the family grows!

happy october! welcome fall!

(wow... it's been a month since my last post. whoops!)

first & foremost, i've got some exciting news to share: i'm pregnant! yessir, ms. mila rue is going to be a big sister. we couldn't be more thrilled for her new companion to arrive & to watch them grow up together. she already loves to point out every "baby!" she sees & hug & kiss her dolls. little baby b número dos is due in the middle of may, one of my favorite months. i had always thought to myself, years ago, that if i could choose a specific month to have a baby, it'd be either may or june. well, look at that, 2:2.

we had our appointment with our midwife today & finally got to see our little jalapeño. (that's what the baby looked like on the ultrasound: a little pepper.) it was so nice to see the little babe! until today, i felt like i was lying to people when i'd tell them i'm pregnant because i don't feel pregnant, is that weird? i don't know. so far, the only symptom that reminds me that i am "with child" is that i'm dog tired. worn out. no energy. ever. building a baby is hard work! all i'd like to do, especially after work, is lay in bed & nap nap nap. that, & i've got the most ridiculous sweet tooth! fudgesicles, mini peppermint patties, cadbury chocolates, oh my.
