I have just recently contacted a few old friends from college. How I miss those days in school. Not owing money for various things. However, I don't miss being married and now pregnant. I'm so happy to hear that April and Sara are pregnant too. And I think their due dates are close to mine. Too bad we live so far away from each other in TX. Cale and I are also trying to make a move to NJ. In Sept we learned that my Mom has lung cancer stage 4. I really want to be with her. Even if God does heal her I would like to be close to my parents when the baby comes. They had to watch Autumn (my niece) grow up from afar and I don't want that for this grandbaby. Unfortunately Cale's parents will have to do that for the time being. We might return to the south some day though.
I am in my 14th week and I feel a lot better. I've been pretty much dead to the world the past two months. Morning sickness hit me hard. I lost 7.5Ibs and could not keep anything done. Dryheaving and throwing up became a routine for me all day long. Working and being pregnant has to be the worst. At least I sit at a desk. I also have had major heart burn. Everyone says then the baby will have a lot of hair when it is born. Well it better have a full head with the heartburn I've had. I've had to get prescription meds for that and nausea. But like I said it is dying down now. I hope to enjoy my 2nd trimester.
Cale and I fly to NJ for Thanksgiving. I'm so excited. I haven't been home for almost 2yrs now. All the kids are coming home for the holiday. We want to spend this time with my Mom. She is in good spirits. She went through radiation to shrink her tumor on her rib, but not the one in her lung. After Thanksgiving she'll start chemo. She wants to do all she can to be around a lot longer. We will need any prayers anyone can give to get rid of the cancer. The family is staying positive though.
On our week in NJ I'm taking Cale to NY City for the first time. He's really excited. I haven't been in a while so I know we'll both enjoy it.
Well I hope to post pictures soon of my belly. It is growing a little, but you can't really tell with my clothes on. We are asking for a digital camera for Christmas. So fingers crossed.

HI! Of course I remember you! How are things? I read up on your blog and I am so happy for you and all the blessings you have in your life! I remember the heart burn and Anna did end up having a full head of hair! And the whole philosophy on having just one baby - i was there but now here I am again just 17 months after Anna was born and we are trying again... it is weird how you forget all the ills of pregnancy but it is replaced by such joy! Anyway congrats to you and your husband!
Oh wow, Tasha, I'm so glad you found me. I like Nicolis Sparks, too! We check out his books on tape from the library when we go on trips. Anyways, I sympathize with your sick first trimester - I'm in my 11th week and it just seems to be getting worse. Yuck! By Thanksgiving, I should be good. Your mom is in my prayers. I hope things work out for you to move up there before the baby comes. Congratulations!
How fun that we can all be pregnant together!!! Tasha I am SO excited for you. The second trimester is usually the best. All the exhausting pregnancy things go away, you start to show, but you are not TOO huge, and you are still comfortable.
As for the heartburn. I never had any, but Ty had a TON of black hair when he was born (he looked chinese). Of course he could have had a lot of hair because he is Jeff's son.
I'm so sorry to hear about your Mom. My mom was diagnosed with MS a few years back....right before Ty was born. It made her muscle weak and she didn't trust herself to hold Ty. I wanted to cry. Anyways, the situation is so different from your family but similar at the same time. I'm sorry.
I love you and I'm so happy for this blog word for all of us to stay in touch. Miss you like crazy!
