In just a few weeks we will be welcoming our Poppyseed Earthside. 🌎 The world around us is going through shifts unlike what we have seen before and at the same time our tiny sliver of that world is about to change very dramatically.
.
These photos were taken before our lives became overwhelmed with terms like “social distancing” and when we could still share our excitement in person with our family and friends.
A huge thank you to my sister (@feisty.mindfulness , of @lavenderandlacephotos, who helped us capture part of our journey.
.
We are so appreciative for all the support and well wishes as we count down the days until we meet our Poppyseed. We can’t wait to show off our baby to the world, even if it is only digitally for now.

Have questions? We have answers.
1. Yes, we really are pregnant. We know this might come as a shock for some of you but that just means a bigger surprise! You’re welcome.
2. Chelsea is feeling good. Chris is also doing well and eating cookies for two.
3. No, we do not know the sex of the baby. We aren’t sure yet if we will find out, but we will be thrilled no matter which “parts” the baby arrives with.
4. We do not have names picked out yet. We currently refer to the fetus as Poppyseed because it was the size of a poppyseed when we found out we were pregnant.
5. Poppyseed’s anticipated arrival is the first week May 2020 but is subject to change based on his or her availability.
