The pause button

So here I am. It's dec. 1, 2008. Over a year since I've wrote anything. I'd like to blame the fact that we've moved cross country, from Florida to Washignton as an excuse. Or the fact that last December I had Ava. Or he other tidbit of information, I'm pregnant again! The fact is, I'm a huge procrastinator. It's not that I don't love to write and feel so free after doing so, it's just taking the time to make it happen that is such a bother. Embarrassing, I know.

So, Thanksgiving was fun. We had a couple over- she's expecting too! The food was great, but it was even better to see Ava enjoy her first Thanksgiving. She had turkey, mashed potatoes and stuffing. That night she slept well. And Nate was here. Next year I won't be so lucky. He'll be in Iraq most likely. And I've been told by my mother that I'll go home for Thanksgiving and stay straight through for the New Year. It's not that I don't want to go, but feel farther away from Nate when I leave our home. But two babies in my care is a lot to handle alone. I am afraid.

Speaking of babies, today we find out what we're having! Along with viewing the bones, organs, seeing the profile and all of those amazing miracles that come along with someone dropping goop on my tummy and proding me with a cold wand.

Well, Ava is crying, her nap is over. Then I have to do dishes from last night and get ready for the appointment.

I should be thankful to deal with poopie diapers and crying. At least I have someone to take care of.
