Catch up time!

It’s been over 3 weeks since I’ve posted! Just wanted to let you know what all has been going on. Our trip to SLO was wonderful, we were able to see lots of friends that we hadn’t seen for a very long time, and the wedding was beautiful. And then after SLO we got in the car very early Sunday morning and drove to Sacramento to surprise Cindy for her birthday! She was very surprised. We had a few surprises for her that weekend. First was us showing up. Second was the fact that we’re expecting our second child sometime in November and third was given to her Monday morning when Dad told her to get ready because she was driving down with Hannah and I, along with Dad to go back home. John had flown back Sunday night to go to work on Monday. Cindy thought I was going to drive all the way by myself with Hannah, but she was wrong. It was great being able to be there for the big celebration.
The past few weeks I haven’t posted because I hadn’t told my mom or her side of the family our exciting news about expecting another child. I knew we were going to be seeing them and wanted to tell them in person. So I didn’t post of fear of spoiling it. We did go back up to Sacramento area this past weekend for my Grandmother’s 80th birthday! It was so wonderful to be able to celebrate it with her and to spend some special time visiting her and my aunt and uncles that we don’t get much time with usually. The big party was held at my mom’s new house that she’s renting. It was great to be able to rejoice with her in being able to entertain again and have a yard for Hannah to run around in. Her house is nice and I’m very happy for her.
So the past few weeks have been spent with many hours in bed due to extreme fatigue. I’m learning better how to handle it, but it’s still difficult. I end up sleeping when ever Hannah is sleeping, which leaves a lot of things undone, but this too shall pass. :) I’m greatful for friends close by. A neighbor took Hannah for an hour last week and I was able to get the whole living room looking very nice. Today a friend is coming over to help me get some house work done as well. I’m looking forward for a time of fellowship and productivity. Praise the Lord I haven’t had too bad of nausea. I do have it some, but if I eat regularly I’m ok. The only problem is smelling foods as I’m cooking is not pleasant and does not make me want to eat the food I make. I’m trying to figure out if it’s all food, or just certain ones. And maybe if I make quicker meals so I don’t have to smell it as long that’ll help too.
Well that’s it for now. I have a lot to do today.
Congratulations!!!! Sounds like you've had a great couple weekends in Sacramento. Hope you start feeling better soon Maggie... We need to get together soon. The kids are finally all better. Robin
Hey Maggie, I couldn't eat anything that I cooked myself. Lots of times I would end up eating cereal while everyone else ate the meal. One thing that I could do was make a crock pot meal and let it cook in the garage or outside so that I wouldn't smell it. I don't know if you have this option but it worked well for me.
Hi Maggie. Congratulations to you and John for the new baby on the way! Let me know next time you both are in the Sac area and let's try to get together for lunch.
Welcome back, friend! I'm glad that you had a great time. I will continue to pray for you as your body works on making this little one. It is a tough time, but in the big scheme of things, well worth the sacrifice. Your idea of quick meals sounds like a good one. Let's get together soon!
Congratulations! I'm so excited for you guys.
