Here We Are

I am a horrible blogger. I admit. I once posted everyday. Now I think I'm down to once a week. And it's not like it's because of FB. I'm not even on FB more than reading up on what you all are doing, more than 2-3 times a week. I have just formed this love hate relationship with the computer. I love that it makes paying bills, and reading news easy (we don't have a TV with more than PBS and Fox, and I HATE our Fox station news). I dislike the computer because it's a HUGE waste of time. I can sit down to read my emails, and 30 minutes is gone, just like that. I need all of my time. Every last minute. I can't afford to throw it away.
Anyway, that's my excues. Now on to my post.
This picture is from Disneyland. 4 of 6 LOVED rollercoasters. She would ride with her arms straight up in the air and yell, then when she'd get off she'd want to run back in line to get back on. Luckily we went the last week of Oct. SO we never waited more than 10 minutes in any line. It really was a good day to go.
We also found a replacement for her beloved pillow pet. It started out a terrycloth type material, and after a few years of loving it, it is pretty thread bare. But, as all loved things go, she is not going to part with it. Even with a shiny new one. What do you do.
On other news, my sister after having 3 boys, is getting a girl. We are all so excited for her. Although, secretly, we would have been happy with a boy, too. Just because we don't care what the baby is.
I will finally hit 10 weeks tomorrow. I still feel pretty crummy most of the time. But I actually like that feeling. It's reassuring. Since HCG levels peak at 10 weeks, maybe I'll start feeling better in a week or 2. Maybe I'll even get a few months of feeling good, before I get as big as my house. I almost envy people who don't find out there are 2, until the 20 week U/S. This has been a hard anxiety filled week. I have bled and spotted from week 5 until week 9, and it's exhausting. And, I reached my goal weight at week 8, fit into my favorite jeans for a week, then they started getting tight again. Nice. Oh well. I have years to get back to where I want to be. Until then, I will grow babies.

Disneyland sounds so great right about now. I guess you didn't know about the disability pass? You don't have to wait for ANY lines. As long as Morgan went on the ride we all got to go to the exit gate and get right on any ride. It was the best for the fantasyland rides where the wait it always long for Dumbo.

I like that picture. Sahra looks like she could care less but you can see the excitement in Eva. We are thrilled to finally be having a girl, especially since he says this is our last one but you know I will be calling you all the time because I don't know what to do with girls. ;-)

Those last two sentences wrap up motherhood completely. What a warrior you are for the things that really matter. You are a great example to me!
