a few disjointed thoughts for a tuesday

I never celebrated my blog anniversary (blogversary or something.) I've been misspelling words (grammatical errors aplenty!) bitching and moaning, and torturing a few unlucky readers now for 1 year, 1 month and 11 days. wow. that's quite a commitment for me. I usually become disinterested and bored with my projects -- and there are many. this explains the unfinished handknit sweater(s) stored in my basement.

speaking of knitting. I have spent the last 2 weeks designing my own "heirloom" baby blanket. I did a couple of test gauges and finally committed to a size, color and pretty groovy pattern that I created on my own. I'm excited. it will be most challenging and unfortunately, slow-going. who knows how it will actually look in the end. I cast on 168 stitches and I figure if I knit 2 rows a night I will be done by the time little one arrives. good lord. what have I gotten myself into?

I realized I tolerated(?) 76 PIO injections with this pregnancy. that is 38 1.5" shots in each cheek. you know my ass is STILL sore from all those bloody needles.

little one is roughly 4 1/2 inches now, about the size of a grapefruit.

I've gained 10 lbs! I now weigh more than b! "the shrinking skeleton" does NOT eat at hospital -- and we all know how many hours a week he spends there. not good.

little one... I think... is a boy. I believe I saw a little something during my last u/s. b and I finally agreed to not find out the sex if at all possible. call me old fashioned (we all know I'm old.) I just love the idea of this AMAZING surprise coming in august. it's also illegal in korea to find out the sex of a baby until it is born. contrary to what b's mother thinks, we don't live in korea so that's really beside the point.

this is korean for expectant mother. pretty cool!
