I'm Back . . . Hopefully

It's too far past Christmas to spend a lot of time on that.  And I'll be honest . . . I didn't take a lot of "christmassy" pictures.  I did take a lot of pictures for other people - but not so much of our Christmas, which is a shame.

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.

I was wondering! Congrats on the big news but I'm sorry you've been so sick. Thinking about morning sickness makes me sick. I'm so excited for you. And I look forward to seeing some posts now that you are feeling a bit better. Try not to overdue it with all day cleaning sprees :)

Hooray!!! Congrats to you and Adam. And pregnancy sucks . . . but babies are great! :) I'm super happy for you guys. I moved the dining room table today (that just-before-baby nesting thing, I suppose), and had to sweep and mop underneath. By the time I was half-way through, I was out of breath, my hips and back hurt, and I had to sit down. Oh, the joys of bringing little love bugs into the world. :)
