{growing}

well, I suppose it's time to go public

considering the spare tire that has attached itself to my midsection grows daily

and i've been in several conversations where eyes wander from my face,

to my midsection

 yes, #4 is on HIS (for the sake of expectations) way!!

(his first pic, taken a few weeks ago)

i am just about to enter my second trimester

and every day so far has felt like a small triumph

it is a true miracle that i have not thrown up one time

--even though i have felt plenty crummy--

it is a HUGE blessing that i do not take lightly

(and possibly has contributed to my faster than normal spare tire growth)

we are all very excited for this new life that is being formed

i can't wait till i'm feeling better, and can begin to create a space

for the newest fedeli

thank you, LORD
