Baby Bumping


Happy Weekend!
It is so funny how every pregnancy and every child is so different from another. I know there are some old wives tales to gender and pregnancy but having both a girl and at this point I think im on my 3rd or 4th boy, yes 3rd boy, I feel like gender didn't have much to do with it. I felt the same exact way with one pregnancy than I did when I was pregnant with Sophia only to find out I am having a boy. Last pregnancy I was sick and nauseous and just never felt good. This one I don't even feel pregnant but I am just grumpy all the time. I'm still super happy I'm just feisty. Luckily my co-workers, family and friends understand it and plus when I get grumpy they don't take me too seriously. Kind of like a Chihuahua trying to be a German Shepard, it's cute it's trying but what is it really going to do.

Pregnancy is one of those things I know what is going on and know all the medical details but it still boggles my mind. Like right now there is a little baby boy growing inside me. And then he will come out (no need to go into detail on how and where and all that) and he is like a real baby that will grow into a little boy then a teenager and then a man. It just is one of those things that amazes me. Its like I grow people. I can't grow a garden but I can grow people. And having just done it and having a baby on the outside while it is going on inside makes it all more amazing. Knowing that this time next year, Joe will have his little brother doing all the things he is doing now, that he will be out and about and eating solids and trying to crawl is just mind blowing.

It still seems surreal I am pregnant again sometimes. I think because I just don't have the time to really let it sink in. I don't have any time to think about it. With Joe I knew down to the minute how far along I was and what fruit he was the size of. With this one I have a guesstimate on how far along I am and usually I'm within a few weeks of being right. And the date they give you is an estimate and so when it's time it will happen and I will have the baby regardless of if I know if the baby is the size of a watermelon or a pumpkin.

Enjoy your weekend!

My Firstborn

Today marks my oldest child, David's, birthday. Today marks the day 13 years ago, I became a mother. He is who taught me how much love I was capable of feeling. He is the one who made me a mother and started me on this crazy journey into motherhood. It is crazy how one tiny human being can change you in so many ways and so deeply. And it's not just any birthday although every birthday is a special one but he is thirTEEN. Yes a teen. Like really? David is the one we got to experience all the firsts with. He was first born so every milestone was extra new and exciting, new uncharted territory. Including this one. I never thought he would be a teen, I mean logically yes I knew it would happen, but you never picture that little infant or toddler to ever be a teenager. David is definitely showing signs of being a teen. The boy who once just adored his parents is now suddenly embarrassed by us. He refuses to go anywhere with us that there is a slight chance he could see his fri...
