Baby Annoucement - Update #2

Christmas is over and the new year is about to begin.  When I reflect back on 2012, it has been a very good year.  The best, in fact, for me.  But as I look forward to 2013, it sure seems like this year won't compare with what is to come.

We toke advantage of the Boxing Day sales this week and bought the baby furniture for the baby room.  Half the furniture is on back order and will take awhile to arrive (guess that is what happens when you buy items on such a big sale), but we still have time, so it's no big deal.  Today, we setup the crib and chair for the baby room.  It seems to be more real with each passing day.  In just five short months, we will be welcoming home our child.

I have been working on the baby announcement cross stitch for 3 weeks now.  This past week with Christmas, not much was done but I had taken a progress picture after two weeks.  I nearly have the first bear done, which is very quick for me.  I just hope that I will have it done in time for the baby.

My last two posts explained what I have been doing for the past year and a half in regards to my cross stitching.  This one is looking forward to my new project and the reason behind it.  As I had just told you, I recently found myself a beautiful wife, Elly and how happy she has made me.  And not too long ago, she told me we are expecting our first child!!!  Elly is due the end of May 2013.  We are very excited and can't wait.  She has has enjoyed seeing my cross stitching projects and asked me to stitch a Baby Record.  We picked out the Tobin Baby from Tobin Home Crafts.

We have already said that we don't want to know if it is a boy or a girl until the big day so we were trying to find a colour neutral design.  I am hoping that I will be able to finish it just in time for when baby arrives so all I will need to do is stitch in the name, date, and weight.

I have just prepped everything and ready to stitch.  So enough blogging for one day, time to get on with it.
