Fern and Feather: ta ta for now

Monday, May 30, 2011

My wheels are falling off... the wall has officially been hit. As I get all my ducks in a row for the new little one I am feeling a serious urge to let go. Let go of all the things that I usually spend hours on. I am going to sit on the bench for a few innings maybe even a game. I want to cuddle with Henry a million more times before a new little one enters our lives. I want to be still and quiet as I steal every free moment to take a snooze. I am going to tackle a couple more Art Barn projects {which I promise to share}. I am even hoping to fit in a movie or two with the Boss. This week the theme is 'wrap up.' I have a meeting on Thursday with the client that I have spent most of my time with in the last year. I am handing over my key as the last few items have been buttoned up. And as for my blog... well... I am going to be around... popping in every once in a while to share the latest project or to shout from the roof top about this little boy or girl in my belly. But other than that I will be less consistent than I have been for the past year and a half. Because of this PLEASE PLEASE sign up for my "newsletter" {I don't really have a newsletter but my pregnant brain can not think of another thing to call it}. I promise not to share this info it is for my eyes alone. It is really just so that I can let all of you loyal readers know when I am posting more regularly. {See that little Subscribe to Newsletter go there and sign up!}. Well anyway... I hope you all have a wonderful week and don't be surprised if I pop in soon.

Love & Light. Alexis

enjoy this last time with just your little boy- it is so nice to give first babies a little extra attention before they have a sibling to share you with :)

I know you will enjoy every minute of every day soaking it all in. I had so many emotions before Oliver arrived and felt a little sadness mixed with some anxiousness that it was an ending in some way; but the moment he arrived, it was as if he had been here all along and fit so perfectly into our family. It was a completion. I am so excited for you. And look forward to seeing you soon! xo Samantha

I love how you get a glimpse of the big brother to be in this photo. Take it slow and enjoy your final days as just three...oxo

I'll be thinking of you over the next few weeks! My second arrived a year ago this month and it's been such an amazing experience to add a second child to our family. I cannot wait to find out more Henry's sibling. We'll be planning a trip to San Diego in July sometime. If you're feeling up to it, we'd love to meet up with you at the park sometime.

what i love about this photo is that you can see Henry in the background with a guitar and you holding your belly. i didn't notice it the first time i saw the photo...it reminds me of a peace of art ...you keep going back to the photo and seeing new things you hadn't noticed before. can't wait to hear the news...
