The Hannig Home

I am relaxing in my bed at 9pm on a Monday night.  I open my bedroom window and the sounds of frogs and crickets rush in.  It's amazing - the sound, the volume .  There must be thousands out there in our woods and pond.  As I take in the sweet sounds of Spring, I watch my belly bounce with the kicks of the baby growing inside.  Tomorrow I am 30 weeks pregnant, just 10 more to go.  Newborns are hard.  Hard.  But I think of Luke and Benny and can't believe I will have another baby to love so deeply.
