Such a sweet baby! Congratulations! Im impressed with how much you've accomplished with a newborn. Your knitting is so beautiful; the sweater you're making for your neighbor will be such a wonderful gift.❤
Thank you so much! I have been enjoying watching you ladies while I get my little bits of stitchy time. Or all these late night nursing sessions LOL. Thanks for the company 😉.
Congratulations!! You are doing amazing with a newborn and a kiddie x. Your stitching is amazing, too. Be kind to yourself. You're doing amazing, and make sure you rest and just enjoy your family x
Congratulations again on the birth of your son! Soooo precious! You are doing great Mama!! I love that Terracotta and steely blue color combo!! 😍 That cardigan is looking AMAZING!!! I would love to sit and knit with you - your color work is SO GOOD! Happy Stitching!!
Congratulations on the baby! What a cute name! I'm amazed at the knitting you have done, since your baby was born. I knit too and I did when I had a baby, but I only managed very simple hats. I can't believe you are doing color work! Shetland wool can be very soft, I have some Shetland sheep and I love their wool, the sweaters you are making are incredible! I love the idea of heritage knitting.
Thank you so much! We are overjoyed. I am so jealous of your sheep. That is so cool! Do you spin their wool or anything? Thats always interested me but I never have tried spinning. The wool is so versatile and amazing!
So wonderful to see your video Megan. You are one superwoman to get that done with a newborn, and looking so fabulous. My children are adults now and I’m a grandmother but I remember well that incredible fatigue. Here’s hoping you get to catch up on your sleep soon. My only advice- stitch whatever you feel like whenever you feel like it. Start everything if you want, or start nothing. Whatever sparks joy in those oh too few moments to yourself. 😊 And as I tell my girls and my daughter in law; make sure you are looking after NUMBER 1. That’s YOU.
Thank you so much Susan 🥹🤍. Nights have been hard but I’m trying to nap when I can. Amira starts spring break soon and we will see how that goes! Two kiddos in the house all day. Yikes LOL. Luckily I have an amazing neighbor with a little one and a new baby as well so I’m thinking we will be hanging out a lot 🤣🤍
It's great to see you. Your baby is absolutely precious. Hope you can start sleeping a bit more. Sending light and love to you and your beautiful family.
Congratulations on your little son! Your stitching and knitting projects are beautiful. Sending prayers for health and happiness for you and each off your family members❤.
Life is short! Start the Spring Quaker! ❤❤ I am currently stitching both Lila's Studios Summer and Autumn quakers on 20ct aida with the called for DMC and I'm loving them. I break them out into chunks and stitch on each for 4 or 5 days a month to try and get them done in a year. Congrats on the birth of your sweet baby boy!
Those would be PERFECT on 20ct Aida! I did order some fabric and did snag a cut of 20ct Aida while late night nursing lol. Maybe I will like it for the spring Quaker. I didn’t end up starting it but did start another piece 🤣🤍. Couldn’t make up my mind!
Love love loved hearing the baby squeaks in the background! I am pregnant with a boy and have a preschooler daughter so it’s been fun to watch your journey! Sending you sleepy baby vibes!!!
Congratulations! Welcome to the world precious baby!!! ❤❤❤ That newborn phase is somehow the hardest and easiest part of parenting 😂. And I don’t miss it and miss it sooo much too!
Hahaha yes!!! I forgot how hard it is. I feel like my daughter was such an easy baby but maybe I just forgot because the lack of sleep back then too 😂😂
All I can say is Thankyou thankyou thankyou !!! Love your videos and for you to use your precious free time just after having your baby to do a video for us is beyond amazing.
It was great to see your video. Congratulations to you and your family. Continued prayers for you and your son. Hopefully you will get more sleep soon.
I am so pleased for you. Congratulations! I wasn’t expecting to see you back so soon! My little boy lost weight and I had to use formula alongside nursing but it turned out to be the best thing I did because my husband and daughter loved being able to feed him sometimes and it meant I was able to get a bit more sleep now and then when I really needed it.
Thank you! Yes without the formula he would literally of starved. Poor guy, I am happy to report after his tongue tie surgery he has gained a pound! 🥰🤍
Best wishes to you and your family. I do have a stitching tip for the basket. I scan and print the pages of a large motif that is on separate pages. Then I cut and tape it together to eliminate all the overlapped stitches. Voila you end up with all the stitches on one page that is much easier to stitch.
Yay 🎉so happy you all are healthy and happy. My daughter had colic the first year she was born so sleep is magical to me and brain fog is horrible. Beautiful sweaters! The color work is amazing.
Girl I was so happy to see this video pop up. Thank you for sharing your precious time with us. I love everything you showed as always. That Teresa Kogut has me wanting to start it. After seeing it here and seeing it on your ig… shew. It’s pretty. I say go on and start the spring piece girl. You already have it. You have the floss. It will always bring back memories of this time for you when you look at it years from now ❤
So happy to see you posted 😊 Congratulations! Do. The. Start. ❤ I just purchased my first Lilas (Autumn is as Joyful) last week and plan to stitch with DMC. No start plans, but if you start, then I should too! And I agree about that flax neutral… your Welcome stitch does look amazing
Thank you, Jennifer!! Aren’t those Lila’s audio patterns so cute! They have so many good ones I’m obsessed. I have the Halloween Quaker one started too lol. I might start it this weekend if I get time. Amira has a birthday party so who knows when I’ll get my stitching in. We’ll see! 😆💜
I am so happy to hear all is well with your baby. Great Big Sister and hubby are good helpers. Also glad your c-section went well. I had three myself over 40 yrs ago. Loved you projects! Go ahead and do your new start!! You deserve to comfort yourself. Continued prayers.
I also love spring quaker! It's so beautiful! I think Memphis Sarah E just started a SAL with it and started it recently... so of course that means you should as well haha :). So glad Malachai is gaining weight and healthy! So happy for you and your family!
Thank you for the wonderful video. Enjoyed seeing your lovely stitching and knitting. I'm glad you and your family are doing well. Malakai is adorable. So glad he's doing well with his weight, etc. Have a great rest of your week!
You look so beautiful, and not tired at all! Enjoy every minute of having a sweet young family❤ your knitting is so lovely and come into the garden is really coming along!!!! Take care of you and sleep whenever the baby sleeps
Thank you! We are definitely adjusting and enjoying life with two kiddos. Feels strange to say we have two! lol I’m getting as much sleep as I can for sure.
Congratulations to you and your family!! You look wonderful after a c section and little sleep. I’m glad you did this video for us!! Excellent personal mom time, I’m sure you needed, and besides, we missed you, so it all works. Your sweaters are beautiful!!
Congratulations on the birth of your son. Sounds like you have a great amount of support, which is wonderful. Your Halloween Welcome looks so fun, and your knitting is amazing. Even after 30+ years of knitting, colourwork still intimidates me. I want to give it a go this year.
So happy to see your video pop up. I’m amazed you have found the time to do it and also had time to stitch. Congratulations on the birth of your wonderful son. Sleep and rest when you can and enjoy your life.❤❤❤
So good to see you again. I need to ship the yarn, im soooo sorry i havent sent yet 😍🙏🤷♀️ but IT Will come, have a lovly easter and happy to see you and your stunning stitching and knitting! I really love the spring quaker!!!! I have to get that!😍🙏
No rush at all. You’re amazingly kind and I appreciate you so much!! Happy Easter to you as well I hope you get to spend some time with your family. 🩷🩷🩷
Enjoyed your video. First timer for me. I literally LOL when you were talking about your sleep and stating you aren't looking for advice. 😂 You know it wld have been coming! Congrats on your new baby!
Thank you so much for taking the time to make a video for us! ❤Totally understand if you didn't! I'm so glad to hear you and your family are doing good. And girl... if you want to start that quaker, START IT! You deserve all what makes you happy! 😍
I ordered more Flossdrops last night! 😆🤍 I want to start it asap it’s so cute. I’m not much of a spring person but I feel like having kids made me like the warm weather more. Finally get outside! Anyway thank you for watching! And happy stitching 🥰🩷
Thank you! I want to try to get back into some kind of routine with filming for sure. I know it’ll be sporadic for a while so I appreciate you guys sticking around. 💜
Hey, Megan! First I want to say congratulations on your new addition! I think we all absolutely appreciate you even taking the time to film for us with all that you have going on! I just got into cross stitching and I absolutely love your videos 🫶
Congrats. Sending hugs and well wishes. So wonderful to hear your son has gained weight and your husband is so helpful. Please use your time to care for your family and sleep and not worry about responding to us. ❤
It really does! Daniel and I were just talking about that. We can’t believe Amira is six already and how time has flown. It’ll pass before I know it and I’m sure some day I will miss it.
Enjoy your little son, as you know they are not infants long. Take care of yourself and give yourself grace during this time. Come to the Garden is beautiful.
I hope you get more sleep soon! Mine all came at 40+ weeks, hoping my fourth that is due soon comes before then. 😅 My second and third both got their days/nights flipped for about two weeks around two weeks old. It was rough, and always once dad had to go back to work. I was always told to nap when baby napped… but mine seemed to rarely nap during the day, or I had to do other things during that time. ❤
My first was the same! She was almost a week past her due date. I was miserable lol 😆. That’s Malakai, he naps so much during the day but it’s hard when you have other kids and responsibilities or just a million doctors appointments 🙃😅.
Probably too busy to read comments but you are doing great:). Thanks for the update...rules when you have a new baby are....DO WHAT YOU WANT....don't apologize for anything....you get a pass for anything and everything...your job is to take care of yourself! Thanks for the videos and keeping me company while I stitch and knit;)
Thank you!! I ordered Flossdrops so I could start a new project lol 😆. It’s been hard to get sleep but I definitely am trying to take care of myself and get some rest. 🤍🥰
It’s so good to see you and to hear how well you’re doing. I’m glad the news about your son is positive and that Amira is doing well also. Your stitching looks great and I love your knitting! I think you should start the new project because you want to and you deserve it. If you find you make too many mistakes you can put it aside for days when you get more sleep. 😴 take care and hug your family.
Thank you, Linda! You’re so right. I can just put it away if I’m messing it up too bad lol 😆. I feel like I’m doing that a lot this past three weeks. Knitting tends to just be easier for me mentally I think because I learned so young. Hopefully I get more stitching time in the next couple weeks though.
Congratulations on precious Malachai!!! He’s gorgeous. I’m so grateful he’s doing well now that his tongue tie has been fixed, and continues to be healthy. You look fantastic, and your WIPs are awesome as always!! For me birthdays are on the level of Christmas and Thanksgiving. It is YOUR day. I feel bad for people who are Leap Babies. You only get that ONE DAY every four years. I realize people adjust or see it differently when Leap Day is their birthday … I cannot help how I feel. I just respect it, and go on. A lot of my coworkers feel that way as well (Labor & Delivery nurse here). I was 6 when my baby brother was born. I did not want another brother. I already had one. I wanted a sister. I refused to acknowledge his presence on the face of the planet for the first 2 weeks of his life, 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣 Mom said once he came home I pushed her aside and took over taking care of him… not sure if that is accurate, and my mom is now gone, so I guess the story will continue to live as legend 😂😂. I guess you could say I got my revenge when I gave him chicken pox at 3 months of age!! 😅😅 Please get some rest and healing as well as bonding with that beautiful babe. You will be back when you are ready and we will be here waiting!! ❤❤❤
Haha I wanted my kids to have separate months for their birthdays because we do special things all month to make their birthday month all about them hence why we picked February 😋🤍. No need to worry about him feeling like he has his special day. He definitely will and not just every four years. 🩷
@@TheSeattleStitcher one of my best friends is a Leap Day baby. She celebrates all month. She turned 15 this year! The two brothers I have are 3 years and 364 days apart. The baby brother was born the day before the older of my two brothers’ birthday!! Mom wanted them on the same day, however the doctor only did surgery on Tuesdays and Thursdays and the older brother’s birthday was Wednesday… *hugs* to you!!!
Hi, sweet girl!! I say, YES, by all means, start Spring Quaker!! It’s so you, and life is way to short to deny yourself this gorgeous project, which is such an innocent pleasure ☺️. Besides, it will be relaxing therapy for you. Plus, I have loved that chart ever since I first saw it 😅. Both your sweaters are so, so beautiful! I love your color choices. Sending you oceans of love, and mountains of prayers and good wishes!! Love you so much! 🙏💗 Meline
So wonderful to see you, Megan! So sorry to hear the little man has his days and nights flipped. I also went through that and it is SO exhausting. I’ll send prayers that everyone’s sleep schedules improve quickly. As for the new start question, I say “New life, new start!” 😂😂 Take care of yourself! Sending love and hugs.
Thank you 🥹🥹. Seriously it’s been such a struggle. The doc told me to wake him every two hours during the day and try to keep him awake but after being up all night you’re so tired that it’s just nice to finally have him sleeping and get some stitching or knitting time LOL. I need to get more strict but it’s so hard to keep him awake. After he feeds he passes out so all day he just takes short naps.
You look amazing and I’m so happy for the update. No sleep is the worst and hardest part of pregnancy and babies. Try to sleep when you can, keeping you all in my prayers.
It really is! I forgot how sleep deprived you get with a new born. My daughter was such an easy baby I think I took it for granted lol. Having a harder time this round but it’s all worth it. 🤍
Your cardigan is beautiful, and I love that color combination, as well! So happy to hear your family is doing well. and that your newborn is healthy and gaining weight. Happy stitching and good sleep!
Hi Megan. I was so glad to see a video pop up from you although I was shocked that you would have the energy to film one! Congratulations and continued prayers for Malakai (love the name) you and your sweet family. He's beautiful and you look radiant:)
Thank you so much! I didn’t plan on filming today but so glad I was able to. I missed talking to you guys 🥲💜. We took a long time finding a name we liked and we are so happy with Malakai. A little twist with it being Kai instead or chi at the end, we love it!
There’s a Spring Quaker by Lila’s Studio?!?! Ohhhh……😂. I’m in trouble. I need to start a list. You got a lot done since baby was born! Babies keep you up, you can rest when he gets his sleep schedule regulated. Hang in there! Btw…you are looking fantastic for just having a baby and being sleep deprived. 😊. Sweaters are beautiful! I’m mostly Norwegian too!
I didn’t know you were mostly Norwegian! How cool 🇳🇴. I definitely am trying to get as much sleep as I can even if it’s a super short nap in the day lol. I am so tired!
Congratulations to you once again :) you are amazing: having a newborn and a daughter, and still finding time to craft so much! I know how hard it can be but you are strong and have a great support, I wish you more sleep soon and lots and lots of prayers your way :) ❤️
I love that! Idk why people have so much to say about leap day birthdays lol. You’d think it was a curse! 😆 I never knew it was such a strong opinion 🤣
Gurl. #startallthethings #nochartleftbehind Story time. In 2018, I had my 4th baby in April. I also turned 42 that year. I decided to start 42 projects to celebrate. I convinced Michelle Bendy to join me in this insanity. We ended up starting 60 projects between my bday and the end of the year. My bday is Nov 6. LOLOLOLOL
Congratulations to all of you. Your Baby is so cute and so adorable. Now Amari has a baby brother. I love all of your WIPS - they are so pretty. C Love your Knitting - the Colors are so pretty. Please take care of yourself Megan and your cute adorable son. I am still recovering from my Surgery. All I want to do is just do nothing and just sleep. I am improving and I now have 90% use of my left arm. I can drive again which I am so happy about. I am still doing Therapy and I am still under my Doctor’s Care yet. Take Care & Happy Stitching - Knitting ❤️🤗🙏☺️🧵🪡🧵❤️
Yayyyyy! I am so happy for the update I’ve been thinking about you. Must be so nice to drive again. I wasn’t able to drive while on the pain meds and it drove me nuts! And that was only a couple weeks lol. Still need to have my next checkup to see if I can start working out again etc but I can’t wait. Take care my friend! Thank you for spending time with me. 🤍🤍🤍🤍
@@TheSeattleStitcher - I could not drive for 6 weeks - I was getting so bored. Thank you for thinking about me. I was in 7th Heaven last night when I got in my car and drove around town for a while. I hope you are feeling better and healing up from having your cute adorable son. Speaking of IV’s - when I had my Pre Surgery Blood Test done - the girl blew my Vein out. I could only do one Vial of Blood instead of two. I told my Surgery Nurse what happen and thank goodness my hand healed up before I had to have my Surgery. The only place they can put a IV in me is my right hand. Love you Megan - Please take it easy. ❤️🤗🙏🧵🪡🧵❤️
Congrats, you have a beautiful family. Love all your projects. Knitting looks really nice. Wondering when you stitch on 36 count , you stitch 2 over 2?.
Typically I stitch 1x2 on 36ct, it’s just my preference but occasionally I’ll do 2x2 if the stitches just aren’t full enough. I am doing 2x2 on my welcome Halloween sign for instance but 1x2 for my come to the garden. Both on 36ct. 🥰
Hello Beautiful Lady, I have to agree with everyone else who has said that you look incredible. You do look amazing. But even more, your face has changed. Besides looking fantastic, you also look more mature, as if you have found some incredible wisdom and it has been so remarkable and deep in its effects, that it has changed you right into your very bones. I think you are more beautiful than ever. Congratulations on birthing a bright new baby boy. As to stitching, your work is really lovely. Your stitches look so even and consistent. Another congratulations are due. Oh, And I love Lila's studio Spring Quaker. I, too, have it and want to stitch it. I won't start mine right now because I have to finish Martha Evans first. But, I am looking forward to that one as well. Grab your Zzzzz's when you can and keep on loving on that little guy and keep taking care of yourself, too.
Thank you so so much for your kindness. 🥹 I am grateful to have had a healthy baby and we are so overjoyed. Pregnancy was really hard on me and I think it was magnified by the worrying if he would be okay. I’m so glad he’s here now. We are so tired haha but it’s all worth it. Feeling so blessed. Yes, definitely sleeping when I can! And as much as I can. I usually nap some time in the afternoon when I get a chance but have that up today to film. 😋 Happy Stitching, friend. Hope you are well.
I am so glad you and baby are doing great, gives me hope I can do this when mine comes in June. I loved that your daughter name is Amira (think that’s how you spelled it) cuz I am naming my daughter Amara 36:12 tell you daughter happy late birthday 🎉
Megan I had to run as GrandKiddos bombarded the house…..You look beautiful……I hesitate to ask….and no rush ever….I tried Ravelry for your delightful Beanie Hat You make for your husband and family……but it would not come up…..any hints or ideas…..I have looked at many hat patterns for making my Grandkids hats and yours always looks the finest……once again NO Rush…..
www.ravelry.com/projects/mamamadevm/simple-beanie Here is my project page, in the notes is all the details on how I knit them. This cast on amount it for an adult hat though. For a kiddo depending on the age I would cast on less stitches. I know a lot of it depends on people’s gauge but I knit them at a tight gage with fingering weight so even if I knit Amira a hat it’s still 112 stitches or so with a us2 needle.
Megan, I'm watching your TouTube right now, and you were talking about your sampler where you stitched your name. You mentioned adding something after your name. What about a small baby to celebrate your new baby boy?
Hi ,its me cucki. Congratulations for your baby.i need to ask you about thea Gouverneur kit.i love it so much.i was looking for it.finally I found it .the person send me the picture of the fabric. Is it a right color ? The one you stitching as well. Some kits have red fabric and I dont like it. Please do guide me.its an expensive kit. I dont want to just buy it. Thank you. Love cucki x I've sent you the picture on the Instagram message as well. Thank you
Hope you found a kit you liked. I know I talked to the owner of the local cross stitch shop to me and she did mention that she felt some of the kits had a more red toned fabric. I hope you find an older one with the more coral color.
@@TheSeattleStitcherhi thank you for your reply. Yes you are right. Some of them are with red color fabric and I dont like that one. I spoke to the thea Gouverneur people and they said they will try to arrange the one with coral material. Finger crossed. Have a great day. Smiles cucki.
Not having children, I can't even imagine how tired you are, but thank you for filming! You look great! And, your stitching is beautiful as usual!
Such a sweet baby! Congratulations! Im impressed with how much you've accomplished with a newborn. Your knitting is so beautiful; the sweater you're making for your neighbor will be such a wonderful gift.❤

I do have a stitching tip for the basket. I scan and print the pages of a large motif that is on separate pages. Then I cut and tape it together to eliminate all the overlapped stitches. Voila you end up with all the stitches on one page that is much easier to stitch.
I seriously need to do this! Thank you. ☺️
Congratulations!!!!! Your son is so precious and a true miracle! Miracles do happen every day, praying for continued peace, health and sleep!
Thank you so much! 😊
I’m in awe you were able to film so quickly and find time to stitch and knit! You’re amazing! So happy for the good news on your son. ❤😊
Thank you so much! I am definitely tired lol but trying to still film when I can. 🥰
Yay 🎉so happy you all are healthy and happy. My daughter had colic the first year she was born so sleep is magical to me and brain fog is horrible. Beautiful sweaters! The color work is amazing.

You look so beautiful, and not tired at all! Enjoy every minute of having a sweet young family❤ your knitting is so lovely and come into the garden is really coming along!!!! Take care of you and sleep whenever the baby sleeps
Thank you! We are definitely adjusting and enjoying life with two kiddos. Feels strange to say we have two! lol I’m getting as much sleep as I can for sure.
Congratulations to you and your family!! You look wonderful after a c section and little sleep. I’m glad you did this video for us!! Excellent personal mom time, I’m sure you needed, and besides, we missed you, so it all works. Your sweaters are beautiful!!
Thank you so much for watching! And for the kind words. It’s so nice to visit with everyone again in the comments. I missed y’all!
Congratulations on the birth of your son. Sounds like you have a great amount of support, which is wonderful. Your Halloween Welcome looks so fun, and your knitting is amazing. Even after 30+ years of knitting, colourwork still intimidates me. I want to give it a go this year.
Thank you so much! I hope you try out some colorwork. It’s so much fun 🤩
So happy to see your video pop up. I’m amazed you have found the time to do it and also had time to stitch. Congratulations on the birth of your wonderful son. Sleep and rest when you can and enjoy your life.❤❤❤
Thank you so much!😊

And I’m so happy that Malakai is healthy. Sending loads of love to your little family 🫶🏻
Thank you!! ☺️
Enjoyed your video. First timer for me. I literally LOL when you were talking about your sleep and stating you aren't looking for advice. 😂 You know it wld have been coming! Congrats on your new baby!
LOL I’ll just get overwhelmed and cry okay 🤣🤣🤣 so glad everyone understands too. I’m honestly forgot how hard these first few weeks are!
Congratulations on the new baby! I just started Spring Quaker for the first day of spring. You should definitely start it!
Thank you! I’m totally going to 🤩🤩
Thank you so much for taking the time to make a video for us! ❤Totally understand if you didn't! I'm so glad to hear you and your family are doing good. And girl... if you want to start that quaker, START IT! You deserve all what makes you happy! 😍
I ordered more Flossdrops last night! 😆🤍 I want to start it asap it’s so cute. I’m not much of a spring person but I feel like having kids made me like the warm weather more. Finally get outside! Anyway thank you for watching! And happy stitching 🥰🩷
Thank you for taking time to share your video. Always love your stitching. So happy you’re all doing well. Continued prayers to you all🙏🏻💕
Thank you! I want to try to get back into some kind of routine with filming for sure. I know it’ll be sporadic for a while so I appreciate you guys sticking around. 💜
Hey, Megan! First I want to say congratulations on your new addition! I think we all absolutely appreciate you even taking the time to film for us with all that you have going on! I just got into cross stitching and I absolutely love your videos 🫶
Thank you so much, Elizabeth! Happy stitching friend. 🤍
Congrats. Sending hugs and well wishes. So wonderful to hear your son has gained weight and your husband is so helpful. Please use your time to care for your family and sleep and not worry about responding to us. ❤
Thank you so much for understanding! 🙏🏻🤍
Congratulations on your handsome son, cherish every day. Happy stitching and knitting.
Thank you! We are so happy. 🩷🩷
Megan...congratulations on the birth of your son...wishing you the best ❤❤
Thank you so much ☺️
Congratulations! You look amazing! So glad Malachi is doing well. Your sweaters look great! Start whatever you want! Stitch what makes you happy!
Thank you Tami!
Congratulations! This is such a special tine for you and your family. Time goes by so quickly… savor every moment. Enjoyed your video.
It really does! Daniel and I were just talking about that. We can’t believe Amira is six already and how time has flown. It’ll pass before I know it and I’m sure some day I will miss it.
Screw being "good" ... be HAPPY and start something springy ;) Your son is adorable.
Thank you! 😋💜
Enjoy your little son, as you know they are not infants long. Take care of yourself and give yourself grace during this time. Come to the Garden is beautiful.
Thank you, Cindy! 🤍🤍
Thank you for the sweet update! Prayers and hugs! ❤❤❤
Thank you ☺️😊
Wow your strawberry basket pattern is amazing ❤
Thank you!
I hope you get more sleep soon! Mine all came at 40+ weeks, hoping my fourth that is due soon comes before then. 😅 My second and third both got their days/nights flipped for about two weeks around two weeks old. It was rough, and always once dad had to go back to work. I was always told to nap when baby napped… but mine seemed to rarely nap during the day, or I had to do other things during that time. ❤
My first was the same! She was almost a week past her due date. I was miserable lol 😆. That’s Malakai, he naps so much during the day but it’s hard when you have other kids and responsibilities or just a million doctors appointments 🙃😅.
So thankful for Gods blessings over your baby. You look radiant. 🖤
Thank you 🥹🤍
Probably too busy to read comments but you are doing great:). Thanks for the update...rules when you have a new baby are....DO WHAT YOU WANT....don't apologize for anything....you get a pass for anything and everything...your job is to take care of yourself! Thanks for the videos and keeping me company while I stitch and knit;)
Thank you!! I ordered Flossdrops so I could start a new project lol 😆. It’s been hard to get sleep but I definitely am trying to take care of myself and get some rest. 🤍🥰
Such wonderful blessings for your family! You look so happy.
Thank you so much! We are overjoyed 💜💜
Congratulations on your beautiful baby
Thank you ☺️
Congratulations. Take care of yourself.
Thank you 😊
I ordered that as soon as MS showed hers….l LOVE IT…..OH HIS GORGEOUS…….You My Child Are Perfect Just The Way You Are….
🥹🤍🤍🤍🤍 hope you’re doing well Sherry!
What a nice treat to see you, especially when we know you are busy.
Thank you for spending time with me 🤍
Congratulations Megan! Your baby is adorable and your daughter also. Take it easy and enjoy your beautiful family❤️
Thank you so much! We have been loving every minute. Sleep deprived and all 😋🩷
It’s so good to see you and to hear how well you’re doing. I’m glad the news about your son is positive and that Amira is doing well also. Your stitching looks great and I love your knitting! I think you should start the new project because you want to and you deserve it. If you find you make too many mistakes you can put it aside for days when you get more sleep. 😴 take care and hug your family.
Thank you, Linda! You’re so right. I can just put it away if I’m messing it up too bad lol 😆. I feel like I’m doing that a lot this past three weeks. Knitting tends to just be easier for me mentally I think because I learned so young. Hopefully I get more stitching time in the next couple weeks though.
Congratulations on precious Malachai!!! He’s gorgeous. I’m so grateful he’s doing well now that his tongue tie has been fixed, and continues to be healthy. You look fantastic, and your WIPs are awesome as always!!
For me birthdays are on the level of Christmas and Thanksgiving. It is YOUR day. I feel bad for people who are Leap Babies. You only get that ONE DAY every four years. I realize people adjust or see it differently when Leap Day is their birthday … I cannot help how I feel. I just respect it, and go on. A lot of my coworkers feel that way as well (Labor & Delivery nurse here).
I was 6 when my baby brother was born. I did not want another brother. I already had one. I wanted a sister. I refused to acknowledge his presence on the face of the planet for the first 2 weeks of his life, 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣 Mom said once he came home I pushed her aside and took over taking care of him… not sure if that is accurate, and my mom is now gone, so I guess the story will continue to live as legend 😂😂. I guess you could say I got my revenge when I gave him chicken pox at 3 months of age!! 😅😅 Please get some rest and healing as well as bonding with that beautiful babe. You will be back when you are ready and we will be here waiting!! ❤❤❤
Haha I wanted my kids to have separate months for their birthdays because we do special things all month to make their birthday month all about them hence why we picked February 😋🤍. No need to worry about him feeling like he has his special day. He definitely will and not just every four years. 🩷
@@TheSeattleStitcher one of my best friends is a Leap Day baby. She celebrates all month. She turned 15 this year! The two brothers I have are 3 years and 364 days apart. The baby brother was born the day before the older of my two brothers’ birthday!! Mom wanted them on the same day, however the doctor only did surgery on Tuesdays and Thursdays and the older brother’s birthday was Wednesday… *hugs* to you!!!
Hi, sweet girl!! I say, YES, by all means, start Spring Quaker!! It’s so you, and life is way to short to deny yourself this gorgeous project, which is such an innocent pleasure ☺️. Besides, it will be relaxing therapy for you. Plus, I have loved that chart ever since I first saw it 😅. Both your sweaters are so, so beautiful! I love your color choices. Sending you oceans of love, and mountains of prayers and good wishes!! Love you so much! 🙏💗
Meline
Thank you so much Meline! You’re the best. Love you 🥰 🥰
So wonderful to see you, Megan! So sorry to hear the little man has his days and nights flipped. I also went through that and it is SO exhausting. I’ll send prayers that everyone’s sleep schedules improve quickly. As for the new start question, I say “New life, new start!” 😂😂 Take care of yourself! Sending love and hugs.
Thank you 🥹🥹. Seriously it’s been such a struggle. The doc told me to wake him every two hours during the day and try to keep him awake but after being up all night you’re so tired that it’s just nice to finally have him sleeping and get some stitching or knitting time LOL. I need to get more strict but it’s so hard to keep him awake. After he feeds he passes out so all day he just takes short naps.
Welcome back, looking so good.
Thank you! 😊
You look amazing and I’m so happy for the update. No sleep is the worst and hardest part of pregnancy and babies. Try to sleep when you can, keeping you all in my prayers.
It really is! I forgot how sleep deprived you get with a new born. My daughter was such an easy baby I think I took it for granted lol. Having a harder time this round but it’s all worth it. 🤍
Baby is adorable!
Thank you ☺️
Your cardigan is beautiful, and I love that color combination, as well! So happy to hear your family is doing well. and that your newborn is healthy and gaining weight. Happy stitching and good sleep!
Thank you so much! Happy stitching. 🤍
Hi Megan. I was so glad to see a video pop up from you although I was shocked that you would have the energy to film one! Congratulations and continued prayers for Malakai (love the name) you and your sweet family. He's beautiful and you look radiant:)
Thank you so much! I didn’t plan on filming today but so glad I was able to. I missed talking to you guys 🥲💜. We took a long time finding a name we liked and we are so happy with Malakai. A little twist with it being Kai instead or chi at the end, we love it!
There’s a Spring Quaker by Lila’s Studio?!?! Ohhhh……😂. I’m in trouble. I need to start a list. You got a lot done since baby was born! Babies keep you up, you can rest when he gets his sleep schedule regulated. Hang in there! Btw…you are looking fantastic for just having a baby and being sleep deprived. 😊. Sweaters are beautiful! I’m mostly Norwegian too!
I didn’t know you were mostly Norwegian! How cool 🇳🇴. I definitely am trying to get as much sleep as I can even if it’s a super short nap in the day lol. I am so tired!
You look fantastic! Will continue to keep your family in my prayers. May God grant you good rest.
Thank you so much! 🙏🏻 🤍
Congratulations to you once again :) you are amazing: having a newborn and a daughter, and still finding time to craft so much! I know how hard it can be but you are strong and have a great support, I wish you more sleep soon and lots and lots of prayers your way :) ❤️
Thank you so much! Every day my husband is like “are you okay” lol! I must look really tired. 🤣🤍
Noo 😁 You look beautiful :)@@TheSeattleStitcher
Love stitching to your videos 💕☺️
Thank you 🥹💗
I got married on Leap day 2020- it makes every 4th anniversary extra special
I love that! Idk why people have so much to say about leap day birthdays lol. You’d think it was a curse! 😆 I never knew it was such a strong opinion 🤣
So excited to see you back. 🌻🪡🌻
💛💛💛💛
Congratulations & you are so beautiful. You have that new Mommy glow.
Thank you 🥹🤍
Gurl. #startallthethings #nochartleftbehind
Story time. In 2018, I had my 4th baby in April. I also turned 42 that year. I decided to start 42 projects to celebrate. I convinced Michelle Bendy to join me in this insanity. We ended up starting 60 projects between my bday and the end of the year. My bday is Nov 6. LOLOLOLOL
OMG LOL that’s insane and I love it. Myself and the girls started SO much last year we are trying to be good this year. 🤣💀🤍
Thanks!
Thank you 🥰🥰🥰
Congrats 🎉 ❤️🌎
Thank you ladies!! 🥰🤍
Congratulations to all of you. Your Baby is so cute and so adorable. Now Amari has a baby brother.
I love all of your WIPS - they are so pretty. C
Love your Knitting - the Colors are so pretty.
Please take care of yourself Megan and your cute adorable son.
I am still recovering from my Surgery. All I want to do is just do nothing and just sleep. I am improving and I now have 90% use of my left arm. I can drive again which I am so happy about. I am still doing Therapy and I am still under my Doctor’s Care yet.
Take Care & Happy Stitching - Knitting
❤️🤗🙏☺️🧵🪡🧵❤️
Yayyyyy! I am so happy for the update I’ve been thinking about you. Must be so nice to drive again. I wasn’t able to drive while on the pain meds and it drove me nuts! And that was only a couple weeks lol. Still need to have my next checkup to see if I can start working out again etc but I can’t wait. Take care my friend! Thank you for spending time with me. 🤍🤍🤍🤍
@@TheSeattleStitcher - I could not drive for 6 weeks - I was getting so bored. Thank you for thinking about me. I was in 7th Heaven last night when I got in my car and drove around town for a while. I hope you are feeling better and healing up from having your cute adorable son. Speaking of IV’s - when I had my Pre Surgery Blood Test done - the girl blew my Vein out. I could only do one Vial of Blood instead of two. I told my Surgery Nurse what happen and thank goodness my hand healed up before I had to have my Surgery. The only place they can put a IV in me is my right hand. Love you Megan - Please take it easy.
❤️🤗🙏🧵🪡🧵❤️
@@lindaklinedinst9236 and I love you Linda! You take it easy as well. I think we both need it at this rate haha. 🩷🩷
@@TheSeattleStitcher - Megan - I love you too - I will take it easy as well. Yes - we both need to do this ❤️🤗
Congratulations ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you, Kim! 🥰
Congrats, you have a beautiful family. Love all your projects. Knitting looks really nice. Wondering when you stitch on 36 count , you stitch 2 over 2?.
Typically I stitch 1x2 on 36ct, it’s just my preference but occasionally I’ll do 2x2 if the stitches just aren’t full enough. I am doing 2x2 on my welcome Halloween sign for instance but 1x2 for my come to the garden. Both on 36ct. 🥰
Hello Beautiful Lady, I have to agree with everyone else who has said that you look incredible. You do look amazing. But even more, your face has changed. Besides looking fantastic, you also look more mature, as if you have found some incredible wisdom and it has been so remarkable and deep in its effects, that it has changed you right into your very bones. I think you are more beautiful than ever. Congratulations on birthing a bright new baby boy.
As to stitching, your work is really lovely. Your stitches look so even and consistent. Another congratulations are due. Oh, And I love Lila's studio Spring Quaker. I, too, have it and want to stitch it. I won't start mine right now because I have to finish Martha Evans first. But, I am looking forward to that one as well.
Grab your Zzzzz's when you can and keep on loving on that little guy and keep taking care of yourself, too.
Thank you so so much for your kindness. 🥹 I am grateful to have had a healthy baby and we are so overjoyed. Pregnancy was really hard on me and I think it was magnified by the worrying if he would be okay. I’m so glad he’s here now. We are so tired haha but it’s all worth it. Feeling so blessed. Yes, definitely sleeping when I can! And as much as I can. I usually nap some time in the afternoon when I get a chance but have that up today to film. 😋 Happy Stitching, friend. Hope you are well.
I am so glad you and baby are doing great, gives me hope I can do this when mine comes in June. I loved that your daughter name is Amira (think that’s how you spelled it) cuz I am naming my daughter Amara 36:12 tell you daughter happy late birthday 🎉
Yes, Amira! Thank you. 😊 Amara is such a cute name too. Congratulations on your pregnancy hoping it is a safe and happy delivery for you 🙏🏻🤍🤍🤍
Megan I had to run as GrandKiddos bombarded the house…..You look beautiful……I hesitate to ask….and no rush ever….I tried Ravelry for your delightful Beanie Hat You make for your husband and family……but it would not come up…..any hints or ideas…..I have looked at many hat patterns for making my Grandkids hats and yours always looks the finest……once again NO Rush…..
www.ravelry.com/projects/mamamadevm/simple-beanie
Here is my project page, in the notes is all the details on how I knit them. This cast on amount it for an adult hat though. For a kiddo depending on the age I would cast on less stitches. I know a lot of it depends on people’s gauge but I knit them at a tight gage with fingering weight so even if I knit Amira a hat it’s still 112 stitches or so with a us2 needle.
Megan, I'm watching your TouTube right now, and you were talking about your sampler where you stitched your name. You mentioned adding something after your name. What about a small baby to celebrate your new baby boy?
Omg what a good idea. If I can find something that works with the design over all I am totally going to do that. Thank you!
What white are you using on your Drawn Thread Halloween piece? 👻
I am using Blanc for the white on 32ct flax linen.
Oh My He is Here……
He is!! 🥰🥰🥰
Your sweater you are knitting is so beautiful 🧶
Thank you! 😊
Congratulations on the birth of your son! Take good care of yourself and your little one.
Thank you! 🥰💗
Hi ,its me cucki. Congratulations for your baby.i need to ask you about thea Gouverneur kit.i love it so much.i was looking for it.finally I found it .the person send me the picture of the fabric. Is it a right color ? The one you stitching as well. Some kits have red fabric and I dont like it. Please do guide me.its an expensive kit. I dont want to just buy it. Thank you. Love cucki x
I've sent you the picture on the Instagram message as well.
Thank you
Hope you found a kit you liked. I know I talked to the owner of the local cross stitch shop to me and she did mention that she felt some of the kits had a more red toned fabric. I hope you find an older one with the more coral color.
@@TheSeattleStitcherhi thank you for your reply. Yes you are right. Some of them are with red color fabric and I dont like that one. I spoke to the thea Gouverneur people and they said they will try to arrange the one with coral material. Finger crossed. Have a great day. Smiles cucki.
