Congratulations! I didn't win, but you certainly did. What a beauty!

Posted by: Ammerins at March 12, 2008 10:13 AM

Well, I was right. You were exactly 4 weeks behind me in this whole pregnancy thing. Alex thinks that Meli is quite fetching, and says "Welcome to the world! It's going to blow your mind!"

Oooh, what cute little girl patterns will you knit first? There are so many (not so much for boys.) Bonnets, and booties, and beautiful dresses..., need I go on? And with her coloring, she is going to look spectacular in red! (And all of those bright primary colors. Perfect for the daughter of an artist.)

I bet G's heart melted the second he saw her. She will so have him wrapped around her tiny little finger. :)

Enjoy this time, Cara. It will go soooo quickly.

You and Dad, did good Mom. ;D

She's a beauty! Sending happy wishes to you and G and your new addition. It's amazing what our bodies can knit without ever picking up needles. I hope someday that she is as strong- willed and an independent thinker as you are Cara. Until that time, and I speak as the mother of 3 (18, 19, & 21), enjoy her dependence on you for as long as it lasts - time flies!
