Catching Up

I haven't had a lot of extra energy lately to post, but I feeling good enough today, so I'll try to put it all in a nutshell. We are happily expecting Baby #3! I am just over 9 weeks pregnant and the baby is doing great. Me... not so great. I now have a PICC line and Home Health to get me through at least the first half of this pregnancy. Hyperemesis is no fun at all. The good news is that for the last 3 days (including today) I am feeling pretty good. My goal is to end the weight loss by the end of this week and hopefully, maybe, gain a pound or two... or more by the end of the first trimester. My Dr. would be quite happy with that since all I have been doing is dropping pounds. Anyway, my med. cocktail seems to be working well and I am surviving. My Mom has been here for over a week and my Mom-in-law comes this Sunday to help out. I have such great Moms!
Hannah and Isaac have been enjoying Mimi time very much, which makes it easier for me. I don't feel so bad that I am unable to take care of them right now. They are very excited to have a new baby in the house. Isaac keeps thinking it will be tomorrow, but that tomorrow is a long ways away! Hannah said in the van yesterday, "I think one addition to the family is enough." I said, "What if the baby is a boy?" (She really is hoping for a girl). She replied after a long pause, "Well, I'll love it anyway." Too cute! Of course Isaac is hoping for a boy, but I'm sure he has no real understanding of what a new baby will mean! He has been enjoying snuggle time with Mommy every morning and other times of the day. He needs his snuggle quota filled, and it can only be Mommy!
I wasn't able to work last week, but I went in yesterday and made it through just fine. I wasn't my normal bundle of energy, but the preschoolers were great! Friday is the last day and I have 3 moving onto Kindergarten, including Hannah. Time certainly flies! we have a closing program and graduation on Friday evening. I'm looking forward to that... always a good time!
