the ultimate FO:
The Lamb was born on October 23, at 9:04 pm, weighing in at 7lbs 12.5oz, and measuring 19 inches long.
She’s utterly perfect. We are completely agog.
In baby knitting news, we realized when we got her home that all her hats were too small for her wee newborn head, so we made her a teeny hat right away. I’m working on a second teeny hat for her now, but it’s been slow going with the incessant nursing she’s doing. I need to figure out a way to knit and nurse at the same time.
The wool soakers I knit for her fit well and work perfectly. We love them. They’re much better than the PUL/plastic covers. We had her in a Thirsties cover for a day and a half at one point, but we noticed her butt was starting to get red. (The wool is breathable, so her butt is looking pretty great now.)
I will post a zillion baby-knitting photos eventually. In the meantime we’re sort of tied up with the getting-to-know you process. Taking care of a newborn is much harder work than I realized, especially the nursing.
News as it develops.
