Overdue

I was due on March 27th. It is now march 30th. Baby Elia is already just like her mother and is late. She is content where she is and no one will rush her. Well if she is also stubborn like her mother and decides she is still not ready by Monday, we will induce labor on Tuesday. April 1st!
Josh and I have a great story for all the major events in our lives. Meeting in the Peace Corps, getting engaged as Katrina was about to hit, Josh falling out of a tree the day before our wedding, getting pregnant in Costa Rica. We were wondering what our labor story would be. Well there may be no "Honey it's time" moment but the fact that for the rest of her life, we can torture her on April Fool's day makes up for it! We wonder how many times we can pretend to forget her birthday before it gets old. Josh can't wait until she is a teenager and present her with a jalopy car. The possibilities are endless. So Elia will be here soon, whether she likes it or not.

I am amazed at how many people have asked me if I was having twins. Really, do people think before they open their mouths!!!?

So this is what I have been passing the time with. I found this paper at Target and on my due date decided to make a mobile. This led to many other little projects in our room that has been taken over by baby stuff.

Wedding flowers

A friend of ours in Josh's program got married this weekend. I did her centerpieces and some other flowers. It was a small wedding with only six tables but still a lot of work! Nine months pregnant, I must have been nuts. I really enjoyed it though. I would love to learn more and pursue doing this on a small scale. No huge weddings or events. Just small and simple like this one or doing small arrangements for a farmers market in Memphis.
