And I'm back again...with news!

I’ve once again taken a hiatus from my blog. I’ve had a lot of things happen to me from the time of my last posting until now, but my biggest news is, I’m going to be a mommy! Did you read that right? I’m going to be someone’s mother.

Obviously, I’m beyond excited. Now that we’re past the first trimester, I feel like I’m really getting used to the idea and feeling less stressed out about something going wrong. It looks like baby is here to stay!

This morning I was browsing a message board I frequent, where someone posted a picture of an adorable baby bear hat from a posting on Etsy. Since I love to knit and crochet, I decided to find my own pattern so I could recreate the hat myself.

It was during my search that stumbled upon THESE, the most adorable booties of all time:

Pattern for sale by Mon Petit Violon

Needless to say, I will be heading out to buy the materials for this project today. I've been itching to create something for baby, and this project is perfect, considering he or she will arrive in January. I'll post a picture of them when I finish.

Back to Reality

I think it has finally hit me that the holidays, our Mexico trip, and my birthday are all over. For a while there, it seemed like as soon as one thing ended, there was another one to look forward to in just a week or two.

Even though we had an amazing trip and good holiday/birthday season, I have to admit that I am actually happy that things are just back to normal for now. The normalcy is what makes all of the fun stuff so worth it…and then when you’ve had fun, you are ready to get back into the routine.

It’s still winter and probably will be for some time, but for now, I am looking forward to a few things…getting my new laptop (my old one bit the dust!), spring (even though it seem a long ways away), and starting to try again for our “Baby C,” which might make 2011 quite an interesting year!

Snow Day!

The best days off are the ones you are not expecting!

Even though there was horrible weather predicted for today, I really did not count on having the day off, mainly because my company was not going to make the decision until 6:30 am today. So I dutifully went to sleep early last night and forced myself to pretend it was like any other night, even though the weather was looking pretty insane!

I set my alarm for the normal time and got up to check my email...CLOSED! I went back to bed immediately, though I didn't really sleep in all that late.

So far I've done some knitting and baking...and have watched a lot of weather coverage. It has been a great day so far.

Stay safe and warm!
