That's right! For some reason I have waited this long to mention, I am 26 weeks pregnant with a tiny little baby boy and happy as a clam! The above picture was around 24.5 weeks, and I had meant to post it closer to the beginning of January - oh well! The adorable onesie we silk screened ourselves at our friend's silk screening New Years eve bash! He is a high school photography teacher and did this project this year, had a bunch of screens with Avedon images, among others. We can't figure out who this man is, but I love the idea of a little baby boy wearing a picture of a grown up man. "Son, someday this will be you..."
Wow! What a trip. I can feel him wiggling away inside my belly. Some of my close friends know what a long, painful journey it has been to get to this point and so we are just so grateful grateful to be here. Trying to take things real easy and not over tax myself. I'm not even listening to the news. I just want to focus inward and take good care. So I am pretty self absorbed these days and not feeling the urge to post as much! I did treat myself to a brownie today so I am not following ALL the rules... ;) A girl's gotta live!
Perhaps now that my news is out, I will post more often...I would like to blame my iphoto for part of my lack of posts, it's SO SLOW!! Just to upload this one image took ages and ages, something must be amiss...but I just don't have the patience for it. Perhaps more drawings!
Have a lovely weekend!
I knew it! I am so excited for you! Hope you are feeling well and enjoying all the fun little kicks and elbow jabs. I just hit 27 weeks. Much love sent your way!

Yay!!!!!!!! What a great onesie. Babies are the best!!!!!!!!! Motherhood is the most wonderful, multi-faceted, consuming, magical, fearsome, sweet, learning, humbling experience ever for me. I was so grateful to get pregnant. And I'm so glad you are experiencing this, too! You will be an amazing mother! So happy for you :)

Happy baby year! I like the silk screened onesie. I also like the feature that recommends previous related blog posts. There is delightful stuff that I previously read and forgot.

Hello, belly! 26 weeks is the best bit. I started getting cranky when I couldn't put on my own shoes anymore ;) You're right to relax and take care of yourself. It's easy to strain and expect too much of oneself. I remember being strictly told off by my body after walking for too long in the streets of Tallinn at around 26 weeks... And remember, whenever you are ready for gory birth/breast feeding stories (with a happy ending!), email me :) xo

I was having suspicions too, especially after something you said in your last post :). Congratulations, what a good news for you, especially if this was a difficult journey! Take care.
(I remember discovering your blog and Leya's of Curious birds at the same time, and now you're both pregnant at the same time too :)).

Congratulations! Welcome to the most amazing trip of your life - boys are absolutely wonderful (I am sure girls are too but I have no experience!) I just know that my two gorgeous boys (and their Daddy - he'll kill me if I don't say that!) make every minute of every day worth living - even the rubbish bits! Enjoy that looking inwards - forget the struggles and look forward to all those cuddles x
