In the life of me.

Ok, a friend poked me about a week ago wondering where I’ve disappeared to in he blogisphere. Sure I do have news to share, but I’m kinda meh, call it hormones. Yes, I’m pregnant We’re about 6 weeks along now and nausea is hitting me worse than ever before. Same with fatigue. Granted, this time I have an 18 month old to chase after all day. When he naps, so do I…that means less net time. I also battled a nasty sinus infection, right before I found out I was pregnant. As of now, the due date is November 30th.

We have our orders, we have had them now for about two weeks. We’re #500 something on the housing waiting list and they are in the 250’s right now, knocking out 100 families a month. What sucks is that they will only give us a 2 bedroom house. Children same gender can stay in the same room up until they are 10. Children of opposite genders can share a room up until they are 6. I really don’t like that at all. Newborn and toddler in the same room…just doesn’t mix well with me. We really don’t need both of them waking up at all hours of the night. Maybe the baby will stay in our room for a while, I have no idea. We’ll work it out when we get there or see what happens when Bry gets promoted (should be in August if points go down). It’s nice having orders this far out. It gives us time to take care of things. Only I want to jump right on them and get them done. I’m looking forward to October. We’re also trying to see if we can fly out just a bit earlier than what our orders say due to the pregnancy and my history of borderline pre-eclampsia.

Church has been keeping me busy as well. This week is Holy Week, so lots of singing to be done. I must say, the insence about killed me tonight though…ontop of the cala lillies (beautiful, but wreak havoc on my allergies) and the perfume for washing of the feet/hands. I was desperate for fresh air and was glad when I finally got it. In other news with the church, a lady that works there is going to be on vacation for two months and asked me if I wanted to take over. After two weeks of debating, I agreed to do it. Seriously, pray for me. I know she works hard and I know my limits might be pushed from time to time, but I want to do this. Extra cash would be nice.

It’s also been rather nice out, so we’ve been taking advantage of it, going to parks, playgrounds, and going on walks. Busy, busy, busy!

We’ve also worked out our mini vacation to the US this summer. We got a sweet deal thanks to a lovely lady at USAirways. She knocked out John’s and my change fees and found us a deal that would make the trip an additional $1,500 cheaper. Thanks to her, we saved about $1,900! Now to rent a car, and we’re set.

Ok, it’s time to snuggle under the covers and get some reading done. Yes, yes, I know I have read blogs, but not left a comment, bad me. I just need to find some more energy.

*hugs*
