What with the absense of handy “Weekly Progress Reports” like last time, I can see where it’d be easy to forget that I’m pregnant right now. Heck, even *I* forget every now and then. Then I have a wave of nausea when I’ve put off snacktime a little too long, or my boobs hurt like mofo’s or I get heartburn from DRINKING WATER. Then I’m reminded.
So I thought I’d let ya’ll know how it’s going. It’s going.
Seriously, an easy pregnancy so far. And I’m sure a large part of that is due to the fact that this pregnancy is so vastly different from any I’ve had before. I don’t obsess over each and every day. I’m not aching to go buy maternity clothes and baby books. I have my planner so I can keep track of appointments and symptoms, plus I have all those clothes from the previous failed attempts, I think I’m set for a while. I’m not poring over baby name books. I’m pretty sure we already know which names we’re going to use so that’s taken care of. And since virtually no one KNOWS yet, I don’t have people talking to me about it either.
My belly does have a pooch. But nothing outrageous. Heck, people, I’m only 8 1/2-9 weeks along (depending on who you ask…and really, what difference does a couple of days really make??).
See? That’s a good example. Before, I always agonized over due dates. This time? I know this baby will be born sometime in July. That’s good enough for me.
I have an ultrasound set up for the 3rd. Until then, I just have to trust that I’m still pregnant. Not that I have any previous experience that would comfort me on this. :roll: But I do have faith, and that’s saying a lot.
Now, let’s see if we can make it through Christmas without spilling the beans to my parents! Should be a laugh-a-minute! :) (Especially when I replace my wine at Christmas dinner with the non-alcoholic wine we bought for this very reason. DIABOLICAL!)
Sunday morning we woke up to some… well, a lot actually… snow. And so beautiful it was. And it kept on snowing. It was like a reminder of the snow of last winter. Less, of course, (anything would be less) but still pretty and calm and peaceful. *happy sigh*
A peek at the tree in our yard from our bedroom window. Looks like our reindeer held up pretty well.
K’s poor van, parked across the street. Still snowing! I remember last year when it was all but buried!
Picturesque look at a landscape light wearing a “snow hat”.
Our fledgling dwarf alberta spruce, looking extra Christmas-y.
Our driveway, mid-shovel. I was very, very, VERY careful and only stepped on what I was sure was wet concrete. I learned my lesson last year!
So, better late than never. I meant to get these up sooner, but you know. Lazy and all. :)

This is me. I'm a thirtysomething stay at home mom to three kids. For years I was a stay at home mom to one kid and trying very hard to have more. It took a LONG time (ie: 6 1/2 years), but finally Liam arrived and charmed us with his blue eyes and ginormous, round head. Then we got a shock: I was pregnant again and this time it was a GIRL. Our hearts and home are full at last and now that we're done having babies, we get to relax (snort) and watch them grow (not too fast now, you hear?). Thanks for coming by, feel free to dip into my archives, read my About and History pages (just don't do Jackson's Story without tissues!) and make yourself at home.
