CC and LOLO.
Our dear friends have been wanting this baby for quite a while, and it's finally become a reality - CC is pregnant. Sure, the baby will live with her and Loretta, but it's OUR baby - our first little running club baby! We are all so thrilled and excited for them; this baby is much loved already and we can't wait until January to meet the newest member of the RRC. Our running family is growing and we couldn't be happier.
After we ran on Saturday, they had a gender reveal at Blue Baker. They'd told Brian, so he (with Cary's help) colored in mini Hershey's bars with either "he" or "her" and we all chose one; it was fairly evenly divided between boy and girl. Jeff and I both picked this:
HE. Were we right?
We were! It's a boy!!! Here's CC with the reveal candy bar:
She is so tiny that her baby bump is really showing already!
So that's our - OK, CC and Loretta's - happy news. CC won't be running Houston this January, being that she'll be a brand new mama by then, but she's still doing an easy three miles with us on Saturdays, while Loretta bikes and tries not to worry too much about CC. And of course you know I am finding all kinds of baby things to knit; tiny baby things are the best!
How fun to have a baby in your group! Congrats to the expectant parents.
ReplyDeleteYes knitting baby clothes and blankets are the best. We are going to have a great grandson in October.
A great grandson?! How wonderful!
DeleteCongrats to them! What a fun way to have a gender reveal (and everyone gets a treat too)!
ReplyDeleteYes, I imagine your knitting will go crazy now! Please share all the tiny things you make!
I will definitely share the tiny knits!
DeleteMy first thought when I read this was "let the knitting commence." Hahaha
ReplyDeleteI sincerely hope your group is going to pitch in to buy them a good jogging stroller - gotta start that baby early!!
CC already has her eye on one... :)
DeleteThis is so exciting! Congrats to the expectant parents and to you all!!
ReplyDeleteThanks - we all are super excited for them!
DeleteYay!!!! Have fun with the knitting and cuddling of the new baby when he arrives!!! And I can't wait to see your baby themed knitting projects!!!
ReplyDeletePass the Baby will become our new post-run tradition. :)
DeleteCongratulations to the parents-to-be!
ReplyDeleteSo how far are you on the knitted baby items already??
Planning stages - mostly because I don't have the proper yarn yet.
DeleteYay! Congrats to CC and Loretta! What a fun way to do the reveal! Can't wait to see what you knit them!!! :)
ReplyDeleteHa!! You had me going with your subject line - I though Grandmahood was heading your way. Tell Sam and Allie that they're off the hook for a while, and congrats to Loretta & CC :-)
ReplyDeleteI suspect being a Grandma is a long way off for me, so I have to make do with other babies. :)
DeleteThe best part is how your group all bands together and really enjoy encouraging one another. And, of course, the tiny knitting :)
ReplyDeleteGood description of our group...oftentimes we razz each other, but we definitely rally the troops and give support when needed.
DeleteIt's so funny Shelley because my first thought was "you can knit so much stuff!" Congrats to the running club baby! :D
ReplyDeleteSo happy for CC and Loretta: congratulations girls!
ReplyDeleteI bet this boy has his first running shoes before he can even walk :)
And can't wait all the sweet things you are going to knit for the little guy.
Baby running shoes, of course!
DeleteWhat lovely news!!!! I look forward to seeing the knitted projects for the wee one!!
ReplyDeleteAwww--how fun! Is mama still running with your group?
ReplyDeleteYep - she's doing three miles and making it look easy!
DeleteBut more importantly, did you eat the chocolate? :D :D :D
ReplyDeleteOF COURSE! :)
DeleteOh how exciting! Congratulations!! :D
