12 days - Day 1

I decided to join a short challenge for the Christmas season. "But you can't even post a picture a day for one month," you say? Well...taking a decent picture is harder for me than what I'm doing, now.

I've joined Sunset Crochet's 12 Days of Christmas Charity! I've committed to making 12 preemie hats in 12 days. Bonnie at Sunset Crochet got together a few other designers and created several adorable patterns for everyone use.

I'm having a blast!

Here's what I completed the first day:

This isn't one of her patterns, but I was anxious to get started.

Ho! Ho! Ho!

I hope to make at least 12 of the little Santa hats in different sizes. I've always read that pretty much any size preemie hat will be accepted since the babies are all different sizes. I think I'd like a seasonal hat if my little one had to spend the holiday in the hospital.

It's amazing how grateful these little hats have made me. Trip spent a few days in the Level II nursery (lowest level of the NICU) due to some O2 levels. He went home with me and Jack, though. I can't imagine what the parents of babies in the NICU go through.

OK, now I'm rambling. I'm lucky enough to have been interrupted by the boys constant chattering and questions about 1,000 times during the few minutes I took to write this post.
