Today I've been thinking a lot about how much I love Aspen and Oakley. We've been hanging around the house lately and it's given me a chance to spend lots of time with them. Today we played with cars and blocks and shaving cream, and had a great time.
The truth is we've been spending a lot of time at home because I'm in my 14th week of pregnancy and I don't often feel like getting an early start in the morning (unless it's grocery day), or even leaving the house! Another truth is that I don't favor being pregnant. I'm one of those girls that finds out I'm pregnant and one second later my belly pops out. The weight gain starts immediately no matter what I do, and I don't feel very pretty for the next 9 months. I'm jealous of the high school girls who get shipped off during their pregnancy and magically reappear 10 months later without anyone seeing them in all their pregnant glory!! Okay I'm being a little facetious but not completely. Can't I spend the next 6 months in Italy somewhere? honey? :)
But today I was looking at my beautiful children and thinking, "yeah it sucks, but boy is it worth it!" I know that seems obvious, but it's nice to really let that sink in now and then. I couldn't ask for more amazing kids, and am excited to get to know this one that's coming. I really am a blessed mother!
