Oh yeah, I keep forgetting...

I don't know if anyone's actually reading my very inactive blog any more, but if you are and you didn't know.. we are having a baby!!  Numero 5.  Yikes!  I'm 20 weeks tomorrow, so I'm at the halfway point already.  HALLELUJAH!!  It has not been too bad of a pregnancy.  Just the same pregnant complaints:  being tired, the occasional nausea, being tired, my back hurting, not being able to sleep, the slight severe moodiness (country songs make me bawl like a baby!), and being tired.  Other than that things are great!!
 I have definitely come to question my sanity though.  Moving right at the beginning of summer vacation AND being pregnant, really is not the smartest choice.  At times I have been at the verge of getting on the bus to Mexico for a permanent vacation, but I just put myself in time-out, have a bite of something chocolate or some hot wings or the occassional glass of pepsi (I know I shouldn't!!) or scrambled eggs and ham with cheese (mmmmm!) or ... well you get the idea, and just breathe.  There is only one more month of summer vacation left, and I have a feeling that I will cry a few sad tears (mixed with just one or two tears of relief)once they start school again. 
In other family news, last Saturday Abe turned an ancient 11!!  Hard to believe that my first little baby boy is almost as tall as me now, wearing the same shoe size as me, and is going to be in SIXTH grade in a couple of months.  He got donuts for breakfast, taken out to see the movie "Despicable Me", and then treated to a steak dinner.  Not to mention the gifts of a new football, a few sports penants, some new video games, and cash and gift cards.  Not too shabby!!  He is a really good kid and we love him bunches!!
