I am finally able to say that I am feeling good, not great but good. Which is way more than what I have been feeling for the past 12 weeks. I really appreciate angels. I was sent some when I needed them the most, from unexpected sources as some of the ones I thought I should be able to count on weren't reliable.
I love that the kids are back in school. For their sake after this summer. They had a mostly bed ridden mom who directed them from the couch, when she could, on how to make sandwiches and ichiban (in the microwave). They were so good to me and to each other.
I am now 18 weeks along and barely showing but that probably has little to do with not keeping food down. I look forward to having an ultrasound done in a week. Hopefully they will be able to tell us what we are having as this was enough of a surprise already.
I got Amandine into piano lessons this year, and I also got Trever and Graydon taking guitar lessons together. I thought it would give them something special to work on together and maybe someone to help the other practice. They looked so cute today walking to their lesson with their guitars on their backs.
I have also been dabbling in some family history and have found out some amazing things that our family never knew. I would encourage everyone to just do a little; there is so much available out their now that you can find some really neat things. I found out that 75% of the generation that were around at that time were Mormon poineers, and that I have 2 prophets as direct ancestors, and that the family that originally settled Nantucket island and helped start forming America is related to me in two lines. I am sure this is only the beginning, I feel like I am on the show "Who do you think you are?". The internet is awesome!!!! you can throw out a name and some dates and come up with stories and resources that would blow your mind. Like I said you should try it even just a little.
