Unveiling the Buddha . . .

A sincere thank you to so many of you who have commented on our journey to get this baby here. Writing on Friday was very emotional and reflective for me. I have felt so much love, support and encouragement from all of you in the kind words you have written. Thank you.

As a little treat, today we decided we wouldn't take a sitting down family picture (which so easily hides my expanding waistline). Instead, we've unveiled "the Buddha belly". For those who've asked, I am due July 9th. Hope you enjoy . . . it only gets bigger from here!

    After all these years, I never realized that you were a Buddhist...
    But you are a swell cook! Thanks for the pot roast dinner. Enjoy the snow you requested.

    I have to add: how clever of you, Budda and Jesus in the same picture.

    The funny thing about this picture is that you must be pushing that belly out because I've seen you in person and you don't even look pregnant :-)

Because of you, I'm no longer having a conversation with myself!
