Just checking in, we will not be "our normal" for quite some time but we are making it through daily. I am not horribly sick just super ultra sensitive to smells and I cannot stand anything whole grain. Bread making has been suspended for at least a month. I am sad to say but this lady cannot stand the smell or sight of her own homemade bread. This pregnancy is very similar to my first in that I am tired, and have food dislikes but I can eat and actually crave really flavorful foods, mainly eating within my desires. The blessings around here are used to a posted planned menu each week. I get asked many times a day what is for lunch or dinner. My standard answer is that I do not know, yet! So, I must go finish my Lucky Charms...isn't that horrible? I think so, but oh well. I will have salad later today and some fresh pinneapple that i picked up last night at Sam's!
Last week was a week of surprise, a feeling of being overwhelmed, nausea, joy, shock, amazement, what do these things mean? Yep, you guessed it, we are having baby number 4!! That is why last week was very quiet here around the old blog home. I will be going to the doctor in about two weeks so we will gain a better "due date" then. From my calculations (and with the help of an online pregnancy calculator) we should have a baby some time in December. Oh, yeah, Jane, you were right only... I wasn't trying to tell you all something, but my body was!!
I woke up to sunshine coming in the windows this morning, what a welcome change from Monday morning. There temps are still dipping down to single digits at night but that will soon pass. There just isn't that much to post about today, so I must go have breakfast.
Yes, it is snowing, quite aggressively at that. It has snowed inches already. Guess what? This is Alaska and we do not have normal weather. Look at April 10th here last year (ignore the pink picture as that was a camera malfunction) and And here we were six days ago And here we are today. The upside? This will go away fast. And spring is just around the corner.
One of the girls has relapsed and had another episode of stomach issues early this morning. This child is skinny enough as is, she can't take much more of this! I will be cleaning and disinfecting today, I may never get to the clothes for the second day of sheets!! Just kidding, the bedding is almost finished through the laundry.
Thank you for stopping by today. Welcome to North Pole, Alaska! The days are longer now and the snow is beginning to melt, so hurry in to see some snow before it's gone!
