Update

I'm 13 weeks now, due Oct. 25. This baby and CJ will be nearly exactly 2 years apart. I'm feeling better, sort of. No more puking :-) but lots of just plain feeling crappy every evening and some mornings. I'm definitely starting to show, but I can still wear regular clothes.

Charlotte is awesome! She is so fun and we really like the beautiful weather we've been having. We go outside and swing, take wagon rides, drive in her pink car, and just walk around. I have plenty of yard work to do, but she doesn't like doing that as much.

I nap pretty much every day while Charlotte does and I wonder if it will ever end. Will I be tired for the next 18 years?? Very possible. I am busy with Mothers and More and am proud of the work I do though I sometimes get overwhelmed.

I'm reading A New Earth, the book Oprah is doing a special webcast class for. I like it and find it inspiring when times are tough. I'm enjoying a nicely rekindled relationship with my siblings but miss my dad.

I participated in the making of a prenatal bellydance DVD and am interested to see the final result which I will share when it is done. I did it in exchange for class credits at Laura's studio. But right now I find bellydancing just exhausting. I haven't done so much as walk around much for the last 10 weeks or so.

So I'll leave you with a video of Charlotte from her Easter Egg Hunt.

Finally- a sign of life!

You may have wondered what happened to me. Looks like my last post was on Feb.10 and on the 12th I got great news! This is how we told my mom:

But the thing is, I've been feeling terrible. Not as bad as some women, but worse than with Charlotte. It is amazing how used to throwing up you can get. You just have to move on. But I thought I'd post a pic of Charlotte in her beautiful special dress from Uncle Andy (Godfather):
