well, i'm in my 15th week and still sick every day. staying on meds that help with the nausea and just trying to cope. feeling really tired too. and i had an interesting experience with my clothes... tried to wear my stretchy, elastic-waisted skirt to work and found that the waist was just too tight to be comfortable (especially for all day at work). so, i'm wearing a maternity skirt for the first time. oh, it is so much more comfortable!! anyway, that's pretty much the update on the baby. we did go and hear the heartbeat a few weeks ago and it was amazing. (this finally seemed REAL to me when we heard it) we'll have the sonogram in a few weeks more (around 20 weeks), but we won't be finding out the sex of the baby. sorry to those of you who don't want to wait to find out! (oh, and since i only look fat and not pregnant, there are no pictures yet)
the house changes daily - and i do mean DAILY - and that's exciting and nerve-wracking at the same time. as soon as we get a system down, things get switched around again, so it sometimes makes daily living a little difficult. but we seem to be managing okay and the results (like our new placement for the laundry and our forming baby room(!!!) are really exciting!!! i can't keep up with ed and all of the work he's getting done. he's like a machine! but i should be taking more pictures... hopefully i'll get more before we head to MN so that the abbotts can see what's going on. (i do hate to take pictures when it's a mess, though... and it's usually a mess these days)
summer is going well, for the most part. noah joined the swim team (finally, a swimmer in our house!) but isn't as into it as i think i'd like. one more area where i need to learn not to push... the weather around here has been really disappointing, so we haven't had a lot of good pool days. but we've been busy. we went to a few great concerts at the arts festival and have had fun with friends and picnics, etc. to celebrate father's day/dad's b'day (the boys will be away for ed's birthday), the guys bought new drum sticks, brushes and a stick bag for ed. ed has finally returned (sorta) to the music team and is very happy to be back to playing drums. and we moved the drum set back upstairs and it now sits in the front hall (it was in storage in the basement). that makes the 5 drummers in our house happy again.
i think that's about it. we're anxiously awaiting our trip west to see all of the abbotts and i'm trying to figure out a few other trips we might fit in before our busy fall hits.
