Heather Mulder Peterson and her husband, Joel, are expecting their first baby any day now! We are so excited for them. She looks gorgeous, doesn't she? We thought that we'd have a bit of fun but more on that later.
She's recently published a book for kids and we can't say how adorable it is enough times! We'll be showing off some more of the projects in a later post.
The sample yardage of her latest line, Seaside Cottage, is on its way to Minnesota as we speak! We can't wait to see what Heather makes with this yardage! We'll keep you posted on that!
Here's where the fun for you begins! Answer these questions here or on Facebook and two lucky winners will be chosen randomly for a prize of a copy of the book and some fat quarters of Seaside Cottage. Are you ready?
1. Guess the weight of the baby.
2. Guess the date of birth of the baby.
3. Give Heather and Joel some advice or recommendations on baby products.
The contest will run until next Friday, June 15 at 4 p.m. Good luck!
Come back on Friday for some more fun! Some of our Henry Glass designers will have their answers and advice!
Congratulations, Heather and Joel! We can't wait to meet the new baby!

For the weight I am going to guess 8 lbs 3 oz and for the date I am going to guess June 10. I could give lots of advice but parents have to do whats best for them with their child in spite of all the "helpful" advice from others. With a new baby you will be busier than you have ever been in your life but just take the time to enjoy your baby each day as they grow up way too fast.
ReplyDeleteOh yes I forgot to say Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteI guess 7 pounds 4 oz, June 10th, and my advice is to sleep when the baby sleeps and let other stuff go. Dishes and vacuuming, etc. will be there to take care of later.
ReplyDeleteCongrats you guys!
I would say it is going to be 7lbs 8 oz.
ReplyDeleteIt will be born on June 21, my anniversary, lol.
When you come home with the baby, let the relatives clean and cook, so you can enjoy the baby and rest. Do not try to take care of company, they are there to take care of you;)

Okay, I'm gonna say June 15th, Weight 6 lbs 15 oz. and about 21" long. As for baby products, wow, ya know I'm from the time before disposable diapers, LOL. I had only cloth diapers for my daughters. But when we found ourselves raising our grandsons from birth, we learned that (here comes a tip) you should keep just a few cloth diapers handy, because when he gets the occasional, albeit inevitable diaper rash, putting him in cloth diapers for just a day or even a few hours, will help speed up the healing and also keep him more comfy as the disposables hold more heat. Just a little something I learned raising our two oldest grandsons. Congratulations and Big Hugs...

Advice: the first few months are very caotic with a newborn. Don't worry about dishes piling up, or laundry piling up quite so much. Just spend these first few months giving baby all the attention... you can't spoil him!
Little Petersen will weigh in at 7 lbs 12 oz on June 13 th.. Hold him closely whenever you can, forget about carrying him around in a car seat. Get out for fresh air everyday, it does you both good. My husband used to say that if he came home and the house was clean and there was a beautiful dinner but I was in a bad mood, then there was a problem . So, lower your standards on housework and meals and have fun with the baby instead and everyone will be happy.God bless all!

Early congrats on the baby's arrival. I'm guessing an 8lb.2oz chugger with an arrival date of June 12. I'm gonna guess a time of 2:06 AM cuz you know they like to be born in those wee hours.

Best product ever for diaper rash johnson's baby cream (hope they still make it - it's been awhile for me!).
June 12th, 7 lbs. 5 oz. Advice: Sleep when the baby sleeps; accept help when it's offered; cherish even the fussy moments...someday you're gonna miss it; do what you feel is best for your family, regardless of what others *think* you should do; make it a point to make time for each other-babies can be all (time) consuming; it's okay for the baby to cry-it might break your heart to hear it, but occasionally letting them cry won't hurt them. And love on the wee one with abandon. They really do grow up in the blink of an eye.

ReplyDeleteI'm guessing June 12th, 7 pounds and 14 ounces. My tip - treasure these last days before he is born; such a special bond - and note what settles him down now. That will help you calm him after birth. If he calms when you walk, he'll probably settle down when walked, etc. Congrats to the new family and enjoy!

My guess is a 8 pound 12 ounce lovable baby boy on June 10th (same as my daughter turning 9 on the 10th). My advice would be to sleep when he sleeps, and to accept help when it is offered.

ReplyDelete8lb 6oz on June 12th. Sleep when he sleeps (or quilt!) and enjoy every moment. Don't compare him to other babies, they will do everything in their own time! Follow your gut, mother's instincts kick in the day they arrive and are always right.

Once in awhile, when it's quiet for a moment, reflect and write down your thoughts on his personality development. I was just reading what I had written ( my son is 25), and it brought so many smiles, and helped me see how he grew to the man he is today.
But mostly, enjoy the journey...every good and hard moment.

Advice: Love them, hug them, discipline them (no matter what these namby pamby idiots say these days about it hurting their self-esteem), play with them, read to them, spend time with them, enjoy them! They grow up so fast that you'll regret not doing these things if you wait.

Just love that little guy a lot - and show us lots of pix on the blog!
I'll guess 7 pounds, 14 ounces on June 14. People used to tell me not to rock my son to sleep, claiming that he would never learn to go to sleep on his own. Well, I did, and he did, and it was all good. So my advice is to do what works for your family and it will be the right thing. Congratulations and Best Wishes!

Advice: You cannot spoil a newborn so don't worry about holding him all the time. In the beginning you will be in "survival mode" so don't feel guilty for letting him sleep in a swing, your arms, his carseat, etc. Anything to help him sleep is what truly matters. Do what is best for your family and not what others think is best. Congrats!!!!

ReplyDeleteI will guess a weight of 6 lbs. 8 oz. June 16 - get the nurses to show you how to swaddle the baby they loved being wrapped tight.enjoy!
ReplyDeleteThis has been a long road for Heather and Joel and I am happy that their baby boy will arrive so soon! I guess that he will be 8lbs, 5 oz and born on June 12. My advice is to nurse as long as you can. It is hard the first 4 weeks, but after that is wonderful! Congrats to Heather and Joel!
ReplyDeleteI guess 7 lbs 12 oz and June 13th, your story is so touching and I recommend pampers swaddlers diapers when he is tiny but after size 2 switch to huggies snug and dry, it makes for a lot less leaks and blow outs up the back when they have the band at the top. Good luck!

My guesses are 7 lbs, 3 oz, born on June 16. My parenting advice is read, read, read (looks like you have a good selection of books to start with already)! Oh, and don't forget to take a bit of time for you and your sweet husband - it's ok to be a wee bit selfish!
ReplyDeleteI am going to guess June 12 at 2:30 pm and weighing in at 8 pounds and two ounces. My advice is don't worry about quilty stuff for at least 6 months. You should just enjoy every possible moment with your little family.
ReplyDeleteOkay, I'm gonna guess today (6.11.12) is the big date, and 8 lbs 12 oz for weight. My one piece of advice is to purchase "The Baby Book" by William Sears - I wore my copy out!
ReplyDelete7lb. 3oz. June 15, for the birth date. What a lucky baby!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!! Your life will never be the same and you would never go back to the time before baby....enjoy every moment, time goes fast!

Advice: don't take advice, especially not from people who have no children, or like to tell you just all kinds of horrible stories around birth and baby. Don't read books! Your baby is special and you will know just what he needs by listening to your mother instinct. Lots of love from Germany, Claudia.

You can't spoil a baby. Congrats and good luck Heather!
7lb 4 oz for the weight. Date 15th June. Advice...if it's not standard procedure have your baby checked for Cystic Fibrosis. My niece's little girl has CF, it's not routine to check in the UK for it but she had the test done anyway. There is no one in either family with CF but they were both carriers, my great niece is doing really well because she was diagnosed so early, and it's such a simple test to do. Also don't forget to give your dog extra cuddles!! Linda
ReplyDeleteJune 16th, 7 lbs, 8 ounces, Enjoy every moment, empty nest comes way too soon!

Enjoy them while you can because they grow up so very fast.
I hope the baby is born today (June 12, his due date), but since first babies are notoriously late, I'm going to guess June 17, weighing 8 lbs 2 oz. My advice: be a relaxed mother and enjoy him. Best wishes to the whole family.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Heather and Joel!
ReplyDeleteBirthday: June 22 (my daughter Katrina's Birthday; she'll be turning 19!)

Advice: Love your child but don't spoil them; no one likes a spoiled, selfish child or adult. You'll be doing yourselves and your future daughter-in-law a favor!
Congrats! I've been so happy for you ever since your first announcement post!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to guess June 20, and 7 lbs, 11 oz.
My advice is to join a baby group, or somehow otherwise make friends with other families that have kids the same age. They will be your lifeline over time!

Advice: Buy the book "Healthy sleep habits, happy child." This has the best advice on sleep for babies and children of all ages. My son is almost 12 and I still reference this book on a normal basis! It helped me get my babies to sleep through the night by 3 months too!
Best of luck.
