it’s sometimes crazy for me to believe my body has already done this whole pregnancy and birth thing a couple times before.  i find it incredibly fascinating just how different each pregnancy and birth can be from the next, even when it’s the same you and your body each time.

i know i’ve said it before, but i really enjoy being pregnant.  ...

the littles and i spent several hours yesterday at a nearby splash pad playing our tiny hearts out in the water. or the kids did at least, while mama enjoyed sitting on the warm cement nearby not doing a thing besides watching from afar. (i so appreciate this when my fatigue levels with my current pregnancy are out of this world higher than what i experienced with both eleanor and samson.)

having a two and three year old is like a dream for me this summer… no one is just learning to walk that i need to shadow, or putting weird clumps of dirt or leaves or other odd things in their mouths, and for the most part, they play nicely with each other and are at those fearless ages where making new friends everywhere we go comes easy to them....
