What I am looking forward to:  Girls night out concert tmrw!  Ingrid Michaelson!!

This was a tough week.  A stomach bug had its way with my family and it was no fun.  Jude and Caleb got sick on Wednesday and then Jude and I again on Friday.  He basically threw up a few times in the middle of the night and then was 100% back to normal.  Kids are soo resilient.  I, on the other hand, was totally out of commission for about 24 hours.  Thanks goodness for my mama for taking care of both of us.   Unfortunately, we missed my cousin Jessica's bridal shower and then Sarah and Ralphie got sick the next day so we missed our Jason Aldean/ Luke Bryan concert =(                         

I will start taking weekly belly shots this week - week 9.  I was waiting for a special prop to come in=)

7 Week Update

Milestone:  Hands and feet are emerging from baby's arms and legs this week!

I made a mistake last week.  Baby is actually the size of a blueberry this week.  It was the size of a small pea last week.  Currently about 0.5 inches.

Finally...

Well it took 15 lonnggg cycles of trying but Baby #2 is on the way.  It definitely has been a roller-coaster of emotions and I couldn't be happier.  Baby is due February 28, 2013.

I'll take a belly pic once there's more to show than bloat.
