I was inspired to finally take that first picture by Sarah. Thanks Sarah! I needed a kick in the butt otherwise Crouton is going to think I didn't care. For the record, I am only going to do this monthly this time around. That said -- here we are:
I would like to point out that I usually am wearing baggy stuff, and covered in fleece or hoodies, so it's not like you could *really* see anything yet anyway. ;) I did take a bare belly shot or two, but no one needs to see those Morella is doing great today...well better than the rest of this week has gone. I was able to entertain her this morning by having her help me peel beets. She didn't eat much lunch and had really heavy eyelids by the end of it. I put her down for her nap and she didn't make a fuss. She was tired!
This afternoon we are going to the Sun Prairie library -- an adventure for us -- to hang with Noah and Ann. I think Morella has a little cabin fever so she will probably enjoy this trip. I am also not feeling as terrible today -- so hopefully it won't be a huge chore. It's amazing what a difference having a day without a headache makes.
That said, I should hustle to bed and see if I need a nap. It's my single parenting day, so I really have to take corners where I can.

Awh...cute! Look at your bashful Mona Lisa smile. I definitely see a baby-pouf in there. I'm glad to get both of us started on the occasional belly pic.
It's definitely harder to focus on this pregnancy with another needy little one around. So far mine has raced by, although each day of morning sickness felt like an eternity. Nothing is novel, I'm not pondering the weird sensations in depth this time around, and I have other things on my mind like getting Ruth three decent meals a day -- and cleaning up afterward.
Also, most other people aren't as excited about the second pregnancy, so I'm not displaying the enthusiasm and curiosity I did during the first. It's a little hurtful, but understandable. It's not like I made a huge fuss about their second (third, fourth) albums, live shows, art exhibits, novels, dress sizes lost, whatever.
The second babies are special and unique humans in their own right, whose entrance to the world should be celebrated as much as anyone's. Just because I've done it before doesn't mean Twinkle has! Still, I feel like it'll be mostly up to me and Dave -- and maybe my close family -- to make such celebration happen.
Bah. that was all probably better left for a letter.
