A Looong Respite

My apologies for not posting for almost 3 months! You'll laugh when you hear my reason. On March 17th, I found out I was pregnant! For the 4th time, no less! So, once that joyous, frightening, stupefying news was learned, I could think of nothing else and was fairly consumed with my own thoughts. I couldn't think clearly enough to write about ANYTHING, and I could not yet announce my pregnancy. I had a total mental block. Then, some pregnacy-related problems began. First I had some bleeding, which was scary and necessitated some trips to the doctor. But all's well! Then, starting at only 5.5 weeks, I began suffering from fairly debilitating nausea. Within a week, it was severe, 24/7 nausea that was even waking me up in the middle of the night. On top of that, the fatigue set in. Finally, between 8-10 weeks, we got around to telling all our family, then friends about the pregnancy. We've had one successful, normal ultrasound and the baby looks great! I'm 15 weeks today; the baby is due Nov. 26, 2008.

We have a boy name all picked out and ready to go: Nathaniel (Nate for short). However, we have NO girl names so if you have a suggestion, please reply to this post or send me an email!

The next order of business is summer. We are about to experience extreme heat in the Triangle (97 for the next week) and I'm scrambling to figure out what to do with the kids. We've really enjoyed a very temperate May and we took lots of trips to the park. I fear that's over for awhile!

I have lost my motivation to cook much with this extreme heat combined with my pregnancy fatigue. Hence my next post...

I love the names Clementine, Rose, Molly, Vera, Mary, Clara, Madeline, Madison, Isabella, Clarabella, so many names. You would think that I am set to have another of my own.
