While Elli was in the hospital, I did get some knitting done on Luke's little "all-in-one." I've learned that having a 7-year-old in the hospital is a very different experience than having an infant in the hospital. You spend a lot more time trying to entertain an older child, and they tend to get a bit upset with an adult who dares to find something to do other than entertain them!
This is the back, and I'm almost ready to start the straps that come up over the shoulders and fasten to the front.
We had a third fetal echo today, and learned that Luke's heart is looking much better than originally thought. It looks like, if the cardiac catheterization they do after he's born verifies the echo findings, he may only stay in the hospital for a couple of days! He'll still need corrective surgery/ies down the road, but things are looking up.
This also means it's a darn good thing I started his outfit early. If I want him to actually wear it, I do need to finish it before he's born since I won't have those days and days of doing nothing but sit at his bedside in the CICU. What a great problem to have!
