It's been a while, did you miss me?

Hello my readers, yes it has been quite a while. Gee, almost as Long as it would take one to get through a very rough pregnancy. I am happy to say that I am now a proud Mom of 2 and can cross being preggers of my list.

So here is what happened....

While on vacation last July, I started to feel a little sick...sick for three consecutive days. While I finally realized could mean only one thing. I am pregnant. Now don't get me wrong, we were trying and am completely happy that the fertility gods looked down on us and blessed us again. But goodness it was a rough one. Being in your late 30s, having a toddler, being a good wife and a full time job. Well, lets just say I was a bit overwhelmed with everything that needed my attention. And the tiredness, goodness the tiredness. The first trimester malaise lasted so much longer with baby number 2 and the third trimester hit me earlier than before. Wrap in 2 bouts of pre term labor and bed rest and well there you go.

However, it was all worth it. Arriving 3 weeks early Max joined us, weighing in at 8 lbs. A nurse at the hospital joked that if I carried him to term I could have been on the news with how big he could have been. Probably not the best thing to tell someone in the grips of labor and delivery hormones, but oh well.

So I am back, will be writing and expressing to everyone as I go through my maternity leave and return to work in a few months. And if you have any advice as to how to manage a toddler and a newborn, please tell me.
