Update

How do you all like that? Major announcement and then I disappear off the face of the earth. Well, two reasons. For one, my laptop hates me. Brand new and it wouldn't let me sign on. I took it into the Apple Store and had to have it sent away...and lost everything. I "think" most of the photos are saved on our old computer. I sure hope so! This is the first day that I have been able to turn it on and test it. Sigh. All that work. I guess it just shows me that I need to back up to our hard drive more frequently. Oh well.

Second reason. I've been so, so, so sick. This pregnancy is kicking my butt. For the past 6 weeks all that I have been able to do is lie on the couch and either sleep or moan in disgust by how my body has turned on me. Of course, I've still had to go to work, so that's been a bundle of fun. Ha! I'm getting through it though and am hoping that it is going to taper off soon. At least I am starting to get hungry and have even had some cravings. Favorites are breakfast and hamburgers. Fruit and candy is pretty frequent as well. Of course, there's always the power of suggestion as well, so food commercials really stink right now. I am a few days away from the second trimester so that's a bit exciting. A little nerve wracking too, knowing there's less and less time to prepare for the baby!

The boys are doing great. Here they are at Elijah's music concert. He had a solo speaking part and he ROCKED it. He definitely does not get shy in front of attention. Shocking considering his parents (at this point all that know me, should know that I am laughing hysterically as both of us certainly do not shy from the spotlight).

In any event, hopefully I can get to blogging more frequently. I would really like to share more awesome recipes as well as how I am making this a pregnancy on the cheap. I figure in this stage, less is more and I really do not want to spend that much on maternity items. Same with baby things. I've learned a lot and know what I need and what I can do without.
