Christi's Creative Crew: Sentimental Sunday

Have you been waiting to hear whether our newest grand baby was a boy or a girl?

Do you remember the baby card count-down I was doing on my blog?

Well, I am super happy to say that baby BOY, Oliver Caspian Waite was born (finally!) 2 weeks over due, on Monday, September 13th at 12:38 am. And even though he was content to wait 2 weeks to be born, when it was time to come - he came FAST!!

It was a long night for this grandma that stayed with the other three kiddos over night. (you never sleep well in someone else's bed/home.

This little bundle of joy weighed in at 6# 12 oz. (same weight as his daddy) and 20" long

Oliver's brother and sisters were so excited to meet him when he came home on Wednesday

Big brother, Sawyer, is 7 years old

Lily is almost 5 years old and Mercy is nearly 3-1/2 years

This is going to be one busy family!!

This is the card that I made, celebrating Oliver's birth

I had this card prepared for several weeks and was also prepared if it was a girl. I did not add the balloon, the bunny or the baby clothes until the baby was born.

This card was inspired by Bronwyn Eastly

I have had this idea saved for YEARS - planning to make it, but always chickened out. As I determined to make it for this grand baby I found that I had to purchase a pattern. I guess I am too Dutch to purchase tutorials when I am smart enough (normally) to figure it out on my own, and therefore, change it up to my liking. I will say that it took me a GOOD LONG TIME to figure it out, and I will not share the pattern here because it would not be right.

I used ALL FOR BABY Stamp Set and a retired Designer Paper in Pretty Peacock.
