First, CONGRATULATIONS on become a Grandma, there is absolutely nothing like it in the world. My parents loved all their grandchildren equally and well, before she passed away there were 16 grandchildren, and more arrived. Mom always said that she loved to see them come and she loved to see them go, she just enjoyed the in between. They were great parents, gave us excellent examples of how to be a loving parent, but there were still rules. Our Zoe is 4 years old now and she is the joy of our life, cute, smart and loves her Grandma MiMi. (that helps, of course LOL). Simplicity and McCalls have several patterns (wait for a sale at JoAnn's, as patterns are wicked expensive). You could make the carriage cover for when the baby gets older and can sit up, so they can be kept away from dirty grocery carts, the U-shaped pillow where the baby can lie in it before they crawl and will be safe, there are baby sling carriers, receiving blankets, burp pads always come in handy, make several as they are easy, as well as bibs, the list of possibilities is endless. Before Zoe was born, I was going to make a wall hanging of a sitting bear, use a coloring book for inspiration, holding balloons that could be embroidered or printed with the baby's information, birth date, weight, name, etc. You are going to have so much fun.
