According to my baby ticker, we have 6 days until the due date... life must be nice in my belly since no one is in a hurry to get out. There is a lot of ice cream and cookies going that way, so why leave?
I decided he/she was waiting on me to finish these baby jeans before arriving. Silly since these are 6-12 month size, but maybe Georgie knows it will be challenging for me to finish anything after his/her arrival.
The pattern "Blu" comes from Knitty.com, one of my favorite knitting web mags and source for free patterns. I wanted to make these for a while, but by the time I found them Donovan was too big. This denim yarn is so cool... fades and shrinks just like real denim.
The back label is one of my 'hand knit by' labels, which I think is much cuter and sized better than the felt label or real jean label the pattern suggests. I'm not much of an embroiderer so I'm afraid to put on a pocket or any other details. I may wait to see if Georgie is a girl or boy and detail accordingly. Aren't pocket-less high waist 80s style jeans coming back for the ladies? (ie: Mom jeans... ugh)
Here's all the 'helpful' advice I've received over the weekend to get this baby out:
- Walking (check)
- Eat Mexican food (check)
- Drink red wine (check)
- Jump up and down (hmm... no)
- Yoga squats (check)
- "Do what you did to get the baby there in the first place" (no comment, this is a family blog)
- Eat spicy gumbo (have the recipe, considering it)
- Castor Oil (did that with Donovan, not doing it again)
- Eat fig newtons and drive on a bumpy road (WHAT?)
- And the best advice I've received so far.... the only thing you can do is wait for those hormones to kick in. Thank you.
