Thump, Thump, Baby Bump

These were shot the night of the famous annular solar eclipse, and what you don't see is a hillside of people set to watch it!  Lucky me, I tagged along with Rach and Tameisha to capture her bridals and we were able to snap of few of the this baby bump as well!

This was a few weeks ago.  

Me and the peanut @ 22 weeks.  

Just a few days after my ultrasound, with gender heavy on my mind.  Now that time has passed, I can confidently say I'm over that bit...but have another ultrasound scheduled for later in the pregnancy so I'm sure the saga will continue!

This pregnancy has been different from Jude because...

I'm still feeling like I'm 40 weeks along 4 out of the 7 days of each week.
ahem, bloated!

This child is a strong kicker and a mover.

And this early summer sizzle might just get the best of me!  But, I got a cute pair of maternity cut-off shorts for my birthday, and a pool nearby, so I think I will manage.

Our lives right now are busy.  Of course!

Good friends getting married...a certain little boy about ready to turn 2...getting ready to say good-bye to the crib, and hello to a bed.

*AND*

Selling and buying a house (hopefully) 

Leading me to some sleepless nights.

I have anxiety over such a large decision.

We are trying to find the house our family will grow up in, so when we're out looking at properties I have to picture us bringing home the newbie babe, the kids playing in the yard, me bringing in the groceries, kids running a muck, bathing the kids, Dave working late in the office, kids coming home from school and setting their backpacks on the table, backyard cook-outs, family movie nights, where our Christmas tree will go--you know, the whole gambit!  

And that is us @ 22 weeks.
