Great with Child

All mothers, 

whether you're newly pregnant or about to be a grandma for the 5th time,

do yourself a solid and please read this book:

Amazing.

Witty and heartfelt.

It pretty much addresses every feeling and concern

about pregnancy and motherhood, both physically and emotionally,
that has been crossing my mind since July.

It also tackles a growing worry of mine...

how a working woman can go about being an amazing mother

without sacrificing her passions and craft.

Moral of the story:

It's done wonders to help me wrap my brain around the fact

that a sweet little baby boy will be arriving in less than 3 months!

Here I am at just over 26 weeks (~ 6.5 months!)...

Beth Ann Fennelly's work has inspired me to get on the ball

and start composing a stellar baby book.

And while I sat in the OB's waiting room the other day,

I came across something that is certainly scrapbook-worthy.

Baby horoscopes for 2012!

This is what the stars have to say about out little man:

(If you know my husband and I,
you will agree that this sounds pretty spot on!)

While running errands the other day,

Alex said to me,

"You know, you and I make a pretty great team."

It's true.

We do.

And I think this little guy is going to be a great addition to "our team"!
