Life as I know it...

Today while the sun shines


Life is good. Olivia has been sleeping since mom brought her home at 11:30 and it's now 3:30. She wasn't kidding when she said that Livy would sleep for a long time on that full tummy of hers! The other two have been doing well all day. Playing outside or on the computer has kept them occupied all day long! Belle will be home soon, so I must prepare myself for the craziness she will bring with her. I have really started to feel the morning sickness with a vengeance today. We went with the missionaries to meet with James this morning at Perkins and I was worried that I would have a real hard time of it, but I walked in the door of the restaurant and felt just fine. Of course that changed once I got home, but here, it doesn't matter. It is surprising though how it can still get to me after 4 children. At least I haven't started throwing up yet. That has been a nice change. It does get easier with each one though.

It is a beautiful day. Maybe I should take the kids for a drive when Belle gets home. The sunshine makes me smile. I may not feel great, but I feel happy. I can't help it. I am so excited to have another little life growing inside of me. I am only 8 w
eeks along I think, but time flies. I have my nurse's appointment tomorrow. It helped me to get pregnant so quickly after the miscarriage. I was having a hard time of it for awhile, but we decided that it was probably another boy, picky about his body. The other one just wasn't good enough. We are sure that's what happened to Caleb. He didn't like the first body. He sure is picky about his clothes, why not his body :) We can't help but love him. He is so gosh darn cute. They all are. And they are lucky that they are, or they wouldn't have made it past their second birthdays. I sure am blessed.
