Picot in Pink- Baby Hat

by Alison on October 28, 2006

    One more thing I accomplished this week- a wee little baby hat design in Blue Sky Alpacas' Melange in Cotton Candy.  I've been wanting to play with a cute picot cast on for a while and this was the perfect opportunity.  If this baby is a girl, this simple little hat will get plenty [...]

Nesting Progress- part 3

by Alison on October 28, 2006

    Wow, the days keep slipping by… I've gotten a few more baby clothes washed- I've just been throwing in an outfit or two with every load of laundry, we've got plenty of each kind (boy and girl) ready to go, enough to get through several days once we get home from the hospital.  I've [...]

Pregnancy News- 38 Weeks (almost)

by Alison on October 26, 2006

    Just got back from another midwife appointment, and I feel much better now.  Baby seems to have grown some, heartbeat sounded fine, and after a slow morning we got lots of movement after lunch.  So everything looks okay, it just seems to be a bit smaller than all of my other babies.  Well, perhaps [...]

Touching Base- Thursday Already

by Alison on October 26, 2006

     Wow, time flies when you're stressed out and busy.  I never got anything written for a “Monday, Monday…” post, didn't get a chance to catch up on Tuesday, missed my “Wednesday Hymn” time, and now here it is, Thursday.  It's been a long, but incredibly fast, week.     We had orchestra, as usual, on [...]

Pregnancy News- 37 Weeks

by Alison on October 20, 2006

    Well, my usual midwife wanted to see me this Thursday, as she is not on call and could spend a little more time with me than my last visit… unfortunately, she was booked up.  So instead I went in today to see the other midwife at our clinic, who happens to be the one [...]

Musical Nights

by Alison on October 19, 2006

    My dear husband has been working extra hard (and extra hours) lately trying to get his business off the ground.  It's growing slowly, and it seems as though there is a lot of potential on the horizon, if we can all just hang in there and work together to push through…  (any prayers to [...]

Nesting Progress- part 1

by Alison on October 19, 2006

    Well, I dunno how much cleaning out that spice cabinet had to do with nesting.   I think it was part of a grander decluttering plan/vision that I've had for a long time.  It comes in spurts- and I guess impending birth and approaching soup parties all coming at that time of year when [...]
