I've been a horrible mom and have only been taking pics with my phone. So here are two recent ones. Above: I was bribing him to stop playing in the creek for a second and smile at me, which got me the "Here's my fake, hurry up lady" smile. Below: My belly at 17 weeks. I'm now 19 weeks and it's definitely taken a growth spurt over these last 2 weeks!

Sorry I've been a horrible blogger. But things have been looking up a little more here lately. I have been off of nausea medicine for 2 weeks now and I've only had 1 migraine in the past week! I've had to start wearing maternity pants, and I must admit, they are very comfortable. I have been enjoying looking up the foods I've been eating and what they do for you. Those 3 months when I was so sick I ate bread and potatoes, two things I hardly ate before. But they seemed to calm my stomach. Now I'm able to eat fruits again, which made me the sickest in the first trimester, but was all I ate before being preggo. But the weirdest thing I can't live without is lemons. Something I NEVER put in my water before. Now I put LOTS of them in my water. Seems to help with digestion and acid reflux, which I've had a big problem with, so I'm glad my body is wanting lemons! I also went through a week of wanting gatorade, it was the same week that I had the worst migraines and ended up at the neurologist and then was completely out of it for 3 days, guess I needed some electrolytes. I would wake up and want gatorade! Anyways, moving on, because I know you all wanted to hear about my food and drink preferences!

We will find out soon if we are having a boy or girl. I can't wait to know, and don't worry, after we share it with our family I will post it on the blog :)

Hudson is still growing like a weed and his personality cracks me up multiple times each day. Here lately he asks me the same question every night when I put him to bed. "Mom, the cows cannot come in the house?" And every night we talk about how the cows are too big and could never come in the house. He is learning his left from his right and gets it right 90% of the time. He also knows his birthday is in August but can't seem to remember the 7th part. We are working on sounding out simple words like Mom, Dad, Dog, Cat, Log, and a few others. He does well for a 2 year old! And he loves it. He asks me every day to work on his alphabet and numbers.

Jason turns the big 26 this Sunday. We are getting old. On the down hill to 30! I'm thinking we'll spend most of the day relaxing and going to church. After working as hard as he has been since school let out, I'm sure that's what he'll want to do.

Hope you all have a great weekend!
