2 hours and counting

i mentioned i had knit otto the owl (can't recall the exact book, but i believe it is lucinda guy's goodnight book - too lazy to link!). here he is (please ignore the terrible intarsia, i don't think it deters much from his cuteness).

appropriate timing considering the recipient's water broke 2 hours ago! i am sitting here waiting for any info (although i know it may be a long while) because i am sooo excited. technically she wasn't due until september 6th, but obviously this baby had other plans! and soon - very soon i will finally know if it is a boy or girl (pure torture making us wait my friend). so send good labor vibes to my dear friend denise, this is her first and she and her husband are going to be the best parents.
