an early picture of our baby



today we had a biophysical ultrasound to check our baby's growth and make sure everything is as it should be.
this kid is estimated to be about the same size as my last few kids.  by the time I go into labor it is likely that I will have another 9.5 pound baby again.


I am starting to have a little bit of anxiety.  but I'm a big girl and can deal with it. and what I can't do, my perfect husband will help me through.
but I am also excited to meet this little person with my terrific husband.  I cherish these very private moments we've had welcoming our new children into the world and into our lives and this time will be no different.
we are anxious to see who this baby is going to look like and who they will be when they grow up.  we are very anxious to cuddle and love this beautiful person.  We're excited to introduce him/her to our other children and have that wonderful moment with each of them.

jotting it down so I won't forget...

I still have to get through pictures of Emma's birthday.  they will be coming.  but I had a couple of Kidisms that I wanted to remember.  if I don't put it down here or somewhere else easily accessible I will forget what it was and all we will remember will be the day we laughed our fool heads off...

there are times when everything just falls into a pit of hilarious.  Kids have a way about them that make some moments so completely priceless....
last week.  Emma was drawing a picture for school I think, about Fire Safety.  they were supposed to illustrate getting out of the house, or being "rabbit ready"  so she draws this picture. (I'll see if I can get a picture of it some time)  it's a building - some kind of inner city apartment building with flames coming out of the windows.  there are ladders up against the sides of the building and little people on the ladders.
then she draws our house.  it too is on fire.  she has drawn the entire family fleeing from our burning home and Ronan tells us "then they run into the other building on fire".  upon looking at the picture, it does look like we are running away from one fire only to climb the ladders of the other burning building.


later that day.   it is not uncommon for Tim and I to have a conversation about something only to find ourselves stuck on a word or phrase that -for whatever reason- we can't dislodge from our brains.  we will then drop the conversation only to randomly pick it up again, many minutes and sometimes hours later, without batting an eye.  this conversation we had led us up to an adjective that neither of us could put our finger on at the moment and so we went on about our day.  about 20 minutes later I say "catatonic?" and Tim says "no".  Then Emma says "for a baby name?!"

hours of laughter!!!

I do believe there was one more Ronan moment that I am forgetting.  I'll have to ask Tim.  I wish I would have written it down already

almost 2 years have gone by

why do I always do this? so many things have happened in the past two years.  I just feel so silly that I haven't kept up on the blog.  ...
