Shopping!!

I have a little secret. When I was in Laguna Beach last weekend I was 5 days after the transfer and having signs already but still holding out for proof. I stepped into an art gallery of an artist whom I discovered in Lahaina, Maiu, where I even him saw in person as a family bought an original for $35,000. Vlademire Kush. I have loved and admired his work for years and only stumble apon his galleries while traveling. I had no intention of buying anything, as Stef is the art person and has dressed every inch of wall possible for display with his art collection or his photography. The nice lady asked me if I had any questions....I found myself asking how much his prints go for. She started to explain how some are not even for sale anymore as they are the last of the series, where his originals are,(don't think any were there)and she proceeds to show me a 'good value' print that just came in taking me to a part of the gallerie I had not looked at yet. She points to a limited series print called 'A New Day' and it takes my breath away. I swear it was a sign. Stunned, almost speechless, I ask how much, and then she was stunned and speechless when I heard myself saying 'I'll take it'. I felt it was fate. Needless to say, it will be the show piece in the baby room. It's hard to describe if you are not familiar with his work, but it has to do with a baby, and it represented the transfer and what I hoped the baby was doing in my womb at that very moment. When she was wrapping it for me, we were both socked to realize that the back of the painting was signed by him!!! An added little bonus I felt lucky to have.

Also, I was so excited to go shopping with my sister in law yesterday - I'm still in Salt Lake City right now- to my first maternity store!! And got a few things for 'later'. Also, as it was my 40th as well yesterday, I got my first baby gift...a tickle monster story book kit!! I cant wait for all the fun coming up....I have been ready for this for ten years.
