Reason to Celebrate

I was introduced to the coolest IPhone app this week called Hipstamatic.  These photos were all taken on my phone and there was no need to edit or alter them, because this app did it for me.  It is such a fun toy.

This first photo is taken from my perspective, looking down at Kestan. Yes, that is my belly.  Yes, there is a baby in there. Yes, Kestan is trying to see the baby.
"I want to see my baby."

"I want to kiss my baby."

"I want to tickle my baby!"

I thought it was appropriate to share my exciting news with you as I celebrate my 100th blog post.  In honor of baby #2, I feel a gift is in order!

Along with making a baby human, I'm also creating a new e-course that I'll be launching in a few short months.  Would you like to enter for a chance to win a spot?  I can't tell you what it is yet, but I'll give you a hint - it's fun, it's playful, it's creative, it's messy and it will be a great way to enjoy the lazy, breezy days of summer.  (I also plan on announcing Inside Out e-course dates soon.)

To enter:  Leave a comment on this post by, Sunday, April 18th.

  2. Happy news!! I'm so excited for you!! BIG congratulations :D & Kestan is so cute :)
    My reason to celebrate? In this BEAUTIFUL spring weather, I'm spending glorious days outside with my not-such-a-baby-anymore & generally feeling really really happy - for no apparent reason! If that's not cause to celebrate being alive, I don't know what is :)

  5. How exciting! That's wonderful news. I'm celebrating the newness of Spring and how I love the smell of the air just after it rains. I'm celebrating sitting on the back patio last night with a glass of yummy chocolate stout, painting and doodling while talking with my favorite guy in the world.

  10. Dear Shannon,

    What a wonderful news! I'm so HAPPY for you! Having a second child is such a wonderful experience (as having a first one, a third one, and so on! lol)! Wow!!! And a new e-course on top of that? That is so very exciting!! I would love to be part of the game again this time, one way or the other!

    A reason for me to celebrate? Spring time, quiet and peaceful time with my kids at home, practicing yoga and working on my personnal projects.

    Congratulations again!

    Big hug and kisses,

    M

  11. Congrats, Congrats, Congrats!!! SO exciting. That is one of my favorite announcements ever, when someone says they're pregnant!
    I wish it to be a blissful journey for you (for the 2nd time)!

    Today I celebrate...because I can. So I celebrate the sun that is shining today, despite the forecast of clouds. I celebrate the freedom to be me in a fairly quiet and slow office today. I celebrate being ALIVE and LIFE in general!

    Congrats again!!

  12. Oh wow, CONGRATULATIONS!!! So exciting! I bet you are the cutest pregnant lady ever. :)

    I can't wait to hear about your new e-course, as well. I really want to take one of yours, the timing just hasn't been quite right yet. (In 2010, I've learned that taking on too many "inner self" projects at one time is exhausting, overwhelming, and counterproductive for me.) But I bet summer would be a perfect time for an e-course!

  34. Congratulations Shannon, I'm not sure how or why but I 'knew' you were pregnant although I'm not sure how.... Anyway, my reason to celebrate today is that I finally got over a horrible visit to a hairdressers here about a year ago by going into a new one and making an appointment. Might not sound like a big thing but to me it's a huge step. :-)

  43. Ah, lovely news Shannon. Congratulations! Looking forward to learning more about your new summer course. Today I met someone who I have known for many years but had sadly forgotten about. She's very special and I love her dearly. So I'm celebrating finding her again. Who is this person? It's me.
