Must. Make.

Our living room is in dire need of this:

Beautiful, graphic book art.  It's on my craft list.

Pregnancy Journal

I really don't want this blog to be just about pregnancy and babies, but I need to share this pregnancy journal that we've been using and that we love.

I've liked Nikki McClure's woodcuts for awhile now, so I was really happy to find this book.  I would recommend it to anyone who's expecting--it's not cheesy in any way, and it's filled with Nikki's art.

22 and 26 Weeks

I've had a couple of requests for updated photos, so here goes.  I'm not feeling too photogenic these days, and if you could see me right now, you'd see me stretched out on the couch, feet propped up on two pillows and covered with ice packs to combat the swelling that has been going on.  But that's not too exciting.

A more exciting development is that Roo plays with us!  I can sometimes get a little kick or a punch from the wee babe if I talk to and poke my belly.  Same goes for Cole--she was out of town for 6 days last week, and when she came back she started talking to my belly and Roo immediately responded.  So cool!

Here's my 22 weeks photo, taken by Kendra when I was in Phoenix over Labor Day weekend:

Unfortunately, we fell off the bandwagon right around 24 weeks and therefore have no photo!  Blast the luck.

But here's me at 26 weeks, posing with Cole's sweet chalk drawing of my belly:

I can't believe I'm nearing the end of my sixth month already.  Time is flying (despite aches, pains and swelling), and we've made a lot of progress on the nursery, but still have lots of projects to do.  I'm working on embellishing a onesie I found at Goodwill and Cole has a stack of sewing projects.  Pics to come!
