Thank you all for the welcoming baby love! Time sure flies when you've got a little one - it's like I blinked and almost 3 months has gone by. Abby is growing so fast and we're slowly establishing a good schedule and it's starting to feel like things are going back to normal. I finally got back to running last week! And I started working from home again when Abby was about 1 month old.
In the meantime, I'm grateful to my baby carriers to give me a sense of normalcy and even better some freedom. I've been trying to make it a point to get out of the house.

My latest obsessions have been involving my sewing machine - all the projects take much less time. I've gone a little crazy and bought a snap press, joined a bunch of fabric co-ops and am now learning how to sew my own cloth diapers. Fun! I love learning new things!
I'm glad things are going so well for you and that you are adjusting well! Your spinning looks wonderful and I bet the snap press is fun to use.

Yay! So glad to hear that everything is going so well. I am 38 weeks along and am very excited for our little girl to join us on the outside. It's nice to hear from a new mom who is crafting, working, and getting out and about - very inspiring!
Which pattern(s) have you tried for the diapers? We've purchased a variety of brands, but I'd love to try to make some, too...

I'm thrilled to hear that you and Abby are doing well! It's great that you are establishing a schedule and feeling like things are back to normal.
Do you have a preference between the Moby and the Ergo?

Wonderful shots of you and Abby - you both look great! Your yarn is lovely, too - as always! After a long hiatus I am back knitting again too... I do find it so calming and relaxing. LAtely I am into shawlettes/kerchiefs/wraps...
I am looking forward to seeing more of you and Abby! :)))

Great to hear that all is well! What a sweetheart--I sure miss those infant snuggly days (although I still wear my three-year-old in the Ergo from time to time!).

So happy to see your post! I have a feeling we'll see Abby's first spun yarn sometime soon too -- she'll be watching closely from her carrier!
