Easter 2009

Yes, I realize that Easter was a couple of weeks ago, but I'm still not feeling well and don't have much energy for sitting at the computer for long enough to write a post most days. But I figured I could at least upload pictures of our kids for all the adoring relatives! Easter was a chilly day here, highs in the 50s, so I had to improvise with the girls' dresses (gifts from Grandma) and add some sweaters to keep them warm. They still looked darling.

Something New

Notice anything different? If you don't already know, we're expecting baby number 4, due the week of Thanksgiving!!!
This is very exciting for our family, but also very hard right now, as I am one of the unfortunate few who suffer from hyperemisis gravidum, or excessive nausea/vomiting during pregnancy. I haven't been posting for the past couple of weeks because I've been so sick and just didn't feel like it. I'm actually on a couple of different medicines, just as in previous pregnancies, and I'm still not doing very well. Keep us in your prayers, please!
I'm greatly looking forward to my dear sweet mom coming to visit for three whole weeks to help me out.....but she won't get here for nearly two more weeks. Just trying to survive around here until then. I'll try to post more regularly, but until I'm feeling better, there are no guarantees.

In other news, I submitted eight recipes to the Pillsbury BakeOff contest....and last night I had a dream that one of them got selected. I was so excited! Now I'm so hopeful that one of those recipes is a winner, I can hardly wait until September to hear the results!

Bed is calling me....take care everybody!
