Pregnancy Journey

I keep thinking to myself, how kind this baby girl is! She almost seems to sense when I’m anxious and make an extra effort to have a wriggle , just to let me know that everything is fine. She’s treated me very well this pregnancy, in terms of symptoms and ailments and things to complain about.

It feels so good to have everyone sharing in our excitement for her arrival.

Bump pics:

With Aunt Jenny when we found out you were a girl. We’ve been best friends since we were kids. I can’t think of anything important I’ve done without her by my side.

Before Sunday dinner – yes, this is before even eating Pappy’s rapini pizza!
