Feeling sick!

I haven't felt great this last week. I seem to get so sick to my stomach. I haven't gotten physically sick yet, but sometimes it feels like it might be better if I did! I am taking my vitamin right before I go to bed at night. That seems to help a little bit. I go to see the doctor tomorrow. Maybe she will have some more suggestions for me.

Lane and I are also traveling to San Antonio tomorrow. My brother is flying in today to do some job interview/testing stuff. If he is accepted, he will have to be here to start training in Mid may. So that'll be exciting to have him a bit closer!

I have been knitting my palindrome hat. I have another inch and half and I can start the decrease. Maybe I'll be able to get that done today! I'm trying to get all the laundry done so that we can get packed and Mikie will have plenty of clean clothes for the week!

Ahh so much to do!

ER visit!

Last night I had a lot of pains in my left side. I was really uncomfortable and Mikie said it might be best to go and get it checked out. So I said, alright. If I wasn't pregnant I never would of gone b/c I'm used to these pains with my endometriosis.

So we packed lane a small bag with some jammies, his puppy dog and his blanket and dropped him off at mamaw's and papaw's. Mikie and I headed to Marshall to the ER.

I got lucky because there was no on in the waiting room. I hadn't even finished signing papers and they were calling me back to the room. She took all my vitals and put me in an OB room to await the doctor.

I got to do one of those great pee tests. They also took a lot of blood, did a pelvic exam and then sent me for sonograms.

The baby is in the uterus and we got to see the little round "sac" area where the baby will form. Too early to see a baby of course, but it was still kind of neat. We found the right ovary and then went searching for the left. She searched and searched...and searched some more. I was in a lot of pain as she did this, but understood it had to be done. After about 20 minutes or so she said well I just can't find it.

So we left it at that. All my blood work, pee test and such came back fine. The pelvic exam didn't show anything. So they said everything "baby" wise looks to be in the right place, so no ectopic pregnancy. I just needed to call my doctor in the morning and let them know.

So we got home around 10:30 last night. I didn't sleep worth a flip b/c my allergies/sinuses are all backed up. But I feel a bit better today, despite all the precedures that were done!

What a week!

This week has been so busy! We found out early this week that I was pregnant. I also had my 26th birthday on Thursday and my MIL turned 50 on Friday! What a week!

I received the "Dreamy Blues" baby blanket on Thursday. I was able to get it knitted up and plan to mail it out on Tuesday to the next knitter. The blanket will be so beautiful and I'm sure the family that gets it will enjoy it as much as I did!

I started knitting some really cute baby booties today. I am knitting them in yellow since it'll be a while before we can tell the sex of the baby. I'm just excited and can't wait to start knitting baby items! I'll take a picture once I am finished!

I've been really tired lately. Not much on the morning sicknes side. Like with Lane, I seem to get the nausea around dinner time. Probably that's when I cook and the smells bother me! I also find if I let myself get too hungry, that makes me feel sick too. Little snacks along the way. My goal is to NOT gain 52 lbs with this baby. It's going to be a long, hot summer though!

Ok I'm off to bed. We ate dinner with Mikie's mom for her birthday at Posadoes in Longview. It was excellent. Now I'm stuffed and ready for bed!

We are having another baby!

Well we found out today we are going to have another baby. We are due around October 19th (my sister's birthday). We are very excited. Lane is a bit confused though. We tried to explain to him that he was going to bea big brother like Calliou (pbs show) and now he thinks he's going to have a litter sister named Rosie. Ahhh 3 year olds. Exciting :)

So we are 4w1d along. It's just the beginning. So time to finish up a few projects and start some baby ones!

Started a sock!

Since I finished up the combo corset-t, I decided to start another smaller project. I casted on a sock. I'm using my colinette jitterbug yarn. I thinkt he color is laguna (blue's and greens). I using size 3 DPN's. My son lost my pattern earlier this week but someone took pity on me on the KH boards and was kind enough to type it out and send a PM to me with it! Ahh I love those boards.

So that's what I've been working on. I'll take a picture soon. The striping is just beautiful! I love it already!

I'm hoping to still make the palindrome hat. My mom sent me the wrong size needles. So hopefully she mailed them out Monday and I hope to have them at the end of the week. I still need a really good hat!

Logcabin baby blanket!

Yesterday I sat down and knitted my part of the logcabin baby blanket. I took some pictures and I'll try to get them posted later. I used the dustry rose, which is the same yarn I used in my orginial square. It looks really pretty next to HollyP's blue. It took me about an hour and a half to knit up. It will be ready to mail on Friday!

I've been working on my knitpicks afghan. It's coming along nicely. I think it will be really pretty once it's all complete! I can't wait to snuggle up with it.

I also plan to go visit my nana today to see if she has a size E crochet cook so I can do the trim on my combo corset-T and add my buttons. Then I can be finished with my first garment, well not including the comfort shawl.

So I'm excited. Projects are coming along and I might be able to wear the corset-t once it gets a bit warmer outside! I hope it looks as nice on me as it does on the table! *giggle*

Ok or not to knit the Palindrome hat!

LOL I got all my stuff together and realized I didn't have any size 8 DPNs?! GAH> I thought I had some. I tried to cast on using my Denise's using a circular but it's just too tight to knit! I haven't learned the magic loop knitting yet. BUGGER!

Ok so this project is now on hold! It's NOT a UFO because technically it's NOT on any needles! *giggle*

It's ok. It's supposed to be 70 tomorrow!
