termites, quilts, and babies

Well, just one quilt and one baby, but potentially many thousands of termites.

Gary and I discovered bits of brown dust in our bedroom this week, and after some web searches determined that we might have termites. Ugh! I've got someone coming out next week to do an inspection. It makes me sick just thinking about it. Best case is that we don't have termites. Worst case is our house gets tented. In between is some sort of spot treatment for the wall. I don't know how any of the treatments work, but I'll find out next week.

On to better news! I went to the doctor today and everything is looking good. Our baby's heartbeat is strong, my vitals are good, and I'm allowed to take Benedryl for the lingering remains of my cold.

And, I bought a quilt this afternoon. Gary and I bid on one at a silent auction last year, but were outbid in the end. This one is quite a bit smaller, but I think big enough to look good hanging on the wall somewhere. I have toyed with the possibility of learning to quilt myself, but after going through my (growing) yarn stash last month I realized that I don't need another fiber hobby just yet. This is a much saner approach.
