From the porch

The house we live in has good mana, as they say in Hawaii.

Here are some belly pictuers...since everybody asks me for them. Just over half way, at 20 weeks and a few days. The baby has been very active this last week and kicked me pretty hard a few times yesterday! Though I look pretty big, as of my last doctor's appointment three weeks ago I hadn't gained any weight, but there has definitely been some redistribution! I have another doctor's appointment on Monday, I doubt I'll get the same news this time!

With the awesome light-up knitting needles I got for Christmas, I made my first sweater, albeit for a baby. No pattern, just rectangles. I am very proud of myself and can't wait to start another one. Maybe I'll make the arms a little shorter on the next one! Live and learn.
