What's New

Hi guys.

Well, what's new.  Let me think.  I am five weeks tomorrow from my due date, so I'm getting larger and more uncomfortable all of the time.  I have trouble sitting upright for long periods, because the baby has decided to put it's feet and knee into my rib cage.  Ouch!  I see why it becomes so easy to want to deliver, as you can hardly move around anymore.

I have also decided that since I don't know what this child is, I am not going to be knitting much for it until after it is born.  I don't like the unisex colors I find besides like white or cream and you can only knit so much white stuff for a newborn.  I did finish the bolero from one skein in cream, so that's nice, and I made small pair of booties.  I think I will just wait now.  I have almost finished knitting a baby afghan based on the stupid dishcloth pattern, and I am crocheting one too, which is a little over halfway done.  Tonight is knitting night with the girls, so I am hoping to finish my blanket and work on my crocheted one as well.  I am also making a Sheldon the Turtle from Knitty.  He's on his way too.  Too many UFO's right now, including this person growing inside of me.

No work on the baby's room yet.  We finally got to move back upstairs into our bedroom this week, so no more sleeping on the floor.  That was becoming a big challenge.  It's drywalled, painted, and my closet should be done in the next week so I can put all of my clothes away.  That will be so nice.  We were tearing up the carpet and found beautiful hardwood floors up there, that really  needed nothing done, not only did it save us money, but an argument over the carpet.  I am going to find a remnant to put berber in the baby's room and down the stairs.  We are getting a new window put  in the baby's room next week, so I am truly excited about that.  I think today I will go to my parents and work on the quilt for the baby's room.  It's been really rainy here, so I can't do too much outside.

Anyway, hope you are all doing well.
