It's now late October and the chill has set in.  The fires have started in the hearth and home is all about each other.  Hooray for Fall and for holidays and for family. This also means that the end of 2013 is drawing increasingly near. Wow, what a reflection that is. What an amazing year. My children continue to grow into fantastic people, my husband (yep, i got me one of those this year!) never seizes to amaze me and I, myself have not only gotten rounder in all the right places (baby delaney)but am far more confident on most all aspects of my life. Confidence though is not without worry. I worry about the unknown just like the next soul. It's the delight in my family's eyes though and the touch of their skin that keeps that skip in my step.

The baby is growing so wonderfully and being a wiggly little noodle all the time. The most beautiful thing that I am experiencing for the first time is a bond between the wee being in my belly and those around me.... the talks, the touches and the excitement is simply amazing. This has been by far my hardest pregnancy. I attribute that to the fact I am no spring chicken any more and the issues I have had between my last and this one are definitely taking their toll. I've had terrible prolonged sickness, cyst, mystery flank pain, and all that my heart is doing better than I anticipated but as promised.... monitoring that aggressively.  It's quite alright though because in the end there will be a beautiful gift.

I really have the urge to do something creative. I need to scrapbook the florida/wedding vacation... i want to make the baby his very own blanket... I want to get the house ready for him.. I want... I want I want.. and when I do have the time.. I want sleep. lol. Go figure!
