Don’t you just love it when you receive an exciting surprise in the middle of an otherwise normal routine day? That exact thing happened to me a couple of weeks ago…
I was sitting in my gameroom catching up on e-mails when out of the blue I received a chat and video request from a longtime friend. “Are you there?” it said. My first thought was – How do I look? Am I still in my pajamas? – because video chats are a whole different ballgame, you know. Then the message said, “I really need to talk to you!” Then it didn’t really matter how I looked, I was worried. My friend, Herve, and his wife Mireia, were expecting a baby, but not for two more weeks. The good news is… Celia decided she wanted to enter this world a little bit early. Bless her heart! I just love babies who don’t make their parents sweat it out past the due date. I mean, after all, in our fast pace, instant messaging, get it when you want it world, how many of us are prepared to wait past any due date? I digress… Anyway, my family and I could not be more excited to celebrate the birth of Celia. And how fun – I had yet another reason to make a doll! She follows a new pattern I created for a nice full skirt, and she has a matching diaper tote with coordinating cloth diapers/burp pads. I love the new pattern and hope to make many more. My best wishes to Celia and her family – her big brother is very proud. I hope she and her new doll have many fun adventures together!
