I know I said I’d post today with photos of my first Secret Pal package. But that will have to wait until tomorrow, because I have something more important to talk about today. (Sorry Secret Pal!)

I’ve been working on a big project, something more special than any design or publication, and I feel that it is now time that I can share it with all of you.

Jakob feels like he hasn’t had enough face-time on the blog lately, so he wanted to be the one to tell you:

Can you read that? It says “future big brother“. Yup, that’s right. In January Jakob is going to become a big brother.

Today is the beginning of my 14th week, which means I’m officially in my second trimester.

Everything looks good so far with this baby, and we are very excited to have another addition to our house. Jakob is already practicing being a good big brother- when we tell him to “kiss the baby” he lifts up my shirt and kisses my (growing!) belly. It’s really cute! (Although…it probably won’t be so cute when he kisses my belly after the baby is born!)

My due date is January 16th, and yes, some cold-weather baby knits have commenced!
