Package for Baby

 My mom mailed a package for me. but all that was in it was stuff for Baby. :) and it's amazingly beautiful stuff that will be used and cherished. The package included a handmade quilt, two books (God gave us You, and Before you were Born), and, one of my childhood dolls (LolliDolli).
The quilt, my mother told me, was made while on the sewing machine, and on the hoop by hand stitching while in the car everywhere she went for the last several months. It is very delicately detailed and marvelous. Thank you mom!
Here is a picture of the rocking chair my dear bicycling friend Deb lent me. She rocked her two babies in this!

This is a picture of the birthing tub, not set up and empty. sitting in the living room. The midwives have said it will be heart shaped until it gets water in it, when it'll go into a circle. There is a heater inside the blue liner. and I put a clear liner on the inside as well.  I've timed Pete to see how long it takes to set up. It's about twenty minutes. We haven't filled it yet... it should be two tanks worth of hot water? We could have a heated hottub in our living room... if we did... hmm....
When it's filled it will be a steady 98*. fully round and with another liner. I look forward to using it! Lucky ducky.
