a wooly diaper cover

Eva

I’m still working on that birth story post, so in the meantime I thought I’d post some more pictures of our sweet little girl.  She’s been such a blessing– and sleeps 5 or 6 hours every night!

While we were on our trip to Idaho in June I knit this little diaper cover.  I had yet to knit a diaper cover that would work– but on baby #6 I finally did it!  I used the Warm Heart Woolies Plain Wrap pattern (you’ll need to sign in to ravelry for that link to work) and Malabrigo worsted yarn.  Malabrigo is SO soft and felts easily, so it works really well for a diaper cover.  I added aplix hook and loop to fasten it which makes for easy changes.

It is so fun to snuggle a baby with a soft, fluffy bum.

Granny was here

My mom came nearly a week before Eva was born.  I was so glad to have her here and wish more than ever that I somehow lived close to family.

sweet Granny

She welcomed our sweet baby girl with a bright quilt in signature Granny style.

It’s a good place to wiggle.

Barry posted a photo from my iPhone minutes after our Eva was born– before we knew how much she weighed or what her middle name would be, so I thought I’d fill in a few details.

She’s perfect and super cute and loved by all.

One of these days I’ll type up a birth story, but for now I’m just busy resting and nursing and staring at her…
