A while ago I mentioned that I was pregnant, but since I haven’t said much more about it other than I’ve been working on a couple of baby sweaters, I thought maybe I’d take some time to answer some questions about my pregnancy, just so we can get it out there. I get asked the following questions just about every single day, so here goes.
1. When are you due?
Mid to late April, though I’m leaning more toward late. My actual due date is in there somewhere, but I try not to put too much stock in it. My son was a week late, so I’m expecting this little one to follow suit. Last time around, I remember getting a lot of “No baby yet!” type comments, which let me tell you, no one appreciates. So I’m already a little on the offensive about it. I apologize if I sound cranky, I don’t mean to.
2.Do you know what you’re having?
Nope. We decided not to find out this time. We’ll know when the little one is born.
3.Do you have any names picked out?
Yes, for both a boy and a girl, but we’re keeping them under wraps for just a little bit longer.
4. Cloth or Disposable?
Cloth, which will be a new adventure.
5. What hospital are you going to?
Fun story, I’m not going to one. We have an amazing free standing birthing center in our town. It’s where my son was born, and that’s the way we’re planning on doing it again. I had a great experience the first time around, and I can’t imagine doing it any other way.
Now, just for fun, what I wish people were asking me.
What are you knitting for the baby?
I’m so glad you asked!
Despite my showing you a couple of pictures of some sweaters in progress, I have only finished one project so far.
Booties!
Which I think are just about the most adorable knitwear in the world.
That other cloth you see in the background is the blanket I’m working on. It’s 2/3 of the way done, and I’m trying not to think about it. I do however, find it amusing that it is almost exactly the same shade of green as the booties, when I dyed the yarn for the booties, and the blanket is Cascade 220 superwash.
I keep unconsciously choosing lime green to include in baby projects, though I will admit being partial to the color.
Here’s a better photo of the blanket, which I love, but would possibly love more if I woke up tomorrow and it was magically finished.
