I know, it has been a while. But I was SUPER sick thanks to our little lemon. That is how big the baby is. I was sick with Ryan, but nothing like this. I just laid around, all day. (I'm so sorry if emails or phone calls were neglected or forgotten. I promise to do better if you try again.) As soon as Scott was home, I completely checked out and everything was up to him. (Dinner, laundry, cleanup of a house that hadn't been picked up all day, feeding/clothing/playing with a child whose other parent had put movies in all day for them, putting said child to bed, he even cleaned the bathrooms!) I felt awful, but so so grateful. Finally, about a week ago, most of it just left. I still have my moments, but it is SO much better. I am waiting for the energy to kick in that everyone says comes second trimester, still feeling exhausted. And really sore... aches and pains are already starting, like my body wants a head start on expanding for the baby- seriously? Its only 3 inches!!! 

But we are alive, and slowly becoming less hermit crabish. 

Here is the big brother, ready for church with his tie from Ghana- from Uncle Max who comes home in 6 weeks!!!
