Craziness

Sigh. It's July. Well, actually, the month is almost over. Makes me feel kinda guilty, I haven't done a single Farmer's Market yet, and I paid for a season pass.
I'll have to make up for it this fall, I guess.
Anyway, still got nasty icky morning sickness. It's actually gotten to the point where I really am sick more in the morning, when I first get up. I'm down to a quarter of my meds, and I'm able to eat/drink dairy, so I am improving.
However, in talking to my Grandma, she told me that with each of her pregnancies, she got progressively WORSE, not better. Ouch. I sure hope I didn't inherit her genes, though I certainly seem to have inherited other stuff from that side. With her last one, she was in the hospital for 3 months!
Of course, that was before the era of prescription drugs.
Anyway, things are improving a bit. Still having to deal with side effects, but I think my body is FINALLY getting the hang of dealing with it. If I have to be sick for the rest of the pregnancy, I guess I'll deal with it. The current hope is that when the summer heat goes away, the dehydration will cease, and the majority of the sickness will go away.
Okay, okay, enough of that. Esther is still growing like a weed. I was digging through her drawer looking for a t-shirt, and I can't believe how many things don't fit anymore! I need to just take it all out and dump it in Taea's drawer, since she'll be wearing that stuff next. Of course, that would mean Esther would be left with next to nothing to wear for winter!
I know I have a couple of boxes of 4T stuff around here somewhere. I guess I better get digging before my little girl has to go to school naked!
Taea is.....well, Taea. She is growing too fast, her 24 month stuff is too small, and she's only 20 months! Eesh. Well, I guess I better qualify that. She has her daddy's long torso, and short legs, so 18 month pants fit, but the shirts are another matter. She is getting braver every day, climbing on absolutely EVERYTHING she can reach. Kinda scary.
And James? I'm getting BUTTERFLY FLUTTERS! He's getting big enough and moving enough I'm just barely starting to feel him! Yes, I'm sure of it, it's too solid and too random to be anything else. I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow, during which I will schedule my ultrasound. That will be so freakin' awesome!
Of course, that also makes it so much more real. Gotta get the bassinet out one of these days and start cataloguing all the clothes we've bought/been given over the last year or so.
Things are just going so darn FAST right now. I kinda wish life would slow down a bit! But I guess that's just what happens. Time flies faster the older you get.
I hear a mouse creeping around my kitchen. Gotta go see what she's up to now! One of these days I'll get some pics posted.
