One of my favourite books as a kid (or at least one I remember most vividly) was Judith Viorst’s Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day. Even though the illustrations are black and white, Amelia loves it too and often pulls it off the shelf for us to read.

It is hard to believe I’m already halfway through this pregnancy, but we have our 20-week ultrasound next week to determine/confirm that baby #2 is, in fact, a boy. Either way we’ll be happy, of course, but I’m relatively confident it is a boy. Most of the time I don’t really notice that I’m pregnant [...]
