oops I've been MIA

First up, pregnancy....
Things were going well, Smidge was growing and doing everything he was meant to be when he was meant to be, until....
31 weeks...what a damn hard week! I lost my "show" ( yeah sorry TMI ) and then I noticed at night as I was dropping off to sleep and while I was asleep ( was waking me up) that my body is trying to push this baby out already! Smidge has been 4/5ths engaged since then and Dr thinks I will be delivering early :S I am now on bed rest....try that with 6 kids around and a man that thinks being out of the house or on the computer is helping me!!
Bed rest sux......

On the knitting front......
have made so many baby things that I really cant remember what! I have now moved on to socks....I looove hand knit socks....
I am on my 2nd pair now ( not counting the dozen or so baby/kids pairs ) I am making groovy socks
They are so easy, pretty mindless knitting really lol. I am making them in trekking yarn in bright lolly coloured stripes about 1/2" (?) wide, because of the pattern used they come out in these cool ( groovy) waves as I knit, looks much better than witchypoo stripes lol. After I finish these I have to try and decide which pattern to use for the oh so pretty Katsara yarn I bought...I only have about 6 million patterns to go thru to choose from too....oh dear :S Apparently it knits up in "zigzaggy stripes" in "pale shades of lilac,yellow,blossom-pink, mint and lime-ade" it really is a gorgeous colourway but its not on her website ( I bought it from ebay)
I will be borrowing a camera from my Parents later today so I will try get a pretty pic for you all. and maybe a few of wip's and fo's .

Hey Amanda, hope everything is going better. These little ones have a mind of their own even before they're underfoot. :-) Take it easy. Hope hubby helps. Good luck.
