Catching Up

*sigh*

That seems to be all I can do lately.  I'm currently 15 1/2 weeks along in this pregnancy, and I'm already seeing changes that normally come later, like round ligament pain and sciatic nerve pain.  I'm not as tired as I was a few weeks ago, but I have no problem falling asleep at night - once I can get comfortable.  If you knew me when I was pregnant with Jericho, you know that Michael and I decided to find out the gender but keep it a secret between the two of us.  It's a long story, but Michael was deployed and that was one way to keep him involved in the pregnancy.  This time around, I've been asked a lot if we plan on telling the gender, and the answer is no.  I won't be finding out til delivery day, but since this will be Michael's first time attending my OB visits and ultrasounds, he wants to know.  I'm ok with that, as long as he can keep it a secret from me!

Lots of other things have been happening around here.  Michael's brother Bobby and his two children stopped in a few weekends ago on their way from Iowa to Texas.  Jericho absolutely adores his cousins, so he got lots of great playtime with them and had a blast!  They were gone for a week, and then stayed the next weekend on their way back through to Iowa. 

Last week, Michael and Jericho and I were in Iowa for a funeral in Michael's family, so we got to see those same cousins, plus a few more.  I always love spending time up there, but hopefully the next time we go will be for a happy reason.
