I'm convinced there is some kind of cosmic link between babies and knitters. Our neighbors' daughter just gave birth to a girl (Awwwww....!), and while I know the neighbors well, I hardly know their oldest daughter. She's much much older (early 20's) than the daughter we know well. That one is a year younger than William. We've met the older daughter a few times, but she mostly lived with her mom, or was away at college.
But...
Upon hearing the news of the birth, and seeing some pictures (Awwwww.....!), I am overtaken with the urge to knit a Baby Surprise Sweater for her. To the point where I took time yesterday (which was a very busy day!) to pick some yarn for her while I was at Michaels for something else.
Maybe it's because baby items are just so darn cute! Or small and quick? Or both...

I know what you mean. One of the moms at preschool, whom I know well enough to say hi to, is due any day, and I'm tempted to knit her baby some tiny socks. Babies just need little soft wollie things.
And I have yet to knit a surprise jacket successfully. It's now on my bucket list. I even bought a pamphlet that breaks the pattern down by row, and I still don't.get.it.
Of course, I should finish the half of a sleeve I have left on Elizabeth's sweater before I attempt anything else.
