a happy (first) mother's day!
Yesterday was a dream come true. I know that my dream really came true the day Sprout was born, but yesterday it all hit me in a new way: I'm a mom! After waiting so long, to finally have this little sweetheart with us, is indescribably wonderful.
Coincidentally, my best childhood friend H flew in for the weekend, and was good for lots of auntie games and kisses:
And here's an extra fun yarn porn shot for good measure (because, as I've said before, if you can't be knitting, you can always stash).
Isn't Socks that Rock amazing? I love that Blue Moon Fiber Arts is fearless with color. I bought them online so was a little disappointed that Lucy didn't have more blue in it, like in the online picture. Can't wait to knit these up. I did some stash organizing yesterday (three large Ziploc bags is my whole stash, so it didn't take long), and I'm committed to finishing the last item I have OTS (my brother's alpaca muffler) and then knitting up those projects that I've actually already wound into balls, so they don't stay stretched out any longer than they already have been.

Sprout borrows his middle name from four people: my dad and brother and two of B's best friends. Here's one of them, fresh from running a Mother's Day half-marathon, right before the brunch mimosa and Percodan kicked in:
B brought me white roses and "helped" Sprout buy me a beautiful gift from our local jeweler. After years of Christmas/birthday/ anniversary gifts, the owner knows B and has been waiting for baby's arrival. Apparently he no sooner started looking in the case when she liberated Sprout from the carrier and started loving on him. I know people love babies in general, but this kid is a traffic stopper! (He sure didn't get it from me--I just downloaded two pictures of me that look like I'm a 70-year-old meth user cross-addicted to HoHos).

I haven't stopped by your blog in a while but was able to check it out tonight. I wanted to say that the picture of you and your baby is so touching. You look so happy and that's what motherhood is all about.
You're so kind--I wish that were me! It's actually a picture of my best friend and Bennett. I will put up a picture of me and baby as soon as I take one that I can stand to look at!
