Nesting.

I think both of us must be nesting a little bit, because David came home yesterday with this:

We still have more to do before we can decide where to hang it, but I think it will look pretty cool in our little boy's room!

Pregnancy Observation #5.

I will not call this a surprise, because I might have been able to predict that I'd feel this way - had I known this was something that would be a problem for me.
I never - NEVER - appreciated my ankles before.
And now... I really miss them. I look forward to meeting them again in a couple of months.

Design.

This is really a test to see how things like this will show up here.
These are a few concert posters I did back in 2007 for the community orchestra my dad plays in.
The third one never got printed, but the others came out pretty well, I thought.

Pleasant Pregnancy Surprise #4

Hooray! It's summer! Time for crazily hot weather in Texas!
And for the first time in my life, I can wear cute summer clothes...
without covering them up with a sweater (or ski bibs) whenever I go into a place with air conditioning.

Pregnancy Surprise #3

I like being punched or kicked in the stomach.
As long as it's from the inside.
I actually look forward to it - especially now that I can see my stomach move from the outside!
It probably sounds uncomfortable and possibly a little creepy...
but it reminds me that there is a person in there.
A very strong, energetic little person.
Who I can't wait to meet.
Only 10 weeks to go!
