18 Weeks, the other kids and Aunt Kiki!

Well we are 18 weeks and a couple of days today. Food has become really bland to me. In fact it doesn't sound good at all, most of the time. I did make a homemade Chicken Pot Pie last night for the family. I doubled and halfed it (2.5x) and only 1/2 of it is left - if that. I even ate some. It was pretty good, and I made it a little spicy. But still didn't care for it. It didn't taste good for me (but obviously it was good for everyone else!). We are having meatloaf tonight. J's favorite. I will make a 4lb meatloaf and it will be 1/2 to 3/4 gone tonight as well.

Dad is currently living with us as well since mom has been in the hospital. She is doing a little better, but now she is fighting a fever. Just need to get her out and home for a little bit. That way she can really heal!

I haven't introduced everyone to our other kiddos. So I will try and start to do that today! J is 14 and a freshman in high school! Can you believe that? He is in Karate and loving it. He should be a black belt by the end of this year! We are very proud of him and excited to see his progress. We were actually planning a big family trip for July 14-18 of this year because he has to go to a World's Karate Tournament. We know that him and BJ are going for sure, who else is still a mystery!


Then we have T! She is 12 and a 7th grader. She is really excited about the baby. In fact she was gone for a week after Christmas, came back and hurried in the door to see my belly. Little did she know that this was going to take some time. It has been exciting watching them enjoy this.
You already met Bo below. We also have another J, who is in college. We dont get to see him as much. But at Christmas he was doing really well.

J and T are going with BJ and I to the BIG Ultrasound at the end of the month. If you are keeping count that is in 23 days! I know you are all chomping at the bit to find out what it is. But we got some time. We are still taking bets on what it is!

I also want to introduce you to Aunt Kiki (as her beloved nephew calls her)! Kristin and I have been friends FOREVER. And I am really excited for her, as she is engaged!!! I am sad that she is moving to Germany this summer, but excited that I get to go visit - hopefully! BJ and I were able to get together with her and do dinner last weekend, and it was a such a treat! We even stopped for a photo op -




Well that is an update on our family and friends.
Love ya!
