How wonderful, what a beautiful little baby   

[klaasend]

Thanks everyone!  We'll see her in person on Sunday.  My husband built a toybox for her, I crocheted a crib blanket and hat and filled up the toy box with diapers, clothes, and other baby stuff.  We will be taking everything out to them on Sunday too!  Here is her toy box:

Woo Hoo! What a beautiful bundle of joy. You are so lucky.

I do believe now would be a good time to change your forum name to gmaklass.  Yep! good idea for our new Grandma.

Perfect!!    That's going to be her favorite piece of furniture for a long time!! I'll bet the crib blanket is perfect too and she'll be snuggling in her Grandma's warm blankie in no time! I didn't know you crocheted? You'll have to post the pictures! You get to hold her Sunday?? Geez..... she's your grandbaby........ why am I tearing up!?#*!    Oh, it's the grandest thing, isn't it, Klaas? It's just got to be the best when your family grows!! She's beautiful and healthy and she's not fat; just well cared for! 

Can we be her Fairy Godparent???   



Congratulations, Klaas! You'll be the best Grandma ever

Somebody did a fine job with the stencils on the toybox! You wouldn't have had anything to do with that, now would you, Klaas?

This is the blanket.  Hard to tell size in the photo.  It's about 50x36.  The hat I threw together, no pattern just did it real quick, like in an hour cause I had extra yarn.  I used some elastic that was from my grandmother's sewing basket in the hat around the edge before the ruffle to hold the hat on. (I changed the battery in my camera and forgot to reset the date)

Congratulations Klass on your beautiful new granddaughter!  She is precious, I love the rolls on her arms. She is going to love her toy box, blanket and hat they are all adorable and made with love.  Enjoy your visit with her this weekend!

I love the stitch in the blanket, Klaas! My Grandmother taught me how to crochet and we made 3 blankets together, but I only know how to do the squares. That is perfect for a little one! It looks so soft and cushey! She's going to love it!! The hat's going to frame her little face with scallops just perfectly! If it gets cold where she is, the hat's going to be functional too!

A great job and what a wonderful idea filling the toy box up with such welcome items

Congratulations to you!  She's a beautiful baby.

I am truly amazed that you spend 24/7 monitoring and posting and still have extra hands to crochet!  Your talents are extraordinary.  I just love the hat.  I have an adult version a friend made me back in the 70s with a ruffle like that.  It was always my favorite. 

Oh, you will not want to leave her, once you hold her, Klaas.

[klaasend]

CBB - it's just a shell stitch on the blanket and double crochet on the hat.  The yarn is Red Heart® Baby Clouds and is a very soft and bulky baby yarn.

I swear the hat took me less than an hour to do, I was just playing around.

Of course it only took you an hour.......... you're nothing but a blur when you have something to do! One of these days, you're going to accidently churn yourself into butter!   

It's so thoughtful that you used elastic from your Grandmother's sewing box in the hat. That just makes it extra special! I've got a picture of my son in a hat my Grandmother crocheted for him that's very similar to that one. She used satin ribbon on the edge so it could tie under his chin. Other than the fact it made him look like a baby girl (no problem for you) it's adorable!

I am so bad.  While CBB was sleeping ... I tippy-toed into her flower garden and picked this gorgeous rose especially for you.

This is a great club, the Grandma club. CONGRATULATIONS Klaasend.
Oh, you will see the baby toes, the baby smell, it's a love like no other I cam tell you.

[Magnolia]

Congratulations, Granny!

She is a lovely baby.  I am just so happy for you! 

I can give tips on being a long distance Granny.  I am great at it!

[Tamikosmom]

This is what she looked like 6 days ago so I'd say she's happy to be outathere 

 

OW!!!

[klaasend]

Janet - thank you!  I'm sure CBB won't mind!


Here's how she looks on day 2!

[Artcolley]

AWwwww Klaas

She is truly a beautiful child!

And, your husband did a fantastic job on that piece of furniture. That will become an heirloom, I am sure...and all the goodies inside is just such a wonderful idea!  The blanket and the hat are adorable, you talented lady, you!

I can feel your excitement through this computer, lol

OH..and just LOOK at that mop of hair????? Wonderful! 

[klaasend]

That new picture of her looks almost identical to the ultrasound taken on 9/17!  Look at how she is laying, LOL
