A lot can happen in 4 months...

I've given up my livejournal (which I had for about 8 years) due to many reasons (time, the new Russian Overlords, Drama llamas etc). I've tried very hard to use a paper journal. I've learned I've grown VERY accustomed to typing. Ahh the lost art of handwriting. Anyways, I've also learned I need to have some sort of a blog (just for fun ^-^), so here I am. On my neglected blogger blog.

A lot has happened since the last time I updated. Some good, some bad, some mixed. Really, all having it's positive points and it's negative points. Everything has made us realize how precious life is and our relationships with family (both near AND far).

Most notably, Kim and I conceived #2. We're on an exciting roller coaster of preparing for the birth of our new son/daughter. It's very exciting because everyone is expecting this year. We're also planing our first home birth, which is exciting and also a tad bit scary.

Just to add a crafty bit to this post, here's a current WIP:



This is a fishy blankie for baby #2. I'm basing it off of Millie's fish pattern and also "a recipe for fish". I like how Millie's fish run in strips, but I couldn't read the charts. I combined the best of both of them, and am really loving how they come out. I plan on knitting a lot for this baby. Since right now, I'm broke but have a ton of Stash! I'm also hoping to match one for one things for him/her and Abigail. I don't want her to feel left out.
