All for one little girl.......
With less than 10 weeks to go, I figured it was time to start getting ready for the arrival of a little one. The doctors figure she will be here in June, with an estimated due date of June 20th. I have a stubborn daughter and she will show up when she is ready regardless of what anyone else says.
She has does have hand knit socks. One pair finished and one pair in the works with some left over Socks that Rocks medium weight. The watermelon socks are just for my sister Elizabeth. She will find it amusing.
Little one also has a purple blanket based on the Tender Blankie pattern. I have four balls of Knit Picks CotLin yarn and wanted to use them all up. So I knit six squares instead of four. The monkey thinks it is a good blanket as well.
And little one also needs a bed to sleep in for when ever she will finally be able to come home from the hospital. I am not talking about THAT right now. But she has what is called a Moses Basket here and there is a stand for it as well. I am hoping to move soon, so everything that I can possibly pack stuff into, is being packed.
She does have another blanket in the making. I am crocheting it and want to get a solid color yarn as the border. But that will probably need to wait a while longer until I feel like I have made enough progress on my paper writing for school to justify the time I will spend finishing it.
In March I went to a Velvet Revolver concert. Yes, I was 6 1/2 months pregnant when I went. I stood all the way in the back with the people who weren't there for the concert. I felt like a complete loser. But had to get a suvinor for the little girl, her first concert T-shirt. I mean, she was there and all.

Self Portrait-Absurd April
It has been a long 30 weeks for me. I have gone to every doctor appointment that has been scheduled for me. I am trying to do everything possible to take care of my little girl. I now have appointments for fetal echocardiograms. Heart problems occur in about 30% of girls with Turner's Syndrome (according to the cardiologist I saw last time). I had another one last week. Another one where I was told that there looks her aorta might be narrow, but can't really tell with any certainty. They seem pretty confident that her aortic valve is narrow, but to what degree they don't know. They are uncertain as to if she will need surgery and what kind. And they can't say anything definite really, until after she is born. So why do I have to do to these appointments? Why do I have to go through getting this news and end up in an upset mood for a couple of days afterwards? What is the point? I think it is quite absurd that I have to go to these appointments when is seems to me that there won't be anything conclusive to tell me until after she is born.

This is what you get when you let your Taiwanese kindergarten class take pictures of you at the end of the week where you have been studying Hawaii.

28 weeks 5 days....
which means there is approximately 11 weeks 2 days to go. Not that I am counting down or anything.
