The Bun is in the Oven…And It’s Rising!

Yesterday the mother of my grandbaby came by our house. She wasn’t feeling very well, and since my house is much closer to her office than is her house, Mandy decided to come see her old mom and take a nap before heading home. She was still very dizzy when it was time to go home (even when sitting down), so I drove her home and had her dad meet me there on his way home from work so he could bring me home. We ended up taking her to a night clinic, where she was diagnosed with a severe case of vertigo (just what every pregnant woman needs).

However, before we left, I was able to snap this picture of her and Pod:


I am so excited! (Have I mentioned that before?) I changed my “first quilting” efforts from the John Deere quilt that I had started to a totally new quilt. Mandy and Jeromy seem to have a thing for owls, and the colors that they are using for their nursery have a lot of yellow, brown, blue, etc. (no pastel bunnies and bears for them!), so I found this material:


Here’s the back (it doesn’t show up in the picture as dark and chocolately as the brown material actually is):


We are about halfway to a grandbaby, so I have to hurry up and finish that quilt! I also have been thinking of “grandma” names. I have been threatening to have Pod call me “Beautiful Lady”, but Mandy says that it is way too hard to say. My mother was “Dee Dee”, and my sister’s grandkids call her “Gee Gee”. Should I continue the trend and have Pod call me “Lee Lee”? I have a distant cousin whose grandchildren call her, “Honey”, which I think is just adorable. I also have an affinity for having Pod just call me “Ma”. That’s what we all called my mother’s mother ; she was the grandmother who actually loved us. I guess Pod will call me whatever she wants – as long as she calls me!
