14 weeks - and a day

No, that is not how long it had been since I posted (although it may be close). It's just how pregnant I am! We are so excited for our third little baby! I'm not gonna lie though, I've been pretty sick...and tired. Nothing serious, just the ever present nausea, strange insatiable hunger, and total lack of energy or enthusiasm for anything. Oh, but I feel so much better now!

I've gained a ton of weight and so look more pregnant than I should. That's what happened for my first pregnancies but I thought I was going to be so good this time. I think I'll just give up on the idea of being skinny with a cute little baby bump. My babies' like a good layer of padding...everywhere!

I'm slowly catching up with dishes and laundry, and am finally starting to make real dinners for us. It was pretty bad there for awhile. Thankfully our bodies are very resilient, and the kids didn't really mind having p.b. and j. or popcorn for dinner.

It feels so good to feel normal! Well, there are still moments of sickness and I need to remind myself not to overspend my slowly increasing energy levels. But hey! Things are good right now!

I am so happy that you are back feeling a little bit better. We miss you guys. Are you going to find out or be suprised whether it is a boy or girl? So excited.

Wohoo babies!!!!! Congrats my friend. And don't worry about the weight or the state of your home-transitory concerns that can be taken care of later. Give that baby all the love and padding you think they need.
