The wrapping was so pretty and obviously done with such care that I almost didn't want to open it further! But I'm so glad I did, because inside was this absolute gem of a baby sweater:
The colors! The stripes! The warm wool and squishy, squishy garter stitch! I immediately teared up. Again, I will say that this knitblog community we have is amazing. I have never met Claudia in person, but she was kind enough to take the time to knit my baby a sweater. I just wish he were here so I could put him in it and give both him and the sweater a hug at the same time! This is one of those things that I will hold onto for his entire life.
And in baby progress news, I'm almost there...

Well, that was so sweet to of her to send that sweater to you!
Such a cute and colorful wee cardigan! Wishing you all the best with the final stretch. You're looking almost ready!
Claudia is such a sweetheart to have done that for you!
I don't know Claudia, but she the took time to complement my efforts with one of her patterns. Isn't the internet grand? And the baby sweater is precious.
Such a cute sweater! Can't wait for Yarniad Baby to model all the cute things.
Oh, so sweet! I love the look of calm patience in the last photo. You are a mother! I'll be thinking of you!
Having been a fan of Claudia's blog for some time, I am not surprised.
Look at you!!!! If I don't miss my guess it won't be long now :)

PS I forgot to tell you - it's Morehouse Merino and I'll get around to blogging it one of these days!
You look so pretty with your baby bump!! and that baby cardigan is so pretty- I love the orange and pink, it's such a great colour combination. What a great gift!
That cardigan is so lovely. Nothing sweeter than stripes on a baby. I have to stop myself continually casting on new stripy projects for this one.
Oh, and you look great! So much neater than me (3 weeks to go over here). I've actually gained less fat than last time, but I have the bump of dooooom.
Of course, I always like stripes! The colors combo is amazing! What a great surprise!
