The only way to accurately summarize my feelings at this point----FATNESS!! I thought pregnancy was supposed to be a thing of beauty. Evidently, not for me. Instead, my body looks like a fat, little sausage stuffed into clothing and my complection resembles that of an adolescent---far from glowing. Chris has been great, he at least tells me I look great, etc., but I am not sure his words are satisfying. I am looking forward to this fatness being over and a true sign of pregnancy to unfold as I have no belly to truly speak of. I just look like I ate too many donuts. I still haven't told many people at work of our expectant arrival. I guess I don't know exactly how to bring it up. I have a number of people that I talk with on a regular basis, but our conversations are somewhat superficial. I am sure with time, the news will spread. I did tell a few of my students. Two of my students thought I should combine their names to make our child's name. The result would be: DeLorena. Quite a name!
So, we are still roughing it in our amazingly, wonderfully fabulous, new house. That means, air mattresses in our living room. Fun. The girls love it, Chris and I not so much ;) Anyway, the close proximity means Chris and I get to eavesdrop on some very tender moments. They seriously bring tears to my eyes. How did we get so lucky to have them as our children??? Here's one example. Claire--"Mya, can we snuggle?" Mya--"sure." Claire--"don't let go." Mya--"No, I'll just wait until you are sleeping." Claire--"No, you wait until the middle of the night." Mya--"Okay, I'll wait until the middle of the night." Then we hear lips smacking. So cute. I won't share the meltdown that occured moments before this sweetness ;) Life isn't always rosey, now is it? Ha! In other news..we get internet today and our furniture/things tomorrow! That means 1 more night of "roughing it!" Yippee!
