my baby, the papaya


wow. having the size of my baby translated into fruit is just an interesting concept. it sure provides me with a vivid mental image of what is inside of me. that, and it just plain makes me hungry.

i have started to feel little 'nubee' kicking more and more. well, still more of the fluttering, but i imagine stronger kicks are coming very soon. i am hoping 'nubee' is more laid back than emma, but when i look at my husband, something tells me i am in for another active child. c'est la vie. at least my first darling emma bee is a bundle of pure joy. her zest for life is truly inspiring. and exhausting.

i am amazed that 23 weeks have gone by so quickly. that i am already past the half way mark astounds me. i am full of both excitement and utter anxiety. i see my friend coping with a toddler and a newborn with amazing grace and joy and that really gives me inspiration and hope. then again, i think my friend is a bit more positive than i am in just about everything...so maybe i'll be a blubbering idiot with no clue and crazed fits of hysteria. we'll just have to wait and see. i'm striving for the zen state of mind, personally. *crosses fingers*

I love blogger, I think you will too! I really like your about me and the family sections, they are perfect :)

I feel like a big scatter-brained mess most of the time. Occasionally I'll hit smooth moments and think, "wow! I'm getting having two kids down!" and then I'll practically fall flat on my face (or nearly tip that stroller over, thanks again!) It keeps you humble I suppose ;) Glad we have each other for the support and encouragement- and extra hands!
