Months Later...

World's worst blogger updater reporting - it has been literally months later since my last post. I am now 28 weeks pregnant...finally hit the 7 month mark. And boy do I feel it! The neat thing is that thanks to MONTHS of NAUSEA, I technically haven't gained any weight yet!! Well, I haven't yet reached my pre-pregnant weight proportions. I thought this was good news - my doctor thinks otherwise. It is funny to actually be scolded as to not having gained enough weight!! This will probably be the ONLY time in my life that I hear that, so yes, I am relishing the moment.

In other news, we have had 3 weeks of sickness at our house...we were doing so good too! We almost made it to spring without the flu, and then it hit with a vengeance...accompanied by bronchitis, ear and sinus infections, and weird one day high fever outbursts. However, it seems we are headed to the light at the end of the tunnel. We are all feeling much better.

We have also taken on some remodeling. For those of you who have been to the homestead, we had the windows on either side of the fireplace removed to open up the enclosed back porch area. That will become Shae's new office as I am taking over his old one for the nursery. Now we have lots of furniture to stain and paint...any help would be most appreciated!!

The kids are doing great. Leanna will be 10 on March 10th (in the Lacoax family this is referred to as the "golden" birthday). I am not sure of the significance other than maybe buying her something gold?? Michael Job will be 9 on August 29th and Gabriel will be 5 on June 29th. I am kind of hoping this baby will be born on May 29th and then all of my boys will match! Weird, I know. And that would require me to go 10 days past my due date, which I do quite frequently anyway.

Now for a little shout out to Lance - today is his 37th birthday! Yeah!! (You are way old and your hair is thinning!) Sorry, my fingers just went there...It is funny that when Mom and Dad were this age, they seemed SO old! I wonder if our kids see us in that way...

Well, time to get the day started. If I continue at my current rate of updating, we will have a new little one the next time you hear from me...
