stash, knit, repeat

Fondling yarn since 2003.

Still not king.

Well, in case you’re wondering, a newborn isn’t the reason I’ve been away.

On the contrary, he seems plenty comfortable in there and I may well have to waddle like a manatee through a few more weeks.

There are worse things than a healthy-but-tardy baby, and we’ve been dealing with some of them, but I hope life will return to something vaguely resembling normalcy soon. Until then I hope you’re all well!

    wow! great photo. isn’t it amazing that you’re carrying a human being inside there! good luck! hope baby decides to come soon :)

    I’ll trade! Just shy of 36 weeks and I found out yesterday that I am 2 cm dilated. I nearly passed out cold. The baby will be fine, but I’m nervous following the dr.’s way too casual pronouncement that he would not be surprised if I had the baby next week. I’m not mentally prepared for this - two weeks early, sure, but four? I’m supposed to work another two weeks! WTF?

    I hope you aren’t too uncomfortable. I know that at this point you must be ready to pop because I’m already starting to feel like there just is not enough room in there. Keep fighting the good fight! It will all change soon!

    Love, J

  19. heather August 9th, 2008 12:35 pm

    wow. hope he wants out soon. totally, off topic, i love that jean skirt you’re wearing.

  20. Kathy August 9th, 2008 1:19 pm

    My second was very late and I looked like a tank - you look so great! Thanks for the update - ‘had been wondering how things were going!

  23. Brenda August 11th, 2008 6:06 pm

    You look great! I hope he arrives very soon, and in as pleasant a way as possible. Take care!
