It’s January 29th. My grandson is due February 2nd. Now I know that it’s not even time for him to be here yet, but here’s why my daughter is so frustrated. In December, her doctors were telling her that she wasn’t going to be able to stretch much further. The 1st week in January she was told she was ready any day. It wouldn’t be long. The 2nd week she was told she was even closer and to be ready and get to the hospital quickly if she went into labor.

So I wanted anxiously by the phone. And waited. The 3rd week she was told that February 2nd still looked like a great date to expect the baby. The 4th week it was back to any day. Who knows what they’ll say Tuesday when she goes to the doctor.

The moral of the story: Never believe a baby doctor. They have no idea when the baby is coming. Only God does. But I still can’t wait to meet him. Come on Stephen Mark. Grandma is waiting with open arms.

Less than 20 days till Christmas. I’m not ready. I have all my inside decorations laying on the couch in the family room. Doesn’t look really great, but at least they’re not in the garage anymore.

Is my shopping done? Absolutely not. I have some things. But I haven’t even made the list to start marking off.

What’s my excuse? I have none really. I’ve been working on some custom crochet items, and I’ve had a bad sinus infection for a week, but mostly I’m just not motivated to do it.

Maybe tomorrow. We’ll see. But I do LOVE Christmas! After all, the season is all about the birth of Jesus and that’s something to celebrate every day!

Well – after much waiting, we now know that our grandbaby is going to be a boy! My husband and I were blessed to get to go with our daughter and her husband to watch the beautiful little baby on ultrasound day. If the baby is on time, we have less than 4 months before he arrives. I can’t wait. I’ll keep you updated!

Now – about one of my favorite shops on Etsy. You have to go visit Galla15. She makes the most wonderful rings and earrings. And she has some button necklaces that are just gorgeous! You can visit her here:  http://www.etsy.com/shop/galla15?ref=pr_shop_more

Here’s just a sample of what you can find there!

Finally – if you want to know what I’ve been up to, check out my new line of winter headbands. I think they are perfect for keeping the cold winter wind away from your ears, while being very stylish. You can find them at: http://www.etsy.com/shop/crochetedbycharlene?ref=seller_info
