OT Grand baby watch

Well, my grand daughter is now one day overdue. Mom is feeling fine
but would really like to meet her little bundle of joy. No name has
been selected yet, but I have started to call her "Puddin" just to have
something to call her. They are in Florida so I am hoping to hop down
there the minute I get the word from my son.

I will keep you posted!

Well, it was pretty tough making quilts for a Florida kidlet, but she
will have 4 of various weights and sizes - same as my grand son.
Haveta make them the same number, you know.

But I have made her a flannel receiving blanket in sage green with the
alphabet animals, a pink, white and lilac rail fence minkee quilt, a
Brambley Hedge quilt using a full panel for the front and a
coordinating fabric for the backing, and a chennile quilt in sage
green, yellow and white. Can you tell that mama kept changing the
color of the nursery? It ended up being pink, lilac and white.

I figure she'll use them all since it does get chilly in their part of
Florida and she can also use them as floor covers as well.

This does not count the I Spy quilt that I have started for her and her
cousin thanks to the swap that Lynn just hosted.

I don't suppose that this is a good time for me to mention that one of our
daughters was born 6 weeks later than her predicted birth date. She was due
in October and got here when she was good and ready in December - and that
was not one bit even close to a world's record. Back then, the nurses were
firmly bent on placing all newborns in the incubators on their little
tummys. DD could roll over on her back and just send her nurses into a
dither.
They don't let pregnancies run that far past due date anymore. I
suspect it's the number of o b doctors that went missing in the Swamp.

Many many sympathies to your daughter in law for going overdue - I was 9
days late with my second baby in August and was climbing the walls. One
word of advice - don't phone every day asking "Have you had it yet?" ;-)

We are waiting for our grand-neice who was due yesterday. I guess I
must be impatient. Both of my children were born early and after short
labors. My oldest was a week early and 6 hours of labor, my youngest
was 4 weeks early and just under 4 hours labor.

I think they would have to commit my son first and then my DIL if she went
that far. There was originally some question of her actual due date and
they had both October 9th and 13th, but the doctor won't let her go past
next Sunday. I will have to clone myself since my DD is now ready to move
into her newly renovated home within the next 10 days and I have two
business trips the week of the 20th! I will make airline reservations
hoping to hit it right so I can help my son and DIL when they come home. If
I can at least give them a chance for a few full nights sleep it will help
them a bit.

I have not been calling unless she tells me she has a doctors appt. Then I
call to see how that went.
