A Few Sheep Shy of a Farm

while we WAIT!

Here is the baby blanket that the Monday night knitting group made for her:

Isn’t it pretty! I think she’s really going to like the bright colors and its the perfect size for using with the car seat and stroller – which since we’ll be out and about much more than when the little guy was a baby is great!

And here is the one that I recently finished out of the Suri Silk:

This is super soft and very pink – I plan to use it to bring her home in . . . but it isn’t the most washable fiber so it will be more of a special occassion blanket than an every day kinda blanket . . . but it was so soft I just couldn’t resist

And here is the 3 of us together at Easter . . . weeks ago and I’m already the size of a blimp! Now just imagine how much bigger I am at what, like 6 weeks later?

And isn’t the little guy adorable in his suit? Too bad he’s had to wear it like 4 more times since then for all the funerals we’ve gone to lately . . . but he sure is cute!

Still no sign the she’s ready to come out and play yet . . .

we saw the Dr. on Thursday and while things are moving in the right general direction there is no real progress to report. We have another Drs apt on Wednesday with another ultrasound to check her weight and fluid levels and provided she hasn’t arrived on her own before then, the Dr. plans to induce on Friday.

I’ve been sooooooo tired today. I’ve taken a couple of naps when I’ve been able but I’m having trouble even keeping my eyes open – its likely to be an early night tonight. Perhaps its a sign? Maybe my body is trying to rest up while I can?

I’ve finished the sweater and the blanket (it blocked at 37″) and I’ve cast on the hat but haven’t really worked on it yet. I’ve also started a sweater for Mimmo – a basic, top-down raglan that I’m knitting out of some Barlett Fisherman I picked up at the Shearing Day at Gore Place in Waltham recently. I’ve got the top yoke done and about 1/2 of one sleeve – at 4 st/inch it goes pretty quick . . . I’m sizing it to be large when he starts wearing it next fall with the idea it will be like an oversized wool sweatshirt next winter and should still fit him the following winter as well . . . hopefully!
