We were hosting a pool party at our house and we decided it would be a perfect time to announce to our friends we were pregnant. So we gathered all our friends around the pool and everyone sat on the edge with their feet dangling in the water. We held hands, talked about the solstice and how grateful we are to have our community of friends. We took a moment of silence and looked around the circle into the eyes of each member of our phamily. Josephine said she had an announcement. With eveyone's undivided attention she made a joke about having our wedding, in August, in Hawaii! Everyone's eyes widened and we said we were just kidding. Hee Hee. We then let them know that we did have exciting news. That we were postponing our wedding for right now yet would still like to have one in the future. Josephine said," For now we would like to ground down, settle into our new home, and....(placing her hands on her belly) nurture the baby in my belly." Everyone cheered and began kicking their feet in the water, splashing around in celebration. It was incredible and joyous.
That day took a picture of all the pregnant mamas. Look how we shine.
