Snapshots

i have done such a half-hearted job at posting this pregnancy.  this one has been much harder than the first.  its challenging to bring a child into the world under such transition. 

nothing about this pregnancy has been 'easy', per se, with the first 10 weeks of intense nausea, to packing up our home in order to move from st. louis to greenville, and all the while fund-raising. we've been eager to be settled in a place we can call home and yet we've been so thankful to have this time together as a family.  i have savored these last months with mya as my only child and with bryan being around so much more.  it will be wonderful to welcome morgan into our family while our schedules are all so flexible.

our dog Molli is featured here feeding her litter of puppies she had just delivered with nurse Mya carefully attending. her creativity knows no bounds:

 

and a random belly shot-Mya took this pic of me at 38 weeks:



Not long now!  We can hardly believe our sweet bundle is coming soon. Morgan certainly has far less room in which to move so her movements now really show through my belly. We can see feet and knees and her heiny move around all the time and never tire of watching her from the outside. Sometimes, Mya will put her hands on my belly and talk to her baby sister and get a swift kick to her hand. Morgan likes Mya's voice and will soon see the person behind this little girl voice that tells her she's so cute and she loves her so much already. Can't wait to see you, Morgan!  Next up, pics of our family of 4!
