Confession

In an effort to keep it real. I have a confession to make.

My house is a real mess!

We are expecting our fifth child in September. My schedule has gone to pot. The typical first trimester symptoms make it hard to get much done. But there is a silver lining. Only three weeks left in first trimester. Time flies when there is four more to care for. Second trimester is always good for me. I have energy and get lots done. So I will get caught up and back on track.

I read some blogs of large families. How do these moms do it when they have a dozen kids and pregnant more often than not? It was uplifting to read the ones that were real. First trimester necessarily has a lot of sedentary time when dealing with nausea and fatigue. But it is just a season. It won't last forever. Just use the time to read with your kids and such.

So this explains the lack of posting in February and don't expect anything amazing til the middle of March. There will plenty of time to nest and rearrange to make room for another sweet baby. For now, I am just hoping for a nap and maybe some catfish and fried pickles. This baby is causing some major Southern cravings!
