My apologies for the false info

Just wanted to let you know that you were given false information. I posted on Saturday that I had gotten a bee sting on my foot and it hardly hurt.

I spoke too soon. It did swell up a little later and by Sunday I was noticeably hobbling.

Today wasn't so bad, just serious itching.

I had no idea that bee stings got worse with time.

Dave said he knew that would be the case all along, but didn't want to burst my bubble on the way home from the beach when I kept going on about how quickly my bee sting healed.

I'm sure it will be fine in just a day or two, but I didn't want you to go on believing in my miraculous bee recovery story!

Have a fun day!

Okay, Okay, April Fools!

Okay, April Fools! No, I am not pregnant! David and I were just getting totally silly and carried away last night, after playing a million stupid jokes on each other, I just got out of hand and posted this April Fools Joke. I am really sorry if this played with anyone's emotions too strongly. I usually don't like jokes that play with emotions! I just thought it would be funny. Thanks for indulging me. As for the picture, I have always been able to stick it out pretty well and with a little back arch, plus a hand on top anyone can look a little pregnant! You all really helped my self esteem a lot by believing me, because the other night we were playing "Mafia" with some friends and I was dubbed the worst liar in the group. As soon as everyone opened their eyes they just knew if I was the killer. I always thought I was a good actress, but apparently I was a little out of practice! Thanks for helping me feel like I still have a few skills left!

That being said, who invented April Fools? It is definitely my favorite holiday ever! I have awesome memories of really really wild stories my Dad used to tell on April fools. One of my favorite stories included him getting stuck in quick sand on the way home from work. As a seven year old kid, I was on the edge of my seat asking "Daddy, how did you ever get out?"when we would realize it was April Fools and all join in chorus "April Fools!" Now at our house, David and I take it very seriously. In fact we play jokes on each other all April long and say April fools. Our first April fools David tied a rubber band on our water squirter on the sink and then asked me if I would get him a drink of water from the tap. I knew something was up because he usually just does things himself and he usually drinks water from the refrigerator, but I looked around and didn't see anything so he still got me! I was mad because it was actually 20 minutes until midnight on March 31 and I didn't think that was fair. Then being ruthless, I put Cool Aid powder on his towel so that when he got out of the shower the next morning he would put it on his skin and turn blue. I felt bad when he wiped his face first and got it in his eyes. I also put a bunch of pudding in his shoes, but after the towel episode he was too smart and checked his shoes.

Anyway, A very happy April to all of you! Please have some fun and play a joke on someone this month!

New News

Well, I just can't hold out any longer. I know it sounds crazy and you will probably be wondering what we were doing with a 4 month old child and not using Birth Control, (I really have no good excuse, I can't even say that I thought breastfeeding worked like BC because I have heard enough stories about it not working to know better!)but the exciting news is that I am pregnant... again! I am almost eleven weeks and couldn't hold out any longer. Last time I waited a lot longer before telling anyone, but this time I just feel silly not sharing my pain. Especially because I am definitely showing a lot earlier this time and I am paranoid that everyone is just thinking I am gaining weight. Last time I didn't start buying maternity clothes until 22 weeks! This time I am already feeling a little snug in my pants! I guess Lucy got me all stretched out. Luckily the morning sickness hasn't been quite as bad this time around. Last time I was down and out from about 6 weeks to 18 weeks. Of course, the first trimester isn't over so I will keep my fingers crossed! I am due November 19. Although, I know it is going to be crazy having my little ones so close together, I am excited have a growing family and hope having them so close will be worth it when they are the best of friends!
Here I am with my little 11 week belly. Last time I did a terrible job taking belly pictures at different stages, so I am trying to do better this time!
