Busting out all over
Posted on 03 March 2008
I wasn’t quite sure when I’d write this post. The miscarriage I had in October has made me jumpy, more secretive, more nervous that maybe this time when I go to the doctor, something will be wrong. But, my friends, the time has come to fess up. Because I got the cutest gift in the known universe this weekend, from the lovely and wonderful Sarah.
(I have a hard time knitting for babies not yet born, but I’m so glad others don’t share my neurosis.)
So! I’m in the middle of my 16th week, finally past the 24-hour nausea. Able to knit again. Sitting in the living room, in fact, enjoying the sunshine and turning the heel on my Conwy sock while Jacob reads his book. (“I do it all by myself, Mommy.”) Although Jacob is as enthusiastic-sounding about our upcoming change as he is about everything, I’m pretty sure he has no idea what will be happening some months from now.
What’s it like for me, this time around? Well, I’ll tell you one thing. The stomach muscles pretty much just rolled over and played dead starting the second I found out. I’m in my beloved Gap jeans a full two months earlier than with Jacob, this time.
Wish me luck at my doctor’s appointment next week, okay?

yay! congratulations! you look beautiful. i’m sending lots of positive thoughts in your direction!
OH, congratulations!! Yay yay yay for your expanding family :)
Congratulations! I wish I had knitted more for this baby that I am about to have but I decided that my poor neglected Mister deserved to have some projects completed for him too. Those are the cutest little booties!
Yay! We’re both out! You look great! You had me worried, though, because I’m three weeks behind you but my belly is further behind. I was about to run to the fridge and stuff down as much as I could before you mentioned that it was because this was your second baby – thank god! I still have belly envy, but at least I’m not hysterical from fear that weeks of nausea have left the baby undernourished. You are cute as a button, and only “busting out” in the tummy direction (and really not that much there, either). Those booties are insanely cute. Love them.
Wow! It’s only been 2 weeks since I last saw you… and you definitely have popped! You look great! :)
I feel so Shamu-ish right now, it’s not even funny!
Those booties? I wanna eat them, they are sooo adorable!
Hope to see you @ Peet’s tonight! :)

Hahaha, isn’t that the truth about the stomach muscles… and mine never did remember from whence they came.
CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU!!!
Wonderful news; I’m so happy for you! Glad to know that’s the real reason behind not wanting to knit yourself a sweater right now. :)
CONGRATULATIONS!! So glad to hear of your good news. I’ll be keeping you in my thoughts and prayers for good news at your dr’s appointment and throughout your pregnancy.

I am only reading your blog for some weeks now, but have to congratulate you on the news! Have a great & healthy pregnancy and enjoy this as much as you can.
Congratulations, and all the best at the doctors’! You look absolutely radiant!

Good luck and HUGE congratulations! I’m so happy for you. I’d been wondering if this post would be coming soon. Yay! So sorry you had the non-stop nausea. Mine didn’t go away until week 16, either. You look amazingly beautiful.
Amy that is fabulous news! YEAH! I’m so happy for you! I hope that the next 24 weeks can be simply wonderful for you. HUGS!
Congratulations! I wish you the best (and more cute booties)!
Good luck!
In your post and the FO shots on the alligator scarf it struck me you seem to have genuine respect for Jacob and his interests in his own activities – whether or not you had an FO to photograph. I closed the post thinking “He’s a lucky boy – I bet she’s a great mom!”
Many congratulations on your wonderful news!
Congratulations! I am so happy for you and wish you and your family all the best!
Congratulations, Amy! I hope all continues to go well!
Congratulations! That is great news. I think Jacob is going to be such a cute and good big brother.
Good Luck with your appointment next week.
Oh! Good luck and congratulations!
