FAMILY DAY WEDNESDAY - LET'S GO EXPLORING


Today, we visited the Morton Arboretum- a little place in the suburbs of the city.  My cutoff shorts
and very white legs made their first appearance of the year, and all three of us are positively
wiped out!  Whew!  When's the next adventure?

    oooh all that green! This looks like such a great place to explore! I hope you had a wonderful family day.

    BTW: those cut offs short are awesome. I feel the need to make a pair of my own because they are that awesome.

    I just stumbled upon your blog from I don't remember where. I've been looking through all your old posts. Lovely photos! I'm a sucker for arboretums, myself. I go fairly frequently myself. My own white legs have yet to make an appearance this year yet and I live in SoCal.

    That is such a special place for me. My parents brought me there when I was Sofia's age, Brandon and I got married there, and now I bring Emma there! It is so beautiful, and your pictures are gorgeous!

From the beginning, this pregnancy seemed so much the same, yet so distinctly different all at once. I didn't get sick, I wasn't too turned away by my favorite foods, I had occasional heartburn here and there and overall, was able to relax and enjoy the experience.  What was strange was how differently I was carrying - having been told more times than I could count that I had looked as if I had "swallowed a basketball".  I think I was persuaded a few times in my head that maybe this was  different, maybe it really was a baby boy.  Yet still, in my heart I had an overwhelming intuition I would be holding another little girl in my arms, someone so very similar to her sister yet so distinctly different all at once.
