My belly 🥰🥰🥰

I am 10 weeks pregnant and I'm absolutely in love with this whole process! It's hard to believe it's happening. Everyday feels like a gift...  My belly has started to pop 🥰😬🎉  Thank you God for this amazing blessing... 

2,400 times

The average person pees anywhere between six to eight times a day. A pregnant woman on average pees between 10 and 12 times a day.  So that means between now and my delivery I'll have about 2400 times that I used the loo.  Oversharing? Sorry.  But let's revisit what it is like to miscarry a baby. I've had different miscarriages. The first one was spotting. Unexpected spotting, on a day I felt a twinge and smugly thought to myself maybe it was the very day the heart started beating.  I've had a quiet loss. No signs, no warnings. But also no heartbeat. A little baby, with motionless arms motionless legs and a tiny form, Frozen on the screen. Any uncomfortable clearing up their throat before the doctor says what I already know.  I've had a gradual loss. Where the heart beat seemed off, and the sack was too small. Where "only time can tell". And what time told me, was another Baby gone too soon.   And then there's the traumatic loss. The sudden gush of war...

My Amazing Christmas Decorations 2019

I had the best Christmas decorations this year. I really loved them. What's interesting is there are a lot of decorations I didn't even put out. But the ones I did, I love ❤️❤️🌲❤️❤️ I bought a small tree for the buffet, to continue Grandmom's tradition. I put out all of our White House ornaments.  I got a $1 real pine Garland on Christmas Eve (a sale!) And Tom and I put it over this walkthrough Liam's elf did some decorating one night with snowflakes. In a weird coincidence, that same week I offered extra credit to my students who made snowflakes. Anyway I loved this addition!  My tree had minimal ornaments this year.aybe 1/3 of what I have in the box. I liked it that way!  I did just a few knock knacks on surfaces. Snowmen, trees and white reindeer.
