The man who changed my life...

... and my sleep pattern. The little guy is still waking a lot at night.








I will try, I promise, to write a bit more, but I don't know when. My days and hands are full with the little guy who's far from being a good sleeper and is teething canines right now.
I miss you all. And I miss sewing so bad that I'm dreaming about it at night :)

Glad to hear from you Laura. The little boy is very handsome. All the best to you and your family..!!

Laura, I am so excited for you. Somehow I missed your previous two posts. I've been a bit busy making a baby myself lately, sleep eludes me, and it's harder to blog, as you know. I've been doing updates on my pregnancy, though, and only a little sewing. It's funny, I was just thinking about you this morning, not even knowing that you had posted, wondering how you were doing and what was keeping you away for so long and hoping you were okay. So I am so relieved and thrilled to hear your good news.

Enjoy your little man. I'm looking forward to my new little one. She's due in seven or eight weeks. She is No. 6 for us. Our oldest is 22 and just graduated from college. Life is busy. Take care. And I look forward to when you can post again.

Trudy said...

I forgot to mention how adorable the new man in your life is.

Congratulations on your beautiful baby boy! What a sweet little guy he is. No wonder you haven't been sewing. Don't worry, you'll squeeze in time for it again, but don't rush it. Just enjoy every single minute that you and your husband have with your son. Sewing can wait. :)

Your boy looks beautiful. Sewing won't go away but you never get this time with your child again. Enjoy it as it goes so quickly. Last week my boy was like yours; this week he is seven. I love having a boy!

Laura - thanks so much for sharing the pics of your gorgeous little man! There is a time for everything and this time with him goes so fast (tho I'm sure it doesn't feel that way during those sleepless nights!) We will all be here waiting for you to come back to your sewing machine...and totally understand why you are away from it! Enjoy him he truly is beautiful!

Patricia said...

He is beautiful.
I found it is too hard to try to manage both when they are so little. He won't be so little always.
Sewing can wait just a little longer.

CarlaF-in Atlanta said...

He's so handsome. Sewing will be there when you have the time again and so will your blog family :)

melissa said...

Oh he's truly adorable! I think you've got your priorities exactly right. :)

Adelaide B said...

He's adorable!

Melissa said...

What an adorable little guy! And don't worry about your blog - really spending time with him is WAY more important. I hope he starts to sleep better for you soon.

Darci said...

Holy cats, you two made an adorable baby! Hope you enjoy the heck out of him, but find some time to sew for yourself. :)

narcissaqtpie said...

Awww what a cutie! It's good that you're dreaming about sewing because dreams can come true! In the meantime we will all be patient while your new "man" is coming along in the world.

Congratulations and have fun with the new man in your life!

Shawnta said...

Awwww he is so handsome!!! I've really missed your posts but happy that all is well in mommyhood and like everyone else said we'll be here when you can return.

Gisa said...

Parabéns pelo bebê! Ele é belo!

Lorraine Frischkorn said...

So glad to hear from you! I was worried, hoping that you were OK, since you hadn't posted in a long time. You both are so lucky to have this sweet child. Take your time getting to your sewing machine for garment making. Perhaps you can make something a little bit at a time that doesn't need fitting, such as a purse or hat, or something for your little one. Even a bit of hand sewing, or maybe a small embroidery piece might be relaxing, a few minutes at at time, as it wouldn't be a big sewing project. I'm a mom of two grown sons, and grandmother of a wonderful granddaughter! So lucky am I!

Lori said...

So happy to hear from you Laura, your son is adorable.

Bonnie O. said...

Your little man is beautiful! Thank you for sharing the photos. Enjoy this wonderful time - I think my baby days were my most favorite times EVER and I wouldn't trade those memories for anything.

Kitty Couture said...

Laura, it's so good to hear from you! I think of you often. Your little guy is so handsome! Take care!

Kay said...

Go good to hear from you, Laura... Your little boy is adorable!!

How nice to hear from you. What a sweet little boy you have.
Hello Matei, happy birthday!

Regards from Judy in Montreal

laura said...

I couldn't believe how all time consuming a baby could be when I had my first (28 years ago), but they surely are.
Your little guy is adorable and believe me, sewing supplies and fabrics etc...are not going to disappear any time soon. The day will come when you'll be able to ease yourself back into it. And a wonderful thing about sewing for kids is; there are virtually no fitting issues and you can really zip out some fun stuff for them!

Laura, I'm so glad you posted! Thanks for the pics of your adorable son. Enjoy this time with him, and we' all have fun seeing you get back to sewing when you're ready. Blessings to you and your husband and your handsome son!

Happy 1st Birthday to you little man!

Margi said...

If adorable had a photo your sweet boy would be it! Thank you for sharing and so good to hear from you. I am one with the desire to sew as there has not been enough time. All the best to you and your family! Margi

Dana said...

What beautiful pictures! Even if you're not sewing it's nice to hear from you. I agree with others, even if it hurts - enjoy him first, the sewing will return.

AlaskaBerninaGirl said...

One word: Adorable! Enjoy every second of being with your family!

Lisette M said...

It's amazing how such a small person can change your life =) Glad to hear you are doing well and looking forward to hearing more from you. It will get a little bit easier!

The 'little man' that changed my life turns 30 this year and together with his wife will be giving us our first grandchild in November...a little girl. Parenthood is one of the most rewarding adventures - ENJOY!!! You have a beautiful family.

Sewingadicta said...

Oh yay! Your new man is really adorable, I'm happy to hear from you and a little impatient to know more about your sewing, ahhhh, time, time ...

Teddylyn said...

Congratulations on your beautiful family! Sew when you can, but cherish the moments with your little man. Thanks so much for sharing!

Congratulations! He is gorgeous.
We can wait for you to get back to sewing ~ it will be worth it and your little guy needs you more rihjt now :))))

Audrey said...

Has it really been over a year since Matei was born?. He is so cute. I know what it is to be sleep deprived because of a little one. But it will pass. They grow up so fast.

MySummerTouch said...

I just found your blog and very happy, because you've sewn all that I want to sew! Congratulations with your little boy! he is very cute! Don't worry about sewing, you will get to it some time later, and it will be even more fun, becuse you will be sewing for him, and it means NO ALTERATIONS (!!!!) I know, I have my little girl.

Beautiful baby! Congratulations. With two lovely parents - it just is natural to have such a handsome little baby. Hope all is well for your family! Always enjoyed your blog in the past and just peeked in to see what is new. Forgive me for being so slow. :-)

Charlene McGill said...

I hate to sound so reduntant. However, I saw the picture of your little guy, my first thought was that he is so handsome then I read the other post.

Thanks for sharing!

I was just thinking of you the other day and dropped by to say a hi, Laura!

Hope life is treating you well and you are having a grand time with your kid and family! :)

Have fun!

sheila said...

According to the "Map the Sewintists" you are now in Brussels. Can this be true? Can we organise a Brussels sewing meet up?
