Guacamole!
I'm still bummed that my numb hand is preventing me from knitting at this point in my pregnancy, but luckily I have some talented friends to cover me (or to cover Bacon) in this area. I should have posted these pics a loooong time ago, because I received them all (except the socks) at our baby shower in November...but better late than never. The blue blanket was knit by my childhood friend's mom, and the colorful blanket was made by Dave's Ciocia Pat. The adorable and lusciously soft alpaca sweater is from the guru herself, and so are the socks (but those are for me!) And of course Bacon has the knit dinos made by Claudine, which I did get to show you a few months ago.
These pics kind of show my huge belly -- and they are also a before and after of my new haircut. Don't I look so Katie Holmes in the second shot? I'm feeling really well and just kind of waiting right now. I'm due Jan. 18, so that's just 2 weeks away. According to our dr's visit today, there is some progress in the effacement area, but that's about it. I'm very content right now, not in any rush to have the baby but very very excited to know that his arrival is imminent. I'm on maternity leave and am still surprisingly mobile and active, going out and doing errands and such rather than sitting around the house all the time. Although I do my fair share of movie watching and chilling -- nesting, reading, and trying to cook a bunch of meals to freeze so we don't have to eat take out every
night after the baby is born. If we were still in NYC, take out would be a most welcome option, but the restaurants out here don't deliver and it gets COLD. We've had snow on the ground since early December -- maybe it will melt next week when the temperatures get into the 50's, but I'm not holding my breath. I like the snow, but then again at this point I'm absolved from any shoveling duties and Dave scrapes the ice off my car every morning before work -- so my take on the weather is a bit skewed by my lack of responsibility for dealing with its side effects.

Looking good! We'll be sending you a box of goodies soon from South Bend. Let us know when the baby arrives.
You look wonderful, I cannot wait to see the little guy. Keep us posted and Happy New Year.
You're looking great, sorry your hand is still troubling you, but really happy to see that you're doing well in every other area :)
Hi! Been wondering how you were doing so thought I would check out here before I emailed directly. So close!!!! I can hardly wait for the email saying Bacon is done (ha ha) and here- and those precious first pictures-
Hang in there- so sorry to hear about your hand. Is it pregnany-induced carpal tunnel or just numbness? Hope it resolves quickly after birth-
Love,

Your looking great! Love the new haircut. I have to get mine cut soon , it's starting to drive me nuts. Sorry you haven't been able to knit much for Bacon, but I'm sure you'll make up for it once he's out of the toddler stage. :o) We miss you in South Bend. Sandy
This is my first time i visit here. I found so many entertaining stuff in your blog, especially its discussion. From the tons of comments on your articles, I guess I am not the only one having all the enjoyment here! Keep up the good work.
