Back On My Feet Again

With my first trimester under my belt, I finally feel like I am back on my feet again. Once my all day nausea subsided a few weeks ago, I experienced almost 3 weeks of daily headaches. I am happy to report that I finally feel better on all counts-- no more nausea and no more daily headaches. It has taken me a while to get back into the swing of things, having forsaken my daily routine, housekeeping, and role as executive chef for so long. With a sudden burst of energy and an urgent desire to clean, I spent all of last week deep cleaning, crossing items off of my Spring Cleaning "to do list," and preparing for a visit from Jonathan's family. And, for the first time in weeks I got the camera out and captured a few pictures of the girls playing. They have been enjoying the outdoors and playing "mommy" to newborn babies-- who must be swaddled tightly (I think this is in anticipation of baby's arrival).

I am so happy to be feeling like my old self again-- plus a few (quite a few) extra pounds and a significant baby bump.
