the bump.




I haven't posted anything on this pregnancy besides the announcement itself. So now that our baby girl could come at any second, it's perfect for my procrastinator-timing! My due date is March 9. I have about 2 weeks to go. But I think (and hope and pray) I wont make it there.

This pregnancy has been very different than Leo's. I have had some big health issues that haven't made it easy. Well, that's not really a fair statement. My baby is perfectly healthy and growing. I am still walking and talking. For me, Miss-healthy-no-matter-what, I had some big health issues. I was really sick for the first half, experienced daily migraines until about week 25, caught an awful cough that put me on my butt for 6 weeks, and finally wrapped things up with an excruciatingly painful wisdom tooth infection, resulting in 2 teeth being pulled on separate days. Oh and then comes that little thing called labor! You really have no idea how strong you are, until you have to be. What our poor bodies have to endure sometimes. And it knows how to come out on top.

We are anxious, excited and ready! All our bags are packed, carseat is in the car, bassinet is set up, diaper changing area is fully stocked, baby clothes are washed and hung up, and now all that's left is to wait. I am feeling a little bit stir crazy. Trying to stay busy is hard to do with a watermelon in between your hips. Leo keeps me going, thank goodness for him.

The countdown is on. We are on her time now. Whenever she wants to come out. Then we can get to deciding on a name...did I mention I am a procrastinator?

You look beautiful as always. I love my boys, but I'm SO glad I have my girls, you are in for a real treat, it's a whole new world with those sweet little things. My husband never cries, but he did with our first girl. There is just something so precious about dads and daughters!
