Drafts, drafts, so many drafts
If you could only see my draft list for posts. I’ve started so many posts about you. I started a Mothers’ Day post that I couldn’t finish. I couldn’t pull the words together and it just wasn’t done. I couldn’t get it to a place I was happy in sharing it. Maybe next year. I have posts before that and after and they are never enough. Never good enough. There’s so much to say but nothing that seems enough at the same time. Let’s just say I’ve really been missing you even more since finding out about this baby, especially more the week when we finally announced our last baby will…

Anatomy Scan is coming up soon
6 sleeps until the detailed anatomy scan at MFM. I’m nervous to say the least. At least they put it all on a tv so I can watch and there’s no secrets like there is here at our local clinic.

I shared every minute of pregnancy with her because she was so excited and wanted to know everything. She was always asking, wondering, and wishing she could put her hand on my belly and feel the movement. This time I long for those conversations and to tell her everything and share every belly photo and ultrasound photo and little story and hear/see the joy in her face. Going through pregnancy…

Old Wives Tales to pass the time while waiting and wondering
I love guessing the sex of people’s babies, especially my own. I know Old Wives’ tales are 50/50 and completely false I still like doing them and reading into them all. 😉 I found a list of them online when I was pregnant with Oliver and we did them all just to see what they say so we did them again this time. So while I am waiting to meet baby, here’s some fun, light reading. Heart Rate If the baby’s heart rate is above 140 bpm, it is said that the baby will be a girl. If it is under 140 bpm, then it will be a boy. Prediction outcome:…

The boys have something to say
Our newest addition will be hopefully joining our family in November/December of this year. I have nicknamed him/her Caboose. We are overjoyed. Sure, life is going to be crazy… it already is, but it’s our kind of crazy. 🙂
