Baby number 1!!

Would everyone like to put their hands together and (quietly) welcome the delightful Ben Alexander to the world. Isn't he a darling? Massive congratulations to my pal Catriona and her lovely bloke Derek. All are hale and hearty and doing well!

I have consequently been shopping. Now, I planned to go for the ubiquitous baby clothes but after having such fun with the patchwork I've had a change of tack and am planning a pram quilt out of this fabric.

Catriona like BRIGHT things and since her pram is scarlet I thought this mixed with red and black could be her sort of thing. I've seen a cracking baby quilt that's just a giant log cabin square so we shall see. Very me, just jumping in and hoping for the best!! *g* Quite a lot of other pretty fabric fell into my basket, too. I am definitely a vintage/funky type girl.

We thought we were going to have 2 births in one day - that's BOTH expectant friends. Biff has been having contractions since 3.30am but at 4pm was only 2cm gone. Dagnammit. C'mon, baby, Mummy's getting tired!!!! *wafting hurry up vibes* Although Spouse has noted that since he is on standby tonight he can't drink. So for wetting-baby's-head purposes he would quite like a tomorrow birth. Men.

Hi! I'll try really hard to reply to comments by email (unless you're a no-reply Blogger in which case I can't!) because I love getting your messages but I'm a working mum and don't always manage - I read and appreciate every single one!
