Knitting and quilting

After a blip of a broken camera I can finally take pictures again.  I've finally finished work properly which feels very, very weird.  I was exhausted by the time I finished and glad of the break but I'm now in some sort of baby limbo - just waiting!

What would I do without my birth ball?

I've realised I'm not one of life's patient people!  It's not been helped by the fact that Cole arrived at 36 weeks after my waters breaking a week previously.  So everyone, including me, has been expecting me to go into labour on the early side (although I was relieved to get to the magic 37 weeks of 'term'.)

But now I'm almost 39 weeks which feels about 2 weeks overdue! Although I'm trying to keep busy there's only so much cleaning and waddling around I can do.  Plus I'd give anything for a comfortable sleep - you know, without waking every hour to haul myself onto my other side or go to the loo!  But I'm not really moaning - (yeah, I know I'm doing a good impression of it!) How can I be really after the journey it took us to get here - I just can't wait to meet our baby!

So there has been much knitting going on - and I'm really proud of this one because I've always shied away from fairisle before - too complex, too many things that could go wrong, too much swearing!  But I really enjoyed doing this and I think it rocks! 

I've also done a roll about, kick your legs quilt so that our new little lady has somewhere to stretch out.  I love the combination of the colours and patterns and my edging skills are definitely improving - this one's practically neat!

Ok, finally a shot of my rapidly growing baby belly - no more bump envy for me, I've got a whopper of my own!

  
Enjoy your Sunday

Hey everything from the sweater to the belly looks great! Hang in there, do we get to see a few pics of you in labor? Tasteful of course, just sweaty and excited, waist up.

I was wondering if you had your little girl yet or not. I keep waiting to hear the good news. If I'm like this, I can't imagine how impatient you must feel. It won't be too much longer now though. Good luck!

I love the little quilt and sweater you made her. They are so sweet!
