We haven't given up Hope....

That baby sure is giving everyone a run around. We are still waiting for news to take the trip up north. I know my poor dil has to be just fit to be tied. She is tired, swollen, and is wanting to give birth. She is now 2 days past her due date and he is still hanging on.

I finished up the baby's hooded sweater. I am including a picture of the buttons I used because I think they are so cute. This was a fast knit, but seaming was a pain because of the tiny stitches and the baby yarn. I think it turned out cute though I am not sure I can keep it until Christmas. I am afraid he might not fit into it so I am going to just take it to Indiana when we go and give it to her. He will be able to wear it this fall anyway. This was yarn I received in a yarn swap with people at the knitting site I belong to. The woman who had my name knew I had a new grandson coming and bought this yarn for me. It is Bernat Baby Softee.

We are now exactly three months until we go to Vegas. I have pretty much everything either paid for or arranged now, airline tickets bought, show tickets bought, car reserved, hotel reservation made and deposit paid for, everything else is just cash for food, souvenirs, etc that we take with us. We sure could use the vacation. This baby business has taken its toll on us old folks. Maybe if we lived closer to them it wouldn't be such an issue, but with a 600 mile drive ahead of us, it is a bit stressful.

Nothing else much going on. I haven't gotten to get into the pool once this season because I don't like leaving the phone unattended with the baby business and all. I haven't even been walking because I am not sure they would call my cell phone or Jack's for that matter if they can't get us at home. So, I guess I will just start swimming after we get back, whenever that might be. He has to come sooner or later!

Until next time, TTFN....
