My great excuse for not blogging lately

It's been awhile since my last post, I know. My usual excuse is that our internet is too slow at home to blog at all so I have to go to the public library to use the faster internet. But my other bigger excuse will be obvious in the following picture. Once Ryan gets home from student teaching each day, I just haven't had the energy to go to the library for some internet time!
That is because we are expecting our second baby! Yep-I am now 14 weeks along. The due date is set at Sept. 24th, but I'm hoping for another early bird (Lisa was 3 weeks early). I've haven't had much morning sickness at all (it was the same with Lisa), it just feels like the smallest thing takes all my energy. And food still looks and smells disgusting. All of it. Except ice-cream, of course! And for some reason Mac and Cheese has been my lunch craving for the past week. Lisa definitely doesn't mind that. She has been such a good sport letting me rest when I need to and always taking good care of me. She makes me feel so good all the time, especially when she says things like, "Mom, thanks for all the nice things you do for me," and just telling me that she loves me all the time. She is such a sweetheart. And she's got spunk, too! Playing pretend is about her favorite thing to do right now and it is fun to watch her be so creative. She also loves playing at the library with all the toys they have there.
We've only got 2 MORE WEEKS in Ogden and then we're headed back to Rexburg so Ryan can graduate. Hooray! Good job, Ryan. He's applying for teaching jobs in Idaho, Colorado, and Wyoming. We've got our hearts set on Idaho. We've kind of come to think of it as home over the past five years. So we'll see what happens.

Congratulations! How very exciting!! My first came at 36 weeks and it was the longest 3 weeks of my life when the second didn't come until 39 weeks. I hope you're not the same and that this one will be early too! Congrats again!!

P.S. I just read your comment on my blog. We're going to be coming to Idaho next weekend! We would love to get together with you guys! Here's Jaron's cell phone number, since that's the one we'll probably still have: (913)709-6182. We'll be in Idaho until about the 10th.

Congratulations!! That is great great news. I am super excited for you. Maybe someday we'll make it back to Idaho too. We havn't lived there for a while and it's sort of wierd to me that it still feels like home too.
