I still don’t have a name. Some new ones we are considering are Cullen, Carson, Griffin, and My Husband’s Favorite Maximilian. Problem with that one is my Best Friend just had a baby a few months ago, and named him Maxwell. 2 max’s is just a little too copy cat for me, so I nixed it. I just feel bad cause Tim really really liked it. So the hunt continues. I am not sure on any of them yet, though I have kicked the names Calvin, Calin, and Eldon from the list… I swear this one is going down to the on sight thing. Ugh. I think I am pretty set on Brennan for the Middle name.
On the knitting front, I am almost done with the Cardigan for my nephew. I should finish the sleeve tonight, and start seaming and sewing it up tomorrow. A few I-cords and buttons an I should have it ready for delivery on Friday. I can’t wait to share the pics. I just think it is beautiful. Next up I will start on my girasole in Worsted weight.
I am determined to make this operation more of a spa experience, so I don’t dread it so much. Cause right now I am pretty scared, in an unreasonable nonsense kind of way. So I have decided I want a pedicure, and pretty red toes. A manicure to make my hands prettier. Nice big sunglasses to avoid the light sensitivity and the ugly drugged look. A pretty girasole blanket to snuggle with the baby under. My own hospital gown, cause theirs are ugly (my choice pictured below). a nice knit baby blanket, and matching hat to swaddle him home in. I bring my own ipod for music, kindle for reading, and games for playing. Knowing how long I will be stuck there is at least something. And the recovery time. Forewarned is forearmed. Hopefully this will make for better baby pictures, and help me to feel better, help make it less dreadfull. At least the prize I get at the end is good. (:
