This baby bump is actually a baby boy! We feel incredibly fortunate to become parents again and Juniper is so excited to be a big sister. I often describe parenthood as “blissful chaos” and it’s about to get even wilder around here! Our new baby will likely make his grand entrance this July.
I am trying hard to enjoy the moment among all this change: spending time with my mom who has cancer, watching the winter waves at the beach, taking long walks as a family, sipping tea with friends, coloring with my almost-three-year-old while the evening slowly slips away. These are the memory-making moments that will keep us warm for a lifetime.
If this past year has taught me anything, it’s that you can’t take life for granted. It’s how you use your time here and now that matters most. I am excited to have you along for the adventure ahead!
Congratulations. We are due with our first in September and I have been so inspired by your involving Juniper in all your gardening and hiking adventures – we are hoping to do the same. Pray you continue to enjoy this season and time to spend with loved ones young and old.
Congrats Hannah! Juggling parenthood and homesteading is a fun challenge! Try to go easy on yourself those first several months/years as you learn to balance it all
Just realized I think I may have seen you at the Oregon ASLA symposium (hard to miss a very cute prego belly!)…but didn’t realize that you were the writer of this blog at the time! I am an LA in Portland as well! Congrats on the new addition!
Yes, that was me! Come say hi the next time you catch me at an ASLA event
