Updates!

You may or may not have noticed that I have fallen off of the edge of the blogosphere.
I have only been posting the Mingle With Us Blog Hop on Thursdays, 
and the Pomp Party on Fridays...
for the last three months.

Life has been crazy, and I have been crazy sick.
We are excited to announce that...
I am baking a little peanut right now.
I am 13 weeks along.
I am due December 23.
This pregnancy was actually planned, 
and I wonder if that is why I am way more ill than with my two unplanned pregnancies?

Matt has been truly amazing!
Things fell into place so that he didn't have to go to class this Summer.
The semester started right as I got MAJOR morning sickness.
He has really picked up the slack, and done a great job to take care of me.

The kids are excited for the baby,
though I think it is because of the novelty of it...
and they don't realize that it will change their lives forever.
They are blissfully unaware that the baby is staying...
and not just visiting, then going somewhere else;)

There are lots of changes going on in our house...
It didn't help that leading up to Memorial Day Weekend, 
I hurt my arm and don't know how.
I couldn't use it, couldn't wash my hair, sleep in bed, touch my nose.
Because of the pregnancy, I couldn't take medicine.
I had to get blood tests done...
Wear a sling and a brace.
Fortunately, Matt is going to school for just such problems, 
and he helped do ice therapy and massage to my arm.
The Physical Therapist I went to couldn't believe how fast I healed...
I am now back to 90%.
Though after a mix up with my blood test results, I won't ever go back to his practice.

All of this hitting at once has been draining.
It has also been a forced crash course in HUMILITY.
I can't do it all, and that's okay.
I don't always have to be the tough one.
I have never really been sick, and for that I am grateful.
I take my health for granted, and am not content when I should be.
Each day gets a little better, though the heartburn may kill me:)

Posting will still be sporadic...
It will just depend on how I am feeling.
Thursday and Fridays will be the same as they have been.

Hopefully I will gain the energy to read and comment on blogs,
and use Pinterest again...
Now that the food pins don't make me immediately run to the bathroom:)

Have a super day, and take a nap for me!

Congratulations! I found you through the blog hop actually, and was on my way to follow you as the hostess when I got into your sweet post about all of the exciting changes going on in your life. I'd say you have a pretty good excuse for not posting! ;)

I love you blog header and button. Super cute! Feel free to stop by whenever you have time (no pressure!) ;)
