Slowing down.....

crochet blanket, originally uploaded by Jetta's Nest.

I'm feeling very slow at the moment. I'm not physically very good at this pregnancy gig and seem to develop lots of the uncomfortable side effects along the way including mild gestational diabetes (this is my 3rd time!), swollen hands and feet, back ache, insomnia, indigestion, etc.

I've always wished I could be one of those women who seem to glide through pregnancy glowing and moving with ease by alas the only thing I seem to do with ease lately is sit on my ever spreading butt!

There's only a few weeks left to go and little Xanadu has caught up in growth really well measuring in the 40th percentile at my last scan. I can't believe she'll be here soon and I can't wait to hold her in my arms instead of in my belly...she's getting heavy (well not compared to my last 10 pounder but still!)

Anyways...whilst sitting on my butt every night in front of the telly (I swear I've never watched so much TV in all my days) I've been working on this delicious blanket for my little surprise no.3. I got the pattern over at my favourite crochet inspiration blog, Attic 24 (she makes me want to fill my home with rainbow crochet!).

Oh and by the way...I'm still working on channelling my inner Fonz but my inner Hulk ('don't make me angry, you wouldn't like me when I'm angry') keeps pushing him out of the way. Thankfully I haven't turned green nor shredded any clothes yet and in all seriousness I'm feeling much calmer and more relaxed than I have in ages....still hate fart jokes though which isn't a great trait when you have two little boys!
