This is for April. Here is the "belly shot." To the average human, I look the same this pregnancy as during all the others.

I can't see my feet...unless I squish the boy and lean forward. He (we) has grown a ton in the past month. We have about 7 weeks left until the estimated due date, but those are rarely reliable for me. We'll see what happens. Until then, I'll have to cope with my anxiety.




Here are my cute kids:

John is watching a Sesame Streets DVD we call Healthy Foods. He adores it.


We have a mini trampoline in the Livingroom. Rebekah and Lily were playing dollhouse. Rebekah is the queen of organization in our home.

Those girls are best friends.



There are two things that were reiterated to my brain today:
1. Never make a rash decision when emotions are high (that is most of pregnancy).
2. Seth is wise beyond his years. He is just about to hit a milestone birthday, but never ceases to amaze me at the rationality and depth of his intelligence and forsight. His stability is trait I am grateful to have on my side.

And then, there is a third:
3. We are given sisters and girlfriends to relieve emotional stress, because we feel so understood, and to help us get our homes picked up. It is always more fun to clean with a friend.
Thanks Melanie.
