just checking in

I have been offline for several weeks now, and as things are starting to calm down somewhat, I felt that it was time to give anyone who reads this an update on what's been going on...
There has been absolutely NO sewing, planning or thinking about sewing taking place in the past three weeks. At 2:09am on February 11th, I FINALLY gave birth to our long-awaited new addition - a baby boy named Andrew Joel. He weighed exactly 9lbs and was 21 1/4" long. Needless to say, he's a BIG boy and I'm still recovering from the birth!! The past 2 1/2 weeks have been focusing on getting to know our son and learning how to be parents. Here are a couple of pictures:



So there you have it - what I've been up to for the past few weeks. As soon as little Andrew starts on a more regular schedule I'll be able to head back to the sewing table. In the meantime, I've decided that the 2008 SWAP just isn't going to happen. I'll definitely make all of the garments on my SWAP list, and will hopefully make a dent in my to-sew list for 2008, but we'll see how that goes...
