Finally On The Upswing!

Boy, I'll tell you -- Number Two has been wreaking havoc on me the last couple of months! But the good news is....I'm on the upswing now. Nausea is waning, appetite is coming back, fatigue is manageable. Still peeing like Seabiscuit and not sleeping all that well, but hey -- I'll take what I can get. I'm eleven weeks now, already popping -- but not needing maternity clothes yet. It's all good!

So today my hubby tried to talk me into visiting an entirely different hospital in order to get an ultrasound that can tell the baby's gender at 14 weeks. Patience has never been one of his strong suits; I told him he can wait till 20 weeks, like everyone else. :)

Life has been pretty low-key lately, which is a welcome change. Price continues to amaze me with how much -- and how quickly -- he learns. This morning we saw Sarina, our next door neighbor girl whom Price absolutely adores, walking through the neighborhood as we headed to daycare. We stopped to say hi to her, and as we drove to Jessica's, he said "Cheeny go walk?" over and over again. Just like he says "Daddy go work?" over and over every morning. That he even understands this is what blows my mind. Another example: we recently moved Price into his new big-boy bedroom. The transition has been remarkably easy! I'm now teaching him that his old room is the "baby room" and his old crib is "baby nigh-nigh." He gets it. He knows a baby is coming, and anything I can do to ease the transition for him will help. I may even pick up a baby doll and teach him how to be gentle with a baby. I don't know why I worry about these things; I never seem to give him quite enough credit. :)

My garden has been awesome. We've been rolling in peas and green beans and lettuce, and I just picked my first green peppers yesterday! I made stuffed peppers with them, and they were delicious. No ripe tomatoes yet, however. Waiting patiently! I should be able to harvest some carrots pretty soon, too. What a great way to get more veggies into our diets. Price will eat green beans straight from the garden...prefers them that way, actually. Who knew?

Just wanted to get a quick update out here, I know it's been awhile since I've written. Hope you're all enjoying your day!
