It's a GIRL!
Saturday, February 20, 2010 at 6:39AM Yep, yesterday was the momentous day. Around two o’clock, the phone rang. The FedEx guy called for unloading instructions. “DON’T pull into our driveway”! That was all I had for him. So here I am, patiently waiting…
;)
I didn’t have to wait long! Mr. FedEx arrived shortly after I backed the truck down to the end of the driveway.
;)
He happened to be the same driver that delivered our TV when we moved in. Fortunately Jim was home yesterday to help unload. I have to say, it was a bit of a let down… I had built this up in my head to where the boxes were going to be bigger than the truck!
;)
The rail boxes were. That’s what Jim is pulling out of the truck in the above picture. Those suckers were heavy! We lifted those over the toolbox in the bed of our truck because they were way too heavy to carry up to the house.
;)
All loaded up! How can so few and such small boxes take up so much space once set up?
;)
Jim is installing new overhead lights in the garage, so that it’s absolutely blinding out there. Honestly, you need sunglasses. But hey I can SEE now, and I should be able to photograph quilts inside instead of dragging them out, hauling a ladder out, and draping them over the fence. I purchased a Savage Port-a-stand to hang my quilts from for photographing.
Today we will move the HQ16 to the other side of the garage, install the second light, and hopefully (if we think both longarms will fit) Jim will start setting up the Millennium. It’s going to be tight though, there’s no way to move my treadmill without disassembling it, which we’ve no desire to do!

It's a Girl??? You're going to LOL, I read the caption and I thought you were REALLY in line to be "grandma" again. ROFLOL
Ooh - I hope you remember to take pics of setting Millie up. It should be great fun.
Is that one lady still planning on buying your HQ?
Hmmmmm.....did the pouting and sighing work? Or was it Jim's favorite meal. ROFLMAO!!!
CONGRATS!!!!!
I thought you were getting a new grand baby too.
You're a lucky girl. I can't wait to see what you can accomplish with that new longarm.
Congratulations on your new arrival. One kind of birthing that doesn't require diapering & burping. There will be a period of training...yours!
Good luck, we hope to see great pictures of it in action. I am sure hubby won't mind being the photographer for a while.

Oh how exciting! I am soooo stinkin' jealous I can't stand it. If ever I get another longarm, that's the one for me! But I don't see that happening so I'll be happy with what I have. I can't wait for more posts about your new adventure.
Congrats CJ! When you decided you were going long arm, what made you decide on the APQS Millenium vs Gamill or other brands?
Congratulations - Sounds as if you're really progressing. Looking forward to all the different and new photos.
Congrats on the new arrival! I really got a kick looking at the size of truck your FedEx guy drives!! In our neighborhood at Christmas time the delivery guys were using golf carts!!! They parked their average size trucks and went thru the streets on the carts. I guess the guys out your way must have a BIG route!
CJ, how excited you must be!! Do take some pix of you two setting Millie up! With the new lighting, you can get a tan while you quilt! :-) Polly
Congratulations CJ.....you are going to love your baby....I know I do...I look forward to seeing all the lovely quilts you produce.
Loved the pictures! Congratulations! The "delivery" seems to be progressing well--hope the "birth" is easy! :-)
Yippee! I'm so glad for you! Have fun, make sure to take lots of pictures and blog about her.
