Here it is. My big belly. In all it's glory. Hiding inside there is my little baby boy...and what an active little boy he is. Constantly moving. I love it. I love feeling the little movements. It's still so weird to think about a little body growing and stretching and living inside of mine...even the second time around. The beautiful wonders of creation. It blows my mind. A woman's body is an amazing thing...and it can do incredible things to bring another life into this world. I'm so glad to be a woman and to have the opportunity to be a mother. I love my little family.

It's a beautiful Saturday morning. Both kids (Sammy and Savy) are sleeping the morning away. The sun is shining, the birds are chirping, and I have a few minutes all to myself. School is winding down, which I'm thrilled for, but the summer looks to be even more busy than my days teaching kindergarten. I've got classes to take, a classroom to move, Yellowstone to visit, and a baby to get ready for. At least the second baby's easier to get ready for than the first baby. Now if it could only have been a girl, it would have been even easier! My tummy is getting huge (someday I'll feel sexy enough to take a picture of my belly and post it for the whole world to see), but until then, just imagine me with a basketball shoved up my shirt. I have less than three months to grow, and I'm already down to two week appointments. Keep your fingers crossed with me that this baby comes early, because I have to get back to teaching too close to his due date. All in all, life is good. A little hectic and stressful at times, but my sweet little girl forces me to take time and enjoy life daily.
