We had a great Christmas! My whole family was able to get together earlier December, EVERYONE was together. I know that won't happen all that often. We had a great time doing things together, including a fun gingerbread house party at our house for all the kids!
The reason I have disappeared for so long and have NO pictures to show for it is because I found out early December that I am expecting our third baby in August!! And I don't know why but the nausea this pregnancy was REALLY BAD, even compared to my first two ~ which weren't all that fun either. Besides the normal stimuli that make a pregnant woman more nauseous, I found that anything creative also did the trick for me. So I had a really hard time even seeing my camera sit innocently on the desk in the office. So forget blogging or editing all those pictures I took in December :( (I'm really sorry, by the way to those of you still waiting, I should be back to it soon!) I have actually been feeling better as far as the morning sickness goes. But wouldn't you just know it, I had one great day where I spent a lot of time cleaning (to make up for all the time I hadn't been able to clean) and then I started coming down with the flu thing that is going around. Sore throat, congestion, aches, fever . . . if you've had it this season, you know what I am talking about. I am still so happy to not be feeling nauseous, I am really looking forward to getting through this cold so I can get to that second trimester nesting stage. I have a lot to do.
At my last appointment, keep in mind I was only 12 weeks along, they told me what the baby was going to be. Sorry, I am going to keep it to myself for just a few more weeks. The doctor said at that stage it's just a "definite maybe" kind of prediction. So we'll see if they were right in 3 weeks. But I mentioned it because I didn't know it was possible to find out so early, kind of cool.
