Waiting for Baby Cody

So, I had my pre-op appointment today for my c-section on Thursday, June 2nd.  I was hoping to go into labor on my own, but it looks like that's just not meant to be.  And I'm okay with that now.  I've come to find peace in just knowing that I want a healthy baby in my arms, and I want to be healthy as well. 

So, as I sit here, very impatiently waiting, I decided to spin a little tonight.  I recently learned how to core spin yarn and it is SO MUCH FUN!  I love how fast it goes, and I love the look of the yarn as well.  It's so much more interesting to me than traditional 2 ply handspun yarns.  I don't know why, but it is.  The way the colors swirl from one to another is just so fun and all in all, gorgeous to me.

I plan on finishing the fiber I have here tonight and washing it all and putting it up to dry all night and tomorrow.  Hopefully, it will dry enough for me to ball up and take to the hospital with me.  I know, you are probably thinking, "You'll never have time to crochet when you are there." 

Do you know how BORED I was at times after Audrey was born???  I can't sleep worth a darn in the hospital, no matter how tired I am, and I didn't bring any good books with me or simple crochet projects either.  This time, I do get to have my computer with me, and I have a kindle now too... but sometimes, it's just relaxing to crochet and watch something take shape.

So, in about 36 hours, I will meet the newest Underhill boy.  Squeee!!!  I'm excited!

Hello Everyone!

Okay.  I believe this is the 3rd blog that I've started, but I really would love to keep this one up.  My goal is to post at least on a weekly basis.  I'll have posts on things going on with my family as well as my little side craft business.  That's the idea at least. 


So, I should probably start by telling a little about myself and my family.  :)

I'm Kristina Underhill, married to the LOVE of my life, Mark Underhill and we live in Southern California.  See where the blog name comes from?  LOL

We have 2 children, Austin who will be 3 on June 18th, Audrey who will be 18 months on June 5th, and little Cody who will come via a c-section no later than June 2nd unless I go into labor on my own before then.  Yes, yes.  We will be parents to 3 children in the next few days, all about 18 months apart.  Our kids are our world. 

We are a Catholic family who goes to church every single week, even on vacations.  We try to live our lives in the way we believe that Jesus would want us to. We pray together as a family and individually as well.  I'm very involved in ministries at our parish and Mark's involvement is him watching our children so I CAN be involved.  It works out very well for us!

I also have a little business on the side:  Under the Hill Crafts.  I don't do it for the $, but I can't help but get excited when I do have a sale!  I mostly sell handspun wool yarn, as in spun on a spinning wheel.  Yes, I own a spinning wheel.  I also sell hand dyed wool fibers and wool yarn.  Here and there you will find other things I enjoy creating, such as felted soaps.  I'll blog more about each of my crafts as time goes on.

So, there's a basic run down of who we are.  More to come later!  :)
