Bits and pieces

Hello Friends,

I'm just checking in. There isn't much to report. I've been doing lots of laying low and getting to bed early. This pregnancy is going pretty well thus far. But I'm absolutely wiped out by dinner time. It's like I've given it all I've got all day and have nothing left in the tank. And the nausea has been a lot worse in the evenings, so I'd rather just sleep through it.

This pregnancy hasn't been as harsh as the last. With Taylor I was sick until 20 weeks and it was absolutely miserable. And I have to admit that when I found out I was pregnant this time around I felt so apprehensive because all of that was still pretty fresh in my memory!

But I was 10 weeks yesterday and if this is as bad as it's going to get I will survive!!!

It's been a rough couple of months for my kids. They've been sick off and on for all of September and October with everything from colds/coughs and fevers to ear infections and pink eye. We've been to Express Care 4 times and filled a variety of prescriptions (our kitchen was starting to look like a pharmacy and I almost needed a written schedule of what medicine to give to which child at what time of day!).

Lily is finishing up a round of anitibiotics, but as of this moment they are both symptom free, healthy and happy. I'm PRAYING for good health for the rest of the season because I am SO TIRED of having sick kids!

All this H1N1 stuff has been making me a little crazy. If my kids get it, that may just push me over the edge. You can't get away from it because so many people are sick and the media loves to talk about it and I've had enough! Everybody needs to relax and use their common sense. God is on the throne. He doesn't slumber or sleep. And nothing about H1N1 is a surprise to Him. Moving on...

On Friday morning Taylor tripped and fell right into the corner of a table in our living room. He split his eyebrow area open and chaos ensued. I spent the next hour or so on the phone with different clinics, nurses, my mom and my husband trying to figure out where to take him. My doctor had a funeral to go to so she couldn't see him. Long story short, a Pediatrician was able to take a look at it and glued it shut. It looks worse than it is because of the dried blood and hair under the glue. But the Ped thinks it'll heal really well and shouldn't scar badly at all.

Are you taking your kids trick or treating? Lily is going to be a butterfly and Taylor is going to be a lion. I can't wait to show you photos of them in their costumes!

After her preschool field trip to the fire station!

He's so darn cute. Irresistible. And delicious.

I've added a poll to my blog. I'd love it if you'd make a guess as to whether you think this baby will be a boy or a girl!
