Homestretch knitting… one more baby hat before labor day

The room which I will call a nursery is done.  Now I just have to make it look like one. I’m so excited, I have not had a “nursery” for about 13 years!!  Today will be full of building, painting and organizing.

Yesterday, my midwife came over and we laughed as she checked on the baby and we discussed everything going on right now…a baby very soon, a bridal shower for my daughter on Saturday (here at my house), my parents coming to stay on Friday and a wedding in a few weeks.

I am working all the time trying to get everything done before all the balls in the air fall down one by one.  When I lay down in bed to rest my hands are still itching to do something so I started one last project for the baby, a long tailed baby hat for his pictures.  I never knew what to do with sock yarn until I learned to knit and this yarn self stripes which I had never used before either.  I could not find a pattern that was free so I have been knitting it my way and keeping notes in case it comes out well and any of you want to make one.

I am still hoping to be pregnant for another week though I should have 2 more to go.  I don’t want to jinx myself but I am free to go on the 3rd because the shower is the 1st and Alex has her engagement photographs on the 2nd.  Then I am “allowed” to go into labor but if nothing happens by the 8th I have to lay in bed and cross my fingers because that day is her bachelorette party and she has prohibited me from going into labor hee hee.  I feel like a ticking time bomb with dates.

Hoping to spend some down time today visiting all the wonderful knitters and crocheters over at Small Things and maybe add a few more lines to my little ones hat….but for now, its back to work.  Oh and don’t forget to come back tomorrow for Stash Bash, I would love to see what you have made this week!!
