..........and I don't mean Santa Claus, although we are looking forward to his visit too! No, the visitor we are expecting is coming in April and I don't think he or she will be coming down the chimney. This pregnancy has been a little rough so far with feeling sick! I think I threw up once with Riley, but this time I am always gagging or dry heaving or trying frantically not to throw up in the car. But it's getting better and even with all that I have been gaining weight (hardly seems fair to be that sick and still put on weight!).
This time around, it will be very convenient since I live right by the hospital that takes our insurance....I will just waddle over when the time comes! No road rage from Ben trying to get me to a hospital half an hour away. Anyway, we are excited and grateful to be having another child. I have to admit I am much more excited to have this one than I was to have Riley, but only because now I know (because of Riley) how much it means to have a child! Can't wait!

Yeah! Congrats (again!) I am so glad that I can talk about this now!! You are lucky that you are starting to feel better...I think my sickies are getting worse as I get further along...still haven't thrown up...but nauseous all the time to the point that I wish I could throw up, just to make the nausea go away! But anyway...I am glad that you are feeling better! Ben found out that the Backyardigans are coming live to the Capitol Theatre, do you guys and Riley want to come with us and Evan?
