new love and sticker hearts

Part 1 of this story

I woke up on the 15th (may 2009) touching my belly feeling overwhelmed (ha, that's part of the song To Zion- "... I touch my belly overwhelmed by what I have been chosen to perform") and so incredibly blessed that this was happening. Although I couldn't walk 2 blocks without seeing a baby and giggling to myself (or to Joel) like a baby crazed woman, we were not trying to get pregnant. But here I was looking down the road ahead of us knowing that it was time, this was our new plan.

I knew I wanted to take a photo that morning. I wanted to stop time and record the swirls of feelings going on in my head.

At that time I had just discovered the blog Color Me Katie and was totally digging her joyful & radiant quirkiness. I think that kind of influenced the purple sticker on my cheek. When I posted that photo on flickr I added the lyric- "I've never been in love like this before", however no one but Kristin and my best friend Kate knew what was going on.

A year later I decided to include the boy (4 months at the time) responsible for all this craziness.

Two years later, the boy is still amusing me with my silly antics.
