Hello Baby Edwards...
Our lives are changing in a very big, very wonderful way early next year.
We've known for just about six weeks now and have been doing a ton of celebrating with family (I am just over 12 weeks along).
The idea of a new little person in our lives is sinking in day by day. I am experiencing a crazy mixture of excitement, all-day nausea, grumpiness + mood swings, too-small clothes (which leads to more grumpiness), and that pure amazing this is really happening joy.
I am so hoping that I am coming out of the early pregnancy/first trimester fog (at least I really, really hope so) and am focusing on living fully and in the moment and not taking a minute of this for granted (easier said than done some of these days when all I want to do is sleep all day). As you might imagine I have a big list of things I want to do before this new person joins us and I have been crossing them off the list very slowly one by one.
Simon is pretty darn excited. He came with me to my doctor's appointment yesterday and really liked hearing the heartbeat (even though he was disappointed that he didn't get to see more pictures).
We are all pretty darn excited.
Life is a tremendously amazing thing indeed.

Funny...how can good news from someone I've never even met make my eyes tear up with joy? Your blog lets us feel like friends...even if I post rarely since you are so kind in being transparent. I thrilled yesterday to your anniversary post, and again today as soon as I saw that lovely baby picture. You are great parents, and I know that your family will be blessed by this new member. You will all be in my prayers over the next several months.

What marvelous news for your family! I too am one of those who considers you as a special part of my life via your blog, your books and your work. And I am delighted to hear this news. I am amazed that you are travelling and still creating so much in this time when your body is so busy building a little person.
I pray that your baby will grow strong in the weeks ahead and that you will find energy and patience as life goes on around you. I look forward to seeing pictures of you and to seeing how you document and save these memories. ((( HUGS )))
