Yes, we are too. The flu or whatever bug has decided to come & live in our house too. Seemingly like the rest of world (and not in the 'OH yeah I am part of the cool club' sort of way) we are sick. Oh well. I think my sickness is mostly allergies on top of a small sinus infection. Kevin and Matthew solidly have the flu but Matthew is being very pleasant about it all so meh whatev. Kevin is the one who seems to have been struck the hardest with a fever and a hacking hideous cough - don't the big ones fall the hardest? They are heavily medicated so perhaps Matthew is really rather pleasant from all of the medicine and if we took it all away bam he would be an unpleasant toddler. WHO KNOWS... Nor do I care to know if you care to know.
I am slugging my way through work right now then I will go home and take on parenting duties while Kevin comes to work to you know do work. I am hoping Matthew will take his usual nap so I can... ah work. Yeah from home. I need to work. Still having a craptastic first part of the year and it seems to keep getting worse so WEEEE...
Other than that we had a lovely weekend until the sickness struck. We had a chance to go to the local children's museum and visit with friends! It was good to see the new baby, Holden, Chad (HI GUYS) and Rachel. Generally it was just nice to hang out with everyone!
Kevin and Matthew bought a new bed frame and we have a spare room/workout room/study now with room to spare in there STILL. It is nice to not just have a room filled with shit that I did not want to look at. I cleaned A LITTLE and we ate out A LOT.
I figured out how to work THE iPod and I am in love. Why did I wait two months!!! It is awesome. It is also fairly cute to see Matthew with the ear buds in watching his favorite show without having to also experience THAT episode of Bob the Builder AGAIN! I wanted to get it worked out so we could get shows on there for our upcoming to trip to Seattle.
Also, Super Why! Have you seen it (or watched) it with our kiddos? If not, it is SUPER good. It is on PBS on week day mornings (7:30a here). Check it out. Matthew loves this show! It is fairly interactive which we love and it seems like he can actually learn from it (or at least I am going to turn a blind eye and pretend to believe this theory :)
Oh yeah (like I could forget) tomorrow is the day to see if 90% of you were correct or if that one lone soul who went out on a limb and said BOY is correct! I AM SO FRICKIN' EXCITED even through the ever increasing headache-y haze!!! WHOOT WHOOT! (yeah I just whoot, what of it?!??!) stay on the each of your seats peeps - I will report the minute I can on the sex of this little tyke/tykess!!

Zipping is Overrated Anyway
I wore my first real pair of maternity pants yesterday. I was desperate as the laundry was not done after our trip and I needed to you know wear SOMETHING to work. So I wore those. They are borrowed pants and I love them (thank you Melissa!) They were comfy and cute but really the two things I remember from being pregnant the first time - the ease of wearing maternity pants in that you do not need to zip. I mean what a pain in the ass zipping is. Especially when you are having a "fat" day! Plus there is the whole act of zipping and unzipping. Who needs it?! I know this "functionality" of maternity wear with wear off sooner rather than later AND I will be glad to go back to wearing normal pants but for now I am feeling like we should all wear elastic pants all the time because there is none of that fussy zipping up & down and really if you have a fat day you do not need to deal with it, right!??!
I am taking a photo this evening of the belly that has begun to pop (FINALLY)!
In other news, I had the 2nd of many prenatal appointments the afternoon before leaving for Disney. Seriously our physician's office is a holy terror. You can generally expect to be in the waiting room anywhere for 10 minutes to 60 minutes. I usually ere on the side of a 60 minute wait when planning time off from work. Than you get in the room and like all physicians you think 'YES, I have made it inside' only to wait another 30-50 minutes. And finally the physician. In my case a Certified Nurse Midwife.
This appointment was different. I got in within 10 minutes and Liz was in the room about 5 minutes later (and I was LATE to the appointment!) She listened to the heart beat (140 beats per minute) and the crazy fetus doing loop de loops in my uterus - she was laughing because there was so much static from the movement. Yeah me (said sarcastically - if this kid is anything like his/her sibling I will experience the karate chop kicks from hell to my ribs and lungs on a daily basis once he/she is nearing the end stage - you know the kind that take your dang breath away!?)
After that excitement, we had nothing to do. I had no questions and she had nothing much to say. So we chatted for 15 more minutes about vacations. She told me it is a SLOW baby time right now. Good to know, I guess (that because every baby in Bloomington was born in October. Those wily little Valentine's tykes ;) As we were getting ready to leave she said "oh and we can set your next appointment for about five weeks rather then four and do the ultra sound!!!" WHEW HOOO!! SO we all get to find out the sex of Baby Pancake soon.
In a related side note, (this post is a series of side thoughts, no?!), I cannot believe how quickly this pregnancy seems to be flying by in comparison to the first. The 1st was all about waiting and everything seemed to be in slow motion. Not this time. 15 weeks right NOW, people?!?!? CRAP!
