Short Update

*How I've been feeling: Like Death, I pretty much look like a starved vampire at this point. {I did get a prescription and some other stuff that are helping with the nausea and vomiting a little} I've been living on cheerios, crackers, toast, and I did try some cherry jello yesterday that tasted quite good. Definitely no meat though - GAG! Just saying the word meat makes me want to hurl. I don't know what it is about being pregnant that heightens my sense of smell, but even my shampoo and soap make me gag.

*When am I due: According to the due date calculator on babycenter.com, I'm somewhere between December 6th and December 11th I think, won't know for sure until I see the Doc in May. So I'm about 6 weeks along. I really wanted to wait longer to tell everyone we were expecting {because it seems like your pregnancy just lasts THAT much longer when you tell everyone so early}, but my excuses for being sick were not really fooling anyone.

*What my house looks like: A disaster zone, I finally couldn't stand it anymore and picked it up last night a little. It's amazing how fast things can go downhill in a week. I told Riley that today after his soccer game it's cleaning time.

*What I missed out on this week: One of Kendle's tee-ball games {I hate missing those}, and one of Riley's biggest soccer games ever. On Thursday night they beat Kennewick - it was a huge game. Their team is doing amazingly awesome this year. I'm going to miss their big game against *Hanford (correction) this afternoon too. :(
You can go here to visit Riley's page and read up on the boys success. I think they are doing so well because of the awesome warm-up CD I made them. :)

Are we excited to have another little Dodson running around: Heck ya! We are over the moon excited that we will be adding to our little family. We feel like we've truly been blessed. I'm happy Morgan will have a little friend that will be closer to his age. Also, Kendle is at a good age where she is a good helper and pretty self sufficient. As soon as I'm done being sick {which will be hopefully be soon} I'm going to start potty training the Morgster so we won't have to have two little ones in diapers. I love new babies and I think Christmas time will be a fun and magical time to have a new baby in the house. {Ask me in December if I still feel that way}

I love blogging because I have and probably will feel like a shut-in for the next little while, and I love being able to feel like I'm still somewhat connected to the outside world. My back hurts from laying on the couch, so it's a nice change to sit at the computer for a little while, {albeit with my puke bowl next to me} and catch up on what everyone has been doing, it's keeping me somewhat sane at the moment. Keep those blog posts coming.

*Thanks for all of the well wishes and congratulations, it lifted my spirits in this bad week I've been having*
