*your belly's cracking!*

That's what Eli said to me the other day when I was getting dressed and he saw my stomach. (referring to my stretch marks.) He's very good for the ego. Lately he's had an infatuation with my arms... He likes to "hold" them. As he holds them he makes sounds similar to what you'd make while holding a cute baby- but also with an occasional "squish squish squish" (as he squishes my arms...) or maybe a "mush mush mush." I think my rock hard body has finally dissapated.

Being pregnant for a fourth time has been different. I was pretty ill at the beginning- that's normal for me. But it lasted longer than usual. Usually I start getting sick around 6 weeks and it tapers off by 16. I went well into my 19th week before feeling better this time (about 1/2 way in laymen terms). Once I recovered from that, we had a brutal month or more of family illness... Sam had strep twice in a month, and developed an allergy to penicillin. Mia also caught strep. Eli and I caught a terrible virus-- cough, fever, congestion. It took me a month before I fully got over that!! The first week was the worst- one of those times when death sounds pretty good. But we survived!! And we've been healthy for a while, which has been much needed!! I have felt great, and the doctor told me I can take Prevacid for my heartburn. This might not seem like much, but it's been such a blessing! Heartburn is my main curse of later pregnancy and it's gone!!! I feel completely normal. When I was in labor with Mia the heartburn was worse than the labor pains. I kid you not.

So we're moving along and feeling pretty darn good! Minus my cracking belly... But that can't be helped.

Yes, your children are very good for the ego, not. :) I remember on day after Hillery was born. I was driving down the street and suddenly I realized that I felt good. Whoa. It felt nice.
