Soooo...I should have mentioned earlier...

September is one of those months...you know. I guess Aaron and I just can't stay away from each other. Perhaps it has something to do with the rotation of the earth. Anywho...another one due in June, hehe.
We wre planning on waiting until January to try (so I could get through the holidays with an appitite, among other things), but the Lord had other plans.
I was excited, Aaron was shocked...I've been very nautious and Aaron has had to make his own meals... I think that Aaron has moved from shocked to pleasant acceptance ...perhaps even excitement, though I wouldn't go so far as to say that until I start making meals again :-)

I should have posted this news earlier, but it's been a crazy couple of months...oh ya, I'm a little over two months pregnant...
I got nautious the day after I missed my period...stink...and have been feeling bleh ever since, though I am now on the other side of bleh, I think. I've really only had to throw up every morning and every night instead of multiple time throughout my day...and last night I didn't even throw up. ...not that I didn't feel like I needed to, I just decided to see if I could stiffle it and go to sleep anyway. Praises for small blessings.
Anyway, back to it being a crazy couple of months...September I got pregnant, in October our car needed to go into the shop, Ivy developed a uterus infection that resulted in an emergency surgery the day we took her into the vet (it was either surgery or put her down...I never thought we'd pay out that much for a dog), I had two or three awful dentist visits (long story, but I left the office crying and not having to pay because they started a regular filling they couldn't finish because it was a root canal, but they had already exposed the root before they had to put a temp filling in...blowing air and water on it...I thought I was going to die!), and then finally I caught the flu from Justus (most likely the H1N1, though I was never tested). That was the longest sentence ever! That flu completely kicked my butt! It took me days to get over it and days to recover. Luckily my mom was able to take the kids for a day and a half. I lost 8 pounds. Take my nausia and add the flu and I didn't have a chance. Anyway, I was down to 112...1 lb more then when I got married. I wasn't happy with that weight then because I felt too skinny, but since I'm guaranteed to gain wait with the pregnancy, I don't mind starting low.
My only real disappointment is that after I stopped nursing (the day Justus turned 16 months...I was already pregnant, so I really had to get to stopping anyway), my hope chest vanished and after feeling nice and curvy for sooo long, I now feel like a boy with a beer gut:-( Oh well. I'm already showing. I'm only two months +...your body doesn't wait long to change the more kids you have...it seems to remember better then I do what's supposed to happen. I mean, if I had remembered my nausia, I wouldn't have been so quick to want more kids...so of course I'm glad I don't remember, because they're the greates things ever!
Case in point...just look below at how cutie patootie they are!!!


Aaron and Aloria waiting (with Auntie Anne in the background) for Uncle Andrew to come in from his half marathon he ran for Amberly's Place. Anne is pregnant too...she's due in late April...aaaand my other sister in law, Deanna (my brother's wife) is due with their first in May. Yeah for cousins!

Justus and I running a booth for our church's 100 yr anneversary community block party.
He is quickly losing that baby look and acting more and more like a little boy. I'm just trying to hang on to him as long as possible as my baby, knowing that the time will go by quickly and soon I will have another baby to baby...and I'll have to realize he's all growed up! Yes, I said growed up! Okay...perhaps two is not grown up, but it feels like it sometimes.

P.S. Molly, two years is a good age gap...just saying.

Yeah! Congrats to you guys :) I know... it is hard to believe the little guys are coming up on that 2 year mark (6 months from now, but it will be here before we know it). Always have thought 2 years was a good age gap - but not everything goes as one plans :)

Love ya!
Molly
