a lady in my SnB inspired me to try a knifty knitter. and how Knifty it is!
she makes the neatest things on hers. dishclothes, xmas stockings, hats and purses. said it's super easy to use.
i had bought hubby a set of KK's a couple years ago when he was feeling left out by my knitting prowess. so i had him dig his looms out so i could try.
i learned to use the loom on thursday afternoon. as of now, i have 8 hats done and one more started. 8 PREEMIE CAPS IN LESS THAN 2 DAYS. THAT'S A NEW RECORD FOR ME! it beats my "6 caps in 2 weeks" record of last summer.
i've been blowing through the baby yarn stash that i forgot was in my knitting suitcase. it's amazing how many caps you can get out of a small skein of baby yarn!
i feel better now going into my church knitting group armed with a dozen hats (my goal). now i have to learn to make an afghan on the loom. that was our new project, baptismal afghans.
don't get me wrong. i AM NOT hanging up my circulars yet! still love me my needles! but you can't beat loom knitting to git r done quik!
i am quickly entering my 6 weeks. i've been feeling more nauseous lately. enough that i eat whole wheat saltines for breakfast. i haven't had any real cravings, at least nothing that i'm sending hubby out in the middle of the night for. i'm been hungry for pretzels and peppermint tho. the smell of the boy's frito's and the look of the cheeto's bag make me sick. right now hubby is making spaghetti and i wonder if i'll be able to eat it cos the smell is making me sick. i've also had a love/hate relationship with pizza - the smell makes me sick but it sounds good. i've also had a "burning feeling" in my uterus. not cramping or pain, but this burning feeling. i don't remember what happened when i was carrying the boy and i don't remember this feeling from anni last year. i'm assuming it's normal uterine growing pains. i'll find out soon on tuesday, which is our first appointment.
i can't help but think that having the multiple MCs put a pall on this pregnancy. every day i check for blood, every day i worry about what i'm ingesting, every day i worry about slipping on the ice when i walk the boy to school. i even had my first "bad" dream - i dreamt that i was bleeding but the blood was tiny little dark clots, like ink clots out of a pen. i am scared to death that something is going to happen to this baby. i am trying so hard to keep that thought out of my mind. but i can't help but feel resentful that i am going to spend the rest of this pregnancy looking over my shoulder, wondering and worrying about every little thing that's happening to me and the baby. i'm resentful that i may not be able to enjoy this pregnancy as much becos i'm afraid of what could happen, and going through the loss again.
we also got the bill for the RE visits. according to the eobs, WE are responsible for roughtly $1300 worth of charges! now, the insurance company is requesting paperwork regarding my history and/or treatment plan, so maybe that's what is holding up the payment. but if we're responsible for the charges, i'm going to be seriously pissed. first of all, i thought the charges were covered - it's not like we were getting actual procedures. secondly, i resent having to pay for an appointment(s) where i left feeling like shit becos the doctor was an asshole and the secretary was a bitch. lastly, going there didn't even HELP me. we were pregnant at the time of the appointment! i hope that doesn't hurt the payment either.
but on a good note, i stopped taking glucophage and my fasting levels in the morning dropped nearly **20** points. that means something. i think i got a bad batch of meds. hopefully my numbers will continue to stay low. i cannot risk getting gestational diabetes. my body's a wreck anyway.
