Walks and Winter Littles

November 14, 2016 Rachel

I don't live in the city anymore, but luckily I work within walking distance of one of my favorite Pittsburgh neighborhoods. Also lucky, it's the middle of November and warm enough for me to be willing to be outside. 

Walks though pretty neighborhoods are perfect for curing worry and anxiety and all sorts of unpleasantness, especially since they bring about bouts of nostalgia, which is perfect for me, because I'm nostalgic as hell.

Anyway! I wanted to put together some little stitches to fill in a few blank spots between larger patterns on my tapestree and drew up the ones below for the upcoming months. Any colors can be used/substituted. Click through for the larger size!

Two of our guys (Noah and Charlie) are home! It's been tough, though, still having Ben at the hospital. It feels like our family is 2/3 complete. Of course we're feeling the expected exhaustion of having newborns at home, but I wasn't even somewhat prepared for the added emotional and physical toll of bringing two babies back and forth to the hospital every day so we can spend time with their brother.
♥️
Fortunately we've been blessed with a ton of silver linings. The facility taking care of Ben has been really wonderful. Aside from providing him with the best medical care (seriously, thank God for nurses), they've done everything possible to make sure our family is comfortable, including accommodating all of the babies while we're here. And our friends, families, and church have been so generous.
So we're braving this season as best we can, but I'm looking forward to the day we can look back on this craziness with our three boys at home.
I've been crushing on this pattern for weeks. Not sure if I'll have the energy to start it tonight, but I did stay awake long enough to take this picture.😁 (And Blossom as the Rose by Blackbird Designs)

We're still in the NICU, but look how much progress we've made! 💙 It's been a tough few weeks, but the boys are doing so well. I finally finished writing up the story surrounding their delivery on my website (tapestree.net)—it's hard to believe they were born over 3 weeks ago. I'm so eager for them to come home.
Surprise!! The Samek triplets are here!! I was 31 weeks along this past Thursday when Chuck recommended I take my blood pressure at home. Weirdly, my numbers were high. By the end of the day, I was diagnosed with preeclampsia. What followed were the most difficult and rewarding 24 hours of my life.
💛
Our guys were born within 3 minutes of each other on Friday morning. They'll be in the NICU for several weeks, and although it's been really tough for so many reasons, I'm so fortunate for the care and love we're receiving. What a weekend!

Officially on maternity leave! Shockingly, I'm actually making progress on something. Even though my right hand is almost always numb, and I can't find a comfortable position for longer than 15 minutes, I'm still finding time to stitch. We're less than 6 weeks out from delivery, I can't believe it.

It's been a while since I've posted an update pic, but we're growing right along! I can't believe I'm about two months away from delivery! At this point I'm visiting the doctor every other week and focusing more on what I'm eating (yay gestational diabetes). But all three boys are healthy, growing, and kicking like crazy. It's a circus in there.
