We’re still here. I’m still puking – sometimes. I’m 12 weeks now, and hoping things start looking up soon. I called the OB today, scheduled my first appointment. Gee, I can’t wait. There’s been speculation regarding my sister’s twins and her sick desire for me to experience twins as well, so ruling that out will be lovely. Not too worried, but saying “I told you so” to Erin will be sweet. She can keep that experience all to herself!
We went to my parents while Blaine was on location in Florida Feb 27-March 10. Mom and Dad have newborn lambs – although the ewes seemed hesitant to kick into high gear until we were getting ready to leave. Liberty and Eden thoroughly enjoyed the sheep though. Sterling says they are scary and Ruby says that unless Momma goes too, she ain’t going. Momma didn’t go. There’s lots of snow to sled on in South Dakota though, and Dad made a few sledding hills for the kids to play on. I took naps and was generally lazy. Thanks, Mom.
On the way back through, we visited friends in Iowa. The kids have made friends for life in the 52 hours total they’ve spent with those kids. Fun times. I love meeting up with friends I’ve had since childhood and watching our children become friends too. The dirt they could dig up on Momma that way…
Weather in Missouri is warmer. Apparently we missed some of the really warm stuff, but it’s still warmer. The sound of the birds in the morning is a cheery thought. Spring can come. 🙂
I’m not feeling funny. At all. It’s hard to blog when I’m only upright because I already took one nap, the house needs work but I’m not quite getting there… and I can’t find a stinking thing funny right about now. See why I haven’t written?
My girls, on the other hand, are figuring out pregnancy. Too many episodes of “A Baby Story” later, their favorite game is labor and delivery. Eden just announced to Liberty that Liberty is 9 centimeters and almost ready to push. I am slightly disturbed, and yet… it’s life. They also pretend to give epidurals. Eden was thrilled that the pin they found to use “doesn’t even hurt because I’m so chubby”. Oh, but I wish it worked that way. That’s not life.
So glad to hear from you! I hope you feel better soon. My girls are playing wrestle on a regular basis. The three things I hear the most in a day is: “Bear’s sick. He just puked.” “I just fell on my bum bum.” (preschool word, I guess.) and “Mom, can you wrestle?” I don’t know if I could handle the baby delivery scenario yet. I’m sure it helps relive all the fun you’ve had and will have. 🙂 Miss you!
