Side Effects of Pregnancy and other random thoughts

Hello everyone,

Cathy and Alyssa, i wish I would have known about the car. I am sure your car will run forever with the new transmission though.

Aunt Janis...Mason would LOVE that rock. He loves to collect rocks, play with rocks, climb rocks. We are going to paint some rocks for "pet rocks" as soon as it gets warm again outside. He thinks that is pretty funny. I would love to have a large rock like that in our yard. i would plant all sorts of flowers (especially ones that attract hummingbirds and butterflys) around it and find a way to attach a small pan for a bird feeder or bird bath and then set up a bench next to it.

My mom is a saint!! She called and asked if Mason could come over today because she had Vinnie, Nic and Nanni over as well. She is keeping him until supper time. What a blessing!!! I have the entire house to myself!!! After this post, I am taking a nap.

The pregnancy is going well. I am starting to feel somewhat better in the evenings now. The other day I felt "normal" for 2 hours straight ! I had forgotten what it felt like to be healthy!!
I am craving Dill pickles like crazy!!! If I could, I would eat them all day and drink the brine. I will NOT drink the brine, but it sounds so good!!

I am also swearing quite a bit. I lead a small Bible Study in our home one night a week and the "f" word almost came out of my mouth. Thankfully, I stopped it at the "f" sound...but everyone heard it. I was mortified. i remember this happening when I was pregnant with Mason.

We are going to tell Mason on Tuesday May 8th!! We can't wait! The other night he crawled up to snuggle with me in bed and I asked him if he had a baby sister or brother, could they snuggle too? His response: "OF COURSE they could!!!!" We'll see if that holds true this Nov.

He and Gianni were talking about fire ants the other day and where they lived. I mentioned you could find them in Florida.
Mason: "I'm NEVER going to live in Florida"
Me: "Well, it is a wonderful place to visit. The plants and flowers grow really big because it doesn't snow there and it is always warm"
Mason: How big do the flowers get?
Me: This big..stretching out my arms.
Mason: "Bigger than Uncle Terry?!?!?" in an incredulous voice!! (Uncle Terry is Derek)

It is so funny how children think!!

The slacker mom continues to be my new title. Yesterday Mason had to pull a shirt out of the dirty clothes pile...but he had a few shirts in his drawer..he "just doesn't like to wear them mom". So there you go. He was a bit insulted, especially because there was a hair on the shirt, so I pulled it off and shook it out. Good as new!!! (I did do laundry this am, so we all have clothes again)

Well, i am almost ready for my nap...and I may need another pickle.
