oh how the 2nd pregnancy is different

yeah not so cute but it's the only belly pic i have, oh how the 2nd pregnancy is different!! (5 1/2 months)

i thought that i would fill you all in on how the pregnancy is going. so far everything is running very smoothly. little baby boy doesn't move around as much as his sister did, she was constant with a lot of hiccups, so yes somtimes i have to sit down and concentrate on feeling the baby move. i am actually sad to say there are times that i even forget i'm pregnant, and you are probably thinking "how could you with that enormous belly!" i think i just get busy, with work and chasing a toddler that it just slips away from me. oh how the 2nd pregnancy is different. i am happy to say that most of the sickness has left, sorry to the many friends who are in those sick and icky days, hopefully those days will soon pass for you. as for my weight, i am gi-normous, and i still have 3 months to go. i'm not going to fill you in on how much i have gained but i will say i'm sure i will surpass the weight i gained with Tara. oh how the 2nd pregnancy is different! i'm excited for this little guy to get here, although we have a lot of work ahead of us. some of you may know i am attempting to make all of his bedding "my 3 stars" quilt along with the bumber pad (i know what was i thinking, but it was just too darn cute to pass up). first of all i have to say i had to get the sewing machines manual out just to figure out how the thread the machine, after that it has been smooth sailing. i have actually really enjoyed quilting, i'm thinking of making it a new hobby. i will post some pics when i get the quilt top finished, which should be very soon. as for the babies room, lets just say this is going to be an adventure; for those of you who have ever seen garth's office you all know what i am talking about!! i just hope it is all put together before he gets here, who knows he might be sleeping in the living room! oh how the 2nd pregnancy is different!

when did you get soo BIG???


Tara's new b-day bike, she doesn't quite know how to ride it but she has all summer long to learn how!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY tara lee!!! i can't believe you are 2 years OLD. when did you get so BIG? i remember the day you were born and as the nurse was holding you upside down my thought was "you are the BIGGEST, but most BEAUTIFUL newborn i had ever seen". then the day we brought you home i asked grandma "what do i do now?" and the only sure thing i did know was that i wanted to cuddle you in my arms and never put you down. that 1st night i got what i had wished for everytime i did lay you down you would start to cry, and at that point in time i remember thinking "what did i get myself into?" but then as soon as DAD took in his arms and layed you down (around 5am) you fell fast asleep; he had the magic touch. NOW you are 2, and so so BIG. i have been amazed at watching you grow and discover new things. from the new words you say (these are some of my favorites dogdog, mere mama, budderfy, HI DADDY!!) to being a little mommy (changing diapers, potty training, and putting them na night smothered with 5 blankets...you are going to be such a GREAT helper when brother comes:) THANK you baby girl for being a part of our FAMILY. you have brought so much JOY and LOVE to our home; i am looking forward to the many years ahead!!! just do me 1 little favor SLOW DOWN, don't grow up so FAST i just might miss something, and i want to catch and cherish every moment i can:) i love you baby girl
