Grape/Tomato {9 Weeks}

Okay…this is the last time I apologize for being such a bad blogger…but I gotta do it. Because I suck. And I appreciate you reading.  It’s been a month and a half since I posted anything, but I promise I have excuses! For one…this pregnancy is kicking my butt. I’m currently at 18 (almost 19) weeks, and I need to remind myself that I’m not even half way done yet! Because I seem to be experiencing every symptom in the book this time, and things are getting difficult. Things like sleeping, sitting, standing and breathing. Holy moly. Maybe it’s because I’m 30???? Damn you, aging…damn you!  I have other excuses, but I actually want to put that into a blog post – and hopefully it won’t take me a month to write it!

So…these photos were from (forever ago) the day of my very first doctor’s appointment (that I brought my two year old to, ha! No, I did not have an exam that day, hehe!). But I love that she’s in them, and that she loves to climb on my back and hug me. And I was just starting to get a noticeable little bump!  Well, noticeable to others…I could tell at 5 weeks!

I love this little girl.  Seriously.  On another note, I cannot possibly imagine sharing that love with another child.  I know it will just happen, but how can I love *two* like I love her?!?! Impossible.  At least it seems that way right now…she is my little buddy, and she is so smart and so precious to me it makes my heart just about explode!

It was very windy that day!

I heard the baby’s heartbeat that day.  Amazing that you can hear it on something soooo small!  Pregnancy is just a mind-blowing experience.  So that reminds me…instead of complaining about my sore back, I just tell myself that I am lucky to be so fertile and to be bringing a healthy, loved child into this world! And he or she just has to cook a little longer…I can do it…
