Congratulations Kristen!!! S/he is going to be one lucky baby- bathed in organic nutrients & love with awesome parents.
I went to Whole Foods yesterday to buy my little monkey his/her first onesie (that's his/her name until h/she is born and we know the sex). All organic and cute... with little monkeys on it. I plan on being like one of those mama monkeys who carries her baby everywhere. Baby wearing HERE I COME!!!!!
:)))))))
Glowing with happiness,
Kristen
Hi Naptress!!! My mom in law was just asking me where to get organic yarn. Where do you get yours?
Hugs,
Kristen

~Justine
Hi Justine,
I will continue my same diet that I have now:
100% VEGAN
100% ORGANIC (unless I'm at a restaurant that they don't offer it)
70-100% RAW (so, basically, I'll continue my HRAV - High Raw All Vegan diet... some days 100% raw and some days medium to high raw)
Cheers,
One HAPPY Future Mama!
Kristen!!!!! I am SO HAPPY FOR YOU!!! I know how much you've prepared mentally and physically for the little monkey (love the nickname!) and I believe you will be a phenomenal mother! Congratulations!!!
This is so wonderful!
I'm happy for you.
An astronaut once said about seeing Earth from space: "The only better thing is to have your own child."
OMG - huge congrats!!!! I'm so happy for you!!!! What a lucky little boy or girl!!! :) Hugs, Kendra
I'm thrilled and ecstatic beyond words.... we've been hoping for this for some months now. I feel in my heart I was destined to be a mommy and I'm stoked to be building my family now.
I'm dancing around (carefully, of course, haha), smiling from ear to ear, beaming brighter than the Arizona sun.
Kristen! I am absolutely thrilled for you and your husband! What a wonderful little treasure this baby will be.
Boy, you were busy in New York, weren't you!?! *wink*
Sending a belly pat all the way from Ohio :)
OMG how exciting!!! Congratulations !!
xoxox
Congratulations Kristen! You will make a great raw mommy!
Love & Sunshine!
Connie
Congrats! Your "little monkey" is so lucky to have a mom like you. BTW that was my nickname when I was little too. ^_^
I knew it! I was reading your blog last week and was thinking, "I bet she's pregnant."
Congratulations, it is always so wonderful to hear about new babies - but I must admit, moreso when you know mom is committed to health and learning. I hope you find a fantastic midwife to help guide you through this journey, and that you have a transformative natural pregnancy and birth. My little guy is 2 already, and I can still remember that very first kick I felt. Such a thrill. You are in for an experience like no other on earth.
Yay! Congrats! March is a great time to have a baby! I was due St. Patty's Day 2008, but my little one held out until the 25th! I am so excited to read about how your pregnancy goes! I have been wondering when this would happen. New York must have been one heck of a trip!
Congratulations! My last pregnancy was HRAV and it was a breeze :) Having had one SAD pregnancy beforehand, the two were like night and day. Good luck!
What wonderful news!!!! I am so happy for you!
Yipppyyyy!!!!!!!!!! Such happy news Kristen! Hugs to you and your hubby.
What a COOL thing for this sweet lil monkey to be brought into the world in such a healthy way! No bingeing on junk food for this lil organic bub!! You are going to be an awesome mama! So so cool.
I look forward to following you during the next 9 months to learn what steps you are taking to raise your lil monkey the best way possible all while eating raw! Yay!!! Big hugs!
Congrats to you! Have a happy and healthy 9 months.
Congrats girl!
Congratulations! Happy for you!
Mazel Tov Kristen, I am so happy for your and your husband. You've co-created this so intentionally and beautifully - an inspiration to us all.
Warmly,
Arianna Rose
Kristen congratulations!! I've been reading your blog and saw for the longest time you talking about your upcoming pregnancy and all this other stuff and wondering when it would finally happen!! This is great news, I am so excited for you.
I fully support your decision to stay vegan while pregnant, many people will start to eat "regularly" during pregnancy and I think it's completely unnecessary! Best of luck to you and your adoring husband! =)
Congratulations!!! This is so weird but I must share. Yesterday I was reading around your site a little bit, and I stumbled across a couple posts a ways back where you were expressing your desire to get pregnant soon. Today I was walking in the door and for some reason was thinking about you becoming pregnant/ finding out that you're pregnant soon. Imagine my surprise when I check my reader, see "Kristen's Raw --- I'M PREGNANT!" lol crazy!!! BEST WISHES MAMA!!!
Congrats Kristen. Wishing you a healthy and safe pregnancy!
Congrats!!!! Your energy and excitement is soooo incredibly contagious!!! Can't wait to follow along with your progress :D
You've heard my ecstatic response already! So happy for you my sweet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OMGoodness CONGRATS!
Woo Hooooooooo! I'm so excited for you Kristen! What a blessing and how wonderful that you get to be the most pregnant in the winter. All my babies are winter babies which was cool because I escaped the summer time swollen ankles:) {{{{HUGS}}}}
Congratulations Kristen! That's so awesome, and St. Patrick's day too. :) It's going to be a green baby, both in the raw sense and in the St. Patties day sense.
Wee so happy for you!
CONGRATULATIONS!! This is so amazing! I was just wondering today if you were! I'm hoping to be pregnant around September myself. Yay, this is so cool!
ohhh congratulations!!!! what an exciting new journey!
Wow that is so exciting!!! Hey there is another raw blog I follow where the woman just found out she's pregnant too and is venturing into a raw pregnancy. I just thought I'd let you know in case you guys wanted to talk to each other through this exciting time: http://aleeshasrawlife.blogspot.com/
Wow! That's my birthday. Pisces, if it turns out pisces, your in for a treat! ; ) Good Luck!

Jeremy
much congrats to you!
~kathy
Congratulations Kristen! That baby is going to be so healthy with you for its mama...lucky kid :) God bless you and your husband and of course the little one!
Are you doing an all natural water birth to go along with your vegan lifestyle? If you haven't already -watch the business of being born and read ina may's guide to childbirth. I want to be a doula, midwife eventually and although I haven't had a child of my own yet, I am so passionate about natural childbirth- seems like something you would do! No drugs for your baby :)
Congratulations :) You should make a raw vegan pregnancy e-book with all the crazy concoctions you're going to be craving!
Thank you again for all of your comments! It's been a real joy reading all of them.
I don't know if I'm doing a water birth, but it will be a home birth with a midwife and doula. I did see The Business of Being Born last year and I already read Ina May's book. I'm having both my mom and mom-in-law read it too before attending the birth so they can better understand why I chose it.
Yaay! Congratulations.
Going to celebrate with some watermelon. ;-)
Aahhhhhh so amazing! CONGRATULATIONS KRISTEN! You'll be the coooooooolest parents :)
My friend did two natural births and one was water - she loved that one :)
Wow Kristen congratulations!! Many blessings for the amazing journey ahead. =)
Awesome Kristen! I am so happy for you! You will be an awesome mommy!
Yay! Congrats - and I have to admit, I was thinking just this the other day, wondering if you would soon have news for us!!
Wow. Congratulations. That's so exciting. It seems like it is contagious. I wonder who will be next.
Are you staying raw? I did okay for the first 6 or 7 weeks, but then my tastebuds couldn't handle it. I ate some cooked for a while, but now I'm happy to report that I'm eating a lot more raw again. Just 7 more weeks to go.
Good luck with your pregnancy. You'll be a wonderful mom :-)
CONGRATULATIONS! Wow! I'm so happy for you!
I've been waiting for this announcement for months! Please keep us updated on how your raw food intake goes during your pregnancy. I could NOT drink green smoothies at all for like 16 weeks this pregnancy. They made me so sick, which is weird because besides that, I had no sickness! I'm just now getting back into the swing of things.
Hi Kristen,
I'll be sending paryers, love and happy baby thoughts your way! It must be such a wonderful feeling, for sure!
Jennifer
how exciting! what healthy baby you'll be carrying! good luck!
Congratulations on the magical news(Quite auspicious blessing if it's a St Paddy's day baby:)!
I've been broody for over 2.8 decades(I'm a typical maternal Cancerian who vowed to be a young mother) and my menses is unusually late(7 weeks now and I've never ever missed a cycle). I would love it to be the obvious, but I'm not sure as I'm in the 35+ age group. How do you know for sure?!
xoxoxooxoxo
xoxoxoxox
Congratulations!!
I wish you all the best :)
Congratulations! That calls for a raw celebration!
Big congratulations! You've prepared for a while now, and now it's time to nourish that babe. Best wishes for this pregnancy!
I forgot to say that my water birth was by FAR the easiest of my three (and she was my biggest baby; 9 lbs 6 oz as opposed to the bigger two who were both 8 lbs, 10 oz). It might be wise to prepare to have the tub just in case that feels good to you in labor!
yay congratulations!
Yayayayayayayaay! First thing I remembered when I woke up this morning! Friggin fantastic!!!! High five and hugs!!! :DDDD
Congratulations!
Yay!!! So happy and excited for you! Your blog is such an inspiration for me, and I hope that you have a wonderful, healthy pregnancy =)
Wow - congrats to you & your husband! This is excellent.
Congratulations from Michigan! Many blessings for you and your hubby for all the best over the months ahead.
Sweet Mother Earth!! What great news. My children (one who is a vegetarian) are now 20 and 15. Trust me when I say in a blink of an eye they grow.
Enjoy every stage they go through...the good and the bad!!
Congratulations!!
Thank you Thank you Thank you SOOOO much everyone for all of your warm and kind wishes. It warms my heart!!!! I'm the happiest I've ever been. SMILING EAR TO EAR!!!!!!
Congratulations Kristine! I am so very happy for you!!! Being a parent is one of the GREATEST BLESSINGS!!!
It's cool that you are expecting on St. Patty's day - that's my birthday!!! Pisces are way cool and creative...lol! Seriously, we are!!!
Bless you and your family! I know your pregnancy will be rawkin!!! :)
CONGRATULATIONS ! Lots of love to all tree of you :) <3
Congrats! How lucky for the little newcomer! Mine is due around Thanksgiving so I say "I'm thankful" instead of I'm lucky. I guess if it was around Christmas then I'd say "what a gift!"
Oh, and I'm all about the baby wearing too. I already have 3 carriers- a ring sling that I made for less than $10, and two long stretches of fabric to do the wrap around one with. I'm glad I know another person who is excited to do it too!
I could read all of these over and over and over again! I think I'll print them off for the journal I'm keeping. Thank you everyone! So Much!
Loving my pregnancy,
Kristen
congratulations- what exciting news!! i'm so happy for you :D
Kristen,
Just one more YAHOOOOOOO! YIPPEEE! to add to the comments so I could be the 101th commenter. ;)
This baby has chosen an incredible mama and daddy.
I am so very honored to know you and to have been a teeny, tiny part of your journey thus far.
Sending you peace and the hope for a blissful pregnancy,
xoxo

Kristen, CONGRATULATIONS!! I love your blog and I was sooo happy when I read about your news, your baby will be healthy and beautiful like you:) As a matter of fact, I've been trying to get pregnant for a while and I found out last Thursday that I AM pregnant as well! I would like to ask if you will keep drinking green juices and if you will increase your protein intake. I'm vegan, not raw, but I love my daily green juice in the morning. Any advice would be appreciated, I'm kind of lost with the nutrition info...Thanks:)
Yes, I'm continuing my green jce but using as much celery. And I'm increasing my protein. Congratulations!!!!!
Congrats!! Hope you have an easy pregnancy!
CONGRATULATIONS!!! That is absolutely fabulous! I so look forward to seeing how pregnancy impacts your dietary preferences or needs as it develops.
Growing people is the best experience ever! :)
Congrats Kristen and Husband!
I just had a baby 8 weeks ago and it is the most incredible experience. I will never forget the feeling of delivering my baby. We were just at a family reunion and my MIL was telling people that our baby is so strong and healthy and that it is because I eat weird things. super funny. I won't offer advice (even though I am tempted) because you are so obviously smart and won't let comments and the inevitable endless advice and judgements get to you. I couldn't stick to RAW or even the labour I planned but I did what I felt was right at each moment. I can't wait to hear all about your pregnancy!!
My favorite book as a child was titled "The Chosen Child" which was a story of the love for an adopted child. You see, I was adopted.
Farmer Doug
Congratulation, and all the best for you and your baby.
I read your blog from germany.
My best childhood story was Pippi Longstocking by Astrid Lindgren.
I liked her story because Pippy was a very funny and strong girl and Astrid Lindgren is a wunderful writer.
Now I have 3 grandchildren, the oldest is 5 years and we reads Pippy together. He likes the story tt very much.
Best wishes
Sunny
Congrats!!! How very exciting!! Pregnancy is seriously the greatest thing ever!! You are going to love every minute of it! :) good luck!
Congratulations! You are in for the most amazing experience of your life! I still remember when my first child was born - she is now 40! I couldn't believe the awe I felt and just kept thanking the Lord for her.
OK! For my childhood story: I was 4 and my brother was 3 and we were mad at our mother. We decided to run away to live with our grandmother. We packed up and walked out the door. Mother just looked at us! We got to the corner and stopped. We weren't allowed to cross the street by ourselves! So back home we went.
MaryLu
I'm so happy for you!! I can't wait to follow your progress and I'm so appreciative of you tracking your meals for us! I will be there soon (hopefully) and you're a great example of a clean mom-to-be! Congratulations!!
BLESS YOU!!!!!!!
