We have had a restful Spring Break week. It was oh so needed, but Chris and I both are ready to get back and finish the final 9-weeks of the school year. It is hard to believe that summer is lurking just around the corner. God is good!!!I am adding a couple of 16 week belly pictures. To me, the 4th and 5th months serve as the bridge between the yucky 1st trimester and the miserable 3rd trimester. I am happy to have reached that milestone. In addition, I feel pretty good most days, with the exception of sinus/allergy headaches....darn pollen!! Until we meet again, enjoy the belly pics. Also, Lauren insisted that she have a picture made too. So, enjoy her cute pics with her disheveled hair, but absolutely adorable smile. Brandi

I am up very early on this first day of Spring Break. I couldn't sleep, as I have so much on my mind. Thoughts of the baby Chris and I lost last summer consume me today. Am I sad? At this point, the grief process is different. Yes, there are times such as this week when our little one would have been due, that thoughts of loss rush back in. I am reminded though of how far we have come. While losing a child so early into a pregnancy, I never got the opportunity to get to know him/her. However, I will always have my precious angel in Heaven. God has blessed our family so much, and he continues to do so. Lauren is our absolute joy, and our newest family member will be joining us in August. We choose to move on, yet never forget those than have gone before us. God bless!...more to come as Baby #2 continues to grow like a weed and Mommy "blossoms" as well. Brandi
...my waist line and probably my weight!!! I am attaching a couple of pictures Chris snapped of me tonight. I am 14 weeks; however, I look more like 5 months. YIKES! I've always heard that most women show sooner in the second pregnancy. Well, I would have to confirm the validity of that statement. I am well on my way to looking like I ate a bowling ball. It's hard to believe I could barely eat until about two weeks ago. Enjoy the belly pics..more to follow. I am going to try to take a picture every week...or every other week. That is one thing I regret not doing when I was carrying Lauren. I would love to compare where I was then to where I am now at each stage. God Bless,Brandi
