Mornings

I have never been a morning person and frankly waking up early (like 7 or before then) is hard for me, but Anna wakes up perky and ready to play. This was Labor day. If I didn't have this cuteness to wake up to it would be a lot more difficult! She makes me laugh! I introduce you to Pippy...

And her favorite routine... Picking out cereal out of the pantry and sitting up at the table. This cereal is known as "Daddy's cereal," though Anna ate her fair share and luckily the box is gone so Anna will go bad to less sugary cereal... which she DOES like, but who can pass up Marshmallows and the "green girl" aka Lucky the Lephrecaun?

The baby I am sporting

....Or supporting. However you want to look at it. It is crazy being pregnant a second time, it is SOOO much different than the first. I already realize that I spoil Anna with my time. Especially documenting life. I did a lot of blogging when I was pregant with Anna, kept a calendar of differnet thoughts and physical experiences throughout the pregnancy, then kept things up when Anna was born.

I am afraid I am already neglecting Baby #2. (Besides of course her food intake, which she should be enjoying emensely!) I wish we had a name for her, I wish I had dreams about her like I did Anna, and I wish I documented how I felt being pregant with her. But none of these things happen as I run after a 2 year old, am in nesting/project heaven, and am trying to get acclimated to a new state.

So In hopes to be better I write this blog post. I CANNOT wait to meet you darling girl. Keep kicking me inside (even though sometimes it makes me a little sick) and keep growing (even though I shouldn't get much bigger). I am excited for you to come. Your room is basically ready, clothes are sorted (though they are in Utah), and Grandma (and other family members) has her plane ticket. Despite the readiness I feel please feel free to stay warm inside for 10 more weeks or more. Though we are excited you still need to grow! Today we hit to 28 week mark and you are the size of a Chinese Cabbage and by now you have eye lashes! I am feeling more uncomfortable and tired these days, but can deal with it a little longer.

I love talking and dreaming about days to come with Anna's little sister. What an amazing day that will be!

P.S.
I typed this a few days ago and haven't posted yet, because I wanted to put a "belly" photo up. Unfortunetly there hasn't been a good time to do so, so I will post it anyway. I had an appointment today and got to hear her heartbeat... how amazing!! We'll been able to see her on a detailed ultrasound in a couple of days, thanks to her big sister's footsteps. With Anna only having a two vessel cord, among other complications, and not being able to find the third vessel in this umbilical cord we will have a Neonatal Echo to make sure everything is okay. I think it will be, and am excited to see her once again!
