Ryder Jude newborn picts.

I just want to take picts of him all the time. and I don't want him to grow up. such a delightful little bundle of mine. oh, and all the picts were taken in his nursery. just love how they turned out.

ry-ry.

2 weeks old. ryder jude you are delish. wrinkles on his forehead? to die for. i want more tushie photos, please. more photos to come.

mind of a crafter.

guess thats what I am. a crafter. maybe I could consider it as being more creative and well, industrial. I tell myself and my husband that it is cheaper and more unique to make "fill-in-the-blank". and you would know my sickness if you saw my house. full of thrifted and redone furniture and new uses for old things. which leads me to halloween. yep, I know.
so, I tried really hard to find the time this year to make all four halloween costumes. which I usually love making the boys costumes, but this new baby and laundry piles and hardly the time to cook... the costumes were purchased this year. so two little iornmen (with built-in muscles) and a thomas the choo-choo look a little retail but totally the real thing. the boys tried on their costumes tonight and had a delightful time breaking them in. oh, and the newest little palmer boy? a sleepy owl. totally made a crochet cap and a felt owl costume for Ryder Jude. so I did get to make one of them. so excited for halloween.

the halloween cat? www.thevintagemoth.blogspot.com has a link to their new site, which at the moment I can't remember what its called. but go there and then link to the cat and a super cute vintage halloween game and other great graphics.

new boy baby.

our new baby boy, Ryder Jude is finally here! Born 10/1/10, 8 lbs 1 oz. 20.5 inches long. and long dark hair. at least long for the palmer boys standard. welcome to the world baby.

thinking about it.

so I am just sitting here, hugie pregnant for maybe the last night ever. daddy and I are officially done after this last boy and I can't help but think this is the end of an era. baby era, I guess. I will so miss my little babies. I do just love my boys and everything that comes with it, though. I have so much more to look forward to. and I have lots of friends with girls that I just wait to spoil. and two nieces. can't wait to see this new baby. oh, tomorrow is the big due date, I am going to see my baby doc to check and see if everything is looking ok to be induced tomorrow. hope for the best. I am just so ready to finally have him in my arms and in our world. and hopefully all the questions about how the new baby "comes out" will go away...such curious boys. and they won't get to know anything about any of this until they are like 30.

you say goodbye and I said hello.

remember my other blogs, www.morepolite.blogspot.com and www.boylab.blogspot.com? one for my other etsy shop, www.polite.etsy.com and the other for my boys? Well, I am rolling them into my palmerbirdies.blogspot.com blog. just look for titled postings. and it will be nice and organized. scary.

baby update.

NO baby yet. due date if officially tomorrow.
