Baby on the Way and other crazy ventures

April 8, 2008, 2:07 PM ·

Here's one of a few maternity shots, for those of you keeping track of the bun in the oven. Will send baby pics when baby is more visible... Other pics at www.freestonespirit.ca

My due date is the week after music festival (which I will not be able to attend) and in which 18 students of mine are entered. The kids are on their own this year as I am pretty much on bed rest most days.

A couple weeks after my duedate we start building our new house! Oh, and I just subdivided some land and am selling it and my existing house.

If you could see it, you would drool with me over my new Yamaha C2 baby grand. It cost more than my violin (youch!) but is SO worth it. This piano bench is the only hard surface my pregnant bum is willing to suffer on for hours a day. That's saying something.

My gosh, what a time...

I am nesting like crazy and can hardly wait to meet this little person! And yes, the time does go by so quickly. My son amazes me each day with how mature he has become.
