My body was changing really fast. I was starting to show at 12 weeks (probably a little bloat, too) and MAN does it change fast! Every single time I walk by a mirror I check out my bump, always have. Such a miracle!
ah this is beautiful! i'm so, so excited for you! congrats again and I can't wait to see how your belly grows and how you guys prepare for your new little one!
This is just crazy!! It seems like only yesterday we were in high school getting grilled cheese from classic 50s. Now you're going to have your own little human being that you're responsible for. IT IS BLOWING MY MIND.
Congratulations! I can't remember now how I happened upon your blog, but it inspires me. You're beautiful and authentic. May this continue to be a time of great blessing--soak up every moment you can.
Pregnancy is the most amazing and mind boggling thing I've ever experienced. I used to get emails every week from some website that would explain exactly what was happening that week, like "This week your baby will develope eyes" and I would literally get wrapped up in thoughts about how MY body was MAKING eyeballs. Truly amazing. :]
I have been reading your blog since you had your first livejournal account. Watching you follow your dreams, become a wife and now a mother has been an honor. You are my favorite read, I get a tinge of excitement everytime I see a new post!
Congrats to you and Michael. All of your avid readers will be following your journey into mommyhood!
Adorable, and I can't agree more. I didn't have an easy first few months at all, but even despite that it was amazing seeing the changes and life literally forming.
Just wait until you start feeling movement - now THAT's something!
Hi Aura, I've only recently discovered your blog but I'm glad it's just in time to watch your growing belly. I really loved being pregnant. I hope you will/are enjoying it too! Bisous from Paris x
Aura, I love how open you are! I am 19 weeks pregnant, and I wish I could show all of my belly pics on my blog and FB for the whole world to see, but my sister hasn't taken my pregnancy very well (she wishes she was pregnant instead of me)and so my parents are having a hard time showing their excitement at their first grandchild. Just as I was done looking at your post, she called me at work and made me cry. I'm sorry to add such a sad comment to your post, because it's such a beautiful post, but I thought at least I could tell a stranger about how sad I am that I can't celebrate as much as I want to. Maybe seeing your posts will give me the stregnth!
Oh my goodness you are adorable! I was hoping you would post a belly shot soon. I loved being pregnant and sporting the baby bump. Pregnancy was such a beautiful time in my life and it AMAZED me to think that I was actually making a brand new person! Loved the "parasite" comment as my husband and I also referred to our sweet babies as parasites. :)
How freaking cute! Aura, are you and Michael intending on finding out the sex of the baby or are you going to let it be a surprise? I think you're having a girl! I'm just calling it right now. And if I'm right, you owe me $10. :-)
Aura! Oh my goodness, first of all, HUGE congratulations to you and Michael. I am one of those people who's been following your blog forever...we go all the way back to iam.bme and then livejournal days. Don't know if you'll remember me :) It's so strange how life and the internet works as I hadn't read your blog in almost a year and stumbled upon it because "Pacing the Panic Room" linked you and I find out you're pregnant the day after you post it! EEP! This is especially exciting for me because I had my first son 2 months ago and my pregnancy was such a wonderful time for me and I'm so thrilled to be able to be a part of you documenting yours. I'm sending warm thoughts your way and I'm sure you're going to do the pregnancy and motherhood thing with all the grace, beauty and style possible. <3 -Erin
Aura, It never ceases to amaze me how much you and Michael enjoy life. It's amazing and serves as a reminder to me that life is a gift, not a sentence. Cherish every moment and surround yourself with the things and people that make you happy. You two will be amazing parents and I can't wait to follow your blog :)
Anonymous @ 9:38 AM on September 29 2010, I was saddened to read your post. Congratulations!I hope things between you and your sister improve. I have a sister that's 18 months younger than me, so I can totally understand the rivalry and jealousy that can sometimes ensue. My sister was married and is now pregnant with her second baby. I has happy when I found out she was pregnant the first time, but experienced a little bit of sadness, as my biological clock ticked LOUDER than ever that day :) However, Nicholas is the greatest little guy in the world and my heart explodes everytime I see a short video or photo of him. Your sister's sadness will pass. Baby's do that. Loving Nicky as much as I do has only taught me to happily wait in anticipation for my turn. And it will be amazing :) Celebrate, little ones are a gift that brings a family closer together than ever imagined.
SO cute! You're gonna be such a cute preggers. :) P.S. That song on your video...I promptly downloaded it (and the other 3 songs they have on itunes) and have been listening to it non-stop! Love it...
I have enjoyed your blog so much, Aura! I am so excited for you and your hubby...Congratulations on your pregnancy! Such precious photos you are sharing! As I read your last post and before I watched the video, I thought "Oh, I hope she's having a baby!" You will be such a sweet and fun mother for a little one! I'm excited to follow along with your exciting {sweet} adventure! *I always enjoy your photography!
I read your blog and absolutely love it. I was reading this post on Sunday and had the strangest, what I guess you could call deja blog.
While reading about you finding out you were pregnant I thought hmm.. maybe that is why I'm having these pains. I immediately went and took a test and it was positive. I too sat in the bathroom and cried. I walked out and guess what? My boyfriend was sitting there in his underwear fanning a fire he started in our oven.
I thought this was just too bizarre not to share.
Oh, and our baby is half Persian too. =) I may need you to recommend some of those Farsi books one day.
Aura - I am so incredibly happy for you that you are having a baby! I've read your blog for a year now and have read many of your posts talking about your longing for a baby. So so so so excited for you and your hubby!!! I'm expecting my first baby in less than ten weeks. It has been the most incredible journey. I pray that you are feeling well, enjoying this time, and just loving your life at this very moment. Your baby will lead such a blessed and awesome life filled with so many great adventures. Congratulations girl!! So excited for you!!
