Today I get to leave work early to go to our 16-week appointment. Ultrasounds are my favorite (even though i have only had one), but today I only get to hear the heartbeat. 'Only'?! It's pretty amazing to hear it, and the doctor usually only has the thing on my stomach only for about 30 seconds--until the BPM registers in her machine. I think I could listen to it all day long. I do get a tad nervous before I go just because I REALLY want to hear it, and I get nervous it won't be there, but I also know that I am not the giver and taker of life...
I am mostly excited to leave work early since I conveniently get to miss this rah-rah meeting pumping up this giant sale where we make millions of dollars in one day, blah, blah. I usually get really cynical towards the company I work for, materialism, corporate politics, and the lifeless cycle of buying more clothes and more clothes and more clothes because we create a 'need' to be 'in fashion'. WHO CARES!!!!!!! I'd love to see what percentage of the world has that need verses the percentage of the world who actually has a need: food, water, shelter, saftey, education, medicine.....it kills me.
About Me
- Rachael*
- I’m a local Seattle mom, owner and designer of Happy Hollis Design. I create appliquéd onesies, t-shirts and hoodies—all originally designed and sewn by me. My goal is to give the modern mom something local, handmade, with a swanky look. All my items are pre-shrunk and flannel lined for the softest fit. I draw on inspiration around me—mostly from my one-year-old Hollis, but I will take requests for new designs. Personalization with a brightly patterned initial or monogram is another favorite.
