Baby-on-tummy pictures

 This is Levi-in-my-belly. I asked my CNM Danielle to draw it.

 This is Ivy-in-my-belly, accompanied for picture by Levi, now just over 2 years old. I asked my home-birth midwife Molly to draw the picture. (It's her first one.)

 This is B-in-my-belly, accompanied for the picture by Levi (almost 4 1/2) and Ivy (almost 2). I asked my OB Dr. Twelves to draw the picture (It's her first one. Odd request, she said).

Baby Belly

Starting with Levi, I asked my care provider to draw a rough picture of the baby on my belly, showing the baby's position and a smile.

Aren't these kiddos so cute!!

I finally got around to printing, decorating and posting birth affirmations around my home, due in large part to the encouragement of my sweet husband.

And here is my sweet daughter assisting me:

We have about a month left to wait, give or take, and the nesting bug has hit. I am doing my best to clean out and organize and prepare everything for our precious new arrival.
