Catch Up?

So I couldn't seem to update with everything that happened during December, January, February and March because I was baby/pregnancy brained. So here is a small update.

December: I just couldn't seem to get into the spirit for December (maybe because we had lots of days in the 60 degree range) so Christmas was entirely Nick and his mother's fault this year. Gloria sent us a little battery-powered tree that we set up in the living room and I put on last years ornaments. Nick kept talking about getting a bigger tree and all I kept thinking about was that I didn't water the one last year and the cats drank what little water I remembered, so I always had this huge mess of pine needles. So this year whenever Nick asked about getting a tree I just kind of hemmed and hawed and we never got one. Nick also wrapped all the presents and did a really great job :)

January brought a big day for me as I finally got my wisdom teeth out on the 6th. I was really afraid that I wasn't going to make my appointment because the boys got conjunctivitis on Tuesday and my appt. was on Friday. I think I washed my hands every 10 minutes, avoided touching my eyes, and washed the boys bedding everyday. It must have worked because I didn't catch it! We also had to change our plans a bit with who would be taking care of me while I recovered. Mom was going to take the boys for the weekend while Nick took care of me but instead I stayed at my parent's house for 2 days and Nick had the boys. It was really nice and a little weird to have my Mommy take care of me but it turned out better in the long run. My parent's also had a variety of foods I was able to eat that weren't at home and Nick got to have lots of fun with his boys.

Nick started school again and is super busy with that. So much so that most days he doesn't even get home until the boys have already gone to bed. Its been rough on all of us, but I know that school is very important for him so I try to be as supportive as possible. Some days I do worse than others and I'm sorry for that honey. He is finally nearing the end as his finals are next Monday and Tuesday so I don't expect to see him this week as he needs to do all the studying he can.

February and the first half of March I spent on the couch with a ginger ale in my hand as I really struggled with pregnancy sickness. There were some days I wanted to cry when it was time to feed the boys again because I couldn't be around the food. They didn't eat as healthy as usual but they survived and are on a much better diet now. I'm still recovering in the cleaning department especially where the kitchen is concerned but have almost got a handle on things.

Now we are enjoying the sunny days by being outside for most of the day. I love hanging my laundry outside so much so that I'm disappointed when it rains because I feel like I'm losing a laundry day. Speaking of its very sunny today so...
