So I've known this for a while now, but it just 'sunk in' that I am going to have a GRAND DAUGHTER!
You do know what this means, don't you? I no longer need to feel guilty when I buy dolls. Or doll house furniture. Or buggies. Or old wooden cradles. Or craft books.
Of course, she may be like her mother, and won't care much for that stuff anyway. But, just the same, I'm still planning to buy it for her.
I also need to do a search for the tutorial on making little girl sun dresses out of vintage embroidery pillow cases. Daughter nearly gasped audibly when I mentioned this. So, maybe this one won't be happening.
I've never had as much fun in my life as I am having with Baby Boy. I am SO happily looking forward to the increase of this tribe.
If I had the time to figure out how to post a video, I would show you the new thing Baby Boy has learned. I don't have the time, so I will have to use words to describe it.
Baby Boy has been 'helping' me carry 'heavy things'. Heavy things like the container of baby wipes. When I thank him for bringing them to me, I will tell him that he is getting 'strong, like daddy'. When I say 'strong, like daddy' he will assume the body builder pose and shiver with joy at being like daddy! It is just too too cute.
His sister could be pretty strong too. As I recall, Daughter was the master of the one arm chin up and could shimmy up a rope without any effort. Hmmm. She also began diving head first out of her crib at 11 months. Thankfully, she hasn't had THAT to contend with with Baby Boy. Maybe next time (insert evil laughter here).

Oh, you must, must do the pillowcase dress - if not for Baby Girl then for her life-size baby doll that you will buy.
Oh Judy! I wanted to write you a gob of stuff, but then my experience won't necessarily be yours! I just hope that the joy and anticipation you have for this baby won't be dampened in any way. Likely being it is your daughter, she will be more perceptive to you, than if your dil. At least from my experience here. Though my daughters do not have babies yet. Things happened to muchly dampen the joy we had when we learned of both grandsons anticpated arrivals...and more happened when it was the granddaughter and though she is over 2 now, I still have not made her baby blanket...I simply must do so...but well...things happen and cause pain and then I loose the joy and the project gets shoved aside. I did make one gorgeous, girly old antique crocheted bib...but it is waiting for a child of one of my daughters!! I put so much work into it, I could not stand to have it given back as happened with one crocheted blanket I made for the first grandson! Those who do not know how to do handwork likely have NO idea as to the amount of time and work that goes into such things! And in my case, nor the love that was behind it.
Me - Great Idea! I have her life size baby doll, the one we got her the Christmas before Youngest Son was born.
I never could get all of the Desitin off of it.
Elizabeth - Daughter is not into hand made stuff, so I'm careful with my offerings! Thankfully, she doesn't mind my thrifting for useful things, so I do that quite a bit!
I just cannot imagine someone rejecting a hand crocheted baby blanket. THAT must have hurt!
