Better... and Bigger


Has it really been five months since my last blog? Indeed, it has. I know I'm not supposed to explain myself or the reasons for my absence here, but I just can't help it. We found out I was pregnant a few days after the last blog and shortly thereafter I was feeling very, very sick. I was so sick and so tired for the first 20 weeks of this pregnancy... so naturally, the last thing on my mind and to-do list was blogging. But I am feeling much better now, and so hope to get back to blogging at least occasionally, though I can't promise frequently. My to-do list before the baby arrives seems a mile long.

She
is fluttering around in my belly right this minute. I can't believe she's a girl. I can't wait to meet her, can't wait for her to (one day) adore her big brother, can't wait to know her and (hopefully) be her friend, can't wait to see her make her daddy melt... She's our Turner Grace, and she'll be here July 24(ish).

Clayton is getting so big, so fast. He is growing taller, running, repeating the alphabet and numbers 1-10 with us (sometimes beating us to the letter or number that comes next), developing preferences (being outside all the time, wanting to eat fruit for every meal, playing with balls, etc.), "talking"... My little baby is now a little boy.
