I know it has been such a long time since I have posted something... In fact it has been around 3 weeks. This baby is exhausting. I am tired pretty much all of the time, morning sickness has hit me just about every day. I thought it was over, I enjoyed a week of no morning sickness and then just yesterday, it returned. What is that? And, I am trying to do homework for the two remaining classes I have left, Geomorphology and Remote Sensing. Only about 9 weeks left and I will be a college graduate!!! Hard to believe. Doesn't feel real. Maybe because I am struggling to find the energy to keep up with the work I have to do. I have entered my second trimester and they say my energy should return, I am still waiting. So, what has our family been up to the last 3 weeks? I last left off in September when birthdays were being celebrated. Today, I got to hear poppy seed's heart beat. It was cool. Even Carter could hear it.

Back to September....

Here is Grammy all decked out at Olive Garden for her Birthday!

On my birthday some of us were able to take the day and go up to Stage Fort Park in Gloucester for our family tradition. It was a beautiful day and we all had a great time. After some great food, some time at the park, a fun walk and some time at the beach we packed up and Papa led us on a scenic drive. Afterwards he treated us to some great ice cream. Thanks Papa and thank you to everyone that was able to make it, I had a great time spending my birthday with my family.

Craig planned a surprise dinner for my birthday. I was hit with morning sickness just as I walked in. Why can't it at least just try to hold off for when I am at home. Lots of my family came to celebrate. The food was great and the company was even better. I am only sorry I did not get a chance to mingle more. I

Carter got these stickers and had a great time putting them all over his face and mine. I hope you enjoy some of our families goofy pictures... Carter decorated Daddy too but we did not get a picture.

This picture is from one of Carter's playgroups at our house. He is struggling with playgroup at our house. He is going through a stage where he is very protective over his things. We are working on that. He does great at other people's homes though so that is a start.

A few weekends ago Nani and I took Carter and Bella to Edaville Railroad to visit with Curious George and Jay Jay the plane.

You would not believe how fast this elephant ride goes. If you click on the picture below you can open up a bigger version and you might catch a glimpse of how scared I was. I really wanted to yell at the attendant to stop the ride and let me off. After a moment later I started to feel a little more comfortable and enjoyed the ride with Carter although motion sickness definately started.

Carter really enjoyed the Jolly Caterpillar. It went fast and bounced up and down. At one point though I swear Carter actually turned green.

The carousel went way too fast for my liking too. I went on the first round but when Nani decided to take Bella again, I had to decline. Nani did a great job taking both of them.

Here we are on the Edaville Train. We can't wait til November to go back and see all the Christmas lights.
