I want to send a big thank you and a big hug to all of you for all of your love, support, and well wishes! I'm still completely overwhelmed at the thought of becoming a mama to an actual human and not a fur baby! Having a baby is something I've thought about a lot off and and on over the last few years. Some days I was ready to jump in with both feet, some days I wasn't so sure it would be the path I would choose. Ultimately, the path chose itself and I will trust in God and His wisdom as I walk along this path. I will also trust in all of my family and friends to share their combined wisdom and support!
I'm already being gifted with some wonderful items including maternity clothes! Still hard for me to imagine wearing these as I haven't really begun to pop yet - though I know these clothes will be coming in very handy in the next few months! The photo above is a beautiful authentic Mexican top that my sister recently brought back from her trip to Cabo San Lucas. She so helpfully pointed out that it has plenty of room to grow with me! I've already worn it and love it. I love the colors and the lightness. It makes me feel full of warmth and happiness just gazing upon the colorful embroidery. Do you have items of clothing that really bring out your best moods?
Lots of love,

Oh how exciting for you!!! Congrats to you and your Hubby too!!! Cherish every moment!!
Such a beautiful top, Karla! Since this is your first pregnancy, the memories this shirt will have for you will result in you keeping it forever, I am sure! =) I still have some of my favorite maternity clothes. I kept the ones I wore to the hospital when I gave birth. In fact, one dress I called my "birthing dress" because I wore it to three of my deliveries! It's a cozy, multi-colored made-in-India dress, and can even be worn when not pregnant (although I have never done that -- I might make the relatives think I'm wearing it cuz there's another bun in the oven)! lol
Congratulations!
Congratulations on becoming a mommy! It is by far the most rewarding, sweet, enjoyable and sometimes exhausting experience to have a baby all your own. You find yourself loving deeper than you ever imagined and as your little one begins to grow and show their personality you will be so completely smitten with him (or her)! Best wishes, Love, Kim
thanks for your kind thoughts...I so appreciate it!! and Congrats again..so exciting..Jennifer
