I took a long weekend around the 4th and enjoyed it SO MUCH! Matty and I slept in every day and played hard and napped hard. It was a well timed break for the two of us. Daddy had to work except for Fri, Sat and Sun...

We are assured by the 20 week ultrasound that we are having a girl! I am still in shock and not truly absorbing this fact (secretly I won't be shocked if the doctor ends up being wrong, lol) It will be the first girl in 35 years and 9 births. My family is doubly excited.

I am still doing leaps and bounds better with this pregnancy. I think the pre-eclampsia was always lurking in the background the first time around, even though it didn't hit me full force until week 35. Whatever the difference, I am feeling better. Not great, I never claimed to really enjoy pregnancy, but I am feeling much healthier and in control.

Plus the end result is fantastic so I guess a gal can get over 9 months of a little suffering and a little too much ice cream.

Just wanted to pop in, it's so hard to keep up anymore... Miss you all. Hope everyone is well...
