all sorts of journeys

In early April, right after we found out I was pregnant, Colin and I grabbed Bean and headed to Portsmouth, New Hampshire, for a few days by the ocean. It was just what we needed to absorb the news and plan our next step. We stayed at the lovely Wentworth by the Sea, a historic hotel that we had visited a few years before.



Bean and Daddy had a talk about little Wiggle...



And so did Bean and Mommy.



We took lots of walks, watched lots of movies, and even shared the news with our parents. We also began to plan our eventual journey from Chelmsford back to Chicago.

Meanwhile, Wiggle was on a journey of his own,

from blob (6.5 weeks)



to baby (14 weeks).




Look at how far we’ve come.
