I Have A Nephew! (+Crochet Update!)

Well folks, it's official! As of 9:58 pm est last night I am the proud aunt of an 8 lb 8 oz, 21" long boy :) His name is not official yet, so right now he's just 'my new little buddy'.

Isn't he cute? I pulled out the big guns (a.k.a. my real camera) and was a picture snapping lunatic. I couldn't help it - my photographer self can't be suppressed sometimes. I haven't had a chance to finesse them yet, but here are some of the pictures from last night just so you can all see how cute he is :)

I couldn't help but get a little artsy fartsy.

Look how proud dad looks with the grandparents!

So, this is sort of another side of the story, but we waited a long time. Like even after he was born ... and there was nothing wrong. It really reaffirmed my future birth plan of not being at a hospital. Anyway, while we waited I decided to make something. Kelly had purchased the book Cuddly Crochet by Stacey Trock (teacher of the Amigurumi Woodland Animals class on Craftsy) because she really loved this bib - and she never made it! So, I already had all the right colors of yarn and I decided to make it up for her. I started it earlier in the day and finished the actual bib part before going up to the hospital. I made all the little mouse pieces and put them on while we waited.

 It's the Sneaky Mouse Bib :) It's very teeny, so if I was to make any of the bibs from this book in the future I would definitely go up in hook size. But isn't it cute?!

 And look how nice and clean the back is!

Here it is on its new owner :) I think he likes it, what do you think?

So, we had a really exciting night! I'll be taking more pictures tonight with all the other family members who didn't get to stay and see him so I'll probably be posting more :) I'm an aunt! How weird is that?!
