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.

woohoo! how cool is that?!! I have one little recommendation: Welcoming Your Second Baby by Vicki Lansky. It helped so much when my second son was born. You are probably already all over that book.

Congratulations Ali! (And I know this will sound really odd, but a few minutes ago I was sitting on my couch and had this feeling like you were going to post soon that you were pregnant. I almost fell out of my chair when I saw this post!)

Congrats! This is too funny because I was just gonna send you a email or comment question about how to get started on a simple but chic baby book. I am 13 weeks along and my other two kids baby books are just horrible. I wanna shoot for something nice this time.
BTW, the prego fog will lift soon. I am feeling much perky-er now. Hope the same for you!

I've been a blog stalker of yours for a long time but just had to come out of the "web-work" and say a huge CONGRATULATIONS! I don't even know you (in person) but I was so thrilled when I read your news that I got a little teary-eyed. Anyway, children are amazing and I know this little baby will be greatly loved. Congratulations. (oh and thanks for all the inspiring things you do!)

so glad to see all the stalkers/lurkers taking the time to congratulate you.

Congratulations!! Someone who's as great of a Mom as you are should definitely share that with more children. Congrats to you, Chris, Simon and the rest of your family!
Wishing all the health and happiness in the world.
