Addyson Joy was born on Saturday August 29th at 5:51pm. She weighed in at 9lbs and 5.4 ounces. She is 21.5 inches tall.
A successful VBAC! Post more later. 
Still no baby. Have been having contractions since Monday night, so I am just waiting for her to make up her mind.
The stocking went great tonight on A La Mode. I sold the boyish newborn pair as well as the green tink colab I was a part of sold. All that’s left is a set of father/son hats that if they dont sell my hubby and son will adopt for paintball.

Just finished up a super cute newborn set for the stocking on Thursday evening. I knit up purewool in the Warm Ice colorway and it turned out really nice. I was even able to get a hat out of the same skein, which is always a cute addition. I also have the camo hats done and will wash and block everything tomorrow and hope to get some pics up soon as well.
Still waiting for baby. I go back to my midwife tomorrow and see how things are going, but there is always the chance that baby will come before then.
I am still here and still pregnant. 
Things are starting to happen so I am hoping maybe in the next day or 2 Miss Addyson will make her grand appearance. ((crossingfingers))
All orders have been shipped! I am working on a couple things in hopes I can stock them in the store and then I am working on getting the rest of our newborn/small stash completed for the next couple weeks. I have a few trades I am going to be working on as well. But other then that, things should be a little quiet on the knitting front while we enjoy our newest addition.
I just went and uploaded about the last months work into the Gallery so feel free to check it out
Rebecca’s longies are done and shipped out
I am about an hour or 2 away from finishing a collaboration I am working on for the store, stocking August 27th.
Still pregnant, no signs of labor thus far to speak of, so I will just keep trucking along on my to do list. 
This week so far has been rough. The service for our friend is Saturday.
Zebra Stripe is done-waiting for final approval before I block. Harvest Rainbow is blocking now.
I was able to finish one of the hats for my next stocking. I am doing a father/child camo hat set.
Currently I am working on a very special collaboration to be stocked at A La Mode on August 27th, you won’t want to miss it. I am also hoping to get a newborn set up, probably something boyish.
After I get my stocking items finished I will get to settle down and focus on getting the rest of the babies stash done. Hopefully before she gets here. I have been feeling cruddy-hot, tired, swollen, crampy, etc. I am hoping that means she will come earlier then her siblings but the thing about kids is they like to keep you on your toes. lol.
A dear dear friend and mentor passed away earlier this afternoon. He was diagnosed with lung cancer back in January and went home to Jesus and is completely healed now. However the rest of us staying here are very sad, obviously. He will be missed. I may be slightly slower on communication and am hoping baby doesn’t cause me to miss his service later this week.
I completely spaced on getting pics for Majic of the Venus longies. I will get those tomorrow and will go ahead and weigh your package so I can get a shipping quote.
Zebra Stripes are sitting with one leg done the other about 1/2 done. I am hoping to wrap that project up as well tomorrow.
Like normal, my weekend was so crazy. My husband ended up working a side job in the morning Saturday which was a wonderful blessing, but added to the craziness because he went over the time he planned and that caused the afternoon to be more crazy since we celebrated my sons 5th birthday with friends and family.
Then Sunday we had church and then went to the beach for our annual Beach Baptism day. It was lovely and very relaxing to sit near the ocean and listen to the waves. I was hoping it would put me in labor but walking in the sand over hills just hurt my back. lol
So today is back to work. I hope to have some pics of the Venus up today, they are still drying but I think they are close to being done since we are having another heat wave this week. I am also a day or so behind on the Zebra Stripes. Depending on how things go I might have them done tomorrow, but that will be providing my kids are not at each others throats. lol.
I am working my way through these items nice and quickly. I finished the Venus ones and they are waiting to be blocked. I also cast on the Zebra Stripe and am going to try and have them done over the weekend.
Considering I was gone all day celebrating my son’s 5th birthday I did make a good amount of progress. I was able to finish leg 1 on the Venus longies as well as start in on the 2nd leg. I still have about 5.5 inches and the cuff to finish up but I am hoping to get it done tomorrow.
I have my 38 week dr appt tomorrow afternoon so we will see how both me and baby are doing. And then Saturday is Zack’s Ice Cream party. Gotta love a kid that plans all his parties around a food. His 2nd was a pizza party, his 3rd was a BBQ… lol.
