19// the lovely folks over at bump nest kindly sent me this pregnancy pillow several weeks back and let me tell you.. it is a god send. i was already a huge advocate for the snoogle, and i have to say that this pillow is even better. although my pregnancy insomnia still lingers, i can't imagine how much worse it would be without this guy.

36// i admit, i was worried about baby's due date being so close to christmas at first, but now i honestly can't imagine anything better than a christmas baby. what a magical time in the world.
and one more very special update...
while this boy keeps me company as i relax in the tub (my bff), i can't get over how proud i am of him. he is blowing us all away by happily gliding through this clinical trial with flying colors. even the doctors are amazed at how well he is doing. he is again in full remission and is scheduled to complete his final chemotherapy treatment in november. we are absolutely in awe of how strong and happy and full of life he is. there is not enough thanks in the world for all of the love that is sent to him continually. we swear that the love medicine works just as well as the doctor's medicine. at this point we are becoming very hopeful that he may still be with us in december to meet his little brother or sister!!
as we are about to embark on november, reflecting on this year brings so much joy and sadness. what a year it has been for our little family. i can't help but wonder how the next two months will unfold.
