Life is good out here. Things have settled down a little from the stress of tests and lots of chaos and people over for dinner and such stuff. Of course, we created most of that stress, but that's okay. I have somewhat gotten used to how tired I feel and can now guage how I feel in a pregnant sense instead of just "I am SO TIRED." Now it's that I'm tired still, but I can get things done. I felt great Thursday and got a LOT done. I then paid for that Friday. :) I need to learn to pace myself, but when I feel really good it seems like a limited time offer and I have to rush to get everything done.
The Family is Sick
Miciah is more sassy than ever. We're going to figure out how to make her not be rude. Then we'll bottle our secret and sell it to parents around the world and make our fortune. Elijah has an ear infection. I don't know why the kid can't stay healthy, but he's happy anyway, so I guess that's alright with me. He had a yeast infection that we finally got rid of and then he got this ear infection. The day we got him diagnosed with the ear infection he had a throwing up episode and got me twice (I felt like I was doing costume changes for a play). He gave this same sickness to Rob who slept on the couch for 2 days feeling very miserable. I was glad he stayed home from school (I have to almost twist his arm most times and he felt bad enough that he volunteered this time), and I was a little glad that there was some role reversal. It was almost poetic when I heard this come out of Rob's mouth: "Sorry I didn't get anything done today and that the house is a mess. I just haven't felt very good." I pointed at myself and nodded.
Traveling to CA Soon
Miciah has a break in pre-school in March for a little over 2 weeks. So I decided I should go somewhere. I was thinking maybe like Toledo or closer, and Miciah said, "How about let's go see C!" So this got me thinking and I forced Mom and Dad to fly me and the kids out to spend some time in California. I will fly in to CA on March 4th and fly out on March 24th. One day short of 3 weeks. So B & J, be ready to have some visitors for a while in there. ... C is going to drive out to CA to see us (meaning Miciah, really), and that'll make Miciah and C happy. Well, all of us happy, of course. I'm excited to go out there and to have somewhere else to be other than home. It'll be the last time I go somewhere before Christmas, probably. All our summer plans have been xed because of baby on the way. Not that we mind, but it means all our grand ideas of doing fun things have gone away. So it'll be fun to get away while I can and we'll look forward to Christmas. At least then Rob will be able to travel with me and it won't be so crazy.
So for most of you, I'll see you soon. And for the others of you, that's my update. We love you all.
