HisGirlFriday13 · January 2014

My brother and sister-in-law had my nephew call me today (he's 2.5) to tell me he's going to be a big brother!!

The new baby is due in October -- right around DH's and my anniversary!!

I'm gonna be an auntie for a second time!

Thanks! Did you get my page for the bride on Ceremony and Vow Ideas who wants to honour her deceased mother? Her name is EarthToChelsea.

I was thrilled with my nephew and I'm even more thrilled now with the new baby. DH and I are both oldest children, and we know how disruptive new babies are to routines, so we've already decided that when the baby is born, we're going to have my nephew come stay with us for a few days and do fun, "big boy" things with him so he feels special. He's going to go from being the only child and only grandchild and only great-grandchild to having to share the spotlight. It's going to be rough.

Congratulations!!! My FBIL & FSIL are expecting my nephew in less than 2 weeks! I'm going to be a 2x auntie too

Yay! What baby patterns are you going to do?!

@misssunshine17: I have two favourite blanket patterns for baby blankets:

I used a size N hook and chained on 98 stitches (16*5 + 2). I did 36 rows, making sure to begin and end with the same colours. I then did a line of single crocheting on the left and right sides to hide where I'd joined the yarn and give it a finished edge.

For my nephew, I did this pattern:

I did that in the blue denim yarn, and it's HUGE, but he loves it.
