The News

It's been a while since my last post. I thought I would post at least once a month. Then, the Universe threw a new monkey wrench into my life...I'm pregnant. Yes, that's right, a third child; through me, a woman who swore the shop was closed. In fact, I'm not just pregnant, I'm very pregnant; due in May.

After my last blog, I simply found myself exhausted all of the time. I thought I was dehydrating so, I began drinking a lot more water. That found me in the bathroom more. Then, I began losing weight. Finally, an older Italian man kept following me around Costco, telling me how beautiful I looked. Let me tell you, this was one of my not so good days; I was exhausted & in my opinion it showed. That said, my stalker was the last straw, I purchased a pregnancy test immediately after leaving Costco.

Nothing like 9 months of pregnancy to make you think about the life you are living. This third spiritual gift has once again given me a new angle of reflection. I've been more involved in volunteering and keeping the girls busy. She is apparently an organization freak; I can't stop cooking & cleaning. I've crocheted lots of beautiful items and I'm creating clothing for the girls & I. I've explained to my husband the importance of me having my space (I'll give more details later). And I have added distance between myself & many others.

I actually enjoy pregnancy. It is a kind state of being for me. With Journey I was not as attractive as I was with Stevie & have been with this one. Still, I did not have the physical challenges that many women have. In fact, I often forget that I am pregnant.

The ultrasound says it will be another girl. We are thinking to name her Chloe Sinclair or Reilly Sinclair. There is much planning needed but, I am a bit laxed about that.

The only thing I know is there exists this strange feeling that this baby intends on being born at home.
