Mea Cupla...

I've been horrible at updating the blog...I'm just lazy to be honest, but I am sure most of you know that hahaha...

I'm 25 weeks pregnant this week, and will soon be down in the double digits..I'll be happy to no longer be pregnant and it is beginning to take its toll on my body, I would not advise being pregnant for 2 years...ugh! The problem with just giving birth a year ago, is that all the pain and blood from labor is still fresh in my mind, I had 7 years to banish the horror from my first birth...
Hallie was a difficult labor, hours of pushing and ended up in the OR with forceps, recovery was minimal...Leah was an easy labor, 10-15 mins of pushing but she ripped me a new asshole (literally) and dealing with a 3rd degree tear is no picnic..I was not able to sit properly for 6 weeks..bad memories...

So please send me good labor vibes this time...



I've got a few more of Leah's birthday pics to share...she is just so darn cute I can't resist



Love this pic...daddy's girl..











Finally got Hallie in the pool this week...it was 5 years in the making



I would have gotten video, but I have been so clumsy I am certain the video camera would have landed in the water, then I would have had to drown myself before Doug found out


Hallie made an addition to our flowerbed by our front walkway...I'm sure the male guests will appreciate her

Another sweet face...

Little whale spout on the top of her head..her hair is finally growing..

yes, that is a microwave meal she is eating....I'm a horrible mother..

Doug and I are going to the states this weekend for some shopping, I will be leaving Leah for the 1st time, well for more than one day/night..I'm still breastfeeding, but I think that she is getting close to weaning, she now only wants to nurse through the night...I'm not ready to give up nursing, it is special time between me and Leah, I'm hoping that if I keep on nursing it will not be painful when I nurse the next one, those 1st few weeks are brutal on the boobies...

I have finally decided that if this baby is a boy, he will be named after an English King..which one will it be...

Henry/Harry

Edward

James

William

I just need to convince Doug, and that might be harder than giving birth..
