subsiding
Thank you. So, so much. You gave me just what I needed :: words filled with beauty and kindness and encouragement. I have read through the comments from my last post many times over the past few weeks and each time I am reminded of the beauty in creating a tiny little life within me and all that it means to become a mother. I can't even begin to tell you how much your words have meant to me. I am going to type this next part with my fingers crossed, just in case. The sickness is subsiding. I still feel overwhelmingly nauseated most of the time, but I can keep food down, which is amazing. The sickness has been replaced with backache and exhaustion and a few other unpleasant symptoms, but I can deal with those. Even if they make me a little frustrated every now + then. And you know what? I can knit again. I can even go into Glasgow and shop for yarn at John Lewis {I was stunned to discover that a department store actually had a yarn section, and that it was stocked with Rowan in a couple of really beautiful colors}. I can walk along the ocean front in the rain. And I have cravings. Nothing is more delicious to me than clementines. Or beans on toast. Or ice cream with pieces of honeycomb candy in it. Can you tell I'm absolutely loving my new-found freedom?
on the needles and causing me havoc, but so incredibly cute :: baby cardigan from classic babies
So glad your sickness has subsided! Your cravings are cracking me up........gotta love them!
Darling sweater.

Love the cardi - it's gorgeous. I remember the backache all to well (it turned out to be sciatica caused by the way Ben was lying in his little house) - but it's a small price to pay for a healthy, happy baby.

I tried sending something Ali, but it got sent back to me and said no such address. Any ideas?
