Let me first apologize to those family members and friends that neither Trip nor I have been able to contact prior to this blog post. We had great intentions of personally speaking to each and every one of you.
So... my arty, designy, greeny, lifey blog is soon to add one more category: mommy.
Yup! That's right! Trip and I are absolutely delighted to share with you all the news of our pregnancy. It's been hard keeping it a secret, but we really wanted to make sure the baby was healthy before we spread the news. And I'm happy to report that all is well! I just starting my second trimester, with a due date of March 25th.
Even though I haven't been blogging about it yet, I have been chronicling the pregnancy, and am happy to give you a look back at my changing body and life!
4 weeks/One Month: The day we found out I was pregnant (which happened to be the first day of BlogHer '08). Say goodbye to the flat stomach...
100# and 24"
Baby was the size of a poppy seed. Of course my family referred to the baby as "Poppy" for quite some time. PHOTO: babycenter
//////////
8 weeks/Two Months: Really - just four weeks later and I'm already a mess? By "mess" I mean that I already had cravings, food aversions, weird cramps, sore boobies, and was freakin' TIRED. Poor Tripple... he would ask me if I wanted, say, stir fry, and I would reply, "Ew! No! Ugh!" like he was suggesting we eat roasted crickets on a bed of dirt.

Baby was the size of a kidney bean. PHOTO: babycenter
//////////
14 weeks/Three Months: So here we are, at three months. Belly is in full force. I'll post a pic at each month from now on, so you can all be completely and utterly astonished at the metamorphosis of tiny women to big rolley-polley.
104# and 31"
Had to include this one because it looks like an alien is about to pop out of my upper abdomen. It's actually my rib. Crazy.
And just because I am pregnant does not mean I won't still be involved in the world of art and design (it is still my career, and passion, after all), and my commitment to organic, green living. I just know that the next few months (okay 6) will be focused mainly on my every increasing belly, and the trials and tribulations of becoming a new parent -- while still in school, to boot! Yup that's right, the baby is due the end of March, a full 7 weeks before I graduate from the Academy of Art and Tripple finishes grad school (at least we both finish in May - yay!).
Should be an interesting ride. Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

10 weeks: We had our first ultrasound this week! And pregnancy had been treating me pretty well. I actually felt really great despite the exhaustion. And yes, I was one of the lucky few that really only suffered a couple days of morning sickness (and minor at that). Bring it, haters.

Baby's first picture! Trip got super excited when he spotted Baby's heart beating (almost knocked a tray over), and Baby even did a little dance for us -- which we of course recreate on a daily basis.

From head to bottom, baby is now about the size of a lemon. PHOTO: babycenter

yea, joy has a baby bump. and at the end of this journey i get to be an aunt; super exciting! too bad, you and triple are going to be the coolest parents ever. i have a bump too, but i think it's a food baby or just fat. let's hope it's a food baby.
love you guys!!!
What's up, fatty? I think you are faking it for the attention.
OMG, please tell me you are not trying to convince people that you have a belly? Please tell me you are not even trying to use you and fat in the same sentence... :)
