New pics

I finally got these pics of Shelbi back. Isn't she precious??

She loves to kiss her baby brother!! I really hope she still feels that way once she meets him!

Notice the pink on her sleeve and in her hair. I thought it was neat the way they did that.

Shelbi was really good for most of the time, but towards the end, she was squirmy! It was worth it though.

I just took a walk down to the post office. It's only a half mile each way, but we live at the top of a very steep hill. The walk down was a breeze and only took a couple minutes. The walk BACK, however, was a different story. I'm only wearing a little summer dress because it's SOOOO hot in mi casa. But it's 43 degrees outside. So I bundled Shelbi up in more than 3 layers, and me in a little coat, flip flops and my dress. BIG FREAKING MISTAKE. On the way back up the hill, I could think only of the burning in my chest, and the horrible memories it brought back of the Ranch and how we had to walk UP THAT MASSIVE HILL in the snow, or sun, or whatever kind of weather, and how I hid my trauma by pretending for a while that I LOVED it. I didn't want anyone to think that they had gotten the best of me, so I didn't walk up the hill. I RAN UP IT!! I could not, however, run up the hill this time. I am 8 months pregnant, the wind was blowing, and I'm wearing flip flops on a dirt road. I'm brilliant, I know. PLUS, I was pushing a snug and warm Shelbi in her stroller. I fell into my house and broke down into tears because I hurt so bad.

all that and NO BABY YET!!!

I really wish he'd just come out already!!! I want to meet him, hold him, love him, care for him, and all that good stuff. Oh, and by the way...I FEEL LIKE A MISERABLE FAT COW!! And no matter how hard I try, I cant help but waddle!!

This is what happens on the other side though. This is what I got last time, so there's no telling how wonderful my NEXT little bundle of joy will be.
