The Ups and Downs

The Art of the Pregnant Hug

Figuring out how to get a decent hug while hugely pregnant has been a bit of a puzzle. Side hugs are the new cool thing. With a big 'ol baby in the front makes for practically zero contact or weird acrobatics. At least my belly doesn't hinder any kisses! :)

Tearful Hugs

Mike is used to my tears. He is quite comfortable with my outbursts. I suppose folks don't really think about the possibility that I might be nervous or anxious about having a baby. I haven't really given birth to a baby before... its kind of a big deal. Mike is really good about reassuring me and cheering me on. That helps a lot.
