SSYC has received a new shipment from Koigu, which includes over a dozen more colors of the KPPPM (Koigu Painter's Palette Premium Merino) multicolored fingering weight yarn. You can see everything here, and the new ones are listed next to the pictures as arriving in Feb.
Below are three of my favorite colors from this new shipment- perhaps one of them will become sock for my Blooming Feet pal.... decisions, decisions. The colors are P113, P514, and P429
I had a doc appt last week for my 5 month check up. And Joe and I learned that the baby is a boy! Knowing that makes the impending parenthood seem a lot more real. The ultrasound tech had a hard time getting pics of the little guy b/c he wouldn't stop moving. Mom seems to think that he's taking after her and already likes to dance. The tech asked me if I was able to feel all the movement yet, and I haven't felt a thing! I mean, I feel little aches and pains in that area, which I'm told are normal especially for a first pregnancy, but I don't feel movement yet. Since he's only about the size of a dollar bill, I guess I'll let him grow a little more before I expect to feel him kicking me. I'm sure in a few months I'll just want him to stop kicking me.
A boy!!! How wonderful!!! I love my little guy so much!!! Although at 20 months, he's not so little anymore. Enjoy the next 4 months!!

How exciting to know what you are having. I always wanted to know with mine, I know some people like the surprise, I like to be able to plan ahead and get things ready. Don't worry you will be feeling him move soon. I really missed that after mine were born. Love all the new sock yarns, I may have to break my yarn diet really soon.

A boy! Congratulations! And an active boy at that. OTOH, what boys aren't?
Pretty yarns! I'm FINALLY knitting up that gorgeous pink & brown yarn you sent me. Monika at Smoking Hot Needles as a mitered sock that it should show it off fabulously.

My guess is that you have felt him move--don't think big kick or elbow jab just yet--think what your hand would feel like if you were dragging it in the water while you were floating in a canoe or inner tube and moving your hand against the current ever so slightly. Congratulations and start knitting up a storm for the lucky guy.

All your new yarns are looking so tempting!
About the kicking-I felt exactly like you did-like it wasn't for real. My son was supposedly quite active, too, but I could never feel him kicking. Then again, when you don't know what it feels like, it is harder to know!
Congratulations-boys are so much fun!
