today i tried on at least five different outfits before one would finally zip up.


i know not everyone is this way, but i must be grateful.
in general my pregnancy has been fairly easy.
i love that i fall asleep the second my head hits the pillow which is polar opposite of before.
i love when the little tyke gets hiccups.
i love that i feel well enough to do most of my normal routine without discomfort.
i love having extra motivation to eat salads everyday for lunch.
i love the pathetic excuse to eat for two and sometimes i use it.
i love when devin gets a big grin from feeling that babe move like crazy.
i love looking at nursery designs and fantasizing.
i love that i am a part of something miraculous.

few things have been difficult and i can't complain especially when i know how awful some people feel.
but things have been strange, as i go through this complete metamorphis.
it's strange that my tummy feels soooo crammed after a meal.
it's strange when people stare at your tummy. yes, i am pregnant.
it's strange when you get winded from laying on your back for too long, or tying your shoes.
it's strange that i have diapers sitting in my house.
it's strange how quickly it has passed, and how soon it will be through.

 

51 days to go.

you can NOT be due in 51 days, there is no way. I look twice as big as you and i still have 3 more months to go. this is my second one but still i feel so huge now.

But in a better note, you look GORGEOUS like always. I am so jealous of you, I really am.

you look stunning mrs. mare! and when did your hair get so long. i'm glad you are feeling well and enjoying your pregnancy for the most part. sure miss you and love you! we will most certainly have to fit in some playdates after the babe arrives.
