The whoosh of the umbilical cord and the pounding of the heart beat filled the small office, as I lay with my eyes closed, picturing my sweet Baby growing perfect and strong in my expanding belly.

13 Weeks {Second Trimester Has Begun}
Truly, one of the only topics that I can think about this weekend is the fact that we've made it into the second trimester. David, myself, and baby Hasz. Our little growing family.

A swelling waistline and a craving for my bed. That just about sums up the past two weeks. I've not quite been updating my blog... Continue Reading →
