Peach

Today we got the first (and likely only) glimpse of our little baby.

Nora came along to the ultrasound and the two of us watched in wonder as tiny fingers and toes swam across the screen.    I’m 18 weeks and some days pregnant, and I can’t help but marvel at how much faster this pregnancy is going since I have big sister to keep up with.  Most of the time I can’t even tell you how far along I am so it was nice to get a peek at our little baby and to take a moment that was just about baby.

Up until today, despite our best efforts to prepare her for either gender, Nora has insisted that baby is going to be a boy and that we’re going to name him “fruit.”  Today though, for the first time, she said she wanted a little sister and that we should name the baby “peach.”  We still don’t know what we’re having (because Chris and I love surprises), but I think Peach will work as a lovely stand-in name until he or she arrives.  So, meet Peach:

    Great name! It may be one that sticks around as a nickname for some time… 🙂

We had a cold snap and yesterday we had to get all bundled up for Zara's soccer game. It was 30 degrees and, despite these pictures, Vivi's patience for being out there did not last long. Tomorrow it's supposed to be 80 degrees and we're really looking forward to warmth again.

By the way, my awesome gaiter came from our client @isacattostudio. Isa paints patterns and makes really beautiful textiles and notebooks with her patterns. ♥️ her work and team.

Yesterday we got our first taste of summer. It was warm enough that we got out the sprinkler in the afternoon. I worked most of the day but had a nice break for a couple hours in the afternoon during which I sat outside listening  to music and watching the 4 of them dance in the yard. I couldn't ask for much more on a Monday.

The best thing about having a king sized bed is having space for cuddle bugs.

Walking around the neighborhood with Z and I'm reliving my first experience with entrepreneurship: @girlscouts cookie sales. My mom was our troop leader (all the way through Juniors) and I remember our garage piled high with boxes and boxes of cookies. 

It's fun watching Z try her hand at sales. She is fearless and no problem describing every cookie to complete strangers. Despite having never done it before, she has an incredibly aggressive goal of selling 1500 boxes of cookies. If any kid can do it, though, I think she can.
