Letting the Cat Out of The Bag

My first November baby, born 11/4/11.





My second November baby!  Estimated 11/17/12!



Nick and I are expecting! Yay!

I want to say, I know pregnancy announcements can be very hard and painful to hear.  I had a miscarriage in late October of last year, and it was without a doubt the worst experience of my life.  After my loss, every pregnancy announcement felt like a punch in the gut.  I imagine it is a similar feeling for someone going through infertility.  Though I don't know what that feels like, I know the pain of wanting a baby and not having one, and I'm sure pregnancy announcements create the same mixture of emotions as someone who has recently lost a baby.  If any of my readers are going through a loss or infertility and need to stop reading my blog, I completely understand, and my heart goes out to you. 

The first trimester was incredibly stressful for me, but I'm hoping to soon feel like I can breath a little sigh of relief.  Of course I still have lots of worries, but we've had good signs so far, so we're keeping the faith that our baby is healthy and we will take him/her home in November! 

FYI - I did not make Georgie pose in a bag for my pregnancy announcement post.  She did that all on her own a few months ago and I snapped the photo with my phone.  Kinda like how she jumped in our decorative bowl:


This is probably my favorite picture of Georgie






And since it's probably weird to have more pictures of my cat than my baby on my pregnancy announcement post, here's another sonogram photo:






What?  I just really love my kitty!  Cee Lo understands.
