Well life is not always what you plan it.. but that keeps things interesting! I had planned on focusing on running and training for a half marathon with my sister and taking a break from "trying" to getting pregnant, but instead I got pregnant the first month of my "break". I am actually very happy, that is just the way I wanted it, naturally without stress or overly trying. We are so excited! I am due mid October. So almost 3 months along now... So far pregnancy has been miserable... Morning sickness not just in the morning but all! the! time! I have been feeling better this last week or so, but today am back to feeling truly awful, and puking all morning. I have finally got my stomach settled and now am exhausted. I am so thankful for a light day at work!
Life has been moving right along. Ocean had her birthday in March and turned 13! Our yard is already in full bloom and I am attempting to get our garden together. I love watching all the spring time animal activity. Birds and squirrels courting and making nests, baby birds squawking for food. This is our first spring in this house, so it has been fun to watch daffodils and other flowers unexpectedly pop up.
It is spring break for Ocean, Raine, and Layke and it has been so fun to spend extra time with them. Yesterday we had breakfast in the tree house, jumped on the trampoline with the sprinkler, worked on Layke's fairy house, I finished mowing the lawn, then when there was a crazy rain storm went out in the rain (after the lightning stopped) and got ice cream from the ice cream man who cruises our street. They successfully ate just about ALL the food in the house so we stopped by a non named fast food joint that I swear never to go to for "dinner". What can I say they wear me out! But it was a wonderful day. I feel like I don't always get to spend time really being with them, but running around to soccer and here and there. They decided they wanted to stay at the house all day, so it was fun coming up with fun things to do without going anywhere. Its nice to just stay home sometimes.
Joey has been back to working out of town, it was so nice to have him home during the winter when work was slow. He is looking at going back to school for a career change so he can be around more. Weekends aren't enough!
I have been loving the warm spring weather, and the dramatic almost daily thunder storms. I am looking forward to the summer and enjoying the sunshine as much as possible!
