Good job Ava! Love the colors, so different from the same old blue, pink and yellow! Looks like everyone was having a great time.

Beautiful gifts you made, Ava!!

I am thinking of you all as you head toward the big day! May everyone, both born and about-to-be-born, stay healthy and happy!

Thanks for this latest news!

By the way, your daughter is you a few years ago! Such an amazing resemblance! Temperment, too??

Have been thinking about your morning post since I read it a while ago.

Everythings been routine in my life, except for the anticipation of the babies arrival. Daughter is unbearably moody, she told me she couldn't
stand my "doting" and abruptly said "goodnight" at SIX THIRTY in the evening. WTH? ( So sorry dear daughter that I care. ) As always though
she will call and apologize for being short with me.

Have patience Ava. I know that it's hard and that your worried. But remember that it's extremely hard on her too. And she's the one feeling so very uncomfortable, every little ache and pain and twinge the baby makes. If I were her I know that all the bad crap would be continuously running thru my mind and I would be terrified of what could go wrong!!!

And worse? How many people in all are giving her their version advice? Telling her to take it easy? Telling her to sit and put her feet up or to lay down and nap? Not to do something? Or to make sure she does this or that something? She has got to be about ready to either pull her hair out or do self delivery!!!

She has a right to be moody and grumpy. To be short tempered. It's just unfortunate that those closest to her are the first one's in the line of fire and to feel the first burst!! Ya'll will get thru this Gramma!!! And just think of the reward!!!

ps. LOVE the colors and patten of the baby afghan!!

Will be keeping my fingers crossed and prayers winging!!!

Good job, Ava. Thanks for sharing the photos.
Sending more positive thoughts for all of you.

Thanks for sharing the photos and "bump" shots. The baby afghan looks so soft . . . really the colors.

Absolutely love the colors in the afghan and blanket! And you did a beautiful job on them. I've never liked pastel colors and for that same reason our nursey was in bright primary colors.

[snowball]

they looked so neat you know things are so different now I don't think the use of "traditional" colors is even thought of now I know that I don't unless that is all that is offered for what I want to do
looks like you had fun times
