My friends I have been keeping a big secret over here (I have lots secrets more that will soon to be reveled) but the first is that I am pregnant about 5 months actually with a girl. And while I typically like to stay away from the "personal details" of my life and stick to just sharing creativity on my blog- this is something I just have to share because it will be difficult to hide pretty soon. This is a big deal for us mostly because until about 1 1/2 year ago we didn't think we wanted kids- don't get me wrong we love kids but just didn't think it was in the stars for us. In fact if you would have asked me if we were ever going to start a family my typical response was, "only if the clouds part and we are visited by an angel that tells us to". Well, it didn't quite happen this way but a series of life changing events in the last 5 years lead us both to wanting some big changes in our lives- the biggest was the sudden and new desire to start a little family and we knew we would try for 2011. So here I am totally knocked up- so far things have been pretty breezy- no morning sickness, feeling good, continuing to exercise it is just my brain that gets in the way every now and then. Overall we are so excited and little terrified all at once about this adventure- when you spend a good part of your life not thinking about pregnancy and kids there is a lot to catch up on!
Not much will change over here on my business end (or at least that anyone out there will know) things are moving rapidly forward with my creative business with some amazing new developments so there won't be lots of maternity leave or changing the way that I operate and this won't be turning into a baby blog but once in a while I will share a little peak or update about life on the pregnancy and family front.
Thanks for letting me share!
oh, alisa! wonderful news. can't wait to see what further beauty you guys add to the world.

ReplyDeleteoh wouawwwwww marvelous...I am so happy for you...it is a great new...congratulation to you and your husband xxx
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! Having our daughter was the best thing we ever did.
ReplyDeleteOne of the loveliest things that my daughter Sophie has said to me was "Mummy I am the best thing that you have ever made, aren't I?" It was so unexpected and is the best thing that anyone has ever said to me.... well part from "will you marry me?" that was quite a big thing too. So you have actually been creative for the past 5 months! Best of luck for the next 4 months and beyond!
Congrats...what great news! Looking forward to seeing her beauty soon! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteVery many congratulations to you! Much bliss and peace to you on your new journey!

Alisa-
ReplyDeleteThat is wonderful news. I couldn't imagine my life with kids and then I had my Duncan followed almost 3 years later by my Fiona. They are such a joy and are such fun that I can't imagine my life without them. Watching them grow and figure out the world around them is a gift. My husband and I have been truly blessed. You will be suprised by how much your own child will add to your lives. They aren't just babies-they are people. Congrat's!!!!!
Big congrats! You are starting a new creative journey!!
ReplyDeleteLove your blog and pregnant with a girl as well! (due any minute!) So excited for your family-what a creative, fun mom you'll be :)

ReplyDeleteHello Alisa,
ReplyDeleteI'm extremely happy for you. I wish you lots of joy and relaxed ease with your pregnancy. Don't be too hard on yourself, being a mom means mostly winging it, even if you let the baby roll of the sofa once...
I'm sure this blog and your life will be so much richer for your baby girl.
Charlotte
Such a sweet news :) Enjoy it all the way.
ReplyDeleteCongrats! That's wonderful!
ReplyDeleteIt's never too late for children. Everything in my life took a long time to grow in my mind. Met my love with 29, married with 33, got my girlie with 37. Some of my girlfriend are almost grandma's.
