The only diet that ever works for me....

This is a photo of my new best friend. We are inseparable. If for some reason she is unavailable, I have also become quite fond of

and
They are my 3 amigos!

I know, throwing up is not the healthiest weight loss solution that has ever been introduced, but the little "gummy bear" inside me doesn't care for anything I eat.

Hurray! We are having a baby! I am due January 17, and we are keeping our fingers crossed that this time I will be able to go full term with a healthy baby. (Emily was four weeks early, and had lung problems.)

I started feeling sick and throwing up almost immediately, and don't have much hope for being relieved anytime soon. I am into my 12th week, about the time the doctors assure you that you will probably start feeling better, but with Em, I was sick well into my 7th month. Maybe I'll get lucky this time!

Emily is very excited to be getting a baby. I don't think she really understands, but when you ask her where the baby is, she will point to my tummy. She has also started to point to her own tummy as well. Whenever we see a baby out in public, she gets this really cute scrunched up look on her face, her voice gets really low and husky, and she cries out "baby!" I guess we'll see if she still loves them when she has one at her house all the time.

As for two posts ago when I promised lots of fun summer activity posts, I apologize. I guess I was a little optimistic on how much we would actually do with me frantically clutching my "emesis bag".
