29 Weeks

11 more weeks until the little one arrives, unless she is early or late ;) I was actually 29 weeks on Tuesday, but was lazy all week since Sunday and didn't take my picture...So here is my picture - after 12 hours of fasting...so I was a little hungry.

I had my 3 Hour Gestational Diabetes test this morning...Here is the run down.

• 9:30pm last night: Started Fasting
• 8:30am this morning: Had the appointment....Got my first vial of blood drawn
• 8:30 - 8:33: Drank the Lovely, Lovely Orange Drink (Can you hear the sarcasm?). It was 10 oz of 100grams of sugar, tasted like Cough Syrup....Not so great, especially on an empty stomach.
• 8:33-9:33: Sat in the office and felt sick to my stomach and waited for the next draw
• 9:33: Got my 2nd of 4 blood draws. She bruised me, luckily it's not too bad.
• 10:33: 3rd Blood Draw, she couldn't find a vein in my right arm, so we had to go to the room and use the blood pressure cuff and finally she got it.
• 11:33: Last and final blood draw, she found the vein again in my right arm, only a little bruise but at least I was done.

Finally got out of there so I could go get some lunch. Treated myself to Chipotle, to get some protein in me since I had way way too many carbs in the morning with the drink and headed home to go back to work. I don't know the results, wish I would but I will have to wait until tomorrow. If I don't hear anything from them by 2, I am going to call them to get the results - can you tell I am not patient?


Below is an updated picture of Peanut's Blanket.I still have a full 3 rows left to do, I am currently getting those made up to sew on and then I have to sew the boarder around the entire thing. The three rows will be to right of the Green & Yellow row. If I for some reason don't finish it before she comes it's big enough for her to use right away or even when she get's older, but I would like to finish it up.

My First Project for Peanut

I have been wanting to start this for awhile, but was a little hesitant. So I decided today was the day, I am almost 10 weeks and it's going to take me awhile and if I want to do any hats or socks or anything I need to get this finished so I can do those as well...

This is a pretty easy pattern, which is always good, because I don't do well with switching colors and stuff. With this one they tell you how many blocks of each other that you will need and then you just lay them out and sew them together. Seems pretty easy, it's just like making wash clothes. So Mike and I went to the craft shop today and picked out the four colors (Berry, Lake, Lime & Maize) which are sort of like the ones that are shown in the picture. I didn't worsted weight Cotton instead of Wool. I just don't like wool, even though most of it's soft, I really like Cotton-ease by Lion Brand. I made a scarf out of it a few years ago and I really like how it feels and its machine washable. I have 2 1/2 squares done already..going to have to stop blogging to get the rest of them started and only about 60 squares to go :) So hopefully I can knit them all the same width and I don't change my gauge too much. They always tell you to check your gauge, but for me that never matters (especially for blankets), because it really depends on my mood. If I am not stressed out my knitting is a lot looser. so I am just checking the blocks before I bind off and so far that's working.
