my anabelle belly seems so long ago while at the same time it feels like i was just waiting for her to be born. now, here I am waiting for our emilymae – but definitely not in a hurry.
I’m super excited but not ready quite yet.
this time 2 years ago I was preparing for chris’ deployment to afghanistan. we are about to enter into all new belly territory for chris, not to mention the whole birthing part! I’m gitty over getting to share it with him this time. I don’t think he knows quite what he’s in for, but I suppose everyone is that way their first time.
I just had another check up this week, along with my glucose test. baby is doing great, growing and strong. I have now been instructed to eat six times a day to keep us both fueled and nourished. homemade rocky road brownies filled in a one meal today (hee hee).
anabelle is now trying to say lots of words. she knows her name, carter (her monkey), and is trying to say e-mae (we thought that would be an easier version of emilymae for her). she’s saying bus, truck, rock, water, arm and there are new ones everyday! her latest is to point at my belly when I ask her where emilymae is and then she leans her head to the side waiting for me to get closer so she can lay her head on my belly and try to listen to baby. it’s pretty darn sweet.
I can’t believe I’m about to have two sweet baby girls. I’m so lucky!
