Yarns, sausages, and shifting gears
Yes! An update! I can hardly believe it myself. And yarns too! In fact, there's 11 yarns and 3 MHKs -- above are a few of my favorites, check those halos, and the nifty way I've got them arranged, all small and organized. All this and I can nurse a baby that's a fiend for the boob. And she is, you know, a fiend for it. I've got porn star nipples and jimmy dean areolas, those of you that've nursed know what I mean, right? Thankfully both diminish after time, but for now, wowsa, look out, I can poke an eye and feed ya breakfast.
Life's been the strangest lately, the busiest unbusy I've ever been. The exhaustion has finally worn off though, and that's like new life. And my friends, who know that internet pals could be so sweet? First, the comments, heck, I should have a baby every entry, my highest number evah! And no padding that baby either, it's like I'm the harlot, or Eunny for a single entry. I didn't know that many people read my blog. Not only the comments -- but mail too! Cards and gifts, homemade blankets, knitted baby items, yarn, etc. Wow. Really overwhelming. Truly.
She's doing wonderfully, btw. Four weeks and if feels like forever (in a good way, like I can't imagine a time without her). Here's a pic from a few days ago, check that rocker hand! She has my hands -- perfect little replicas, down to the crooked pinkie. I read that this week she's supposed to start making sounds, you know, baby sounds other than crying, like finding her voice. I suppose she has, it's just adorable, lovely really, Bill and I both agree that it sounds closest to shifting gears without the use of a clutch. Like music to a mother's ears.

Posted by: Minnie at March 18, 2007 01:24 AMShe is too cute. Glad to hear the exhaustion is wearing off ... and the recovery from the c? I have to make a decision one way or the other in a few weeks and would be very interesting in bending your ear by email or at the next spinner's group (BTW, I still have that wool for you!)
The yarns are gorgeous too. :)

Posted by: harpdawg at March 20, 2007 12:24 PMShe's just BEAUTIFUL! Glad to hear things are going well - a nursing infant AND yarn - you're amazing!
Her rocker hand reminds me of pics of my little girl when she was born - her first "formal" pics in the hospital - in one of them, she was flipping us off - so charming! At 3, she still likes to point at things with her middle finger!
