MIA

sorry for being a bit MIA!

life has been busy busy busy. (isn't it always?) well more so than normal. and complicated. it good ways mostly though.

I am 18.5 weeks along. and STILL sick!! arg. but definitely better. I'm still on meds to keep it under control but I hope to be off of them soon. I will continue to take herbs probably through out.

we're doing good in PA. money is about non-existent. but i realize a lot of my friends are in that boat too. so while it's a crappy boat to be in, it's not all together lonely hehe. I hate money. or it hates me maybe. it's bittersweet like that.

Sean likes his job which is always a good thing! he can work from home some of the time which we all love. it's so nice to see him sitting at the desk as we go on about our day. it feels familiar and right. it's just how we all function best it seems. we're work from home kinda people. no money in the world could take the place of that one!

we haven't found a home church yet. still looking. lots of nice people here, but i haven't made any true friends yet. lots of nice acquaintances though. people from a local church helped us out SO much by bringing us meals while I was really ill. what a wonderful help that was!! I am forever thankful =) there isn't always the perfect way to say "thank you" but I will never forget their kindness. I don't know what we would have done otherwise.

it is snowing today. flurries right now, but I wonder what else is to come. it's only November 20th!! our first snow (though it didn't stick) was November 18th. that's the earliest snow I've ever seen I think!

I wont be doing any doula work for quite some time. none while pregnant or with a newborn. and we will just see where it goes after that. family life is my first priority and i like it that way. right now I have no sitters to watch while i'm with a mom anyhow, so it wouldn't even be possible. Sean's job is flexible for sure, but he still has to actually work heh.
