We're Back in the Game!

So after a long hiatus, we're back. We apologize for the absence. Things have been busy! I am running around with my head chopped off (so I feel). I am back in school for summer term, my final semester of college! I am taking a history class from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. and then I go to English from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. Class is Monday, Wednesday, Friday. Then I go to work 1:30 to 6:30 Monday through Thursday. By then I am exhausted, but it's homework time. Thursday mornings I have internship work I do. I only have about 3 full weeks left and then I am actually graduating! I can't believe the end is so near. August 14th and 15th is graduation. Little Gabriel will have done some pretty cool stuff in utero by the time he's born - flown to New Orleans, Disneyland, graduating college! Gabe has been very supportive - he takes me to school every morning and gets me breakfast and snacks ready on most days. What would I do without him?
I have been a serious slacker at taking pics of my progressing belly. But I will post one very soon. I have already had someone ask me if I'm sure I'm not having twins. I think she might have been trying to be nice, but it doesn't really come across that way, especially when I still have a lot of time to grow! I am so grateful for every minute of being able to carry this little guy. Who cares that my back hurts constantly, my right rib seems to ache often, and I find myself having difficulty sleeping many nights? It's so worth it and no matter how uncomfortable things get I will never stop loving and embracing this miracle that has and will change my life forever.

Um...hello? Who was this absolutely clueless woman? Does she not know the unspoken rule among us ladies? Did she not sign the contract? Apparently she has never carried a human being in her belly for 9, almost 10 months, or she would have known better. That's not nice. She should know better. You're nice for giving her the benefit of the doubt. Stop being so nice. But seriously, you are so right. That sweet little guy who is making your back hurt, your rib ache, and keeping you up at night is an absolute miracle. I have given birth 5 times, and every time it was just as miraculous as the last. It never ceases to amaze me. What a blessing and a privilege it is to be a mother! Erin, I love you and cannot wait to meet little Gabriel!

We are glad you are back on the blog. We missed you! Amanda is so right --- ignore stupid comments. Congrats on graduation. We are proud of you. Let Gabe continue to spoil you -- you deserve it. We love all three of you.

Wow you are juggling a lot on top of being pregnant! Congrats on graduating! It will be so nice to have that done before the baby comes.
