting closer every day... our due date is this Sunday. When will the bambino arrive, we wonder?
