Eight-NINE-Teen weeks

Well my babes… I cannot imagine where time has gone?

Next week we’ll meet and surpass the half way mark!

Eeeek, that is weird and awesome!

I am officially finished SHOOTING in busy season and fulfilling all the orders and editing the last of my sessions.

You will not believe it, but your dummy Mama (and poor Shareen boo, no thanks to ME) got poison ivy last week!

It started on my wrist and has spread to my belly, my legs and maybe my other arm. It is so icky and absolutely annoying and will NOT go away. Boo. 🙁

You don’t allow me to crave healthy items often – c’mon give a girl a break. 🙂

Basically anything Italian and Latin satisfies me.
I am trying to be good…

Luckily what I’m devouring isn’t showing up TOO much, but these hips are growing… and the bump is truly a BABY bump.

Edie LOVES to kiss my belly and is noticing babies and FINALLY talking. She pointed to a baby and said “BAY Beeee!”

Parx loves to pat your home and calls you a “she.” She says she LOVES our baby.

Pierson doesn’t chat about it as often (probably because he is obsessed with our ELF 24/7), but will say the bump is getting BIG.

I have decided that I want to know WHAT you are and we will find out next month! Wowzas. How crazy and exciting.

Next month we will begin our BIG renovations for the house – complete with:

a true laundry ROOM, a garage (oh yay, this is HUGE), a cozy living and eating area, a guest bath – what’s that?, actual storage, a master suite and a NEW temporary nursery space – full of natural light and coziness!

I believe we’ll have a pool too, which brings your mama much pleasure. I love the water… so peaceful and relaxing!

I cannot WAIT to have MORE room for our BIG BROOD.

Guess what else?

I can actually feel you now…

Not a ton (which is odd to me this late in the game), but at night I can feel your little kicks while I lay still.

Even DADDY was able to feel you once. Now, this is getting REAL.

I hope you are snug as a bug and happy with what I am digesting. 

I love ya sweet baby baby.

.love.

This face is because this was the first photo of the group, but your daddy is SUCH a perfectionist he’ll take 15-20 seconds to take ONE photo.

I was thinking, “GOSH… push the button silly!”
