Let’s wrap up the end of good old 2012. I’ll be honest, I’m not sorry to see it go, 2012 was a long hard year.
The ever present bright spot in every day, every week, every month, and especially in this long hard year is crazy loving Henny.
Man alive I could never have told you how much I love being this chump’s mom, it didn’t take me by surprise so much as it’s just overwhelming. More than I expected, and toddler Henry is an unstoppable force. I had no idea that I’d love the toddler age so much, much much more than the adorable infant age.
He’s wild and sweet all at the same time. Frustrating and loveable, shy and fearless.
He keeps me so busy it’s almost easy to forget about this pregnancy all together. Or…it would be if I weren’t suffering from HG again. Well, that and the ever present bump continues to grow! It’s true that I look bigger earlier this second time around. As if my uterus and abdomen never really forgot and rejoiced at the earliest opportunity to fulfill their large destiny.
Started small at 11 weeks (the fanny pack and tubing you see is a zofran pump, kepeing me well-ish and out of the hospital)
12 weeks
14 weeks
Moving right along!
The nicest thing that I threw out with the old year is the pump! I’m grateful that it was available, it kept me out of the hospital, and kept me from losing any more weight, but it really sucked! I took this picture the last day I used it, ouch!
And I’m perfectly happy to say goodbye to one month’s worth of needles
2012 brought some great news for us in this second pregnancy, I’m just hoping 2013 brings more of the good, with a little less of the bad.









happy new year
love that baby bump!
Ouch! That looks painful! I’m glad you were able to get rid of the pump. Wishing you the best in 2013!! Love your bump!
Happy New Year! I so missed you’re blogging again (tumbler just wasn’t the same). So sorry to hear you are dealing with HG again this time!! At least Princess Kate has some good company. So excited to follow along. We are 95% sure we’re “one and done” so I’ll just enjoy it through you!
So toot! Glad you are back over hither or yonder or here.
Awww, is that a Corolle doll? Mia got that same one for Christmas! Along with a girl so she can have twins like me. Hope you are feeling better…
Hey Happy 2013!! That pump looks incredible, your belly (and you) super cute, and Henry….soooo sweet. I love that little face gazing at his little boy doll. Big brother time!! So excited for you and wow, 14 weeks in already. This will be a big year for you and I’m happy I get to follow along! Ever think of going to blogher?
I’ve followed you ever since finding your blog on the April Due Drops site from the birth month board on The Bump. Our sons are almost the same age and I love seeing how you’re doing. Just saw you moved back to this site… I hope 2013 is nothing but awesome for you and am beyond excited about your second little guy or gal!
huge congrats to you guys – somehow missed that you were pregnant again but super wonderful news. Finally true here too, 17 weeks with twins today after horrible debilitating HG throughout the first tri (wish they offered the pump in the UK!) – hope you’re feeling better and doing well. will look forward to following.
Happy New year and congrats on baby #2!!
