I’ve been working on a secret project over the past three months. It won’t be finished until August but here it is in progress…
13 weeks ago I went to a big xmas party. To cut a long story short I had a very large night. LARGE. Advertising large. The next day I woke up with the worst hangover of my life. A week later I still felt like death and on further investigation discovered I was pregnant…eek! (doctor assures me all is OK). I have had the same hangover for 13 weeks. Can you imagine, I’ve been saying to myself “I’m never going to drink again, yes I’ll have fries with that” for 13 weeks?
.
All that hangover was so worth it when I saw my new bubba on the screen – dancing around like a disco baby just like his/her big brother did. I didn’t think I’d be as excited about the second baby but I can proudly report that I’m every bit as clucky, excited and nervous as I was the first time. I can say that this time I will avoid international press coverage that went crazy over my first bubbas facebook page ” Womb with a view” . Oh bring on that second trimester glow and the nesting hormones that make me craft like crazy!
.
Hello. My name is Claire. I have a sock toy addiction. It began two years ago when I was pregnant and nesting. At first I dismissed it. I hadn't sewn in years. "Craft Schmaft" I said. Well it seems this crafty thing is here to stay. This blog brings you the delights of making sock softies, fabric finds and crafty inspiration from round the interweb.

Congratulations!!!!!!1I’m so happy for you!!!!! and if it’s a girl think of all the pink fabric I am going to send your way whether you like
February 14, 2010 at 4:56 PM
oops I didn’t finish that but I meant to say whether you like it or not!!!!!! I’m sure you’ll fall for pink if it’s a girl!
put your feet up and enjoy as many fries as you want

Ha ha Corrie, and will you have me addicted to yo-yos too? Thanks so much for the best wishes
February 14, 2010 at 5:13 PM
Claire congratulations, very exciting news
February 15, 2010 at 4:44 PM
Thanks Cass!
February 14, 2010 at 5:20 PM
Oh Congratulations!! That’s great news!
How cute will your nursery be with your sweet little owls
February 14, 2010 at 7:10 PM
Yay congratulations!!! I’m so pleased to hear you’re as excited with #2 as you were with #1, that’s always been something I worry about and I only have 1 bubba!!!
February 15, 2010 at 4:44 PM
I know, you can’t imagine loving anything more than number 1 but I think you’re heart makes more room (perhaps it grows at the rate of expanding waistline?)
February 14, 2010 at 7:20 PM
congratulations!
hope that hangoverish feeling finishes up quickly
February 15, 2010 at 4:43 PM
The hangover is already lifting, thanks Megan
February 14, 2010 at 7:42 PM
Congratulations!!! Such happy news
February 14, 2010 at 7:43 PM
Congratulations! I think second babies are exciting too and I am sure your headache will go away soon. My daughter was an August baby too and I loved being able to snuggle her up in winter woollies!
February 15, 2010 at 4:43 PM
Oh I am so looking forward to that Sue, Oscar was November so not quite such a cuddly season. Thanks for the best wishes.
February 14, 2010 at 8:19 PM
Oh That is soooooo wonderful !
February 15, 2010 at 4:43 PM
Thanks so much for your comment Jodie, I am very excited. Actually I think I’m getting more excited the more all of you get excited!
February 14, 2010 at 8:21 PM
Hooray!!!
February 14, 2010 at 8:58 PM
Have to giggle, Corrie forcing girlie fabric on you!! Congratulations, how exciting!! Your child can share a birthday with all the other babies who started off their journey at a Christmas Party. Second time around i had twins, so big surprise for us. Super exciting news, lovely post, all the best!! Love Posie
February 15, 2010 at 4:43 PM
Oh Posie I have to say that I was quietly relieved when they said there was just one little bundle in there although friends with twins do seem to have lots of fun. I believe that Corrie will have me doing yo-yos with said girly fabric in no time.. he he he
February 14, 2010 at 9:03 PM
Congratulations! Wonderful news:)
Enjoy fries and crafting!!! Girly fabrics are so cute!!! I wish I had a little girl to sew for:)
February 15, 2010 at 4:43 PM
Thanks Katia – I think, judging from Corries comment, I’m going to get girly fabrics whether I like it or not! he he he Although I am strangely drawn to pink of late, so unlike me.
February 14, 2010 at 9:06 PM
Oh, the best ever kind of project. Congratulations, such wonderful news.
February 15, 2010 at 4:43 PM
It really is the best project, thanks Bianca
February 14, 2010 at 9:53 PM

Thanks Marina!

Great news Claire!!! Congrats!!
February 15, 2010 at 4:43 PM
Thank you!
February 14, 2010 at 10:34 PM
Congrtulations to you all – glad the babe was doing a dance for you and the weight has lifted.
February 15, 2010 at 4:42 PM
Oh yes Karen… this bubba was dancing all over the place. Makes me think that this one is going to be as “spirited” as it’s big brother. He’s the kind of kid that people say “wow… he’s so active!” about. he he
February 14, 2010 at 10:59 PM
You do come up with some seriously excellent projects! Hearty, hearty congratulations (and yes, at the moment you do want fries with that – plus a ginger biscuit to go).
February 15, 2010 at 4:42 PM
Ha Ha… at least I know this one won’t be a UFO although it is putting a dent in my plans on learning how to crochet.
Thanks for the congrats Tania
February 15, 2010 at 12:34 AM
Congratulations on your exciting news. It’s exciting even when you get to number 4.
February 15, 2010 at 4:42 PM
whoooa Linda… I don’t know about getting to number four, although my hubby is one of five and I have a feeling he’s got big plans!
Thanks for the best wishes!

Now that’s one big time long haul project and it’s only 13weeks in!! So happy for you Hun and the family. What an exciting chapter of your lives you have begun and I get to watch it unfold right here on your blog. I laughed so hard I woke Bubble when I read Womb with a view (it’s 4.30am). Bring on the belly and the kicking and craving and the need to craft at all hours of the day!!!
Big Big Love and happiness Steph

Congratulations Claire! This is very exciting news – children are such blessing.
February 15, 2010 at 7:49 AM
Fantastic news! A big congratulations xx
February 15, 2010 at 10:17 AM
What fantastic news!! The second child is always as exciting as the first!
Enjoy the moment!!
February 15, 2010 at 4:42 PM
Thanks Monika!
February 15, 2010 at 12:19 PM
Oh my goodness. How awfully exciting. Eat what you want, when you want. I haven’t had a second, but with my first I was eating anything I wanted and the great part was that I always had an excuse – and it never needed to be verbalised! Here’s to eating lots of ridiculous food and enjoying being pregnant!

February 15, 2010 at 4:42 PM
Ahhh Magdalena – I certainly have been on the ” eat what you want” bandwagon! Thanks so much for your best wishes.
February 15, 2010 at 8:46 PM
Congratulations! That’s particularly exciting news! What is it with pregnancy and craving fat and salt? Whatever it is, they must be essential nutrients for growing babies
February 17, 2010 at 7:00 AM
Congratulations, wishing you all the best with the rest of the pregnancy. Mmm your comment about chips reminds me of my two pregnancies.
February 17, 2010 at 10:37 AM
Woohoo! Huge congratulations Claire!! I hope the queasiness eases now and you can settle back to enjoy the pregnancy and planning for baby #2!!!!

February 25, 2010 at 3:55 PM
Oh – Congrats! Wishing you an uneventful and easy pregnancy!
February 25, 2010 at 4:06 PM
Thank you!
March 7, 2010 at 5:44 PM
Congratulations!! This is such exciting news!! I’m a little slow- but that happens when life gets busy I guess!!
Congratulations again though!! Eek!
