Ok, don't wait until three weeks before the baby is due to start working on the quilt and don't pick the most complicated pattern. It took a couple of days to get 1/16th of the quilt done, and I think I'm going to just leave it for later when i have a lot of time. It's not like this child has a shortage of blankets. We're waiting for the phone call that tells us we have to get in the car and make the seven hour drive to hopefully get to the hospital before the baby is born. Being a Labor and Delivery nurse, I would really like to be there, but it may not be possible and I'm sure that they can do this without me. It's not like I will be wearing my nurse hat.....I'll just be wearing my grandma hat. Wish us luck.....
