Okay I know that the last time I posted was February but I have a good excuse! It involves a couple of months of that exhaustive, pukey feeling that comes with your first trimester. In fact I have not only not updated my blog but also not returned emails, cleaned the bathroom, mopped the kitchen floor, exercised, dusted, etc. You get the picture. Only the bare necessities have gotten done-feeding and clothing the kids, washing laundry and dishes on an as needed basis. I kept telling Joel one more week and I'll feel better for a lot of weeks and Finally!!  this week I do. I celebrated by cleaning the bathroom, mopping the kitchen floor, and biking 5 miles with the girls. Yeah it is so nice to feel alive again!! Baby Camilla, as Adelle calls the baby, is expected the end of October. We were shooting for Joel's birthday on October 22  to keep it easy for him but now that he will film a thesis project starting on October 21 I am hoping the baby comes before that. The due date is October 27. Now that I am feeling better I am getting excited about having another one, a little sooner than we might have hoped but surely the Lord has a plan for us.
