Several months ago I ordered @themountaingoats.bsky.social new book as a surprise for my future self!
So far the poetry+prose mix has proven to be great read-aloud material. Baby likes following the words on the page, and I'm particularly enjoying the creative punctuation.

Final pregnancy picture of the year. Because now we're at that cool sciencey facility where baby exits her fishy phase and starts hanging out with us on the outside. Yay!
