wow.
i literally have no excuse. well, i actually have a few but i'll save those for later. summer has been intense. the krill family has entertained, traveled, recuperated, partied, slept in, observed marriage vows, camped (in a cabin) oh... and WE MADE A BABY. that's one of my excuses. actually, those are all my excuses.
morning sickness has been unreal. but i think my attitude about it has been better than it was with jr. i mean, c'mon, no one likes being sick ALL day, so yes, i have complained about it a bit. but i also know what i am getting in less than (hopefully) six months: a sweet little baby. i couldn't be more thrilled, even when i am puking over the toilet and peeing at the same time b/c its intense and my 2 year old runs in and drags his blankie through it so i have to wash the blankie and then that's WWIII in my house. tmi? too bad. that is just how it is here.
so really, being pregnant is my number 1 excuse. morning sickness started in july and has hung around since. we're really becoming quite the pair. so i have spent most of my free time sleeping and not writing. or sometimes i spend it cleaning when i absolutely have to. cooking? forget about it. my poor husband.
but wait, you say, your last post was in june and you didn't get sick until july? yes, smarty pants, you got me. my other excuses are:
1. i had a multitude of visitors. among them some dear sisters and families, and some amazing friends and their kiddos. i surely should have dedicated a blog post to each with pictures and all but that seems like so much work right now. let me sum up: i feel incredible blessed to have amazing people in my life willing to spend the money to come see me and my family, spoil us and love us.
2. we traveled. more than once. we went to denver, vancouver, niagara falls, new york, and pennsylvania. denver was, of course, to visit family and friends. vancouver was incredible. c.krill and jr met my grandmother for the first time. i got to see where my mommy grew up. it was a very emotional trip for me. niagara falls i mentioned above. jr loved it. i thought he was gonna throw himself off the rail. it was terrifying. new york we went to for c.krill's childhood camp's reunion. i don't remember how many years its been around but its been awhile. we met up with my brother and his wife and kiddos. she went there as a kid, too. what are the odds? Pennsylvania was a short trip; we went out of the blue and stayed the night on the lake WITHOUT the offspring. well, besides the one in the belly.
i really could go on with all the weddings, parties and socializing we did... but truth is, we also had a very peaceful summer. things seem slower out here in ohio than they did in denver. it may be the lack of communtity we still have, but that has only taught me to find my introvert (which, if you know me, is a big deal). i love being at home with my boy and making the house pretty. i like puking in my own toilet and not in the wal-mart parking lot or party isle. i love spending time with my family. we only have 6 more months with jr, all by himself. we cut jr's curls off, he is currently being potty trained and we are toying with the idea of putting him in a big boy bed. sheesh. he is two. how?
i am looking forward to this fall season in ohio: the many colors of leaves, instead of the one color in colorado (it's still pretty but this is pretty awesome), small town coffee's (we don't have a starbucks), pumpkin festivals, apple picking, leaf jumping, not being sick (crossing my fingers), cool air, my anniversary (thursday).
ahhh autumn. hopefully i will write more. i like the escape this blog brings, though sometimes i feel like i am squandering precious sleeping time. i seriously need to get to bed earlier.
i hope this summer was filled with joy for you and your families. it seems so long ago that we had our miscarriage, even though it was 5 months ago. we started the summer season with heartache and have ended with peace and joy. God is good.
