In need of new jeans...

I guess it's time to start shopping for new jeans... I thought these were cute. I really wish I hadn't got rid of my maternity clothes... if you know anyone getting rid of stuff let me know! We just felt we needed to have another, if we stopped at three it would have been for more selfish reasons so we decided to take my IUD out let the Lord work it out and hey a week later... but we are sure this is the last!!!!


I have been such a slacker with the blogging world... when I sit at the computer it makes me sick so I haven't wanted to spend any time around it... A few more weeks and we should be through the sickly stage. I am dying to catch up with every ones blog and see what they are doing... in time I'll get back around to reading them.
For now I am busy with family. Erik had his back surgery last week so I have been busy taking care of him, my three girls, myself and this new little one growing inside, shoveling snow... (was it me who complained two weeks ago that I hated when there was no snow at Christmas?), and taking care of the home.
Erik is recovering well... his mom, my mom, and my good friend Jodi brought dinner to us, which - while I am capable of cooking - it was really nice to have one less thing to worry about as I have to do everything for the kids now, plus for Erik. I made it through changing his dressing today and only dry heaved a couple times! He is a trooper and is all apologies that he can't put his own socks on, and "I am so sorry for dropping this or that".
I have felt more sick I think this pregnancy but I have only spotted a couple times... that's how I figured out I was... I vacuumed and started spotting. I just have learned to take it slow. If I move really slow I can vacuum one room then in an hour or so get another... it takes forever to accomplish things - oh well. With not feeling very well I find myself constantly putting something in my mouth to get the sick feeling to go away. I have put on 10 pounds already and my jeans are so uncomfortable! I guess that's kind of normal for me... I always put a lot on at first and then tapper off... by the last few weeks I usually start dropping a pound or two at my appointments. But who knows with this one I just might end up the Goodyear blimp.
This is all for now... I am really feeling sick again...
