So, there you go. Awesome reason why blogging has not been top on my list of things to do. Basically, this has been my priority list the last few months:
1. Don't die.
2. Make sure the kids didn't die.
3. Occasionally ask Jessie if he has died.
That's pretty much it. If there's time left over after that extensive list, I might use it to try and clear up the confusion between my house and the local land fill. Through PR releases, naturally, not through actually trying to lessen any resemblance my house bears to the local land fill. Fortunately, we are approaching week 14 and the nausea is abating, so maybe in the future the house will move up the list of priorities.
Well that just sounds rosy and excited, doesn't it? Don't get the idea that we're not excited. We are thrilled to add another little whippersnapper to the family. We are undoubtedly crazy, and of course scared to death that four children will drive us swiftly to the loony bin, but we're glad and happy and confident this is a good thing for our family. I was reading some Anne of Green Gables during my sickly convalescence and ran across this little gem that sort of sums up my feelings (and reminded me that I was glad to be puking. Glad I tell you) : "Some folks think they (babies) are luxuries,' I said, 'but at Ingleside we think they are necessities." So if I start complaining about feeling yucky feel free to throw that up in my face and I'll give you a dirty look and we'll all feel better.
Here's to October. :-)

I concur.
To paraphrase someone quoting someone else:
I'm not just collecting babies because I find them cuter than stamps. We have children because that's what God gave us lives for.
It probably sounded better the first time.
But, not gonna lie, I'm still a little nervous to return to school tomorrow where opinions fly around faster than pollen, with(I hope) less of an effect on me than these darn allergies.
Here's to the End of September! And being pregnant friends during the summer!
