I am so very excited that mere weeks (likely just days) remain until an amazing little Cowboy enters our lives. This miracle baby enters into a family full of love - with a big sister who has asked God for years to have a sibling. God is so good, all the time. He hears our prayers and seeks to give us the desires of our hearts as we are reminded in Psalm 37:4 (Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart.)
Since the entire family are Oklahoma State University fans (as is truly right and good), I decided to knit this newest fan an outfit that shows off their OSU spirit and pride. 
The sweater is a favorite knit of mine: Seamless Yoked Baby Sweater by Carole Barenys is a Madelinetosh Pashmina fiber in the Citrus colorway. Of course, I had to use football buttons. 
Jessica Marini is the designer of the Baby Football Hat that is knit in Ewe Ewe Yarns Wooly Worsted yarn.
Then I found the cutest pattern for the Sneaker Booties! Michelle Lo is the talented designer of what is now my go-to booties pattern. I used leftover yarn to knit the pair.
The Message reminds us (Psalm 127:3):
Don’t you see that children are God’s best gift?
the fruit of the womb his generous legacy?
Heavenly Father, we thank you for your awesome gift of this baby boy. What joy there is over his arrival into such a wonderful family. Be with them these last few days, giving them patience. But oh God, you know just how hard it is for us to wait on this little fellow as you've heard the years of prayers seeking just this miracle. Your name is to be praised for showing us your faithfulness and love. Guide those involved in his arrival and bless him with a legacy of love, joy and abundant life as he has already brought these gifts into our lives. Amen.
This entire posting was just so uplifting. Thank you, Jill.
