So… lately I’ve been obsessing over this photo that we have on our fridge:
I can sometimes be found with a milk jug in one hand, the open fridge door in the other, gawking at this glorious photo while time stands still.
I look at that little bundle of heaven I had in my arms and can’t believe that my spunky, hilarious, strong, independent, quick, sweet, talkative, constantly-on-the-go toddler easily fit within the length of my forearm not that long ago.
I just want another one of those.
If I wasn’t already pregnant I’d be trying to be.
Cuz I just want another one of those. Oh wait, I already said that.
Lucky for me that in 27 weeks I get to do it all over again.
Those beautiful expressions on our faces – Enthralled Mama and Proud Papa? They will make another grand entrance.
Yup, 27ish more weeks.
I can’t wait.
Take your time sweet baby. Although I can’t wait… this mama can wait. Grow well. Grow strong. Grow healthy. This is the only time we’ll ever have together when I don’t have to share you with the world.
excited is an understatement,

I want to say that I remember reading on one of your posts that you are planning to do VBAC??– if I get pregnant soon, I would love to keep in touch with you about any info we come across. I'm really hoping I don't have to get another c-section!

31 March 2011 at 1:41 pmI agree with Kerry…it seems so long ago and yet it just flew by. However, for me it was over 2 years ago since I've had a baby in the house. 🙁

31 March 2011 at 6:10 pmThese kinds of photos make ME want another. And I hated being pregnant worse than anything. Sigh…but to hold a sweet little baby again…..oh boy. Baby Fever.

31 March 2011 at 6:14 pmWhat a beautiful picture. It almost makes me want another. ALMOST (but not quite). Enjoy this wonderful time. It's a season that will never come again.

HUGELY wonderful.

31 March 2011 at 6:27 pmAwe!! I want another one of those itty bitty babies, too!! (someday i'll have another one!). Those first few moments in the hospital are so precious. I didn't get nearly as many photos as I should of, I'd love to gawk at one on my fridge, too! 🙂
