I have been missing from blog land for a while now and this is why! Growing a human from scratch, is no small feat. I wouldn’t say I’ve ever had an easy pregnancy, but this one has been a beast! Little man put a halt to all things creative. Suffering from 24 hour a day nausea and an insidious burning hole like feeling in my stomach, pretty much left me incapacitated for weeks. I’m happy and most relieved to say, I am on the other side of the sickness or darkness, as I often called it. I still get bouts here and there, but thankfully, nothing that lasts all day and all night.
The kids are so excited! Well all, except for Annie. She has never been an overly affectionate child or one to gush over anything, so I can’t say I’m all that surprised. Before finding out the sex of the baby, I had this conversation with her:
Me: Annie, do you want a little brother or a little sister?
Annie: I don’t like babies, so it doesn’t matter anyway.
She will come around! In June 2015, we will graduate to a party of 6. Sounds so strange and exciting at the same time!
