Quilt #3 and #4

Quilt #3 was for my friend Jill who's baby is due in about 4 weeks and her baby shower was a few weeks ago. She's having a little boy and they're going to name him Elliott. I sure hope he loves his new blankie that was made with love!











Quilt #4...just completed yesterday (May 13th) is for my sister-in-law who is giving me a nephew in just a few days! Richelle LOVES stars and blue...so it was really easy to pick the fabric for this blanket. Hopefully this little guy will grow to love them too. We're all really excited for this little guy to get here! I thought it would be cute to wrap it in some ribbon since it was a gift. I really do enjoy seeing the joy I bring to people when I can give them a gift that I made...you know..things with sentimental meaning. Those gifts are the best! So I hope all 4 quilts get some good use out of them over the many years! The next quilt I make will be for me and much bigger...more to enjoy! =)

And his name shall be???

Today Jake, Richelle and me went to visit our newest family member. They finally picked a name!

Easton Paul Lloyd!

I'm glad he's got a name now and we can start calling him Easton and not just baby or Lloyd Baby!

They are planning on going home tomorrow and hopefully have a nice first day home on Easter Sunday!

Baby Lloyd is HERE!!!

Here he is... Born on April 10, 2009 just before 3pm weighing 7 lbs. 13 oz. & 19 3/4 inches long! This is right after he was born and wiped down!
Yesterday morning I got a call from Karl asking if I was ready to be an Aunt today?? Duh, of course I am!! So he told me that Christi's water broke about 6 am. They drove to the hospital and checked in and gave us all updates when he could. Christi did great and he was born just before 3pm...and Christi only had to push for about 20 minutes and the little guy was here!
Here's a picture of the newest family member just after he was born! Both parents look proud and excited.Baby Lloyd as of right now is nameless because my brother & sister-in-law haven't decided on a name. They started with 4 and have narrowed it down to 3...as of last night. So who knows what this little guy will be called by the time he leaves the hospital.
Here he is after his first bath. HE HATED IT! He was screaming and getting so upset his whole little body turned red. After that traumatic experience...he was OUT...the rest of the night. It didn't matter what we did to him..HE WOULD NOT WAKE UP! We pulled, tugged, lotioned, tried to tickle him and he would just not wake up. Finally, Christi asked the nurse and she said that was pretty normal from them to sleep and not feed for as long as it had been. Phew!
Here are the newest first time Aunts with little Baby Lloyd! So cute! It was fun being able to experience this with Richelle last night. We are going to be GREAT Aunts!
So we thought it would be cute to put new Baby Lloyd on Richelle's prego belly and he really didn't care. But as soon as we laid him on Richelle, Jake & Richelle's baby (Baby Lloyd's cousin) just started kicking his sleeping cousin. Richelle said that all day their little guy was super active and kicking all day! I sure they'll be the best of friends as they get older!

So they should leave the hospital either tonight or tomorrow..and hopefully by then I'll be able to update everyone with his new name!
