Where Do I Begin...

So the last couple of weeks have been busy. Sorry I haven't posted. It seems by the time I get home from work, supper done, things cleaned, house picked up, homework done, reading done, and getting the kids to bed that I am ready for bed. A couple of weeks ago we celebrated my grandma's 90th birthday. She turned 90 back in February, but we decided to have an open house in April since the weather would be a bit more predictable. (or so we thought) The day before and of the party we went from rain, extreme winds, sleet, hail, to snow. It really turned out to be a fun time though. All of our family was there. We haven't all been together in one place since my cousin's wedding in 1999. It was also fun because a lot of my old neighbors were there so I got to catch up with them and some of my grandma's friends too that I haven't seen forever.

I had a doctor's appointment on Wednesday. I am dilated at 1 1/2 right now so not too much going on. Sunday I woke up with a really bad headache and was very nauseous. I slept most of the day which I've been doing a lot of on the weekends and by supper time I wasn't really hungry, but thought it would help if I ate. I started having some braxton hicks and Paul and I were keeping an eye on the time just in case. About an hour later I was nauseous again and started throwing up. All night and into the next day. I was so exhausted and I would crawl into bed and just about fall asleep and my tummy would wake me up. I just kept praying that the girls wouldn't get it, but if they did that it wouldn' t be that night. I was over it by Monday night and the kids never got it so thank goodness for that. Anyway, I go back to the doctor next Wednesday and we'll see what they say. Lydia is especially getting excited. Mayme is excited for it to be over due to the fact that she hates my big hard tummy now and is ready for the baby to come out. It will make hugging a lot more easier I agree. We are down to two names right now.....we think, but have decided we will wait until we meet him to decide. I don't know why it has seemed so much harder to come up with a boy name. I still have a long list of things to get ready...including packing a bag for the hospital. Hopefully things to get to this weekend. We are celebrating my husbands birthday this weekend even though his birthday isn't until the 3rd. That way if baby decides to come early we get to celebrate it.

I hope to hop back on here and write some more soon. Off to tuck the kids in.
