The Reason Why

So, there is a reason why I have been such a slacker on my blog...

Why I have been craving things like processed cheese and chocolate cake (not necessarily together)...

Why I feel lousy all the time and have been more tired than I have ever been in my life...

Some of you have already guessed it. See the picture below for details



I am almost 18 weeks now. The baby is due May 17th (which was also J's due date). We should find out in a couple weeks if it's a boy or girl. We're excited and apprehensive (5 kids is a lot!) Are we crazy??? One thing I am sooooooo excited about is having a new photo subject that sits completely still while I take as many pictures of them as I want! =)

I knew that processed cheese was more than just your run of the meal cravings! Congrats, you are heading down a path I won't be following...four is good for us.

Karla said...

So happy for you. I was wondering when I'd hear this kind of news. You'll be a great mom to 5 kids...me, my 4 are lucky to get breakfast in the mornings sometimes. :) I will want to hold that little baby a lot since I won't have any more of my own. And the best thing about borrowing your little one is no sleepless nights for me. Congratulations.

Amanda said...

congratulations! I have to admit I had my suspicions - but I can't believe you are already 18 weeks! That's almost half way. I hope that you will be feeling better soon.
