I have a good excuse

You will have to excuse my near absence in blogging. It is not due to lack of interest or desire. I merely lack the energy. It has been hard enough to keep up with others blogs let alone write my own. Honestly I am lucky to have the kids dressed and fed, and even luckier if I take a shower.

I have a bun in the oven.

We are thrilled, ecstatic, delighted, and overjoyed to welcome a new little one to our family. It is a good thing too because this little one has sucked every last ounce of energy out of me. I am completely fortunate that I only get morning sickness in my first trimester. But I can’t seem to kick the tiredness. I don’t remember being this tired with my other two. Maybe I just don’t remember or maybe I am just getting older.

I am almost 23 weeks along. We had our BIG ultrasound on Thursday and everything looks great. We decided not to find out what we are having. Since it will be a scheduled C-Section we wanted some element of surprise. The baby is scheduled to arrive on 11-11-11. What a COOL birthday. I hope I hold out that long.

I KNOW this baby belongs to Randy and I. It moves like crazy. I feel like it is whipping up my insides. Just like Brad and Claire did. Every ultra sound picture is blurry because of fetal movement. They can’t get the little peanut to hold still long enough for a picture.

I feel an overwhelming sense of gratitude for this blessing. I am so thankful for the perfect timing in our family. We have waited so patiently for this… and not so patient at times. We can’t wait.

I did have a small burst of energy tonight at work so I did manage to make up a few posts.
