Incubation

For some unknown reason, I have failed to mention on this blog that there is currently a baby girl incubating in my womb. Well, I know the reason...it's my old friend "laziness". If this is any indication of how neglectful I will be at documenting baby number two's life, then I need to repent.

I kept a fairly faithful journal of my pregnancy woes when I was pregnant with Ava. All I did was gripe and bemoan my suffering. Maybe that's another reason why I haven't said anything about this pregnancy. I only wanted to exude motherly love this time around, and not constantly complain about morning sickness and other pregnancy ailments. And believe me, I got 'em! But right now things are looking pretty good. I am already 23 weeks along! I'm not too large...YET, although the other night after pigging out on fondue I started sporting the beginning stages of a waddle.We are so excited about this new addition to our family. I want to make it clear that silence on this blog does not equal lack of excitement. It is merely an exhibition of my lack of commitment to this blog, which really is a shame.

I don't think Ava fully grasps that there will be a baby sister to steal her limelight in a little while, but she is able to point out "baby sister in mommy's tummy". Now I have two girls kicking me (one in the womb) and the other in my bed at night. I'm really exaggerating about Ava kicking me at night since she is actually sleeping well these days, but the tide may turn!

Here is my 23rd week of unsexyness in its full glory
