Still waiting... per Mom's advice, I'm working on a project that I don't care if I finish. I rather hope I don't have time to finish it. I'm attempting to knit baby hats- ultimately one blue, one pink- but since I feel like Small is a boy, I started with blue. This picture is of my fifth attempt at the hat... on my seventh, I finally finished it. I worked it according to the pattern and even attempted to elongate it a bit at the end when I realized it was going to turn out rather small... but sadly, though the final product is very cute, unless Small's head is about the size of an apple, it probably won't fit. So I've had to start my eighth attempt... maybe this one will turn out right! Or maybe Small will come before I finish. As you can see by the picture, I am running out of things to wear! Posted by Picasa

Here we are June 10, celebrating our anniversary... 4 years together! Posted by Picasa



We had an ultrasound today to see how big Small is- he (she?) is measuring around 7 pounds, 6 ounces and everything seems to be good. After Joy (the ultrasound tech) got the pictures she needed, we had some more fun with the 3D mode on the machine. Here are some of my favorite pictures of Small- getting downright chubby in there. You can't see it in the 3D pictures, but Joy said that little Small has hair now! Posted by Picasa

Here I am, waiting patiently (or not so patiently) for Small to make his (her?) appearance! We were 38 weeks on Monday and this picture was taken last night after I finished an 8-hour shift at work. They say the baby can come anytime in the next couple weeks- every morning I tell Small that today is a great day to greet the world! So far, he (she?) has not listened (a grand beginning to a lifelong habit, I'm sure :)) But one day, I'm told, Small will indeed be born whether he (she) likes it or not!

I'm starting to feel like a walking marshmallow! Yes, those are my ankles! I somehow have a vague memory of my thighs once being about that thick around! I won't miss all this extra fluid I'm storing up for some unknown reason. No one had better suggest support stockings... I get enough of that from Dr. Brad! :) Posted by Picasa
