It is so weird. I’ve been checking out this site regularly, which is a weekly pregnancy calendar with ultrasound pictures. It’s so much more interesting than the monthly updates in the famous pregnancy book that I referred to with my other three pregnancies. Every week, I get to see a picture, and read about the changes happening in the baby right now. Well, I missed last week, so yesterday I read about my week and couldn’t believe it. The baby has suddenly jumped to 3 1/2 inches long. What? It’s been a half inch, to an inch last I looked. The crazy thing is that Ilsa, my white lionhead goldfish is 3 1/2 inches long, so all I can picture is a fishbowl in my abdomen, and a wiggly little goldfish. It’s kind of weirding me out. Nate says not to worry, in a week or so, the baby will be the size of Veronica’s goldfish named “Goldfish”, and then some time after that, it’ll be the size of our big, 10 inchers, Alexander, Lucius, and Jane.

That isn’t very comforting.

I’ve been pretty sick, so I’ve been in bed since about Wednesday, and knitting quite a bit. I have most of a Flower Basket Shawl done,

and I’ve sewn the shoulders together on Abby’s Harry Potter Sweater.

I followed Jessica’s brilliant suggestion and did the neck before blocking, but I still have a flat piece of sweater to block. Of course, I have about a zillion ends to weave in before I can block it, but we’ll get to those.
