Marching On...

Thought I'd give you all a little update, especially since I haven't been posting much -- I've not had the energy to either take pictures or post updates! Today I'm at 8 weeks, and on a roller-coaster of hormones. Occasionally I feel fine, but more often I feel tired, nauseous, hungry, or a combination of those. I think that means I'm pregnant! Am really looking forward to finishing the first trimester and getting back some of my energy, right when warmer days arrive and the yard/garden really starts to need some work and we can enjoy being outside.

Jake seems to have grown or be growing. I feel like I *just* went through his clothes and put aside the ones that were too small and now I need to do that again? Amazing. He's been working on numbers and the alphabet. He also enjoys tossing and catching a ball with his Daddy and me, and it will be fun to do that more as we can get outside. He loves anything related to Curious George, Thomas the Train, and Clifford the Big Red Dog. He's fascinated with the concept of it getting dark at night, and that the sun comes up in the morning. We have a book called Midnight Moon, and I've memorized it so now every night after we turn off the light, I recite the book to him, and he loves that.

I'll try to take more pictures soon...

I've missed your daily posts, but it's so fun to think of you growing Baby V 2! Kisses from us and take lots and lots of naps!

(PS, tried Blue Moose last night with J for my birthday - YUM!)

I hope you feel better soon. Not to be one of those wretched people that tells pregnant women horror stories while they are pregnant, but I had "morning sickness" 24 hours a day x nine months FOR ALL OF MY PREGNANCIES. Ugh. I so envy women who snap back to being human in the second trimester.

OK, so there you go, I am now one of those wretched people. Ha! But horror stories don't count when it's your second baby, right? Because you've been there/done that.
