I want to remember....

...the way Graham climbed into our bed with a sick, feverish Hannah Reece.  I walked in to find him tickling her back and singing "You Are My Sunshine".  A beautiful and rare sight in a season of mild but frequent sibling rivslry.  

...waking up this morning to Camille sleeping deeply on the love seat face down, head pushed up into the corner, feet dangling off the edge.  Next to her?  A pile of nerf assault rifles.  That stuff they say about the adaptability of third borns?  All true.  :)  

...the way Camille tells friends and family "my momma's havin' anodah baby."  With the sweetest little smile and quiet, monotone voice.  

...how good it felt to bag up 4 bags of clothes from my closet last night.  I slept so well!  I did save  one rubbermaid bin of clothes for post-pregnancy.  I had been hanging on to clothes that I didn't even care for, plus my body has changed so much after three pregnancies and thirty-five years of living (what is it about thirty-five?)  I refuse to feel pressure after this baby is born from unworn clothes in the closet!  Thankful for a body that can carry babies and another year of life, even with it's sluggish metabolism.  Thank you for rewarding us with children, Lord!

...that I am SO happy to have my love home for a whole week!  We have a little trip planned to Atlanta toward the end of the week to visit the GA. aquarium and Stone mtn.  but even if we are unable to go with the strep and cold currently making rounds in our home....it's all good.  I love seeing sweet hubs' face all day long. 

...that I think this all-day sickness is winding down!  I will be TWELVE weeks pregnant tomorrow and glory hallelujah, I'm happy to say that I can usually make it through the day without intense nausea and headache for the last few days.  The only time I feel it intensely is if I take a long afternoon nap-then the rest of the afternoon I feel like junk.
