Our little boy Jónatan was finally born 11th of November! 52 cm and 4 kg. Again I was overwhelmed with the same instant happiness and love that I experienced when I had Silja. It is a little bit different this time. Everything is more relaxed and yet I am panicking. I know this is my last one and I feel like I need to enjoy every moment and carve every detail of him and this time into my mind. Time is flying by and I can almost see him grow while nuzzling his adorable little baby feet and breathing in his baby scent.
When I had Silja, I had quite a few friends that didn’t have babies and I still remembered how annoying those parents that only talked about their babies were. I tried to be a bit careful not showing how completely taken I was with my baby. This time around most people around me have kids and I don’t really give a damn if I drive them and the rest insane! I am gonna enjoy every minute of this and talk as much about baby things as I want. Life is too short and harsh to not enjoy every single moment that brings you pleasure. The path to my two perfect children wasn’t easy and miracles should be celebrated!
I had lots of dreams during my pregnancy to sew up bunch of miniature baby clothes. Unfortunately, I was unable to. I simply couldn’t sit in front of the sewing machine more than few minutes at a time. I however set my mind to making at least one thing: the newcomer in the baby gadget world, a baby nest. I guess it was that nesting instinct that strikes you so hard during pregnancy. I really wanted to tidy, clean and shine every corner of my house. I was physically unable to do any of that so I spent the last of my energy making this little baby nest for Jónatan.
Anyways, this baby nest thing is new since I had Silja and it is really brilliant baby “technology”. A little nest that keeps my little boy cuddled up wherever he is lying. As swaddling is frowned upon in Norway this is the second best option to give him a little bit of womb feeling. He is easier to move around while lying in it and it feels safer to let him sleep in our bed in it. Easy to put him on the couch next to us and it gives him some protection from his active four year old big sister that cannot sit still for a minute. Its size can be adjusted so it will hopefully last for the first few months.
The pattern is from Stoff og Stil. Monkey fabric is from Joann and the other material is from Stoff og Stil.
Isn’t he adorable?
Hæhæ. Er að googla svona baby nest og fann þitt Hvernig efni er best? Jersey eða 100% bómull? P.s. Notuðuð þið hreiðrið mikið? Kv. Helga
100% Bómull. Ekki teyjuefni/jersey. Ég notaði hreiðrið helling. Svo mikið að maður sér að það er slitið 🙂 . Mjög fínt þegar maður hefur krílin í rúminu hjá manni eða bara ef þau liggja í sófanum eða fanginu á manni. Myndi mæla með meira vatti en það sem ég notaði og að sauma lítið ver undir höfuðið sem auðvelt er að skipta út ef það kemur smá gubb.
Snilld, profa þetta. Lúkkar sniðugt. Takk Gerður.
