Less than a week to go...

...until we find out if we are team Blue or team Pink.

14w+ still a tiny cute bump...
HOW DID THIS APPEAR
IN UNDER A FORTNIGHT?!


From my weekly pregnancy email: "You may be gaining weight rapidly at this point..." NO SHIT! Have you seen the size of me?! And I'm constantly hungry, but craving acidic foods... orange juice and pickled onions. The hell?!



Breakfast is going to be cheese and pickled onions on crackers. It's what I had as a late night snack last night, too. And lunch yesterday. I drank just under 2L of (mulled) orange juice yesterday, got another 2L on the go today. It's a litre of pure orange juice cut with a litre of no added sugar squash and whacked in the slow cooker on low/warm with the mulled spice bags. Lovely, warm, and perfect in this weather.




The cycling challenge I started earlier in the year is drawing to a close, the complication being I can't do much at a time as it causes some considerable discomfort, and then when I do have the time, there is a small boy to pick up after, laundry and dishes to do, dinner to make and hey I need to eat and sleep, too! I underestimated the time needed by about 7 months! In future I will learn to do my fundraising in a more realistic way.

I will start making more Unloveables in the new year until I have a decent amount of stock, and if there's little interest online I will see if there is a local store who will foster them prior to them finding new homes.

I've also been tasked with making a Norwegian style jumper for a friend... this is gonna be mega. I've only made baby-sized jumpers before and never made in the round... so this will be quite the accomplishment once I'm done.

In addition to that, I've blankets to make for Project Linus (limiting myself to finishing the two I've already started), and also the Minion - so my resolution for 2014 is to take on no more than I already have on my plate!

That's all for now, folks... take care.
