I went into labor on Thanksgiving (don't worry- I got a turkey dinner in before we left for the hospital) and Elise made her entrance to the world Friday morning, November 26 at 11:05. Our bundle of joy is just a little peanut- weighing in at a mere 6 lbs 12 ounces. Elise's special handknit coming home outfit was adorned pink buttons and little flowers. It turned out a little something like this:
Unfortunately she was still mistaken for a little boy on our way out of the hospital- guess it's time to incorporate some pink into our gender neutral wardrobe. Needless to say we are in love and totally in awe of our daughter- we just can't get enough of her.
Posts may be a little delayed for a bit until we get our schedule a little more figured out (our little party girl seems to think 4:30 am is an acceptable bedtime). I do have some more tutorials drawn up for later this week, but new projects take precedence. Because it is craft day- I will make sure I get a few stitches in, it wouldn't be right if I didn't :).

ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the birth of your beautiful new daughter! I too remember dressing my daughter in pinks and purples so she wouldnt be called a boy too but I got used to her wearing them and she looked quite pretty in them too. I do hope your daughter will realise that 4:30am is not the right bedtime for anyone, lol!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! She is the cutest little peanut!! But she missed my birthday by 12 hrs and some change! She is super cute!! Get a few guest bloggers on here and take some precious mommy-daughter time! I LOVE the name by the way!

ReplyDeleteIn honor of International Craft Day (and also that I drove back home today after my Thanksgiving and don't desire to do homework), I have started my first French Press Slippers! I love this pattern, and I am so excited to felt them!
She is so sweet, all the best to you and Joe! I am so glad you are home with your beautiful daughter and hope Elise settles into a more appropriate schedule soon.

Congratulations! She is beautiful and I wouldn't have mistaken her for a boy, much too pretty to be boy. The best thing you can do in the early weeks/months is to sleep when she sleeps, I know how hard it can be to do this but there will be plenty of time to watch het sleep when she's on a regular sleep schedule.
ReplyDeleteCongrats!! You won't get much sleep for a while. I say put her in whatever you like. I think girls can wear whatever color they want. Her going home outfit is adorable, and she has such a lovely name.
ReplyDeleteYay! Congrats, you guys! She's adorable!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful baby in a beautiful outfit with a beautiful name :) Congratulations. I hope I get to meet her soon :) love, jaclyn

ReplyDeleteElise is the most beautiful creation you have ever made. Congratulations to your entire family! Enjoy and get some rest.
ReplyDeleteAww!! What a beauty! Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteOMG, she's so beautiful! and her name also :)
ReplyDelete(In Hungary the earrings matter. You can dress up a baby-girl top-to-toe in pink, and they (the old ladies) still ask if it's a boy)
well hello, new little person- welcome to the world! (and prepare to knit!)
ReplyDeleteann
Beautiful! My daughters and I did celebrate International Crafting day - thanks so much for the idea, I believe we will make it an annual event. Enjoy that precious gift.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!! I love her name ;) you spelled it just right!
ReplyDeleteElise
That young lady is the most beautiful craft project ever. I will give you the only advice I ever give new moms. Carry your child in your arms way more than in a carrier. You will never miss hauling around a carrier-you will miss the feel of little arms around your neck. Best wishes to the whole family.
ReplyDeleteShe is just adorable! Congrats!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful baby! And she favors her Momma!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! She is beautiful in her hand knits; just think of the wonderful knitting ahead as you adorn her in pink, and lavender, and peach...
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on Elise! What a beautiful baby.
ReplyDeleteI celebrated International Crafting Day with my spindle & my needles, even though I'd forgotten that it was yesterday.
CONGRATS!!! Elise is beautiful!!! It brings tears to my eyes...the birth of my two boys (now 17 & 10) is/was the two best days of my life!!! Enjoy every little moment... babies are just a glimpse of heaven's glory :)
