Things are really getting down to the wire around here in baby growing land, and trust me – I’m feeling it! I’ve really slowed down lately: becoming so cumbersome with belly.

When I posted about the buttons I put on my Fair Isle Cardigan for baby #2 here, I mentioned that I used buttons from a gigantic button jar that my Mom had given me.
