Growing pains...

I'm not sure if the reason behind this is that everywhere I look I see someone who's expecting, some of my friends are expecting, every few posts on facebook someone is talking about their pregnancy or the simple fact that my youngest baby girl is growing too fast before my eyes and it's making me want another baby.

These feelings were also conjured up today when I stumbled upon an old picture that someone had taken of myself and a bestie both being 7 months pregnant (and looking fabulous!).  I remember that exact day, how I felt, the weather....everything about that time I enjoyed.  Sure, there were days when I thought I couldn't make it without a 3 hour nap, but overall it was a very enjoyable experience.  Oh, and the fact that I've never really gotten my pre-child body back.  I'm not looking for super model status but somewhere in between would be ok.

I watched tonight as my girls were playing and got the feeling that a little person was missing from this picture.  I'm not sure when this little person will arrive, but I know that I'm not ready to call it quits just yet on the family building.  For right now, I have a 3 legged dog that seems to be filling that gap!  More about him later...

Here goes nothing

Ok..this feels like when you're getting ready to jump into a pool and you're not really sure what temperature the water is.  Could be freezing (not what you really want) or it could be nice and warm (ideal situation).  Either way, this is a jump, a big one for me.  But, really...what's new?!  I'm always venturing into new things and this is just one on the list.  The real reason behind this whole blog-ity-blog is so that I'm able to share ideas, pictures and get advice. (Well amongst a ton of other blog posts I'm sure I'll do as well)  I read a friends blog, which whom I may add I didn't even know blogged, and it was great.  This made me feel great as I wasn't sure what exactly other then pictures I should write about!  I'm having fun, learning and taking some pretty good pics if I do say so myself.  I have a bunch to learn, but I have nothing but time.  Well, not really..but I'll fit it like I seem to always do!  Cheers to 2011 and making new beginnings...here goes nothing!
