I can’t believe next week is Christmas.  The weeks keep flying by, and I have absolutely nothing to show for it, except an ever expanding belly.  Seriously, I’m getting huge.  This weekend we are planning on taking belly shots, and if we get some decent ones, maybe I will share.  I seem to be developing a mean case of nesting along with some knitting startitis.  I have big cleaning plans for next week when I’m off work for the holidays.  I’m still working on my Bayerische Socks and I’ve started a Cleopatra Wrap but I’m kind of aching for something small, quick, and completely satisfying.  Maybe another Stacked Eyelet Cowl is in order since I practically live in my first one.  Oh, look at this Central Park Hoodie.  It’s gorgeous, it almost makes me want to knit a sweater (by the way, I’m not that huge….yet).  I have problems with sweaters.  I don’t have the attention span to finish one, and if I do manage to finish one, I decide for one reason or another that I absolutely hate it and can never wear it.  I dunno, I’m weird.  I think I must be a process knitter.  I don’t actually end up wearing a whole lot of what I knit, with the exception of my cowl and mitts.

Anyway, that’s about it.  I’m going to go pee for what must be the billionth time today and then work on my Cleo wrap.

Wow, its been a little while since I posted. Lets see, I finished my Swallowtail Shawl and a Darkside cowl. I don’t have pictures of the Darkside cowl yet, but I have a bunch of my shawl. I’m actually not sure that I like my Darkside cowl, I think it’s the yarn/pattern combo that is bugging me. Oh well, you win some, you lose some. My shawl is awesome though. It was a beast to photograph because the yarn is so dark, and I was trying to take pictures at night. But Mike helped me and we got some good ones. Oh, and blocking while you are pregnant is really uncomfortable, just an FYI.

My Thanksgiving was nice. I woke up sick (a cold…again) on Thanksgiving day, and stayed sick until Sunday. But I still had a nice time and lots of yummy food. This past week was crazy busy. We had work, two maternity classes, and our company Christmas party. I’m getting really excited about the baby, I know I don’t talk about it much (on my blog) but I’m getting excited. We registered for baby stuff, we’ve started our maternity classes, and I’m getting huge. February is going to be here in no time. I’m actually a little bit nervous about it, but I think that’s normal.

My Masdevallia infracta self combusted. It seemed to be doing fine, and then one day all the leaves started falling off. They didn’t turn brown or anything, they just fell off. In a matter of days, all the leaves were gone. Thanks to the help of everyone at the Orchid Board, I figured out that the problem was overwatering, or rather that the moss it was planted in was old and holding too much water. So, lesson learned, and hopefully I won’t repeat that mistake.

Anyway, that’s about it.
