The last couple days have felt like I am emerging a bit from the fog of morning sickness. Now I am trying to get caught up on all the things that had fallen by the wayside, including essentials like cleaning the bathrooms and putting laundry away.
Although I still feel a little queasy, I had a cup of coffee this morning!!
Usually coffee is an integral part of my morning routine....sometimes the only part of the routine that actually happens. I am always very sad when I can't stand the thought of coffee in early pregnancy.
Here are some posts that were encouraging to me this week:
"Leaning in" by feminagirls
My favorite quote: "We would like to sit around in our bad attitude sweatpants eating the Cheetos of selfishness. But God is calling us to more."
"Clarity" by small things
"My children, blind to what I see, look around and just see a good life to be lived and they want to live it with me....Why waste my worries on all that's lifeless, soul-less? But I do; I waste."

An announcement!
Hello again, long-lost blog! I have been rather reoccupied over the last few weeks. Having energy to play with the children, crashing for a long nap when they do, fighting to keep the dishes done, and basically sliding by with the bare minimum of effort have been my recent goals.
Oh, and......growing a new baby!!! Which apparently takes a TON of energy because I rarely feel like I have any left over for everything else. Our peanut is 10 weeks, 5 days today and is due to arrive on February 9th, 2014. That date sounds forever away at this moment.
I have been a bit sick with this pregnancy but it is just for a season and it is all worth it at the end! Thankfully both Nate and Evelyn take a nice long afternoon nap, so I have been joining them.
Nate gives my tummy kisses "for the baby" and was excited to come see the ultrasound that we had earlier today. I was so thankful to hear the heartbeat and see that everything looks normal so far!
Only a couple more weeks in the first trimester now, then hopefully I will feel a bit better and life will return to a more normal state, at least as far as the house-cleaning and grocery shopping goes.
