Sock Bug

I haven't been on for a few days, mainly as I had the hospital appointment whereby they were all set to induce me if there wasn't enough fluid around the baby. Thankfully, there was enough to sink the Titanic so I get to go to term - unless of course baby has other ideas. The very thought of inducement makes me cringe, I know the last few weeks of this pregnancy have felt never ending and I've said enough times, 'I wish it were all over now and she was out' but would rather it be in babies time and not by some pushy doctor. So I've been warned to rest a bit and keep my feet up as much as possible as am beginning to swell up now. Had to remove all my rings and have what my sister terms as 'Cankles' where my calves and ankles combine... can't wait for that part to be over with.

So I managed to sit down for a while and get some knitting done over the past few days. As I had promised Ben a pair of socks, thought that would be the easiest way forward and if I got annoyed or bored with them could easily just put them aside and get on with something else. As it was they were just so easy to knit up, it was the sewing of the seams afterwards that aggravated me a bit. But presented him this morning with his new socks and for the first four hours of this morning he wore them religiously. Gushing about how great they were and how comfortable. Of course he's only going to use them as slipper socks as they are so thick and cosy.
