In which I return to the long-forgotten land of blogging
I’ll spare you the “I haven’t written for so long!” intro (other than this sentence and the title). Ahem.
Updates! Marriage, baby, work, church – that’s pretty much what life boils down to right now. I am working very part-time, about 10 hours a week, since I’m still at the daycare. At this moment I’m going through the laborious process of uploading our beautiful wedding pictures to Facebook, which is why I also took the time on this Friday morning to update my blog.
Things are going well in Babyland, too. I will be 25 weeks on Monday (yay! So exciting!). I’m completely amazed at the way I’ve fallen in love with this baby who I’ve never even met. From the beginning moments of “I can’t believe this is really true,” “Did we know what we were getting ourselves into?” and “I’ve only thrown up four times today,” to now, the glorious second half of the second trimester, has been such a bonding experience.
Speaking of the second trimester, I am such a fan. And by that I mean the second half of the second trimester or so – the first half I was still miserable. I had morning sickness until about 16 weeks, and finally started feeling normal every day around 20 weeks. Now I feel like my old self again, something I didn’t even think was possible for awhile! (“Is this motherhood? What in the world did I sign up for?”)
The third trimester is looming ahead, which is great for Baby – the longer we go, the safer he is – but I’m dreading it a little. I’m still small for being almost 6 months along, so everything’s still pretty convenient, I sleep tolerably well at night, and I’m not completely exhausted all the time. I’m just waiting for the second miserable phase to kick in – but nothing could be worse than first-trimester nausea. Seriously, I would rather go through labor than experience those months of sickness again. (Which works out well, since that’s what’s going to happen!)
Okay, well, I have spent enough time on here already, and I still have about 100 pictures to tag on Facebook. I don’t think those will get completed at the moment. Comment if you’re still out there – I’m going to try to renew my commenting habits too. 
Until next time…
Now you’re just beginning to understand how much I love you.
Hi there! I’m still here.
I love your header, by the way – that’s a great picture! I’m glad the pregnancy is going well – I’m afraid I’ll be like you when we get pregnant and have morning sickness alot. That part does not sound fun! As someone who gets to feeling nauseous for no reason sometimes, I’m pretty sure that may be a problem for me.
Hello deary
I love and miss you so much..glad to see you blogging again!
I am very excited to meet this little boy!!!
-KJ
So glad to hear from you again! Love all of your updates…praying that you continue to feel well through the rest of this pregnancy. Blessings!
Yay! I’m so glad for updates!!! Even though I got them earlier this week too… I just like reading what you write!
Can’t wait to meet baby!
Anna! So good to see you updating/writing again. You’re naming your little boy Christian Andrew? Very sweet. My little brother (almost a year old now) is named Christian Alexander, and I am proud to say I was very influential in coaxing my parents to name him such.
Now that you are not single anymore, and have ventured into the realm of being a wife, a mother and keeping your own home, I thought you might be interesting in this blog: http://www.passionatehomemaking.com/. It’s written by a dear friend of mine and I think you’ll appreciate her posts!
Oh dear. I just realized you already have Lindsay linked on your blog roll. Awesome.
Thanks, Holly! That’s cool that you’re friends with Lindsay; I really enjoy her blog.
I found her through her sister Christa, I think.
