I know, I know. I have been going like that. I can't believe that. Ugh. I will explain why. I accidentally got pregnant . . . The very first unplanned one . . . back in August. I didn't find out till in end of August. WHEN the morning sickness wave HIT. It was horrible. It began five weeks (too early for me) then I had to put up with all kit and nothing ever worked. But when it tapered off at 13 weeks, I was grateful . . . Normally, it ends at around 14 to 15 weeks. I am 14 weeks along and feeling pretty decent. I can't eat certain items like salsa, spaghetti sauce or pizza for a little while. My stomach feels a bit delicate. I do run out of energy very quickly as well. As soon when I got better, I got sick with COLD! It took me two weeks to completely recover. When I am pregnant, it always take me forever to recover completely.
Today, I dropped Ian off at his school because he was stalling at everything. That kid is so whimsy. I am sure if I try to find out why he took that approach, I will find out that he isn't in mood for school. I went to store to get some food and picked some internet ordered items up. I then went to my friend to drop some catalog off. I loved talking with her because of her no nonsense approach to the life and helps me to put some things in perspective. After an hour at her house, I wrapped my tent up and left for home. My kids were hungry so I gave them snacks to eat. Annalise sometimes ask for the funniest thing. This morning, she asked for pickles.
Soccer season was over around October. Halloween was last weekend. I must admit that I faced those with very small amount of enthusiasm. Ha. I didn't hold a house party for friends like I normally do. Ha. I guess it was because of lack of energy, my house being disorganized, and all . . . I will love to do a belated housewarming party when we are done with upstairs, I guess.
Clint is doing pretty well with the bedrooms projects so far. We still are in HVAC/framing stage. Clint is done with electricity for real. Clint just have to do a bit of framing. I can't wait for the inspector to come in and approve so that we can proceed with next thing.
Clint has been spending some weekends doing either upstairs or helping Ian with his cub scout stuff. Ian loves spending his time with his dad! Two Saturdays ago, Ian helped his dad digging the carrots out, mowing lawn, cleaning garage out . .. Then last Saturday, Clint took Ian to hardware store and both discussed the use of tools there. Ian always wears a huge smile on his face when he completed something with his dad. It really is wonderful.
My girls are in so love with Tinkerbell movie, I guess it is their fourth time watching this movie already. Tinkerbell movie is a sweet story about Tinkerbell character and why she became who she is.
Timmy . . . Poor little Timmy. He had bad month in October. He split his chin and had to get four stitches, scratched his eye (and cried for a week because of the pain), bumped his head, got his two major toes stubbed that he got purply line on each. He is recovering slowly from each of those. Scratch in eye is all gone. But the cut on his chin still is bright red and knotted . . . Purple lines are taking forever to grow out. I think it will encourage him to be a bit more careful sometime in the future. He learns very quickly and remembers all of his lessons.
Back in October, Clint and I went to Pittsburgh in PA and stayed there for five days. Clint had a conference there and I still had morning sickness so I was able to just relax. It is so nice. Susan took Annalise and Timmy while Sandra took Suzy and Ian. They were so helpful, bless their hearts. I owe them something that I will never able to completely repay. Visit to Pittsburgh really was interesting. Just a different environment and different sort of people. There are lots of hills and rivers. Plus, it was dewy there. I didn't need to use lotion as much as I needed to in Utah.
There's two months worth of news to say. Yet, I need to take a bit there and there of my time to add few. I said plenty for now. ha.

Yeah for babies...yeah for the end of morning sickness...great to see you back to blogging!
Congrats on the surprise baby! All of ours have been pretty much a surprise, we don't plan very well, we just mostly go at it.
Next time you are in the east coast let us know. Pittsburg is only about 2 hours drive for us.
