I was going to be mad...
I ordered my Autumn Rose kit from Two Swans on the 6th. I never heard anything, and I called and e-mailed on friday. So FINALLY today I got an e-mail letting me know they/she had been out of town, and she would get my order together ASAP and then later today I got an update e-mail letting me know my order had changed to "shipped" status. No trackng info but hey it was free shipping. SHEW. I was geting anxious. I want to swatch! I'm not in the mood to finish anything, I'm too lazy to do the last sleeve on tulip and too lazy to do the sleeves on the paper chromatic cardi. Silly isn't it? I would feel so good if I finished them both but I am un-motivated.
So today I was talking to my mom on the phone and she was like "What are you doing for your wedding anniversery", "I dunno, working on making a baby I guess". Then suddenly I realized why she asked, my wedding anniversery is in 2 days!! CRAP!! I nearly forgot my own anniversery!! Classic pixie... it's why no one in my family takes offense when on occasion I forget their birthdays. Of course my husband had no idea either. We are two of a kind!
As I never like to blog without photos, here one of the dogs, they often sleep this way and sometimes with their butts up against one another, this is why we got a King size bed. Spoiled. Rotten.
Oh and in baby news as I know I don't really write about it much, I am now officially full term, at 37 weeks. Baby is pressing on a nerve in my back so I have gotten to experience my first true discomfort with this pregnancy with a nice chronic pain in my middle/upper back. Baby is getting big! I think baby's are around 6lbs at this point. The thing I am most excited about???? I scheduled next friday to be my last day at work. In college I never took a summer break, and I have worked from 15 years old on. I am thrilled to just simply not go to work for a while. My old boss made fun of how excited I was about it, but man I am truley and really excited about getting a true break. I have worked there for 6 years this October, I think every company should give their employee's an automatic 1 month sabatical every 5 years. I think it would make a huge difference in performance. People get burnt out. I don't want to be a jaded corporate employee. I am thrilled about the break!
Also did I mention I got Mollie Maid? They have come twice now and it's sooooo cool! They come again this wednesday, I am a happy girl! Oh and my new favorite hobby, to listen to BBC Internaitonal on XM Radio, but I'll talk about that more another day.

Hey Pixie--
I was wondering where you were! Remember everything they tell you about the new baby...rest when baby rests, knit when baby is distracted with the toys, put your knitting into lidded tubs ***everytime*** its not in your hands, babies eat every 2 hours not 4, and yes they do eventually sleep thru the night...then they become teenagers and learn how to sneak out during the night (just joking, that's what rose bushes are for). But beware when they turn two...they love to hear the sound of hooks and needles going down the heating shaft. I used to loose more crochet hooks that way.
Keep us posted...and happy anniversary to you and hubby!

Congrats and Happy Anniversary! And being pregnant made me very forgetful...so don't fret about it. I found since my son was sideways in my room that some yoga stretches like the cat helped with the constant pressure. But check with your ob first. I can also put you on my Reiki list if you want. :)

Sorry you are feeling a lot of discomfort. At least you don't have too much longer to go!! How exciting! I am just a week and a half behind you!
Happy Anniversary!

Wow 37 weeks - any day now! Except that the next few weeks may feel like forever. The huge sock sounds very "interesting." I am off to my work office today (I actually get summers off which I realize is extrordinarily wonderful) to work on my "web site" such as it is (which is not anything yet).

Congrats on making it full term! Hope the back pain goes away, I know how much it sucks.

You're almost there, that's exciting!
And, if it makes you feel better, I'm still waiting on my Autumn Rose order, too....
Kelie says;
I'm so excited for you Pixie! The birth of my sons were two of the best things that ever happened to me. I didn't have an easy time being pregnant but it sure made it worth it when I was holding the most perfect thing ever in my arms. They are now 5 yrs and 22 months and I get that excited feeling for other moms when they are about to have their own little piece of heaven.
Christine says;
