{happy}

Yes, you guessed correctly. I've never been so happy to be this ill. Amanda and Abigail eagerly await their new sibling, due to debut mid-2010. One would think that the third time around, it's all old hat. But when the little Peanut waved an arm at us and wriggled around during the first ultrasound, I was wiping tears from my eyes. S/he already has my heart. Now, to get through the grueling morning all-day sickness with some semblance of grace... if you saw me picking up Amanda from school, you'd think I had a shriveled up twin! :) {small price to pay for the great gift within me}

Hoping, praying to get back to being wife/mom at full capacity again.

I haven't been able to do much with photo sessions, but I have posted some more from a recent wedding - click on the photo if you'd like to see more:



And check out my gymnast Abigail. I know, she's totally going to the Olympics! Bwahahaha:

I could not be happier for you and your growing family!!! I agree that the miracle of life never becomes old hat - every ultrasound amazed me! I had a lot more with Cougar (advance maternal age, of course) and had a 3D/4D US at 32 weeks and could see my girls in the pics ... the same lips, nose, etc. I hope you get to feeling better soon! At least we know it is worth it in the end :) All my love and well wishes to you and your family! Will you find out what you're having? I could never wait!

Oh, Heather! I am so excited for you and your family! What happy, wonderful, blessed news!

Being pregnant is such an amazing thing...my eyes are welling up as I sit here remembering it with my four. Even though it wasn't always easy, I loved it every time.

Congrats and hugs being sent your way!

Hooray for the new baby growing inside of you ... totally sympathising with you about the nausea and vomiting! NOT FUN at all ... but it is worth it! Hoping the green goes away soon! Love ya! Kim

I hope you start feel well soon, Heather. Those pregnancy sicknesses are not fun.

Beautiful photos and Abi is so so cute jumping on the trampoline!

Take a good care about yourself and your little peanut :)

Oh Heather! Such great news! Many congrats and wishes for feeling back to yourself. Small frequent meals is my tip. Low blood sugar makes the nausea worse...so have a bedtime snack (prefereably something with some protein so it lasts over night). xoxo

Oh, Heather! Congratulations! Hopeful, "morning" sickness will soon become just a vague, wretched, memory. What an incredibly wonderful time for you and your family! My third, my "baby", just got home from India after 4 months. *sigh*, they really do grow up way too fast!
