ROADTRIP!!!!

Georgia:  Perinatal Center Nurse’s line, Georgia speaking
Me:  Hi Georgia, this is Kristi Garcia, I have a question….
Georgia:  Hi Kristi!  What’s your question?
Me (regressing to a teenage-like voice as if ready to ask my mom if I can borrow her car to go to a party where there will be boys):  Um, uh, can I, um, [...]

Lots of Excitement

Meet the latest addition to my arsenal, Mr. Robutussin DM.  Apparently the hacking cough from the initial terbutaline medication was supposed to go away awhile ago but mine decided to join in the bedrest fun.  There have been some dips on the contraction wagon resulting in having to add some extra doses to lower the [...]

The Big Unveil!

Still deciding which is worse – this terb pump or an entire garter stitch throw….it’s head to head…Are you sitting?……..(fade in sound of a drum roll followed by trumpets)….

Otis can hardly believe it’s finished either – he just stares in absolute amazement – or it could be his surprise to see me standing erect for the first [...]

Hola! Soy Preggers!, Meet me in the Hamptons, Getting Pumped, and other Bedrest Adventures

I want to thank everyone for all the thoughtful comments, vibes, and offers for yarn pick-up – plain and simply, KNITTERS ROCK!!!
Pics on this post will be thumbnail size due to the number of pics, my inability to figure this photo thing out, and the jittery jumpies (details to follow).  You can click to enlarge them.
I’d [...]

The Glamorous Side of Pregnancy and Knitter Down

Apparently house arrest couldn’t rehabilitate this offender and my parole status has been upgraded to bed rest with a home monitoring device.  I failed my fetal fiber nectin test today which is an indicator of pre-term labor – translation – steroid shots today and tomorrow to aid in lung maturity and a nurse coming to the [...]

I’m like a Highlights magazine

Do you remember perusing those Highlights magazines in your dentist office at your last visit when you were a kid?  There would be a picture of a giant tree and you had to find a toothbrush and a hairbrush hidden in it?  Here’s my contribution to their editors:
Find the Socks in this Picture!

See them?  Yeah, [...]

Special Delivery

Bear with me as I still try to work out the kinks in uploading and sizing pics to posts – I like to do my own thing and not rely on silly things like instructions and tutorials – I’m not beaten yet. 
My delivery room socks are complete!!!!! 

And here they are using fancy smancy geeky graphic [...]

I’m Soaring!!!!!

 

 

I’m a hard sell if something isn’t broken but Cat drives a hard bargain with her argument and I had to give her the benefit of the doubt. 
I’M SOLD!!!!  I just casted on, completed a ribbed 6 inch cuff, heel flap and turn, gusset, and a few decrease rounds of my first soaring sock all [...]

I will hug her, I will love her, I will feed her and I will call her Jeanette

I’m a big Bugs fan and this was one of my favorite episodes.

In fact, when I rescued a cat for my parents I would recite this to it and my parents actually kept the name George when they adopted her.  But this George is a Jeanette and is my final stuffed critter installment for the Day [...]

A Meme Virgin

So, I’ve been blogging for awhile now and just realized something…I’m a meme virgin!  I have never been the tagger, tagee, or even had the desire to want to meme.  I figure I need to do it at least once (boy has that statement got me into a little trouble in the past!) and house [...]
