Whew, a long break I took there! I still haven’t found my digital camera and that has really bummed me out. I had a dream that I found the camera in a compartment, like the compartment between the seats in my van. But, I haven’t found it yet. Who is the patron saint of lost items?

We’ve been outside a lot or just hanging out a lot. I’ve had high energy days and days where I’ve taken four hour naps. My morning sickness
is GONE, thank goodness! The baby is doing just fine and I think the days where I took four hour naps was her* having a growth spurt. I’ve been taking walks, going to the Y and also just sitting on the couch. I’m trying to eat well and healthy, but I think I’ve gained 4 lbs in the past month so I guess it isn’t working! I have my next appointment in a week. I’ve been kind of having cravings – I came home from Y the other day and made brownies. But out of the whole pan I’ve only had two – or maybe three? – which is so good! I could have eaten the whole pan. Well, probably not, I’m sure that would have made me sick.

I’ve been doing a few crafts – making tons of cards but little of anything else. I have some sewing to do but I’m not sure when I’ll get to that. I’ve started working on planning the next school year for Alice. She’ll be in first grade and I think we are going to start in a month or so. I kept records this past year but I want to do it different this year. I’ve been checking out homeschooling books from the library left and right lately. I think this year we will do one of the reading groups at the library – we are going to switch to evening gymnastics for both kids so that will free our mornings for that.

I better clean up before I have to pick the kids up!

*her just because I don’t nickname the baby peanut or baby or something like that
