I think I might be in it for the buttons. :)
You know, I'm starting to wonder if I got into knitting, and then got pregnant, just for the excuse to buy the cutest buttons ever. (KIDDING!!!!) I mean, look at the close-up of the little sheepy buttons for this "Harvey" baby kimono from Natural Knits for Babies and Moms by Louisa Harding, borrowed from the K-W Knitters' Guild library. (As always, Rav details here for those interested in the tech side of things.) It's hard for me not to go "SQUEE!!" every time I look at them! Purchased at Romni Wools after a lovely breakfast and yarn shopping visit with LinzKnits while on vacation at the beginning of the month. I actually finished this sweater earlier, in the car on the way to the June Knitty Yarn Roundtable with 3 other (blogless) knitting friends, but the buttons I had for it were, well, uninspiring. But then I found these little guys -- perfect!
In pregnancy news, I am continuing to do very well. Can't believe I've had no morning sickness, just the occasional gag reflex at things (bad smells, certain textures of food) that gross me out. I am starting to show a bit, although I am still fitting (if barely, in some cases) into my regular clothes. Yesterday was exciting; I had my monthly checkup (17 weeks) and it was the first time the doc was able to pick up the heartbeat on doppler. I tell ya, seeing the heart beating on ultrasound is pretty darned wonderful, but hearing it is something else already. SO exciting!!
Sorry the blog's been a bit neglected... been really busy this month. Nesting instinct is definitely starting to kick in: we've been cleaning and decluttering like mad. Feels great! At some point I will need to start blogging about some of the changes around the house, but not today -- gotta go get ready for work! Have a great day!
