In case you hadn't heard or didn't believe it because I hadn't posted about it yet, I'm pregnant. In a moment of clarity and insanity we decided to have another baby.
You know those brief moments in life when it seems the stars are aligned just so and time slows down just a bit and in that instant when everyone is calm and happy you see a glimpse of eternity, realize what is really important, like family. Perhaps say to yourself, "I can handle this, I can do this. Our family is clearly not complete." Clarity.
In the next instance things are spinning wildly out of control, children are whining, Matt is on crutches, the sight of food is nauseating, the only comfort is the thought of sleep, sweet sleep... I think to myself, "What was I thinking?" Too late now. Insanity.
I am so grateful my first trimester yuckiness doesn't last my whole pregnancy like it does for some of my friends. I have emerged a little early (knock on wood) feeling good, slightly tired, and ridiculously optimistic.
