« Thanksgiving Break! It’s cloudy AGAIN! »
We’re back. « »
I haven’t yet braved the gmail inbox, thought I’d check in here and write a little update first. We had a very nice Thanksgiving-Christmas at the Japels’. All of Nate’s brothers were there, and so were the sisters in law and the nephews and niece. Good family fun! I FINALLY won a game of 31. My first win in 14 years!! (It’s a card game that an infinite number of people can play, games last for HOURS…so the one who wins is the winner of the NIGHT!) WOo!
Here’s the sweater I knit for Olin (our newest nephew):
It’s just a simple Top Down Raglan with cables on it. Woolease Chunky. Wash and wear for the baby boy!
I didn’t get photos of the hat and scarf I made, but they were both well received, I think. Alex (our oldest nephew) was still wearing the cap that I made for him about 5 years ago…so he was glad to have a replacement!
I also made Olin a couple of little toys:
These are just polar fleece, free-hand cut outs stitched and stuffed with fiber-fill (also machine wash / dry).
AND…here’s me at about 34 weeks:
B.I.G. but happy!
I’ve kind of fallen off in my blogging lately, and I was just trying to figure out why. Partly it’s just because time is going so FAST. I blink my eyes and two weeks have gone by. The other part of it is something like the preciousness of being pregnant has me feeling sort of private about it. It’s bizarre, because I usually just lay it all out there (here.) I don’t know. Maybe that’s not even “it.” I find myself just holing up with my thoughts. Doing little crafts, sewing and knitting and daydreaming.
I’ve been feeling really well, the morning sickness is down to 1 -2 mornings a week. I’m not achey, not swollen, definitely TIRED, spacey, daydreamy.
I’m looking forward tot eh baby shower (Dec. 8.) Family and friends coming together from LONG ways off (Phoenix, Denver, Omaha, Sioux City, Albuquerque) to celebrate with us. I’m frantically trying to get the house ready and make sure things are tidy and trying to stash all my projects. I kinda let myself spread out when it’s just the two of us…the whole house is the craft room.
Anyway…HELLO!

I SO wish I could come! If I didn’t have company flying in I would be there in a heartbeat!
I remember those daydreamy days of being pregnant. Do enjoy them. Not too much longer until you’ll have your little one in your arms. It is such a joy , but with a lot of hard work tossed in. You look great by the way. Glad you’re feeling great too.
I love the sweater!! It looks very cozy!
You look great for 34 weeks! Too bad you are still having the morning sickness. It sucks when it lasts the duration of the pregnancy. Luckily, though, you are nearing the end!
BTW, I know you from the message boards on ravelry (Knocked up Knitters and We’re Expecting (?)!!). I’m Peachtreeknitte.
