I Just Can’t Help Myself…
Theo Glen Rogers Born 2/26/17
I know….sharing photos of sweet, fresh babies isn’t necessarily knit or crochet related. However, how often do you get a chance to show off something so innocent, sweet, and lovely!? Not to mention something you worked so hard on….Theo, Baby #3, was by far the largest, hardest project I’ve worked on to date, hehe. I did, at least, keep it to the photos where he’s wearing a cute knit or crochet hat…which means you all get a couple sneak peeks at some upcoming designs!
I know many of you (like me) love a good birth story….so I’ll give you a quick recap on how everything went down. Our little Theo was born on 2/26 at 8:35am. He had been threatening to come for about 3 weeks, and my body had done A LOT of the prep work well in advance of the actual event. So when my water broke that morning around 4:45am, things moved VERY quickly towards his entrance into the world. It was by far the most fast and furious birth I’ve had, and the best word I can use to explain it is “intense.” We had planned another home birth for this baby (Netherlee was born at home too), but I’ll admit it….I experienced a couple of moments of regret on not having any pain relief available, haha. I made it through, though, and once we got to the pushing part, things felt a bit more smooth for me.

Unfortunately, Theo had the cord wrapped around his neck, so pushing in the most comfortable position wasn’t an option for me. Every time I tried, his heart rate dropped drastically. My midwife asked me to change positions, and as soon as I did, Theo literally “shot” into the world! I was worried he was going to break my pubic bone because he moved through the birth canal so quickly! Luckily, no bones were broken, the midwife was able to flip the cord off from around his neck, and Theo made a healthy entrance into the world. Unfortunately, shortly after the birth, I had some major hemorrhaging. It was extremely scary, and we were lucky we didn’t end up in the hospital…but we got it all under control, and both Mommy and Baby Theo made it through the event ok. I’m still trying to recover from the blood loss (WOW it takes forever to get feeling better after losing a lot of blood!) but each day seems just a tiny bit better. Luckily Nick, my wonderful husband, has been treating me like a queen and doing everything around here to help me get the recovery time I so desperately need.
This puppy hat makes me SO happy!
So….without further ado, please welcome Baby Theo to our little crafting family! So far he’s an extremely mellow, super snuggly, and wonderful little guy. The perfect fit for our family.

Melody please……how can you honestly say that babies are not knitting or crochet related.
They are the very first reason why we do these crafts.
I’m so in awe of your life with Nick and your sensational family and equally proud to be able to have spun some lovely merino hand spun yarn for you to knit up into a lovely shawl (perhaps.
Congratulations Melody and Nick.

Theo is Beautiful! So happy everything went well for you! Congratulations Melody and Family!
Who taught Nick to knit? His work is impressive! Lol
Congratulations on the safe arrival of Theo! Love the name and love the hats! You’ve got a gem in Nick!
Congratulations Melody & Nick! Theo is adorable!! I’m glad to hear things went as well as they could and all worked out in the end. Theo’s birth sounds just like my granddaughter’s birth…bleeding and all. Except my daughter in law ended up in the hospital having to have surgery twice to stop the bleeding. Glad that’s not how your story ended!!
Can’t wait to see the next group of “Non-Knit or Crochet” related photos of Theo!! Please feel free to post them any time. I’m sure we all wouldn’t mind seeing one of him with his big sister, Netherlee!
He is soooooo adorable! A perfect little hat model!!! 🙂

He looks like his sister a lot.

God bless you and your family on your latest arrival. He is adorable. Wishing you a quick recovery and many, many years of joy with your beautiful family.
Congratulations on your new beautiful little blessing from God! Your birth experience sounds scary, but I admire your willingness to home birth, and it sounds like you had a very knowledgable midwife.
He is quite beautiful, and I can almost smell that tiny, new baby smell!
Beautiful! I’ll never get tired of looking at baby pictures. He is adorable and cute as a button. Congratulations to the Rogers family. I thank God you both are doing great.
He is just the cutest little guy ! I’m so in love ❤️ with him. Congratulations to you and your family, your husband sounds like he is one great guy. Hugs to all of you. Look foward to your patterns for future Great grand babies.
Beyond precious! Congratulations!!!
Congratulations Mom & Dad and family on welcoming Theo into this beautiful world. May God continue to bless you all with great joy and fun filled memories! Love the hats too of course!
Melody I know I’ve said it already, but congratulations to you all. Third babies definitely like to make their entrance and in my experience they’re definitely the most chilled, lol. I hope you’re starting to feel better <3
He’s adorable and I’m glad you both are doing so well. I didn’t plan on no pain meds with my third son, I was even in the hospital. But the on call doctor took 4hrs to get there and by then it was too late. Turned out I was passing a kidney stone at the same time. We stopped at #3. lol
Congratulations!He is adorable.
My third (and youngest) was also my hardest birth…..but he turned out to be the mellowest of the three! (and still is at the age of 28!)
Precious… Congrats to you and the family. Scary moments, blessed results!!??
Congratulations!! He is so precious!!
OH Melody he is beautiful!! I love the hats too. I made the puppy one for my last grandchild. He’s three now and he’s the last of 13. dd and ddil are both done with having babies.dd has six, ddil has 7. Now the greatgrands are on the way..two are here and another in August. I intended to make the two puppy hats but didn’t so maybe for next winter.
Congratulations, Melody and Nick! Theo is beautiful!
Congratulations on Baby Theo, he’s adorable ?! I’m glad they stopped your bleeding and your husband is giving you the time you deserve to heal properly, sounds like you have an amazing husband!
