Take outfit, insert baby

Dear Jenn,
I said I would make a post for you to wake up to, so here it is!
Here's the outfit we have for PixieLee to wear home:


I haven't finished the ends yet. I've been really slack about that lately. But the shirt is cute.

My friend Annette has a little hyenacart shop called Biltmore Baby, and she made this shirt.
I also got one for Rowan that says "speaker of the house" and one for Niall that says "agent of chaos."

This is the sweater I'm making for Lisa's baby:

I ended up striping the sleeve because my incredible planning ability made me pair cream trim on a red sweater. Santa! So ya, I striped the sleeve. I'm not sure how I like it since it's raglan, and I have to make the other sleeve and do all the ends. But maybe she'll wear it for Christmas and it will be cute.

I also finished my boppy pillow for PixieLee:

The boys are already plotting to steal it, even though they each have theirs from when they were babies.

And finally, the yarn I got today. It's from Zenstring and is her "bambewe" - a blend of bamboo and marino. It's so soft! And pretty! The colorway is called Cupcake. I'm going to make the kimono sweater for PixieLee out of this.

And that's all I got for now. I'm having contractions in the evenings, but nothing real. I hope I don't do this for weeks on end. I'd kind of like to have a baby by the time you're here.
