An Announcement

That sounds a bit formal, doesn't it? I just couldn't decide on a good post title so decided to keep it simple.

You may have noticed that I haven't been blogging as frequently. And no photos of me have appeared for a good few weeks.

And maybe you wondered who the happy green hippo was intended for?

If you need another clue, here's my most recent finished knitting project:

Come on, you must have worked out my announcement by now?!

That's right, I'm pregnant!

I'm very pleased to be able to tell you that we are expecting, and I am currently 20 weeks pregnant.

Woo hoo! Needless to say, we are both very excited and I am planning lots of lovely things to make. So, I'm not planning to go all 'mummy blog' on you, but my upcoming makes will have a maternity/baby slant, no doubt.

For those who are interested, I have been feel very well so far and have been lucky enough not to feel sick during the first trimester. Apart from a voracious appetite and a bit of tiredness, I was very well. Now in my second trimester the most noticeable change (apart from the growing bump) has been the super-charged hormones, to which I am still adjusting, but I'm feeling great so far.

I do have a couple of projects which I have been waiting to share with you, so expect to see those very soon.

p.s. For those detectives amongst you - colour of booties is not an indication of gender, only of the colour of wool in my stash :)
