7 Weeks

Right now I am laying in my bed while Chris feeds all the kiddos downstairs. I feel terrible…very tired and nauseous.  Have felt that way all day.  My nausea started around 6 weeks 4 days, and has slowly been ramping up.

I am very thankful for feeling this way, too,  because I know my hormones are having a heyday – just as they should be.  I never got to feeling *this* sick with my miscarriage, so I’m hoping that all is well in my belly.

Harper just came in to tell me it is dinner time.  I guess I will go downstairs and see if I can stomach anything?!  Yuck. 

Bath Time!

A little video of the boys’ bath time.  
One of the more enjoyable moments.  
I’m singing like a goofball – anything for a laugh!  
I think a funnier video would be one of me acting so ridiculous! :-)
(ain’t gonna happen though)
Bath time started to get much easier/ manageable when we started giving the boys a bath EVERY (well, most every) night per doctor’s orders (for their eczema not because we weren’t bathing them. ha!)  
It used to consist of lots and lots of screaming and tears – 
guess they’ve gotten used to it.  
After bath, while they are still drippy-wet, we slather them in vaseline.  
Then jammy them up.  
Their skin has gotten sooo much better!!!  
Who knew it was that easy hard (X’s 3)?!
MAJOR workout!!

Letters

Have y’all ever seen this blog?  I think it is great.  Anyway, I have a couple of letters I’d like to write…

Dear Chris Tomlin,
Thank you so much for your CD Hello Love.  It created the most Holy time right in my kitchen while I was stirring maccaroni noodles.  I even had to stop, get on my knees to worship The Most High God.  Even more precious, when I opened my eyes my children were copying me…hands raised, praising Jesus.  Thank you.
Your sister in Christ,
Mary Lindsey

Dear Beth Hoffman,
Your book, Saving CeCe Honeycutt, has become one of my favorite books.  I am so glad you decided to quit the path of life you were on to write a book.  This book brought so much joy and color to my day I was so sad to see it end.  I hope there is a sequel and that it doesn’t take 4 years to write like your last book did.  Maybe you are on a roll now?  I hope.
Faithful reader,
Mary Lindsey

Dear Blue Stocking Ladies (my awesome bookclub),
I cheated and read the book I mentioned in my previous letter (see above) and have not read A Tale of Two Cities.  I am so sorry.  A story about Savannah, GA just appealed to me so much more than Dickens.  I might still try to challenge myself and read it.  We’ll see.  So far I’ve got a good pattern going…attend one month, miss a month.  Won’t be missing June, though… Water for Elephants
Still LOVE you though,
ML

Dear Mom, Nancy, Toos, Nean, and Vicki,
In one week I will be at your house, Vicki, and we will be recovering from watching Will & Kate’s wedding at 4AM.  I am sooo excited!  The wedding will be fun, but the company of you precious women will be even better. 
Love,
Sissy

Going to rest my eyes before the children wake up. 

Love~
