something in the water

Pregnancies are miracles. 
And there have been a lot of miracles this year! On my city block alone there are six of us sporting baby bumps and most of us are due right around the same time. And even more exciting, MamaM is preggers too. And keeping with the trend, she is also adding a little boy to this go-round.  

We're both due about a week apart, if you can believe that. And though we haven't been so good about documenting the bump, here are some relatively recent pics:


 Can't wait to see them when they're on the outside!

Yarn Along: beach knitting

Joining Ginny over at Small Things for the regular Wednesday Yarn Along!
Two of my favorite things are knitting and reading, and the evidence of this often shows up in my photographs. I love seeing what other people are knitting and reading as well. So, what are you knitting or crocheting right now? What are you reading? ~ Ginny Sheller from Small Things


Few things are lovelier than beach knitting. Upon learning that our two developing in utero are of the male variety, I put aside that very feminine Christening dress and started on some handsome baby sweater vests. Pattern is by Bley Hack and I found it for free on Ravelry. Used up my two skeins of Berlini Ling in a pretty tan color. One down, one to go! My second vest is knitting up quite nicely with a pretty blue cotton yarn from Louisa Harding Yarns. I figure I better get my knitting in now because I surely won't have much free time after the twins arrive.

There hasn't been much time set aside for reading, but I am still making my way through David McCullough's The Greater Journey. I keep meaning to read at night, but on evenings when I'm not in rehearsals I'm usually falling asleep with Mayumi around 8pm. I've always needed a lot of sleep, but gestating twins requires so much rest! And calories! But at least they will be well-dressed!

boy power

A little note to say we are still here and fine.
Busy (and tired) but fine.

Oh, did I mention a little thing like a few weeks ago we found out that we were having boys?
Yes. TWO BOYS!


Phew! No wonder I'm tired.
There is a soccer match going on in my womb.

Hurray for little brothers. This big sister can hardly wait!
