Well, I had every intention of regularly blogging again but then LIFE came along and it didn't happen. It has been a miserable 2011 so far. And again, that's the nicest way to describe it.
We start off January with my Poppy having surgery to put a shunt in his brain. He didn't come out of sedation well and ended up staying in the hospital for a month. It was a horrible time with lots of ups and downs and lots of crying and praying. Thankfully he was in the hospital in Wenatchee so tons of family and friends have been in and out visiting. Three weeks ago he was moved into a nursing home and he seems to be doing as well as expected. He removed his own feeding tube from his stomach (ouch) but has been able to drink very thick liquids.
The middle of February, we found out we're expecting baby #2. I was all gung-ho for this and super excited until the morning sickness kicked in. It is HORRIBLE. I remember being sick with Aniston but nothing like this. I am convinced it's a boy and he's already creating issues ;)
That's the reason there are no pictures along with this post. Because pretty much the only thing I've seen for the last 5 weeks are the bed and the toilet. Not fun or photo worthy. As I said, I remember being sick with Aniston but not sick to the point of crying. Nothing helps and I can barely function. My dr. put me on some anti-nausea meds that help a little so that I can get to work and am able to spend most of the day here but at home I'm pretty much in bed. Thankfully Aniston's excited about the upcoming little sibling and is relatively easy to please with daddy being the primary parent for the last month or so. Thankfully I have an amazing husband who's picking up the slack as parent/housekeeper/cook. I'm only 8 weeks so I'm hoping that if I'm sick until the end of the first trimester that the next 4 weeks fly by. Keep your fingers crossed for me please.
We did have a little excitement on March 5th. Aniston turned 4! I can't believe my sweet little girl is 4! She went to her first Wenatchee Wild (hockey) game last weekend with her best friend Teanna. From the pictures Teanna's mom sent, they had a blast. Aniston is very excited to be a big sister and the general consensus at our house is it's a boy so she refers to my tummy as her little brother.
I hope this finds everyone healthy and happy and having a better year so far!

So sorry to hear about your Poppy, I know how much he means to you. I'll be sure to keep him in my thoughts and prayers. Yuck for being that sick - I can't even imagine being sick for one week straight, let alone 12+ weeks. Hopefully it will end before the second trimester begins. Hang in there and hugs to you!
CONGRATULATIONS!!! To Aniston turning 4 and the new addition. How very fabulous. Soon your nausea will be gone... the first trimester is the worst! I'll take being huge and having to pee every 5 seconds at the end over morning sickness and sever exhaustion any day.
BABIES! I am surrounded! This means baby pics though right!? I can't wait! Hope the sickness subsides and you can have a little of your life back!
