Wow, Class of 2005 you are gorgeous
Hi. We’re all sick here. Have been for weeks now. No exaggeration. First the stomach flu (which I escaped) and now various forms of upper respiratory infections/viruses. Rob’s got it the worst – pneumonia. Anyone want a poor sick toddler? Poor baby hasn’t been to daycare in almost two weeks. Enough about that though, if I talk about it too much I just cry.
We are officially in the home stretch of pregnancy. Whew! This has been a relatively easy one (as was my trip with Ms. S). Aside from the toddler wrangling and the unemployment (Rob’s still without work) and the lightheadedness it was/is a breeze. My midwife helped me to feel the head and identify all of the body parts of the little Mister last week. That was super cool. For example – right now I have an ass in my ribs. Somehow, when you know what it is it is so much less annoying. I’ll be at 34 weeks Saturday. Sophia was delivered at 37 weeks, so there is a chance this pregnancy will go the same route. We still have a wall to put up in our house (creating a bedroom), furniture to buy, and all the infant stuff to put together oh, and there is still that small problem of a name! But I am not panicking. We were TOTALLY unprepared for Sophia (our first outing post-birth was to T-get to buy a changing pad!) and everything turned out fine.
The real reason why I am here is to congratulate the Knitting Blog Class of 2005. Knitsings put together this is a really cool summary of how things have changed and who is still where/when/how. When I scroll through that list I realize how many of those authors have impacted my life in a considerable way. How many I call friends and how lucky I am to be a part of this community. How glad I am that I joined it when I did (September 2004), when it was still small and somewhat penetrable. Gone are the days where we would all hunker down in Claudia’s living room. The community is just too big, in a good way though – there are some amazing people out there. And, I for one, am super glad that we are what we are.
While I do not blog as much as I used to I do still knit, quite a bit actually. I miss writing but my life is pretty much out of control right now and I have to let go a bit in certain places – this is one of them. I do still read all of you. It’s my respite, my calm, my connection…so, thanks for keeping on!
ps- Thanks to Cara for pointing out the post. Mwah.
