Ducky's Baby Quilt

As previously mentioned, my baby sister had a baby boy. (FYI, my Baby Sister isn't a baby anymore, but I think a part of me will always see her as "My Baby!") Little Ducky is the cutest little fella and my kids LOVE him. Of course, this post is not about how cute my nephew is or how nice it is to see my children loving him up! Although, I think I should share a couple of pictures :)



I made a quilt for my sister and her little Duckling and it is actually FINISHED! The pattern is from McCall's Quick Quilts Magazine, the July 2008 issue. It is called Wiggle Worms, but my babies call it The Snakes. It isn't really a baby quilt, but is more a toddler/playtime quilt as it is pretty big. It was fast and pretty easy to make. I cheated and tied it instead of hand quilting it because I may or may not have waited a wee bit to long to start it. Actually, I started during the last week of January, finished on February 19th and that little guy came right on his due date, March 4th. I know I cut it a bit close, but that is how i roll!


I hope they both like it and actually get some use out of it!

Baby Ducky

This has been a busy week and I am okay with not keeping caught up with anything. My sister gave birth to a beautiful little boy. We shall call him Ducky. He is a cutie. 6 lbs. 14 oz., 19 inches long. Such a tiny little thing. I will post a picture when I have one that isn't from his birth. Baby's just aren't that beautiful when they are BRAND new and still sticky. I am going to see him and my sis on Friday and we are staying the night. We being me and the kids. We will be visiting my parents on Saturday and getting home Saturday afternoon. I am really excited to go spend some time with them all. Wa and Kiki are thrilled about seeing the baby. Although, they are probably going to get bored pretty fast. I won't though!

On a less happy note, the whole family had Strep Throat. It is not fun having all 4 of us suffering from Strep. Then I got a Sinus Infection to go with it. Best time ever. Antibiotics are doing their job and the kids are feeling much better, but I am still suffering from the Sinuses and there isn't anything this pregnant lady can do about it.
