all the shades of purple and a baby

i continue to be the weakest link but today i was the weakest link who also walks with a limp. somehow the bruise on my knee knows more shades of purple than i knew existed.

bruise aka pain

can you say ouch?!?! i am especially amazed at this weird stripe right in the middle of it, that one has a different shading. how i managed to do that? i have no clue.

oh, there’s baby news at work! four months after the last birth we have the next preggo (no, it’s not me and no i did not see it coming). i though that colleague just gained some weight. ok, she gained it around her belly but i thought it’s a little too high for being a baby belly. apparently she just managed to dress well enough to look “food-fat” instead of baby fat.

it was her time to move today and when i walked in her new office she was sitting on a chair with her legs up on the table and looked all pale. she said her blood pressure was down and she did not feel good. we stuffed her with sugar water and i gave her some of the pretzel sticks i have at my desk to ease my cravings. and because we were alone in the room i asked her if she was feeling so down because of the move or if there is another reason and then she just spilled the news. yay! i am so so happy for her.

guess i have another baby blanket to make.

    Your chance to be nesting again ;)
    Have fun with your blanket! =)

    And wow, your bruise doesn’t look good. But actually, I would like to trade it with you. I got more than 25 mosquito bites on my legs and feet, some on my ass and some on my arms. =/
