Grandmas R us!

It's official: DD1 is pregnant, due around March 1! She told me on my birthday at the beginning of this month, the best present ever, but asked me not to tell for a few more weeks. But we talked yesterday, I asked if the news was out yet, and she said yes.



The quilt is finished, except for the last bit of binding (and the label -we need a bit more info for that!) I had a burst of euphoria and stitched it in just a couple of days. Also finished 2 little baby sweaters, with more knitting in progress.

Congratulations to all involved - I know you have been waiting in hope to be able to shout this from the rooftops!

What wonderful news, Roberta! Congratulations to you and all in the family. :D

My niece [28 or so y.o.] is due sometime in December. We are rooting for a healthy baby. She is rooting for a baby quilt from me. My dad may live to be a great-grandpa!

congratulations, Roberta!!!

Congratulations! Is this your first grandbaby?

Sherry

So very glad, Roberta!

You've waited so (im)patiently for this to happen. You had better start saving, for all those extra trips to the US!! I hope all goes extremely well and you have plenty of time to get a good 'injection' of baby-love. Marvellous news.

I have to enjoy grandbabies vicariously! So, I'll be impatient too. .

Also, I'd love to see the quilt. Have you got a pic?

Ha! Me too! My DD is 32. I had about given up. Ours is due late September. It is a boy. We're already shopping for a pony.

Good news. Is this the DD that I met at Malvern and gave the beaded amulet necklace to. Hugs Shirley

Yay! Congratulations! We should start a club :-)

I am learning so much already about modern baby-accessories, aren't you? Have you figured out what a Bare Naked Boppy is? I'd never heard of it, but it's on DD's shower gift registry. Sounds like a strip dance to me. :-)

Sherry

Boppies are the U shaped pillows that are used to prop up baby for nursing or even just sitting on the floor. I'm not sure what a Bare Naked one is. I have made a couple covers for them, and I have a couple of the pillow forms here. Maybe that's a bare naked one? Yup....just checked...that's what it is....

Whoa! Pricey! Look around eBay for a Boppy pillow form. I think you can find one much cheaper! The form comes with the cover pattern to make yourself. You can match it to the baby quilt!

I've done just the opposite. I made one for each of the first grand (great?) niece and nephew. Now both families are expecting their second (*one family has already had their second) ....and I'm not making more quilts. Will I be drummed out of the family? Talked about behind my back?

Howdy!

So, I guessed it, huh? And you couldn't tell 'til now. ;-D

Best wishes and God bless the mama, the baby, and all the family.

Talked about behind your back? You could hope. You'll be talked about in front of you. And just WHY can't you honor the birth of the 2nd babies? They're just as special. You may suspect that I am a 2nd child and 'another girl'. SO. C'mon, Kathyl. Find a precious panel and put a border on it. Grrrrr. Polly
