Marion Makes…

I keep putting off posting because I feel like my next post “should be” a monthly but now I haven’t posted in months and that is dumb.

I’m experiencing overwhelming emotions that I really want to articulate and share, about how my kid is a kid now.

She has been roughly the same size for months. She looks a little older in the face, but not that much. What has really changed, what’s really making me realize she’s not a baby anymore, is her behavior.

This little girl is so much more curious, communicative, and confident than before. She truly moves like a child now. She gets bumps and scrapes because she’s wildly throwing herself into her life. She’s incredibly aware of what’s going on around her and wants to understand it all.

She doesn’t need a stroller for us to go on a walk anymore 😭😭

It’s really hitting me. It’s shocking, and amazing and wonderful and also scary as hell. My daughter is a kid, not a baby. When did that happen?

Baby James and I are in third trimester now. He seems like he wants to move more every day. He makes me more uncomfortable with how he lays than Erica ever did too, lol. But because of PT and the activity of moving into Grandma’s house (yeah that’s a thing too), my sciatic pain has been greatly diminished this time around. It’s a huge relief. I dunno how things will play out as the pregnancy continues, but I’m grateful as hell to not be in as much pain this time, especially since I’m bigger than I was by now with Erica.

There’s my lil mini update. Luh ya.
