Is anybody out there?

It's been a crazy year. I got pregnant then dropped off the face of the blogging world. Now here I am, with a three month old, ready to get back into my knitting, learning to sew cute baby girl clothes, and blogging again.

I'll give a quick pregnancy and baby story. I was hospitalized on July 9 with pre-eclampsia. I went to a routine doctor appointment one day and was told I couldn't go back to work because I was being admitted. I went into premature labor on July 16. After 20 hours of labor and 4.5 of pushing, Baby G made her entrance into this world 6 weeks early. She spent 10 days in the NICU for jaundice and to learn to eat. Other than that, she was as healthy as a full term baby. I was on maternity leave through October 5. I loved spending every minute with out little girl and was very sad to go back to work. We're getting into a good routine now. I can't believe she's 3 months old!

Now that things are settling down and my hands aren't terribly and painfully swollen like they were when I was pregnant, I have picked up my knitting needles again. I'm still working on my blanket for her that I started in March. I also started a hat the other day since it's getting so cold. I have some pictures, but those will have to wait for now. I need to figure out how to post them again since I've forgotten.

But for now...I'm back!
