as you can see,
baby is deciding to say hi to the world.

rob wanted to practice using his new camera
so we took him to our park.
the 153 acres parked just next to home.
we have a private entrance…


highlights from this week:

~crying for about 10 minutes because
cc helped me empty the beans into a pot

(it was a long, sick day for me)

~getting an old pair of jeans back that maddi brought.
i can button this one pair!

~had thai food on date night and asked for our curries to be hot –
thus causing more tears and heartburn than we both expected…

~more crying at the extreme home makeovers
(i know i know, but they were the “after the storm” ones
fixing hurricaned communities – it was too much really…)

~ sleeping for 12 hours, then taking a 2 hour nap this afternoon
(what the what!)


my baby is a lemon.
next week i have my first appointment here in cali with the midwives
that have come highly recommended.


cc is excited too.
he got the day off to go.
i don’t even know if we’ll have an ultrasound,
but if we do we will at least get to hear the heartbeat!


baby bump is just that for now, and i feel more fat than prego still
and yes, not just my belly has grown…

but every day i am more grateful for the miracle that it is
to be a part of a perfectly designed plan.
