Dreary day after not much sleep last night...
Went to church this morning, even though not feeling too well. It made me feel better for a bit, but now I am just exhausted. I think nap time is almost essential to me getting through this day. I was offered a job at Motherhood maternity, but I think I will be unable to accept it due to how long it has taken them to offer it. Now I only have a couple of months before I leave again. I look forward to these months passing quickly.
Matthew sent some pictures as you can see on the last post. He surprised me and wow is he getting bigger or what!?! He called today, a bit bummed. He isn't sure exactly what he wants to do so right now is a big "up in the air" time for us both. Our lives are pretty great the way they are, but both of us love change and are trying to figure out where to go from here.
Anyway, the puppies are being sweet as ever. They give mommy lots of kisses and lovin' while their daddy is gone. In many ways I am SURE they know every mood I am. The good days and the bad, they know how to make it all worth while.
Layla is growing ever so much and the belly has really started to pop as you can see in the pictures above. We are growing like crazy and I think I may have finally resorted to just being happy and thankful with how my body is growing and changing during the pregnancy. It is a beautiful thing and AFTER the pregnancy is when i need to start worrying about the way it looks. Right now, I cannot be anything other than PREGNANT and getting more obviously so every week. I must admit though, I love this belly.....I talk to her and rub my belly every day often times just laying silently feeling her move. What a peace and joy it brings. I cannot wait to be a mom! I think some people are just cut out for it at an early age and I am thankful that I think Matthew and I are just those types of people. Parenthood really doesn't scare me, not with matthew by my side. The only thing I am scared of is this CRAZY world that we have to bring her up in.
Well, off for a nap for the two of us. The babies are sleeping in the sunroom already. It's a lazy Sunday and sometimes, these are the best kind of days.

Hi Katie and Matthew,
Even though we've never met, I almost feel like we have; I am Joyce's sister Lois and have been hearing lovely stories about you (Katie) all your life! Joyce told me about your website, and I have been enjoying the pictures and descriptions of your pregnancy and anticipated birth of little Layla Joyce. My best wishes to you three! I know you will be wonderful parents.
