This is a photo of my Grandparents. My Mother always claimed that was the first photo taken of herself because she was born a couple of months later in July of 1924.
And the tiny little feet!
We have a few months to go before learning if the baby is a boy or a girl. Nicki and Chris have decided they don't want to know until he/she is born. I guess that is OK. I didn't know the gender of any of my kids until their births. But I have this really cute girl fabric in my stash for a baby quilt. Guess I had better get busy and order some boy themed fabric and make two quilts. I am not fond of gender neutral baby quilts.
I am simply amazed at how the technology has advanced so that I can actually see my Great-Grandbaby. The only thing better will be when I can actually hold that child in my arms.
Early congratulations!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Gorges.
DeleteCongratulations for sure.
ReplyDeleteMore quilts to make - how fun is that!
Cheers, SJ in Vancouver BC
Thank you, SJ...Best excuse for making a quilt or two to come along in a long time. :)
DeleteNow that is so awesome! My preference is not knowing the gender until the time of birth. I love the element of surprise and the good old-fashioned ways. I do have to admit tho that the ultrasound pics of today are much improved since having been invented. I am very excited for you, Vicki!
ReplyDeleteThanks, CW...It amazes me that I can see my Great-Grand before birth! And I can't fault the parents for wanting to be surprised. And yes - I am excited, too!!
DeleteI don't mind gender neutral items, but I really want the first thing I make to be blue or pink. My daughter's ex's girlfriend said my granddaughter wore too much pink and to wear other colors. Well, I am a thousand miles away and he did not tell me. So, I continued to send her pink stuff. My daughter approved or she would have told me so. She probably told him she did not buy it, her mother did. However, I was not so strong on the pink when my two girls were older than infants. Pink is my favorite color, so it's not going away...lol. Congrats!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Linda...I guess I want to make something that is uniquely the baby's, no matter the gender. I have some adorable pink fabric with kittens on it to use for a girl's quilt, but nothing for a boy. Guess I had better order something appropriate, just in case. Good thing I enjoy making quilts.
DeleteVicki~ Babies are a blessing and congratulation to the parents-to-be. Red
ReplyDeleteThank you, Red...Yes, they are a blessing and I am so lookin forward to this little one. I will pass the congratulations along.
