Trying to Make a Comeback..

I cannot believe it has been 5 months since my last post...so much for keeping everyone updated.  :( 
Well, as one can imagine, much has happened since July:  Gavin and Ben have since gone back to school and Jacob and Miley have both started preschool.

I ended up going back to work in December.  It's for an accounting firm just across the pond from Paul's work so we are able to commute together again.  The catch is we are now paying "an arm and a leg" for daycare...and Jake's not exactly happy about it either.  He was loving just going to preschool for a few hours at a time; but he is not at all fond of us leaving him at 6:50 in the morning and not picking him up until 6:00 in the evening.  Paul keeps telling him it's only until June, but that may as well be forever to a 5-year-old.

The other big news of the house: My very first pregnancy.  (Thus me only working until June.)  Yup, our 5th baby is due July 13, 2011...consider this Paul's "Grand Finale" :)  We are all getting very excited...well, I'm sure everybody could do without my huge emotional swings.  The morning sickness has been happening less and less...although I thought it would never end for awhile there.  We will find out in about a month whether to be expecting a boy or a girl.  Miley keeps thinking the baby is coming anyday and Jake keeps telling me that I'm going to need bigger clothes: thanks, buddy.

I'll have to get the ultrasound pics posted shortly...until then, I'm just praying for my energy levels to go back up a little bit more.  Until the next post (hopefully before the baby arrives...)...
