I mentioned earlier in the week that we had big news brewing around here at Aesthetic Outburst. We're thrilled to report that PRH and I are expecting our second baby in October! I'm finally over the early-pregnancy blahs...all of my thesis bitching should make more sense now and hopefully I haven't scared too many readers away. Here's a sneak peek at Kicky's alphabet quilt that I've been working on. Don't worry, Kicky is just a temporary nickname for our future little typophile. The images below are: 1) the huge paper template/stencil 2) the quilt in its current state (still have to applique the letters) and 3) a black + white version of how the quilt will be arranged if all goes well (fingers crossed). Once I'm finished I'll be sure to post better photos. Is EZ E excited about the baby, you ask? Hell no. Maybe if the baby brings him new cars and trucks...hhmmmmm.

A big congratulations on #2. How very exciting! When is the actual due date?
You realize that Kicky will grow up refusing to type in anything but made-for-windows95 "fonts" (the term 'typefaces' would be an insult), just to annoy you guys, right?
Get ready for Mother's/Father's Day cards exclusively in Times New Roman, Courier and Wingdings :D

Congrats, Abbey! Most peopel would say that having two is easier than having one.. and certainly easier if you've already got grad school out of the way!
