There’s been a bounty of garden and nature-walk related posts here lately, and plenty of Sparks’ shenanigans with jelly making (he’s done elderberry-crabapple now, too!), but precious little crafting on my part. I have to apologize… the sewing and knitting have fallen by the wayside. I have a much bigger project that leaves me completely wiped out:
Kidney Bean Parks is due in mid-March. I am 11 weeks pregnant today. We had my second prenatal appointment yesterday and heard the heartbeat, so everything is officially a GO! We will have the gender scan right around Halloween, and yes, we definitely want to find out ahead of time! Otherwise, how will I know what color sweaters to knit? You know that that mid-March newborn is going to need a lot of hand-knit sweaters, right?

Oh, I am so very happy for you!!! You can get busy knitting sweaters and grandma can start on the quilts!!!
Congratulations!!!
WOW! Congratulations to you and Sparks! What fantastic news!
Congratulations! Now let the knitting begin! Lol…. ‘Cause lord knows you won’t have time afterwards.
Congratulations! I am march born also
A winter baby absolutely needs lots of hand knits
Congrats on the kidney bean! It does seem you’re a good gardener, so I’ve no doubt it will be well germinated. Stupid gardening metaphors aside, I’m so happy for you!
Thank you Lauren!
Oh, here’s the announcement. How did I miss this before? Congrats!!
yay!! what great news…congratulations hardly seem adequate enough when a new babe is on the way, but none the less “congratulations”
