Default last carving before i move

this is it, ha me and my wife are ,moving sometime next month and this is thee last large carving i can do, I'm packing up all my tools except my carving jack. I carved it mainly with an angle grinder but used a few large sweep gouges to help in the tight spots, its just about two feet tall, I'm not sure what wood it is, , or what it is supposed to represent, most likely it represents my wifes pregnancy coming and the impending birth of my first son, or the thought of my entire world changing, either way i feel sort of close to this carving, i thought it out long before i cut into the wood, but either way it was fun

I love it, especially since it represents your pregnant wife!
Best wishes on the baby, the move and your entire world changing! And good idea not packing the knife, you'll need something for a stress reliever!
