Thank you so much! I guess the problem is I know where the imperfections are :lol:


As long as you don't tell, they don't exist! :wink:

Never thought of it that way!

Yay! Yes, and I as well am on bedrest. :( I'm hoping they wont make me carry to term... at my 29 week ultrasound she weighed 4lbs 3 oz... My mother informed me that babies gain a 1/2lb to a pound a week for the last 8 weeks! EEEK!

Now has Aunty Izy got to keep her eye on your blood pressure too??? lol!!

My eldest son only weight 4lb 6oz at birth, he was a month early mind!!

Just noticed your name...do you have a Spanish connection. It means look at the sea in Spanish..(I think :roll: ) :D

That's why I'm on bedrest, I'm at a really high risk for preeclampsia. BP hasn't been bad yet, but headaches, seeing spots, reeeeeeaaallly swollen, the whole bit. But no protein in the urine yet so we're cool on that. :)

I don't have a spanish connection per se, my uncle teaches portugese and spanish at Cal State Fullterton and they go to Brazil a lot. I went, and absolutely loved it, and heard someone say mire el mar thought it was beautiful. I think it means either look at the sea, or eye of the sea. Not totally sure :)

Yes it definitely means 'look at the sea' it's using the imperative tense (mire as opposed to mira), we are just learning that in class this week... if I remembered it right that is - and of course it might just be spelt like that in Portugese lol!!

You take care of yourself, at least Live2teach and yourself can chat to all of us here to stop the boredom abit :D

you did a great job on your first quilt. Your daughter is going to love it for many years to come. Take care of yourself and let us know when she arrives.

It's beautiful--so perfect for a little girl. :D

That is a wonderful quilt. It's great that she will be able to use it alot. My youngest DD has the quilt my mother made for my oldest DD and still sleeps with it. She will love it forever.
