JunebugsMom is up! Ask away everyone.


And because I like the crafty questions, have you started knitting anything for the new babe yet? If so, what and can we have some pics?

I just started a little wool soaker from some hand-dyed yarn in blue, green, and purple.

I decided on a baby blanet--it's the Sampler blanket from Vogue Knitting on the Go Baby Blankets 2. Here's an example

I ordered the yarn the other day (in pink )

Did you grow up in CA? (I did, in L.A. I often wonder what possessed me to move to NY.)
Do you have pets?
Do you live in a house/apartment/tent or what? Do you like your neighbors? Are there any family members nearby?

Did you grow up in CA? (I did, in L.A. I often wonder what possessed me to move to NY.) No, I was born and raised in northern Wisconsin : then I moved to Louisiana for graduate school, where I met my DH. We moved to San Diego in 2001 for DH's job.

Do you have pets?
No.

Do you live in a house/apartment/tent or what? Do you like your neighbors?
We live in a small 2-bedroom apartment. Most of our neighbors are ok, but we're not really friends with any of them.

Are there any family members nearby?
My mom lives in the same apartment complex

I get the impression that is a good thing for you? For me it would be a bit close, but having grandma nearby would sure help sometimes!

Yes, my mom and I get along great. She is not overbearing at all and she tries her best to just be helpful. She is great with watching my son and we take turns making dinner for everyone. I am lucky to have such a super mom (the rest of my family is another story )

You mean your siblings and dad? How many siblings do you have? Do you like your in-laws?

I have one sister and we do get along well. My dad and I never had a good relationship at all (he passed last year) and I didn't get along with the rest of his family either.

My in-laws are um, kind of crazy, but we get along well enough. Civil and all that. And they do adore my son.

Do you like fish tacos?

Have you ever ventured across the border into Mexico?

DH works at UCSD.

Fish tacos are ok, but DH loves them.

Would you believe I have never been to Mexico?

What do you like to do in your free time (if you have any).

Sweet or salty?

What cravings do you have during this pregnancy?

What was the last thing that you ate?

How would you describe your life pre-babies? (I remember someone asked this on another spotlight and I thought it was a great question )

If there is a dp, how did you meet?
