Baby Lamotta is due September 28th, 2017! Today is 5/11/17 which means I’m 20 weeks! Throw the confetti! I’m halfway there! (WOAHHHH… LIVIN’ ON A PRAYERRRRR) Baby is the size of a paper airplane. I’ve gained… only 8 pounds! I checked all my baby apps and they said 10-12 is the norm so I have no clue how I’m only 8 pounds heavier. But Erica tells me it looks like I’ve actually lost weight. Perhaps it was the whole being sick most of this pregnancy…

A week after I found out I was pregnant, I wrote this about my grief during pregnancy. I still have some of these same fears, but I feel less terrified now that I know she’s a girl. It feels like my mom gave me this gift from the beyond. <3 —– They don’t tell you how you’ll feel when life begins again. Grief had taught me many things over the last seven months, but it didn’t teach me how to feel about new life. It didn’t tell me how terrified I’d…

She let Jude help with the doppler and then let him listen to his own heartbeat too. Baby’s heartbeat…
Often since my mom passed away, I think of the turns in life that didn’t happen the way we expected and I wonder if things would have turned out differently. When we lived in Germany and were getting ready to come back to the States, we were originally headed to California for our next base assignment. My mom sold every piece of winter clothing we had. At the last minute, things changed. We ended up getting stationed at Fort Drum, NY. Obviously, my mom wasn’t thrilled she’d let all our snow suits go. And…
