Ordinary days of growing a baby =)

Needless to say...the past 8 weeks have brought a huge HAULT to our "normal" fast-paced routine.  But, we couldn't be more excited for the reason for that hault!!!  A sweet little baby is growing fast...and mommy's body goes ka-put when that happens.  Although we have pretty much been home-bound since December...and there were some very, very challenging weeks and days...I am so thankful for my sweet Bella boo and my  handsome Jackson man who helped bring a smile to my face each day.  They are a constant reminder that all this yuckiness is SO well worth it.  A precious, precious life is quickly developing and we thank Jesus each day for that little life!

So, yes...around 8 weeks of pregnancy I basically feel like I've been hit by a truck and dragged behind it!!  Which means that we slow down our pace of life and just spend time together at home...other wise known around here as "pregnancy survival."

Here are some of my favorite sweet moments from the past 9 weeks....



My dear friend Katie offered to take Bella to ballet each week with her little girl...we were so thankful for sweet friends to help out so Bella could continue to enjoy ballet class!



We had fun doing little school projects together...



Bella and I watched lots of movies together on the couch and had good cuddle time...



Jackson's sweet...easy going personality lit up our days...



Lots of extra time to learn new things and do projects...



Practiced handwriting...



Enjoyed fun snacks together...



Shared sweet sugar...



And just last weekend...we began venturing out...and enjoyed a nice day at the zoo with our cousins!



We are looking forward to slowly getting back into our routine...play-dates with friends...adventures outside on beautiful spring days...and go...go...going together! :)
