GROWING....and SHRINKING

All Things Growing....
  • belly
  • appetite
  • chest (not such a bad thing)
  • bum & thighs (this IS a bad thing)
  • emotions
  • anxiousness to start decorating a little girl nursery
  • nervousness about how fast this pregnancy is going
  • love for my husband who puts up with me
  • JADIN! (where is my little baby boy?)
  • impatience for SUNSHINE
  • cravings for candy
  • confusion of what to name our baby girl

(I am about 20 weeks along now)

All Things Shrinking:

  • sleep time
  • my favorite jeans (I swear they are!)
  • our tiny apartment
  • time left before baby comes
  • Jake's patience with my highs & lows
  • time between bathroom breaks
  • time in the day to get things done
  • confidence that I can handle 2 children only 21 months apart!!!!

I know it feels like so much! The good news???? Millions of woman around the world have 2 kids and somehow they all survive, and many of them even like it enough to have more! Head, you are an amazing mom and you are going to be FABULOUS at it! We can't wait to find out what her name is and meet her! We love you guys!!!

You will be fine with 2 kids. It's for sure a hand full, but you can do it. Jadin is such a good little guy, and he will love having a little sister to pick on. I'm sad your moving, and probably won't see you much any more, but you are always welcome to come by any time. Good Luck with everything, you look great.

You look so cute with that tiny little tummy! I am so excited that it's a little girl!!! Jadin will be such a cute big brother!!

Andrea said...

Head, you'll be awesome! I think it will be easier for you than the 6 year break we had before having a second one! Anyway, girls clothes for sure coming your way. Maybe we could meet in Provo so you can go through them and pick what you want!

You are too cute! I'm so excited for you, and in the 12 days of having a girl :), I know that it's tons of fun. I love to dress her up and it's just been fun thinking of all the fun things we'll be able to do together (getting hair done for banquets, shopping, etc). I love seeing the updates! Hows the halau?

Take care!

Heather, you can do it! I know you can. If I could, you can. Ku'uliko and Kalei are 20 months apart and Kalei and this baby will be 21 months apart. Pretty crazy but it'll be worth it when you see your two kids playing happily together. That won't come for a while but it's so worth it when you witness it. Yes, I'm still pregnant. 38 and 1/2 weeks. That's the longest I've ever been pregnant so we'll see what happens. It was so good to hear from you. We live in Springville. It's right below Provo. We like it here. We should get together sometime. I have the same Hawaii number. Anyways, take care and good luck with everything.
