Introducing: Tobias Patrick born on Tuesday, 21st September at 4.07 am weighing 6lbs 11 oz (3030 grams) and 48 cm long.

Our heartfelt thanks goes to the midwives Gemma and Nicky and my wonderful Doula Michelle Every and also to our Charlotte for giving me the necklace and protection of Our Lady St Mary. It was a wonderful birth. Thank you, Lord Jesus Christ for allowing us to make our family complete!

Yes, you have seen right. Two updates in one day! But I really wanted to show you the latest scan picture of Tobias (yes, it is a boy). Doesn't he look handsome already? We have been told that he will be here by the 28th September because of my troubles. I'm really looking forward to meet him and can't wait to have my first cuddle with him!

A few weeks I have won a RAK from Gaynor at http://stitchersanon.blogspot.com/ . She has made this amazing quilt for our new baby. It looks even better in "real"! I'm sorry to only post this today. Don't know why. But I'm going to blame the pregnancy forgetfulness. LOL

I have stitched a Humphrey's Corner kit (Jelly Baby). I'll upload a picture very shortly. Well if I don't forget.

Well, I try one more time: Here is the finished birth sampler. Now it's just waiting for a little girl to be born ;-)

Well, this sampler is coming along slowly. I wanted to finish it before I'll start stitching ANYTHING for our baby but I think I'll better start knitting a cardigan and hat for him. Otherwise he'll be cold.

I would say it is a bit hot to craft at the moment. I'm really worried the sampler gets stained from sweaty hands.

Charlotte is having a new intake day at St James soon. She is really excited. It'll be her very first time all alone on the bus. I think she'll manage though.

It isn't long now and we'll be finshed at St George's Primary. It'll be strange at first I'm sure but there are some people there which I will not miss at all. ;-)

Now the day has come and been. Maisie's First Holy Communion. It was a beautiful day. We are very proud of her. She did really well. Maisie and three other girls took their first communion during the International mass during Pentecost. So it was a lovely but really long mass.

Something stitchy for a change. I have stitched this Eeyore for one of my stitching friends. She is expecting her baby any minute now!
