Okay, Manimal helped a little bit, but I did all the carrying and pushing and stuff like that...and it's going to be really hard for me to resist shouting "I was in labor for 69 hours!" the next time I see a pregnant woman.And since then it's been nothing but nurse nurse nurse all the time, apparently my milk bar is open 24 hours a day whether I like it or not, and I have not mastered the art of nursing and knitting, although I've been told it's possible. And I have to get it figured out because he's teeny weeny and I need to knit more soakers since the ones that I made while pregnant come up to his armpits.
I will try not to turn this into a baby blog, but it will be very hard. Harder even than my resolution not to talk to him in baby talk. The day after he was born I had him sitting in my lap and I was cooing and gahing at him, and Rat Girl gave me a look somewhere between amazement and disgust and said "I have never heard you talk like that." So a certain amount of baby will probably sneak through, but I'll try to keep it knitting related.
See? It's not a baby, it's a baby in a knitted hat.
Ragnar...stupid happy mama.

that kid...it's perfect! he's got like the most perfect nostrils EVER. he's really the best accessory a knitter could hope for.
hope the memory of the 69 hrs of getting him are well faded.
I'm totally in awe. I mean, you've always been crafty, Ragnar, but this? Takes the cake.

69 hours, seriously?!? You are the WOMAN!! And he is everything that everyone else has said...cute, adorable, wonderful. Enjoy!
Amazing! Congrats to you and your family! Remember your blog about birth horror stories? Yes, I wanted the gory details because thats just the way, I am but of all the stories I've been told thus far your is indeed most fraught with frustrations. You are not only an amazing artist/crafter/maker, you are one beautiful powerful mama. Thank you for posting little P's pic!

Congrats! He's a cutie!
I will hold him and you can knit! Ok, I am not sure I can bounce him straight for the hour it might take you to knit him a new diaper holder. Can't wait to hear the baby talk, you must have been holding back as Manimal, Ratgirl and your parents were there. Does the little tyke have a blog name yet?
Congrats!
