I've missed blogging...

Sooooo sorry I haven't blogged in so long! I have been very busy and pretty exhausted! I have a problem with sitting down to blog without taking a while!!! I am hoping to at least get back to blogging once a month and preferably once a week! :) Not sure which will happen! A lot has happened since my last post in August! We all had the flu about a month ago and praise the Lord our family all went through it and it lasted only a week as no one had it for longer than 3 days! I didn't take any pics of that week, though!!! Hahaha! It's a pity though, because that's the week Titus decided to walk! He had just turned 9 months! Crazy boy! I was certain he would walk earlier, which he did, but no more than a step was what he attempted at 7 and 8 months repeatedly! Asher turned 3 years old as of October 20th! He had a Spiderman theme! :) I'll also include some pics of Lenci's 4th bday! :) In September we started Kindergarten for Zoe! That has kept me on my toes more than anything! :) Just making sure that we stay on schedule and with all of the flu and stuff! You can imagine! :)

We also found out that we are expecting BABY #5 on April 27, 2010!!! We are soooo excited! :) Once again we will not find out what we're having! :) I am now 16 weeks pregnant and about 3 weeks out of the first trimester!!! Although I don't throw up, this time I experienced more nausea than usual! I REALLY thought I was going to throw up on a few occasions which is a first for me, but I never managed to get to that point. I am so thankful that I have mild morning sickness, if any at all! I do, however, find myself soooo exhausted that I cannot even keep my eyes open during the first trimester! It's always the first indication for me! I was very happy to have some energy back now! We will be going to the midwives again and I am already back on my special pregnancy diet that the midwives put me on to prevent gestational diabetes! I haven't ever actually had it, but that's what midwives are great at, PREVENTION and educating the pregnant mother to be wise with food so that we can avoid certain situations! :) I know I never shared my last birth story! I really need to do that! It just seems so long! I WILL!!! I will post it before baby #5 is born! :) Haha, that way I won't be behind and have 2 birth stories to share! :)

I am looking forward to the upcoming holidays! I absolutely LOVE fall!!! Thanksgiving and Christmas are my favorites of all of the holidays!!! :) Yay! I have already started crocheting gifts and I will hopefully not be crocheting until 4am again this Christmas Eve! Hahaha! ;) I have several requests from the kids! I'm going to be crochet 2 girl snakes and 2 boy snakes, 2 girly ponies, and some doll clothes accessories! :) VERY EXCITED! I have also had a few orders that I have taken! One Spiderman blanket and 2 baby cozies! :) Fun!

Here are some pictures from Lenci's 4th bday party, the first few weeks of school, a sono pic of baby #5, Asher's bday, updated pics of Titus and a pic of Lee and me at the fair when we took the family! Fun!





































































































































Very long post, sorry! Hopefully I can get back to posting now that I can keep my eyes open! Very fitting also that I would choose the day after Fall Back (Daylight Savings Time) to post this! Another great day for our night owl family! Hehe!

P.S. The Spiderman blanket I made for Asher is in his bday pics! Zoe and Memaw helped him get it out! :)
