Today, I am taking dinner to a good friend of mine, Chris, who had her 7th baby about 1 1/2 weeks ago. I am very excited to go see her newest addition--a little boy named Toby. Chris has 2 daughters and 5 sons now. Actually, Jamie, my 13 year old, is making the dinner. He's making Cheesy Mostaciolli for our family as well as theirs. Ahh, having teens is such a wonderful thing. Jamie has been making dinner most nights as I still don't feel well a lot. I will be 12 weeks tomorrow, so I think relief may be in sight....hopefully!

The other day I was thinking how I don't blog as much anymore. I just don't have a lot to say. I don't want to seem like I'm complaining, but my life is rather uneventful. I'm wondering if the hormones of pregnancy have me a bit depressed. Home schooling is rather challenging and I feel overwhelmed on occasion. Stu and I are really needing more time alone, but with 6+ children that rarely happens. I'm kind of feeling like I've lost myself. (I tend to feel that way during pregnancy.) So if any of you has a clear thought, please send it my way!

Babies!

Congratulations go out to 2 of my friends. Misty had baby Simon on Friday, May 4th. He weighed 8 pounds, 6 ounces. What a beautiful baby! He has 2 older brothers and 2 older sisters. Also, Stephanie had a 3rd baby girl early morning on May 5th. Her name is Elizabeth. She weighed 10 pounds, 10 ounces! Congratulations ladies! God has truly blessed your families! Now go get some sleep before those babies decide it's party time.
