Last week I was very sick. I thought I had caught a stomach bug but since no one else got it (thank you, Lord!) I'm assuming it was something triggered by pregnancy. For 3 days I survived on sips of water and dry toast. I lost 6 lbs. Fortunately I'm feeling a lot better now!
We picked Kyle up from Camp yesterday morning. He had a fun-filled week: he earned a bunch of merit badges, stayed up late every night, made some new friends and ate a lot of candy!
Bella started Girl Scout camp today. She was feeling nervous when I dropped her off at the bus, but I am betting she has a blast! Here in Smithfield she's still the little fish in the big sea - which is something she's not used to - but hopefully soon she'll make some friends and will feel more comfortable participating in activities.
Next week we head to Vermont to visit with my Dad, Aunt and Uncle. My Uncle's health is deteriorating pretty rapidly - he's been fighting cancer for over 10 years now and sadly it looks as if his battle may be coming to an end. Recently he suffered from a couple of strokes which caused him to come off of the chemo treatments that have been keeping his cancer manageable for all these years. He's going through a difficult time now, which has us all feeling helpless and heartbroken. He's a young, great guy who got dealt a crappy hand health-wise. All we can do now is pray that he is comfortable during the time he has left.
Today is a big day for Sebastian - it's day 1 without his pacifier at nap/bedtime. It's time. I've been procrastinating taking it away for months now, but an excuse always gets in the way (i.e. he's sick, I'm sick etc!). With the new baby arriving in the winter I don't want him to have to deal with any more change than necessary!
I'm attaching a few random photos-I'm hoping to start printing some albums soon! It's a project I keep saying I'm going to tackle, but I never seem to have the time!
