Tis the Season!

I sit here finally posting an update while Abby and Keara are watching the Muppets "Letters to Santa" show.  I remember watching them every week and it was the best show ever!!  They are mesmerized.  Ian is off at a friends house, Josh is out watching the Mav's with his bff Kevin.  So here I am, christmas lights glowing, candle burning and a quiet house.  Ahhh....so peaceful!

I am now 21 wks, 2days along in this pregnancy and all is going well.  I haven't posted it here, but we are expecting another girl!!  I am excited, and Josh has had some grieving to go through.  He is heartbroken to not be having a boy and I feel saddened for him but very grateful we are having a healthy baby (so far).  All the morning sickness is gone, the heartburn has gone into full gear and I am desperately watching my weight gain.  I have been very controlled since getting my thyroid under control, but am battling the initial 10 lbs I gained when from a health stand point, I don't need to gain anymore. Josh wants me to "eat for 2" and I have to keep reminding him that I am eating for quality, not quantity.  

I am so blessed.  To have my family, friends and Faith.  I love this season!  I promise to write more when my head is not hurting and I'm less tired :)
