I went on to write about all of the people who were in for a big, beautiful surprise, and to talk about what I'd done that day, the day I found out.
The letter ended: "Will you stay with us? Will you be our child? I can't wait to find out. Love, your (maybe) mother."
I didn't realize how precarious it would feel, especially in the beginning, and even now, so many months later. I meant to tell you earlier, a thousand times. But, for whatever reason, I never did.
Now, with "Peanut"'s due date one week away, I've come to realize that, even if all goes well as I so hope and trust it will, it will probably always feel this way. Delicate, precious in a way that's almost painful.
In any case, I figured I'd better tell you now, so you understand what's going on if and when I suddenly start posting an inordinate number of images of one particular person here.
Many people have asked me: who has been documenting your pregnancy? The answer: me, with the help of a few good friends and family members.
Above are a few photographs I took myself. Below is a photograph taken by the immensely talented Sarah Linda Gossett-Raderman, at 37 weeks.
This is, perhaps, another reason why I haven't blogged about this part of my life more (okay, at all). JK Life Stories has been busier than ever, and has a packed 2010 coming up ahead. Stay tuned for some amazing photographs and stories. Including, perhaps, a few of my own.
