Better late than never?

I know, I'm a terrible blog updater. At this time I'm going to blame it on the holiday madness surrounding work.



But to keep you all going until our next monthly update here are some pictures we took last week. They're me and Baby B at 26 weeks.



Still not huge, but definitely "popped" since Thanksgiving. Maybe it was all that turkey & stuffing. I'm in our front room, which will be the baby stuff and grandma room, already painted a fabulous shade of buttery, sunshiny yellow.



One of the benefits of participating in these craft fairs and holiday markets is getting a chance to meet lots of other talented vendors. And trading with them for their stuff. I was lucky to score this super-cute giraffe blankie/stuffed animal at one of our first fairs, adding to our growing collection of too cute baby things.

The other fun thing about fairs (in my condition) is meeting and talking to all the moms that walk by with their babies. I always ask about strollers and slings, see what people love and hate and never used, trying to suss my way through all the myriad options out there. I'm definitely narrowing in on what we'll want in that realm.

In other news, my wasteline isn't the only thing expanding. Albertine Press will be growing the studio as well, to include a new, separate office/meeting/clean space across the hall. Very conveniently, every single piece of furniture currently in the front room of our apartment will relocate to the new office (a couch, a desk, two tables and a bookcase!) leaving it a blank slate to start redecorating after the new year.

Hurrah for serendipity!
