Week 2 May 4-10

Sleep has not improved. I don't think I have ever been this tired in my entire life. It never ends. Just when I think I can't possibly be more tired it sets it and I may indeed more tired than the most tired I already thought I was. These shining moments are 6 a.m. moments when I thought I had fed the hungry hippo enough to feed the dogs and potentially shower while dad looked after him.



These thoughts were wrong - very very wrong. I could hear the screams from feeding the dogs in the back yard and would drop everything to run back to the room to re-position my mountain of pillows and present the flaming hot nipple to the child who swore he hadn't eaten in days. I don't think I have ever sat in one position for so long! We spend most of the day in the chair in the living room and most of the night in the chair in his bedroom. This adorable squishy faced baby is sucking the life out of me! Man I love him.

Brodie's First Skate

After... yes after... rounding up all the gear necessary for this kid to play hockey, we figured it was a good idea to take him ice skating. I guess I could have just bought skates first, as opposed to completely filling his hockey bag, but he and I got excited. So we grabbed our skates, jackets, and loaded up to go to a public session. 10 minutes from the rink... and everyone in the car was asleep. WTF? I parked, gave them a couple minutes, then asked Traci if I should wake him. When he found out we were there, he snapped awake and we were off! With hoodie deployed we laced up and set off for the ice. He was could not contain his excitement. He did great, and more importantly, loved every second of it! He had me hold him under his arms and skate him around the ice telling me, "Faster!" He even added a few "Whoooooos" in the mix. We watched the Zam, waved to the driver, saw some hockey, and couldn't stay off the ice. Near the end of the session he ...

As we edge closer to the end of our first trimester and even closer to sharing our secret with the world, I can't help but think about all it's taken to get this far and the person I am most grateful for. For three and a half years my patient, loving and extremely annoying husband has been by my side through every emotional break down, every visit to the doctor when I asked a laundry list of questions as to why we weren't pregnant, each and every ovulation test and scheduling "time" around life, and then the emotional break down every month that time of the month came again and then each time someone else in our world got what I thought I deserved more. To say that I have been an absolute gem would be an understatement. I am, however, absolutely grateful that I found this person who is willing to put up with me in my worst moments and willing to stick around with the hope of being present for that one brief shining moment. Now that I've gotten what I thoug...

Baby Brother and Baby Sister

As soon as Brodie started to recognize and understand that mama had a baby in her belly he's made an interesting assumption. He often tells me he has a baby sister for me then points to his belly and sometimes pulls a cabbage patch kid from under his shirt. So it appears - he has a baby sister in his belly and I have a baby brother in my belly.
