Quilt #5 is under way.  I had actually planned to do this quilt a year ago, last December, but then I got pregnant, and I wasn’t really up for it.  A year later, here we are.  I’ve lost some enthusiasm for the project, but I’m enjoying cutting the pieces for applique at the moment.  Here’s a picture of the intended finished product:

It’ll be well past Christmas by the time I finish it.  

Yesterday, my birthday, was very rough.  We had basically no sleep the night before.  I have only called on J in the middle of the night a very few times since L’s birth – probably less than 5, if even that many times.  The night before last was one of those times.  I finally gave him L at about 4 am.  We had to get up a few hours later for a morning doctor’s appointment with her.  The verdict was “just” a cold, but that afternoon she projectile vomited and spiked a fever of 101.  Thank God Tylenol was very effective and she felt much better today.  It was kind of a horrible birthday, but it is just so great that she’s feeling better today.  There is really nothing worse than worrying about your sick child.  It’s exhausting and anxiety-inducing.

Poor little munchkin.  She is still congested.  I can’t wait for our family to be healthy again.
