All has been well with my pregnancy - I feel very blessed. The reality is hitting both Adam and me, though, as I get bigger and the date gets closer ----- . This is really happening! It's crazy, the mixture of emotions. Mostly excitement. Today in the mail I received a St. Gerard medal from my mom. She has been wearing one, to help protect my pregnancy, and I told her I'd like one, too. Here is the prayer that came with it:
"...before you were conceived, I wanted you.
...before you were born, I loved you.
...before you were here an hour, I would die for you - this is the miracle of life."

You are beautiful! We've been thinking about you. I have the note you sent in the mail in my "to do pile" on the counter so I remember to write back to you. I will get it done one of these days, I promise!
I think that being tired during pregnancy is just preparation for the exhaustion that comes with having a newborn in your house!
I love reading about your feelings as you go through this pregnancy. It's amazing, still, the second time around, but there's nothing like the wonderment that comes with experiencing the fullness of this miracle for the first time.
Thinking of you always,

I love the picture and the post.. that is such a special thing, you and your mom both wearing the medal, very sweet, can't believe I haven't heard of that before. Hope you are getting some rest and relaxation in!
(((LWB))) Saw your mom today, but we didn't talk about our kids. Except I did see ACGS this past weekend, as we were at some family gatherings with all the clan and family.
