ah, back from the holidays. i kept meaning to post and then never had time...
nothing much is new, i'm uber-rotund these days, i think my ankles are fatter than usual, and i feel like there is a squirrel bouncing around in my belly 24/7. she's really active, and not very subtle about it! matt finally got to feel a few kicks the other night... it was cute. she pummeled his hand almost as soon as i put it on my belly.
i've been productive, though! over the break me and lauren knitted a little birdy mobile from start to finish, and the next night i knitted a stuffed cat toy too. it was much easier than i imagined it would be, so i'm pretty inspired to make more toys now. i have a baby shower to attend in february for which i am planning to knit a little caterpillar plush toy.

the mobile:
awww. i love it. i'll take a pic of the kitty and post it later too.
we still don't have a name--i plan to have a decision on that over the weekend if not sooner. i need to think of her with a name as the last trimester approaches swiftly...
oh and i experimented with 'birth art' because i'm reading this awesome book (birthing from within) and the author is all gung-ho about birth art... i drew a big picture of "labor" and learned a few things about myself after analyzing it. the book rocks, so i look forward to more creative outlets and new ways of thinking about birth and pregnancy. woot.
