But I do apologized to you 3. Especially to you who have me listed on your blogs and have to look at how long it has been since I posted every time you log into your blog.
I have had a hard time wanting to blog or read blogs even. Everyone is always so happy, crafty, productive and cheerful on their blogs. I have not been ANY of those things. I don't want to bake yummy treats, do crafty crafts, decorate for Christmas, shop or much of anything. And I'm sure no one wanted to know how I was really feeling even if I could sit at a computer for more than 2 minutes.
My house does not have any holiday cheer in it and it is what December 7th! Usually we have it all decked out the Sunday after Thanksgiving. It looks just as it did in August. Well maybe dirtier and less organized.
There are NO good smells from the kitchen. I can't really handle any smells of any kind right now. To prove my point ask the lady at the makeup counter in Nordstroms who I almost threw up on when she had me try on a lipstick which she swore had "little if any fragrance". THERE WAS A FRAGRANCE AND IT WAS VANILLA!!!! She noticed it to after I started violently gaging in front of her.
Why you ask? What has happened to make you so Grinch like? Well if your not on Facebook then your still in the dark. We (meaning me) are having baby number 4 in June. I was so excited when I found out but at about week 5.5 I fell into a black hole of sickness. Todd has had to do a lot more than normal around here. While I
have been getting to know this...
(no this is not by bathroom)and this...
(not my bed, though I do love it!)
The doctor gave me some medication that helped a little but it made me so sleepy and dizzy I couldn't do much. Todd did all he could but when things became unbearable for him and the kids my mom was called in to get things back on track. Her first 8 hours here were spent entirely on feeding starving children and folding laundry. Sooo much laundry! After two weeks we were back on track (a little) and I knew I could make it till the Thanksgiving holiday when I would be back with my family. Kind friends also brought us dinners and had my children over for playdates. It all helped me soooo much. Thank you!
I'm 13 weeks along and have been able to stop the medication and eat regularly. I think I might be on my way back!
Now I just have to make up for the past 2 months I've missed. The kids and Todd might have to start therapy (just kidding, I'm not that important).
So that you don't think I'm a slacker I will list what you have missed since my last post.
1. The first day of school for Bella (kindergarten) and Sydney(second grade).
2. Bella's 6th birthday and a family party held in her honor.
3. Halloween- Bella was Dorothy, Sydney was a Sparkly 70's girl and Preston was some kind or robot or G-force guy (never quite understood). Todd took the kids to get their costumes.
4. The Ward Trunk-or-Treat night. Todd took the kids.
5. Halloween Night. We all made it out, it was a Halloween miracle.
6. My mom coming out for two weeks to take care of me and my family.
7. First Doctors appointment for me and baby.
8.First ultrasound of baby (we, meaning me and my sisters, named it Gummy Bear because that is what it looked like.)
9. Thanksgiving in Utah.
Well I'm hoping now I can return to blogging and the real world. I'm making progress, I went to the grocery store for the the second time in 5 weeks. This last time I didn't throw-up! Now that is progress.

I check your blog everyday so add me to that list of 3 people! :)
And didn't I tell you?? 14 weeks is the magic number. So glad you're doing better.
Don't stress about what you're NOT doing. You are making a baby you know and your kids will not care or even remember that one Christmas where there weren't as many decorations or things being baked. Because you know, you're gonna make up for it in the years to come. This year will go by and everyone will live. :)
I'm so sorry you've had to go through such a crappy 13 weeks. I HATE HATE HATE the first trimester. Hang in there because it is getting better and after a couple of years we will both recover from pregnancy and the first crazy year of the baby and be in a much happier place. Let's set a date two years from now and go to lunch to celebrate. (and then let's both be DONE having babies!) :)
Hi hear you guys! I'm trying to keep the guilt down. But as a mom it's hard. Guilt and motherhood go hand in hand. Your on Erin! But be careful about saying your done, look at me! Though this time it is IT!!! I will never risk being this sick again.
Hi Katy! I spy on your blog every once in a while and I'm so sorry to hear about your sickness... yuck! Would love to help with the kids if you ever need it. I'm not in primary anymore and I'm amazed at how attached I got to all the primary kids, especially Sydney since I was her teacher. Hang in there!
Hi Katy, I hope things are going better these days. I'd love to have your kids over for a playdate during Christmas break. We'll be around after the 27th.
Finally an update. So glad to hear that you are doing better. I do hope we get to see each other soon.
Nothing like being two months late - but, congrats! So happy for you and so sorry about being so sick. I can very clearly remember me coming by your brownstone for a walk in central park and you being so sick in your first trimester with Syd that you had to fight dry heaving to get the garbage out. :) You were determined to get it done though and you did it! Big Hugs K. xoxo
