And this is why I haven’t been around much. I’m not sick (other than a cold with some bronchitis thrown in for fun) – but I am SO. TIRED. I cannot even believe this exhaustion.
Anyway, I went back and forth for a while about telling everyone, but in the end, I just couldn’t keep my mouth shut.
But I can’t post this without thinking of some very special mothers. So please say a prayer for those who have lost their beautiful babies. It’s something I think about every single day, and I feel even more blessed knowing these amazing mothers.

BJ is a 9/24 baby, and I’m a 9/25 birthday :)
I love you and am so excited for you; a baby born to a mother with a heart as big is yours is reassurance to me that the world is going to be a better place once he or she arrives.
xoxoxo to you and your entire family.

Congrats! I am due around Sept 29th…haven’t told anyone (please do not comment about it on my blog)except a couple close friends…not sure what family will say….this will be our 5th. We have 2 boys and 2 girls, 12, 10, 8 almost 2 respectively.
I have been so sick this last week…thinking I will try the B6. I have always been sick…particularly with my most recent…Jessica almost 2 was a twin (we lost her twin at 19 weeks) which is why I think I was as sick as I was…but this is pretty close…haven’t been to the dr yet…cannot imagine it is twins again.
Hope you feel better soon…for me about 14 weeks is magic number…here is hoping it comes quick!
