I am not a runner. I never have been. I only like to run if I'm chasing a little yellow ball on the court. But I'm on my 4th marathon right now.
No, no, not that type of marathon, I'm talking about being pregnant. It's something to be grateful for, for sure. But it's hard for me. Really hard. Never has been easy.
It's not only the nausea, the leg pain, the complete exhaustion and other maladies that I experience, but I think with the change in hormones there is some depression, too. Maybe it's depression due to the nausea and the fact that for months I can hardly accomplish any little task around the house, let alone take care of my three children decently. I'm incredibly grateful for the help I have received from dear friends. It's not only the actual help they provide, but the feeling that someone cares.
If you're a friend and we haven't talked in awhile, I'd love to hear from you. There is more to talk about, but not in a public forum like this (even though my stats indicate that no one is reading this blog anymore anyway!). I got out of the habit of regular posting during the summer when we just relaxing, and then after that I got so sick that I've just been in survival mode.
On a happier note, some of my favorite words around here lately:
Theo: rah-ry (butterfly)
Joseph: cracknacker (nutcracker)
Rebecca is getting excited for her baptism next week. We're all excited about Grandma Julie's upcoming visit next week. It's giving me something to live for.
Until next time.
Ciao.

Give your Mom a hug for me. I check your blog and I missed you over the summer. I'll look forward to lots of fun new baby posts when you feel good again and that little guy or girl is HERE! I'm with Rebecca....you need a sweet little girl!
It's all worth it in the end right? Oh so hard to remember in the middle...Good luck! We look forward to seeing you on Saturday!
Um...yeah. I SO read your blog!!! I just rarely make it over to comment! Will send you a note soon. Miss you, friend!
I remember when you were pregnant with Rebecca, the first time you saw Lauren you wanted to just look at her, and get excited for coming attractions, after being so sick for so long. I wish our girls could hang out together like they did when they were tiny!
