Today is the beginning of the last week of camp. We'll be living at the camp this week with the summer staff. I always really enjoy the first orientation week and this last week because of the community time spent in the retreat center. It's sad to see it all come to an end, but at the same time I know everyone's tired and ready to move on to school or whatever else they are moving onto.
Speaking of which, our vacation days have just been added to the calendar and I CANNOT WAIT! We don't even know what we will be doing, but it is just so nice to see those days blocked out. I'm looking forward to catching up with Nate finally. Every summer is always a whirl wind for us, but this one has been especially busy. There were a few days in a row last week that we didn't even cross paths and that gets old really quickly. So needless to say, we are all looking forward to some quality time together.
If you have any inexpensive fun vacation ideas for us please send them our way.=)

encouraging day
Sigh...I needed a day like today.
It's been over a month since I've ventured out on a walk with Charlotte. The idea of leaving the house when feeling sick usually makes me feel even more nervous....and then sick.
But today we did it! I left bright and early in the morning while it was still cold outside. We made it all the way down to our past rental home (almost a mile away!) before I decided I shouldn't get too carried away. I felt invigorated! It was just what I needed to get going with the day.
Just now I ran through my typical blog reading list. One in particular is from some good friends who have just completed a stage in life that Nate and I are just now finding ourselves in. It was encouraging to read about their outcome and to be reminded that I may not see the answer now, but I know a God who knows the answer already.

ultrasound
Yesterday I went in for an ultrasound. Everything is looking good! Only 1 baby in there. =) I also had some blood work done...pretty standard. I'm back on my blood thinning shots to prevent blood clots during pregnancy. It's getting to be pretty routine now.
Nate took time off work to help me at the doctors office. That was so helpful! I honestly don't know how I would have managed with Charlotte running all over the room. She even had some blood work done too. The man did really well with her. He just stuck her once with a needle, got what he needed and was done. She was of course screaming like someone was killing her and I looked out in the waiting room and saw fear on everyones faces, but he did a good job. The doctor wants to test for lead in her blood since we have been living in older homes with her.
Well, that's about it! The new due date for baby #2 is now March 3.

Week 9 status
Well what a day! I had a hard time keeping food down all day. Char has been doing pretty good. She is getting good at entertaining herself while I lay down, but even today was hard on her too. I think she was a little fed up with me by the time Nate came home. It was good to have him take over for a few hours.
He is almost to the end of summer season. It's been a good summer at camp so far. I can tell he is completely exhausted! This has been a busy one that's for sure. He is out grocery shopping for me right now.
I completely forgot how immobilizing this part of pregnancy is. I guess it is good that I quickly forgot how hard it is or we wouldn't be doing this again. =) I'm hoping that it will only last a few more weeks and then on to the super woman phase!
p.s. I lost my phone again...so if you're trying to reach me just email. I have no clue where it ended up this time. Usually Char takes it, but I don't think she was the culprit this time.
