I made a babies sleeping bag on monday, out of an old cotton table cloth and some Liberty print fabric. Its slightly padded and has a fold over bit at the bottom so you can open it up {which is a bit wonky I know}. The pocket is made from a scrap of Japanese print cloth.

I hope that it fits the babe, or the babe fits it! I didn't use a pattern foolishly so I'll have to wait and see.

So I'm pretty much there for preparations for the kiddo...still have a month and a half to go, so I guess I'll be twiddling by thumbs for a bit now.

My belly is huge and daily life is very odd with a big bump...not much else to report concerning preggo stuff. I have met up with a few local ladies who are all due around the same time as me, which was lovely. Also been reading lots of books and enjoying foot rubs every day {husbondo has bought me an electric foot massager so he's officially been made redundant of that job}. I have had a serious craving for nectarines, I can get through three in 60 seconds easy.

its our two year anniversary next week so we decided to do nice things this weekend.

on Saturday we went down to Richmond park in our fiat, armed with a picnic.

we found a nice secluded pond to have our lunch and a nap. this pond turned out to be the 'dog pond'

we were surrounded by wet, drooling, barking dogs chasing each other.

still it was rather amusing.
