Last day at work, 4 days 'til baby

It's just incredible how quickly the time has flown by! I'm sure it has a lot to do with how easy it has been to be pregnant. I had very little morning sickness. I felt fabulous, no majors pains or that sort of thing. I had heartburn, and in the past few weeks my hips have felt like they're going to pop off, but that's not even THAT bad. Yes, I had gestational diabetes, so I couldn't gorge myself on krispy kremes and other treats, but that's probably why I only gained 29.5 pounds, spot on for...

Speachless Knitter

About a year or more ago, I started teaching ladies in my office to knit. We started with a plain old basic wash cloth. We've made hats and most recently a felted bag. Most have branched off on their own projects and what used to be one day a week lunch lesson is more of a nice little knitting group. It's been fabulous to watch them learn to knit and learn to LOVE to knit. Plus it's been great...

Let's just say I'm glad I won't be watching it happen!

The birth that is!We watched some seriously graphic births in our first birth class Monday night. Damn...all that streeeettttching!? Holy crap. Looks pretty painful! I'm just glad I won't be watching my poor patootie going through that. Feeling it is one thing...I think if I had to see it happen the pain would be 100 times worse!In all honesty, I'm actually looking forward to the birth. I'm excited. I can't wait for the experience. I know....I'm sick.And how was my weekend? This is how...

What's that you ask?Well, it's a rubber band of course! One that's obviously snapped!But why in the world would you be taking it's picture you ask?Well, it's visual proof that my belly is probably too big for the pants I'm wearing!You see, I was using the above pictured rubber band to hold the top of my pants together, since they are pre-pregnancy pants, and I cannot actually zipper them or button...

Project updates

Well, both big projects are moving along nicely. Both are about 2/3 of the way completed and I'm feeling really good about the progress being made.Of course the first of the big projects is the baby blanket. If you can see, I've started on the second yellow patch, and once I finish that it's the last bit of green and we're done! It's really looking nice. It's so soft and lovely. This baby is...

Squish, bump, kick....

Just a few weeks ago I actually started to feel this little guy moving around. It was very subtle at first, and I have to say completely strange. Over the past few weeks it's gotten a lot less subtle, until this weekend. I was sitting on the couch with Nate, knitting a little on my blanket (which I hadn't touched in weeks) when "pow!" (picture that in comic book style) the little booger belts me but good! A jumped, looked at Nate and then laughed a bit. I moment later "bam!", again with the...
