I am so, so, so happy for you! Congrats! Much love to you both. xoxo

Congratulations to you and Johnny! What great news-you two will make wonderful parents. I know all about morning sickness boy, I had it in the extreme for 7 out of 9 months but I survived and you will too. Hang in there! THis too shall pass!

oh. my. goodness. oh.oh.oh. blessed be! i was kinda wondering why you were snuggling up on the couch so much lately/ it was for the best of all reasons... manifest indeed. so very breathlessly happy for you.

Hah...Now it all makes sense - how you were able to hang in the unearth kitchen as long as you did was an amazing feat in and of itself. So happy for you. What an amazing gift you have. Remember the story Lisa and I told you about the chanting yoga person and how blessed her child was to have been born into such amazing light and love - that her baby must be the happiest baby EVER. Now it will be yours - with your stunning power to sooth and place light in the darkest of corners with your words and thoughts.

Gentlest of hugs and kisses to you.

Okay...so this is like the BEST video ever!! I have a really big computer screen so I put the video on full screen so you were life size. I wanted to pretend we were chatting face to face and that you were telling me the good news in person. Yeah. It was as good as I'd imagined. Full screen for "i am totally pregnant" videos rocks!!
I'm SO thrilled for you!!!!...and that silver/lavender wall is a perfect compliment to your golden glow.
Love to you!!!
