I'm in full nesting mode. I have this urgent need to knit warm things for my winter baby. Hats, booties, blankets... I am building her trousseau of baby things. Wee knits that I will treasure later on when she's out grown them and they will join those of Max and be kept as family heirlooms.
While I have the energy to stay up late at night to knit I don't have the energy to do the dishes or vacuum the apartment. I believe that the end of pregnancy gets us ready for the lack of sleep that is coming the first few months of your baby's life. I'm amazed sometimes how well I function on such little sleep. But then it catches up to me like today while I was trying to play with Max and all I could do was lay on the bed while he played around me. I know this uncomfortable time is coming to an end and before I know BB will be here.
Three more weeks to go and I feel like time is standing still again. I am trying to take in the moments of each day and appreciate and be grateful for what I have. I am grateful that I can take maternity leave and devote time to the end of my pregnancy.
Edit: I've finished the purple hat this morning: http://loisivethe.com/2009/11/09/norwegian-style-hat-for-baby/
That's so tiny and adorable.

Such beautiful pieces! I really need to re-learn how to knit, these look so cozy!

I am so happy for you and your family. I love reading your blog--I can reminisce exactly what you are going through. It is amazing when you bring BB home you will know she was meant to be there completing your family.

OK I really need to get myself across town for a visit before this baby comes! (Of course I'll be coming to meet her AFTER, as well!) Let me know what days are usually good for you.

They are all such BEAUTIFUL little knitted things... Ah, how I wish I could knit! I know, I know, I should try to learn, but just the idea daunts me! It intimidates me completely. But those gorgeous little green booties and the little hats, your gorgeous patchwork blanket... They are all such lovely things for your baby girl that you have made with your own two hands. Bravo, bravo once again, Aimee!
