Well, I've come to 31 weeks pregnant! If it wasn't for an extended bout of single parenting I'd probably be managing the pregnancy quite well too. I'm exhausted - what with the kidlets, the dragon in my belly, keeping up with my nesting instinct, and the bits of work I manage to get in there. Oh, and the quilting.
At this point I am trying to clean up the house because it is becoming evident that the basement won't be done before baby arrives. That means this dragon will need a home. I predict a basket on the dining room table, just like the girls. So I'm cleaning up piles of crap and organizing things to find just a bit of empty space for breathing room.
I'm also gathering. Books and things for the girls to keep them busy during those long hours of nursing at the beginning. A stack of projects to plug away on in any free moments. The cell numbers of our neighbourhood friends when I need a playdate or school pick-up. Just the basics.
And I, we, are planning for the arrival of Sunday Morning Quilts too. We've heard that advance copies are on their way to us, but we've yet to see them. The book itself should be shipping to stores and pre-orders in March at some point.
That leads me to a little bet we've got going on. Which will come first - the book or the baby?
You see, both the girls were born at 37 weeks. That's only 6 weeks from now, right around St. Patrick's Day. As opposed to my due date, on Easter weekend.
I thought I would let you all in on our bet. So, leave a comment below with your best guess on book and baby arrival. Pick a date for both. For example, Baby - March 15 and Book March 20.
Obviously, the baby's arrival will be confirmed by me. As to the book's arrival, I will go with the first date I hear of someone getting their book(s). This can be an individual or a store. Be honest, now.
The winner will be the person closest on both accounts. I'll put together a little prize. Depending on how well the baby is doing it may or may not include the baby. (Kidding.) I've also got a poll going in the sidebar, just for fun.
May the best person win. Oh wait, I'm pretty sure that gets to be me. May the next best person win.

I love hearing about the busyness of your days. Since my youngest went to college I kinda miss the hustle and bustle of kids in the house. My first two were born early and with my third I was totally confident he'd be early too. Sooo ... when I went close to the actual due date I felt like I was pregant 10 months.
I'm picking April 6th for the baby date and March 10th for the book date. Good Luck!!
I'm gonna say March 17 for the baby (wear green!) and March 23 for the book.
Oh, I remember those exhausting days. Take care and try to carve out a few minutes for you each day! I'm guessing April 3 for the baby and March 11 for the book. ~Jeanne

Baby-April 1st
Book-March 27
Best of luck to you in the days/weeks ahead with everything!! Nothing like having 2 joyous occasions occuring about the same time!
If the baby really is going to be kept in the dining room, you'll have to change your header picture to include the baby :).

Baby-March 18th.
Book-march 19th.
It'll be an exciting couple of days :)
Book: March 16th
Baby: March 20th

Cheryl,
I wish you good luck and I think the books comes first at march 12 and you will give birh to your baby at april 4.
Good luck with it all, sounds like there's a lot to do before either event arrives! I would guess that the book will arrive March 17, and the baby March 31. Can't wait for updates!
I'll say ~
Book - March 11
Baby - April 5.
Hoping all goes beautifully with both!
My first two were born at 38 weeks, I was convinced the third would be earlier knowing he was also bigger, he came at exactly 39 weeks.
Book - March 12, Baby - April 1 :)
I say March 18 for baby (which happens to be my due date) and March 26 for the book.
I'm going to guess the same day for both--March 31. :-)
Book March 5
Baby March 19
Good Luck with Both!

Cheryl
Baby - April 1st(my son's birthday)
Book - March 15 (the ides of March)
April 8th for your little one and I think the book with be the March 18th.
My little one was a whole week late- he wanted to be born in another month than was predicted and he cought it by just one hour!
March 23 for the book - with the baby born on March 31 (my brother's b'day)
Best Wishes for an easy few week's until the baby is born.
My twins were born March 21st and it's the first day of spring (usually) - so that's my vote for both book and baby!
I believe the book will be received on April 18th but your precious bay will be born on March 26.
Congratulations and wish you a happy, healthy rest of your pregnancy!
March 16th for both!
Good luck and best wishes!

I slept in a drawer on the dining room table for months.
Baby first.
Do you know whether it is boy or girl?
The Baby: March 13th
The Book: March 17th
:)
Congrats on both by the way! :D
Book: March 15
Baby: March 27
Good luck!
i'm not going to put my name in the hat officially, for obvious reasons...but i am guessing that the book comes first. :)
hope you are feeling ok!
book--March 1st baby March 17 :)
Good luck on both
March 15th for the baby. April 5th for the book. Congratulations on both!
Baby, then book.
I'm going to guess a Saint Paddy's Day baby (3/17) and the book the following Monday (3/19).
However it turns out, I think March is going to be very lucky for you!
It looks like I was wrong about the book. Amazon says I should have it in hand on March 8th!
