The new MagKnits magazine is up. Here’s my favorite. Although I don’t care for the colors at all, but I’ll dig out my KnitPicks catalogue and see what other color options there are.

I’m doing a little better. I wore the bracelets for most of the day yesterday. I think they helped. I took a nap in the afternoon, and was able to eat a good dinner. A yummy indian curry recipe in the Fix It and Forget It Cookbook. It has chicken, sweet potatoes, onions, orange juice, curry powder, and other seasonings. Mmmmm. I’m thinking that the crock pot is going to be the way to go this pregnancy, since most of my energy is in the morning, and once the girls get home from school, it’s all chaos and homework anyway. The only problem is that my crockpot is pretty lame. It was a wedding gift 11 years ago, and it’s a small one that doesn’t have a removable cooking pot. So washing it is no fun. Maybe I’ll get a new one.

But I’ve been saying that for 11+ years now :-).

I’m going to try to do something for my body today. I have a physical therapy appt this morning, and I would like to do a light treadmill later on.

Also, I’m starting to wonder if I’m not further along than 8 weeks. I swear I felt a good, swift kick last night, and it was just below my belly button on the left side. I can’t imagine I’m that far along, but my abdomen feels like it’s totally pushed out and it’s pretty firm in there. Another week, and I’ll know for sure. Except for the sickness, which fits with the first trimester, I’m feeling a bit further than that. I would think that by now I’ve figured out the difference between my own innards moving around (which you suddenly notice more after having carried and birthed a baby, because it is a similar feeling) and being soundly kicked. And based on other things, I suppose it’s possible that I’m 4 months or so. But, like I said, we’ll see. I’m just left to lay around and over-evaluate everything my body does.
