HI

To the right is an explanation of why I have let you all down on keeping my blog updated.

That little lima bean has gotten the best of me! I have been so nauseated all day every day and have had ZERO energy...even to sit here at the computer at night when the Booter Baby is FINALLY down for the night. All I want to do us lay down, eat saltines, and make sure my brain is still in my head...cause I have no sense left in me.

Here is a recap of what has gone one since the last blog:

-The three and a half of us went to our alma mater; Good ole' Georgia Southern. Ben was asked to speak there at a Club Sports banquet. We had a great time catching up with old friends and seeing all the growth that has taken place in Statesboro. (They even have a T-J-Maxx now!) And speaking of growth you need to check out the new El Sombrero! (on shutterfly, and one day on my facebook page). We also went to Savannah for a day while we were there too..one of our favorite cities.

-Little Ben did not make his 5 week goal...I had to take him to the doc yet again for another hacking cough, tons of snot, and of course his lungs sounding like snoring cow, fever... and an ear infection that he ended up being dx'd with too. This scored him his 4th time on antibiotics and another month of breathing treatments...which we all look forward to every evening! 

Oh, the good news is he did break the big 20 pound mark!!!...come on 22 pounds, please be here by your first birthday.

-Our step daughter, Cait moved on to bigger and better places, (we miss you) but we gained a servant for a week. You all may know him as Poomalope or Andrew Oliver Freakley, the youngest of the Freakley Five. Ben "hired" him to clean the basement, mow the yard, clear the flower beds, clean the cars, pick up the baby and baby sit...etc. etc. And a great job he did! Thanks a ton Andrew! It was great having you. Come back anytime, Booter misses you.

-Mother's Day: I traded shifts with a co-worker and worked it...terrible idea, what a beautiful day it ended up being. But my husband and Little Ben made it very special. Ben got me a silver bracelet with BCF III engraved in it...when I opened it, of course I had to say something negative, which was; "Why isn't it centered?!" Stupid me, my thoughtful husband who put lots of time into this had them leave room for the baby on the way! So sweet. I love it even more! He also re-did all the flower beds, ferned the hanging baskets, did the flower pot by the front door. It all looks so great! Then he topped it all of by giving me the best card ever before going to bed. It made me cry! (maybe it's the hormones).

-And today was the first appointment of the next rascal on the way! Baby looks good. I am ten weeks along. We did find out however, that I am sort of a high risk pregnancy (only for the begining trimesters). I have always had a tilted uterus, but now it is retroverted. So the complication can be that the baby will grow down and back instead of up and out...so the doctor just has to make sure he keeps "pushing it up" there are several ways of doing this and some do not sound so fun. But I am game for whatever it takes as long as we have a healthy baby in the end. This also guarantees me to have a second c-section no matter what. So that made that decision easy for me!

Okay. That is all for now.  Check shutterfly for all the pictures from our trip. And I have not really taken any since not even of the baby...kind of sad :(

On our Drive to Statesboro, we stopped for a while and when I was not looking Ben discovered that he likes chocolate glazed donuts. Can't blame him. Who doesn't!:

What? Oh, was this yours?:
Not anymore!:
