Second Trimester

I was worried that I'd forgotten how to work this thing - the blog - but luckily, they make it practically idiot-proof.

My second trimester of pregnancy has flown by.  I've always been a "work hard, play hard" type of person.  Well, at least, work-out hard and play sort of hard-as-long-as-I'm-in-bed-by-10:30 type of person.  Lately, it's still been work-out hard.  I'm teaching kickbox, cycle and boot camp at a local gym.  And I'm determined to not let my modest tennis gains slide.  I try to devote a couple of hours each week to the court.  My play hard has turned into nap hard, which is more like a death sleep.  The dogs and I rack out every afternoon and God help the person who unknowingly calls during this time.

The hubby and I have attended several "Birth of Your Baby" classes.  We've learned how to change a diaper, feed the baby, bathe the baby, hold the baby.  Everything besides how to actually raise a child.  It's a scary, daunting task.  Our world is about to be rocked and what if I'm no good at adjusting to it?  And how does one truly prepare for something so momentous?  I guess I'm about to find out.

Happy Holidays!  2011 Christmas Card



































































































Christmas is just a few days away and as the year wraps up, I'll be entering the third and final stage of pregnancy.  With a babymoon, baby shower, maternity photoshoot and nursery preparation, we have plenty to keep us busy for the first couple of months of 2012.  









 And then I hope to have a few minutes of clarity and relaxation before introducing Miss Annabelle Aaron to the world.
THE BABY!
