He is doing so well and is such a sweet settled baby.
The girls think he is amazing.
We are all so in love.
How lovely it is to have a son!
I will write more when things settle down.

baby knits

So my new found love with knitting continues. These ones I finished a month or so ago, a newborn size cross over cardigan and a pixie bonnet.
Knitted with beautifully soft Shepherd baby wool.

Jacket pattern is from Cleckheaton.
This book has the most beautiful knits for little ones.

The Vintage Pixie Cap pattern came from here ('free patterns' menu on right).
I do apologise for the freaky looking doll model, but I have no baby to model it on yet!
We are slowly getting ready for this baby, still a lot to be done. All I feel like doing is sitting around knitting, but that is going to have to stop soon, there is so much to be sorted around the house, baby clothes to be washed and birth preparations to be made.
Only one month to go now!

hello baby

I am hoping these photos will bring some kind of explanation to my lack of blogging as of late. Yes, this Mama is growing another beautiful baby, and is so blessed to have the chance at being Mama all over again. Our little one is due late July. Tiredness has been my second name, and hanging out in blogland has fallen low on my priority list. I am hoping to be around a little more before bub joins us, because the crafting/sewing never stops at my place! It's just uploading and picking photos that seems so unappealing.

And a great book on childbirth that our whole family have been enjoying is 'Hello Baby'. Beautiful illustrations by the very talented Julie Vivas. It's a story of home birth, but I would recommend it for any kind of birth you are planning. My girls find it fascinating!
