Here is a recent belly pic, just taken tonight. I was going to wait until another month passed, but in the last couple days, I've considered myself to have "popped". Literally, overnight a couple nights ago, I think my belly pushed out considerably. Nathan says to me the night before last "you look pregnant now". That usually tells me that it's happened, I've popped :) Below are tonights pic taken at the end of my 31st week (Sunday I'll be starting week 32), just a mere 2-1/2 weeks after the last belly picture (17 days to be exact!) Even though people still say "you're so tiny!", I'm definitely starting to feel NOT so tiny anymore!......Can you see a difference?

On the Mend
Our Sunday was going as usual....got up, went to church, ate at Qdoba, grabbed some diapers at Walmart, came home, put the kids down for a nap, etc until I was loading the dishwasher and Tiernan came to me with his lip turned down and in a sad voice said "You know what just happened?....I just went like this" at this time he opened his mouth wide and kind of flicked his head forward. I thought for a second and then said "Where?!?" So he lead me into our bedroom where I opened the door to find an extremely large area of carpet covered with vomit. Ugh...and that was the beginning of our difficult evening and even more difficult night.
Tiernan continued to be sick the rest of the evening but (Praise God!) stopped at around 8pm and asked to go to bed. We didn't hear anything from him until morning!
After getting him and the floor all cleaned up, etc I noticed I wasn't feeling the greatest, but b/c I was around so many smells I thought it maybe was just to do with that. So after we put the kids to bed, we went to bed also. I couldn't fall asleep because my stomach would not stop turning. At about 11:30 we heard Caedmon crying. Nathan went into his room and says "Yep, now it's his turn!" All I could think was 'I do NOT need this right now!' But I guess it didn't really matter what I thought! After getting Caedmon changed and all his blankets and bedding switched, we tucked him back in HOPING that was the end of it. Nope! He was up 3 more times, giving us blankets and bedding to change, along with new pjs each time!
To make matters worse, I was up about every 15 minutes in the bathroom throwing up as well. I thank God that Nathan was there and wasn't in as bad of shape as I was so he could help with Caedmon b/c there was NO way that I could have done that by myself in that condition! I finally was able to fall asleep around 5am (without sleeping a wink before that!) only to wake up again about 6am when Nathan left for work. Boy, was I tired yesterday!!
The real kicker was that Brayan chose that night to cry straight for about 2 hours with nothing apparently wrong since he would lay back down and stop crying as soon as we walked into his room. We think it was because the lights kept coming on and going off and he could see it underneath his door and he was frustrated as to why he wasn't a part of whatever was going on!
Nathan did not get as sick as I did but he didn't feel very good Monday and had a queeziness to him for most of the day and night.
Why did we all (except Brayan!) get sick at the same time?? Well, we think it was from Qdobda where we had lunch. It's the only thing we can think of. We haven't been to church for a couple weeks because of the weather and I don't go anywhere with the kids so they haven't been exposed to anything besides our apt. We all ordered the exact same thing at Qdoba and the ONLY person who didn't get sick was Brayan and Brayan was the ONLY one who didn't eat anything from there! Coincidence? I think not....
So Monday the kids were back to their normal selves, thank the Lord!, but I still didn't feel well at all! We watched a lot of movies yesterday and I didn't do one thing around here. I saw Nathan's eyes scan this place as he walked in from work. (obviously in a little disgust :) And his first words to me were "you look about as bad as I do" haha :) So I was very thankful this morning when I woke up feeling 90% better than I did yesterday. I was able to clean, do all our laundry and actually make supper! My sister was up with puking kids the same night we were too, which I thought was kind of ironic....we could have taken turns taking naps!....too bad she lives hundreds and hundreds of miles away.....

Poor Jaguar...
We had a beautiful day here yesterday! It was sunny, NO wind, and close to 40 degrees!! I took the kids for a walk for about an hour and Tiernan didn't want to go home! The only bummer was that the sidewalks were all snowy and slushy still, which makes pushing a doubler stroller in, really hard! Better workout for me though!
After the nice weather, it was hard to accept today....freezing! Nathan was home today because of the wind and we are positive he won't be working again tomorrow because we are in a wind chill warning which is supposed to be -25 tomorrow. We were hoping for a full week for him since he didn't work all last week, but maybe next week!
We are STILL getting Christmas cards and letters in the mail!! How fun is that!? Yesterday we got one and today we got TWO! :) And yes, I am still hanging them on our kitchen cupboards! (Nevermind the stuff above the cupboards and the stuff on the countertops....when you have limited space, you just hafta make do!)
Our kitchen filled with love from family and friends!
Brayan's new favorite place! Yes, that is our 16, no wait, he's 17 months today! So as I was saying....yes, this is our 17 month old up on our kitchen counters where he climbs to all by himself! Ugh, we need a jungle gym!
And what does he like playing with up on the counter? Yep, our cell phones!
Notice anything WRONG with this picture?!? (Besides the fact that our toaster needs a good scrub!) Can you see what's in it? Let me help you....it's a little plastic jaguar...well, it used to be a little plastic jaguar, before I 'toasted' it along with our breakfast :)

New Website!!!
Don't worry, this one isn't going anywhere, but I thought I would tell you about my new website that I started!
It's called True Delights and you can see it at http://www.truedelights.blogspot.com/. What is it, you ask? Well, it just happens to be a site where I will post stuff for you to order (such as food, crafts, etc) and where I can share a little bit of my "life" with you!
For now it just has one thing on it to order (since I just started it today!) but I hope to add to it fairly often with not only things to order or purchase, but neat ideas, etc! And ya never know, I may just have random items for sale on it!
Since I've had a lot of people asking me about my granola that I made that I told you about, I thought that should be the first thing on the site!! So, go check out True Delights and tell your friends about it too!! :)

Not-So Wordless Wednesday
Now, if you were from Luverne, you'd know where this was and there'd be no explaination...hence the "wordless wednesday" but since all but 1 of you that check this AREN'T from Luverne, let me explain! :)
There's the guy that has an autobody shop on Main Street. His name is Clyde. He just ran for mayor in Nov but was beat by the incumbant (which is too bad cuz he would have been good for this town!) Anyway, he always has clever sayings on his board or some sort of "thing" out by the curb with a sign on it. We wish now that we would have taken pictures of all the funny things that he's had out there, but I guess a describtion of them will just have to do!
This picture is what he had on there yesterday, inauguration day :) Last week (remember it was like -20 to -30 all week?) it said "Warning! Global warming in effect Jan 12th -Jan 17th!"
A few "things" he's had out there were a bale of hay and the sign on the bale read "This is my government bale out." Another time he had a hot water heater sitting by the curb and the sign on it read "Clyde's in hot water with the city again". And the funniest one that I can remember was an old antique manure spreader was sitting by the road and the sign read "Automatic Political Promise Dispencer" (get it? it spreads a lot of crap...anyway... :) I guess I should have taken some pictures :)
