A Whole Lotta Nothin...

Not much to say. Seems like my motto these days. Seems like each day is just day in and day out, same ol' routine. Some variations but pretty much the same.

The munchkin has done a GREAT job of melting my heart the past couple of days. Yesterday she pulled up my shirt, pointed to my belly and said "that's brother or sister right there". It was so cute. I just hugged her and said she was very correct. :) Not sure she really knows what it means, but that's okay!

Today I spied on her reading to her dollies. It was so cute. She was making her dollies sit down with her just like she does with us. She told the dollie she needed to "sit on your butt" (she has heard that in the bath) and then she read. Granted, she read books she has basically memorized, but it was still friggen adorable.

Hubby seems like he has been working A LOT lately. That is okay. We have a new addition coming so money is a good thing. We are also still waiting and waiting for houses to come up. Can you believe there are only FIVE houses available in our entire city? All five we have looked at. All five there is no wonder why they are still on the market. None of them were that great.

Tomorrow marks the end of my first trimester. Well, I guess that depends on who you ask. I will be 12 weeks tomorrow and I am saying that is the end! I guess I am saying that because I am SO READY for this all-day sickness to be GONE! There is nothing worse than feeling nauseated ALLLLLL DAYYYYY LONG. Combine headaches, dizziness, and exhaustion and you have what I have been going through. Some days are REALLY difficult to move off the couch when they are at their worst...like yesterday. Most days I can truck on through...but it's not easy. I know my sickness is not going to disappear tomorrow. It took 16 weeks with the munchkin. BUT...one can be hopeful, right??

Tomorrow the munchkin starts swimming lessons! I am super excited to be able to play with her in the water. She LOVES to swim so I am hoping it will be a blast! I am NOT.ONE.BIT. looking forward to being in a bathing suit with my ever-growing self in front of a million strangers. BUT...for the munchkin, I will. It would make it so much easier if I could have a stiff drink or two ahead of time...then I won't feel so self-conscious. But...that ain't gonna happen so I just have to walk confident and pretend I am not feeling super insecure. Sigh.

So that's all that has been going on with us lately. Like I said, nothing too exciting. Just typical days. Glad it's the weekend though!

Here's to hoping all of you have a WONDERFUL weekend! :)

Ramblings...

Nothing new to really report - which I guess is why there is a lack in blogging.

I have been SUPER busy with school. It seems the closer we get to the last day (May 29th...which is 8 days, 23 hours from now) I am bombarded with more work. I am counting down the hours and minutes though! It will be GREAT to be out for a while!

Which I guess poses another problem. I am due in December with munchkin number two and the fall semester will end right when I am due. I am hoping there is someway I can squeeze school in and a baby out next semester but I am not too sure how that will work. We shall see!

I am feeling like crap lately. Morning sickness is allllllllllllllll day sickness. It sucks. I am not necessarily throwing up anymore (well, here and there I do) but I am super nauseated all day and will gag over anything. I will be 10 weeks on Saturday. The munchkin seems to laugh at me as I gag while changing a poopy diaper. She then will mimic me. Nice. She takes after her dad that's for sure! LOL!

Emily continues to amaze me every single day. It's so amazing how smart she is. Not only can she count to 10 (well, sometimes to 15) but she knows her abcs too. She sometimes gets ABCDE mixed up (it will be ABEDC) but she knows the rest of it. I think that is awesome for only 20 months! She LOVES to read (today I think I read 4390580245820538 books with her thus far) and she has memorized some that she "reads" back. Her favorite thing to ask lately is "what's that?" as she points to something. You will tell her what it is and she will say "look at the ____!" It's funny. But sometimes...it's an ALL DAY LONG thing! :) She also asks "What are you doing" alllll day long too. As repetitive as it is, it is super cute too!

Erik has been working working working working working. He's been on shift since Saturday, has today off, then back on shift until Monday night. I miss him and Emily misses him too.

So all in all that is what has been going on. Nothing too exciting! :)
