now that i'm tuned in to it, this baby is definitely a mover and a shaker.

sep 29

could never have mistaken that feeling for gas bubbles -- stopped me dead in my tracks.

sep 28

i love this chilly weather but the constant rain isn't helping my mood.

sep 27

started out the week with a strep test and some blood work to test for mono -- just swell!

sep 26

is praying so hard that my mom has a migraine-free birthday today.

sep 25

after using a bad word, he leaned down to my belly and whispered, "never repeat anything your mommy ever says."

sep 24

today i will take out my camera for the first time in months and
document this season of our lives before it's over.

sep 23

i am more comfortable being the one sick in our house than the one not-sick.

sep 22

i thought someone told me that the second trimester is supposed to be
a breeze???

sep 21

it's a helpless feeling to be in pain with no remedy.

sep 20

this morning i was accutely aware that this season in my life will be very short-lived.

sep 19

ready to be home.

sep 18

i enjoy watching my husband with other people's kids - can't wait till their our own.

sep 17

had fun waking up to a full house this morning.

sep 16

just at McDonald's for the first time in about 10 years.

sep 15

i cannot hide it anymore.

sep 14

unfortunately not all of our family lives in town, but luckily they all live in fun cities.

sep 13

some days I feel like I'm in survival mode.

sep 12

there's nothing like the sun shining and it not being sweltering hot - I love autumn.

sep 11

I think I'm getting used to the constipation that comes with baby-squished organs - now I just want to see how much food I can fit in me before I combust.

sep 10

i've either popped or it's the week's worth of poop trapped in my belly that's just making it look that way.

sep 9

i just need one night of absolute productivity to feel like i'm making a dent.

sep 8

i feel like i'm running on empty and barely keeping up.

sep 7

is thankful for my husband that convinced me to take the day after a holiday off - smart man.

sep 6

we stubbornly braved the cold to make the best of the last day of summer - we dipped our feet in the pool that was almost 20 degrees warmer than the air. 

sep 5

i learned my lesson yesterday, so i am pacing myself today.

sep 4

i didn't want to miss a rare gathering of friends so i pushed myself a little too hard - and as much as i tried to enjoy myself, it was a stubborn mistake.

sep 3

yesterday my body actually felt pregnant for the first time in 14 weeks - strange and wonderful.

sep 2

i am looking forward to autumn because spring won't be far behind.

sep 1

there is no better sound than the one i heard this morning - amazing.
