I always make afghans for new babies in the family. Of course, I procrastinated getting started on Kaiden's and he's due in less than 3 weeks! He's going to be a C section, so we know he'll be here on 2/28/11. Here's the afghan I'm making him, but I'm using a slightly different color scheme to match the nursery. I just hope I get the scale right on the granny squares! No time for mistakes.

You KNOW I will! You'll probably all get tired of seeing them! LOL! We haven't had a baby in quite a while. My youngest grandchild is 14. The baby's father is my oldest grandchild & he's 24.

He's bound to be gorgeous. I tell everyone that I'll take any baby and raise it if you promise to take it back on it's 13th birthday! LOL!! Babies are SO much easier than teenagers!

Kaiden came a few days early! He weighed 7lb 10oz and has a head full of dark hair. We had planned on being there for the birth since he was a scheduled C-section, but he paid no attention to the schedule! LOL! Brandi and Jeff aren't sure when she'll be released from the hospital so we're going to go down Saturday or Sunday, after they get home. Pictures to come...of course! And I'm still joining granny squares! :*: I've been crocheting for decades, but for some reason I'd never done them so it's been a little slow going.

Thanks for all the good wishes! And now it's time to start inundating you with pictures! As soon as I figure out how to upload to here. BTW, at the last minute they decided to spell his name with a "C", so he's Caiden!

Awww!! Congrats Great-Grandma!! I can't wait to see the pictures. I'm sure he's beautiful. But then I'm like you. I love babies and little ones.I've always said they go brain dead when they turn 13 and it doesn't come back till they are 25!! Enjoy spoiling him and rest those crocheting fingers. LOL!!

Got pictures of Caiden & his afghan. I'll be home late tonight and post...as soon as I find the cord for my camera! It's among the missing from the move. I still have some boxes in the garage and now I'll have to go through them!

Thanks ladies. He's a beautiful baby. No, I'm not biased! LOL! The afghans are a tradition, I always made afghans for the grandchildren and now I'll be making them for the great-grandchildren! I usually work on them when watching my favorite TV programs.
