You see, I have two rad little boys. No girls. Thank you, Casey and Kylene for providing a granddaughter!
Her name is Margot, and she is CUTE!
She was born with a lung infection and then suffered from seizures that cause her to have attacks of apnea. After over two weeks in the hospital and a barrage of tests, she is now home with her mommy and daddy. She's on oxygen, an apnea monitor when she's sleeping as well as some anti-seizure medication. All of this is expected to be temporary. Thank God!!!
Here's a picture Casey sent me of her before one of her tests. They call her their little mad scientist in this one.
She took it all like a little trooper. I'm so impressed by her and her parents!
See you this weekend sweet girl!
One of my biggest issues when I first became a mother...ok, I had a lot of issues when I first became a mother....was swaddling blankets.
Receiving blankets weren't big enough after about 4 days. There was always a knee, elbow, hand or tooshie sticking out. The big fluffy blankets were great, but too big for swaddling. After my second boy was born, someone gave me some top sheets for a crib. They were perfect for swaddling. Victory! I'm not sure if it was the swaddling, my experience as a mother or just my son's temperament, but he was a MUCH calmer and more peaceful baby. Maybe it was a combination? Maybe I have no idea what I'm talking about.
I do know, however, that I now love to give swaddling blankets for baby gifts on the off chance the blanket was trick.
I chose three fun patterns for Margot because, well, her mother is fun and hip and totally cool and I figured she'd like them. You're cool too, Casey.
I cut them about 3 and half feet square and sewed a simple hem around the edge. They're made of a super soft, light flannel.
New photos of the actual swaddled cutie pie coming soon!
Here they are!
I love my blankets that you made. They were perfect!
