Welcome to the World!

Stock baby, from here.
I'm not sure what got in the water 9 months ago, but it seems like everyone around me is giving birth this week -- The Boy's sister,  J.,  just delivered a healthy, handsome boy and my good friend R. is giving birth any. minute. now.

It's pretty exciting for me since, as an only child, I was never really around babies or pregnant women. It's kind of like a magical, slightly gross, other world. I am DEFINITELY not ready to jump on the bandwagon any time soon, but it has been beautiful to see how excited J. and her husband are to add a second baby to their brood and how R. and her fiancee are being transformed by the idea that they're about to be parents.

So in celebration of these great parents and parents-to-be and their lovely tykes (one boy and one girl, how perfect!), here are some really ridiculously cute baby things:

No Nursery will every be as perfect as Frank's creation in Father of the Bride 2,

Every baby needs a penguin shirt. and lots and lots of curly hair.

If I could knit, I would run out and make a million little baby turbans and one big grown-up one for me. Alas, I will just smile at this picture and imaging pinching those cheeks. Squish!

Mobiles are like baby's first entree into the art world. It's a powerful first statement, right?

But, cute as they may be, these human babies will never be as cute as this baby sloth. Sorry.

XOXO and much love to all the beautiful mommies out there --

  2. Heh, both of my kids were born in mid September, which is 40 weeks after Christmas & New Years :)

    Congratulations to both families! I suggest that you take/send a meal to both. That can be a huge help to new parents.

  4. After my second child was born I had a group of friends from church volunteer to bring me dinner every other night for a month. Plus, my mother-in-law made and froze a bunch of meals ahead of time. It was fantastic! I thought that Italian help up best to freezing and reheating. Maybe lasagna? Also, including something for breakfast is always a bonus. New parents are exhausted in the morning and cold cereal gets old fast. Muffins, banana bread, etc. are great.
