Amazing Technology


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.


Things have changed over the years.  These pictures of my Granddaughter's ultrasound were emailed to me by my daughter.  May I present (drumroll please) my first Great Grandbaby!



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.

  2. Now 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!

    1. Thanks, 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!!

  3. I 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!

    1. Thanks, 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.
