Hello 2nd trimester!!!

Hello friends and family! 

The Mikulin house is SO glad to announce we are in the safe zone- also known as the 2nd trimester! Mark and I are really getting excited to see my bump grow each week and know that Willow is past the scary 1st trimester. Although Im not going to lie, I didnt have that bad of a go at my 1st trimester. Just SUPER tired. All the time. But other than that, it was pretty smooth sailing! We had a lot of fun surprising friends about our upcoming arrival at Mark's 30th birthday- pictures to come soon! I got a great idea off Pinterest (where else) to make a chalkboard to document my belly growing. It was a lot of fun to work on a craft with my husband. Gotta love being married to an engineer! I think of crazy projects and he makes them a reality! I also decided once I started to actually show to wear the same black dress in each picture to really capture how my body is changing. I know- Im THAT girl. Oh well. I missed my 13th week because I was in El Paso for my 10 year high school reunion. Which, btw, was interesting (to say the least) being pregnant and sober. Im going to post week 14 separately but heres what we have so far. :)  

So without further ado- My Bump ladies and gents. :) 

The day after we found out! 1 month! (4 weeks. Duh.)

7 weeks in Capri, Italy! 

First Picture with our chalkboard! 

First picture in my "belly dress"! 

I can already see a difference within one week! 

Im excited to see my belly get even bigger and REALLY excited to find out whether Willow is a girl or a boy. We have names picked out for both so I really wanna get down to some crafting business! Have a great week y'all! 

Love, Peace, and Chicken Grease, 

Susannah, Mark, and "Willow"
