A baby, a baby! Dee had preeclampsia, so they induced labor yesterday at around 11, and 7 hours later, a new nephew for me. Congratulations to my brother & family! I hope we will get to see them this weekend; from what I understand, everyone is doing well. I've nearly finished the baby outfit, just need to complete the crotch flap & add buttons, though it's far too big for a newborn anyway. He's only 5 lbs 6oz, apparently, which is 6 oz bigger than I was at birth. Wow.
We've been surprisingly social this week, which is part of why it took me so long to finish my knitting. Last night we had dinner at Wendy's house (I nannied for her kids one winter & occasionally babysit) to hang out with her & the kids & her new husband. The night before Kris came over and we made fritatta and watched the 3rd (new) Star Wars movie, which neither of us had yet seen, being disappointed by the 2nd. Both nights I made fresh bread (it's a good recipe, if anyone is interested, very easy) and salad from the garden.
I've got a lot to do today though, need to finish painting the shed walls so it can be put back up soon. We managed to move the pieces enough yesterday to put up the screen door, so finally we will be fly-free on nice afternoons!
R got called to work on a wildfire in Cali a few days ago, but reluctantly turned it down, this being our last weekend to do anything this summer. As usual we have far too much to do in not enough time in Portland, and so many people we want to see. I need to talk to people tonight!
