Where are you?



This is a little story to help explain why I have been so awful at the blogs this past month....A few months ago Daniel started bending over and looking through his legs. I loved it- he did it all the time- and I tried desperately to get a picture of it...Of course- in true Daniel fashion, as soon as I got the camera out- Daniel would stop and not do it again as long as the camera was out...Finally after a month of trying, I snuck up on him in the kitchen and caught him in the act.....



Anyways...I was telling my friend about his new upside down pose, and she said "Uh-oh you know what that means!" Nope- no idea.....well according to my friend when a baby starts looking through his legs, he is looking for his little brother or sister....and sure enough............about a month later we found out that we're going to have another baby!


So...this is a huge part of the reason that the blogs have been so minimal....between looking after a 14 month old (14 months today!), trying to keep my family from living in a pigsty, trying to keep my family fed, support my husband through his first coaching season, and take care of myself so that our next baby is healthy- I am left completely exhausted....


This pregnancy has been a little harder...I actually felt some morning sickness- which I didn't feel any with Daniel. I am also WAY more tired...I don't know if that is all the pregnancy or if it's just keeping up with my life while being pregnant...but I am just about done with the 1st trimester, and Daniel is starting to sleep a little better at night (knock on wood)- so hopefully my long lost energy will come back to me!


Second pregnancies are funny- while I am completely excited about it- my life is not consumed with it like it was with Daniel...I guess that's because I still have Daniel here to look after, and it's easy to forget about what's going on inside my body....but we are all very excited to be adding a new little one to our family!


Here's another picture I got of Daniel looking through his legs- still looking for that brother or sister!

Double D is back! You always keep me updated on the latest adventures of Daniel but... so wonderful to read the ongoing story. You are a beautiful mama and doing an excellent job with all that you do, I know the boundless energy will return soon.

I sooo badly wish I could be there to help you out on those hard day! I hate knowing that an ocean seperates us:( On another note...D has to be the cutest little boy ever! I just want to squeeze him! Love you friend, and that sweet new baby Rolo!
