mail day





Oh, was this just the pick up I needed today!  Sofia received her gorgeous bonnet from Greer at Typically Red and Mama treated herself to a new case (now my iPhone can go incognito while in Mexico.)  Usually if we order something online our shipments spread themselves out over the week, but today everything came at once!  I couldn't believe it.  I had posted a while ago on Facebook about how amazing the craftsmanship of the Typically Red knits were, but after seeing it in person I can truly vouch for the time and love put into every woven row.  I'm thinking I may have to pick up a neutral color to fit bebe's tiny head next winter... eep!

Is it obvious I had a bit of retail therapy a few weeks ago?

the birthing of alba mae

From the beginning, this pregnancy seemed so much the same, yet so distinctly different all at once. I didn't get sick, I wasn't too turned away by my favorite foods, I had occasional heartburn here and there and overall, was able to relax and enjoy the experience.  What was strange was how differently I was carrying - having been told more times than I could count that I had looked as if I had "swallowed a basketball".  I think I was persuaded a few times in my head that maybe this was  different, maybe it really was a baby boy.  Yet still, in my heart I had an overwhelming intuition I would be holding another little girl in my arms, someone so very similar to her sister yet so distinctly different all at once. My little may flower. Saturday night, the air was warm and sticky.  Sofia, Erick and I read stories by a big window fan in her room trying to distract ourselves from the heat in our upstairs apartment. ...
