About Me

South Louisiana
I have been married for 20 years to a great husband and we have 8 children ranging in age from 1 to 18 years. I am a homeschooling mom, which can be very challenging. I love sewing, knitting, reading, gardening and have recently started oil painting. I love to create. I really want to have a blog to show off some of the stuff I create, but I also want to share about my life and family. email me at ctrich8@bellsouth.net

: D

So, where have I been and what have I been doing? Well, actually not much more than laying around only doing what I absolutely must! LOL You see, I am expecting a new little one and he or she has been making me quite nauseous and tired! I have been dying to share my good news, but I was waiting until my first u/s to make sure everything looked good. This is quite an accomplishment for me because I am usually the one shouting it from the rooftops the minute that positive test turns pink LOL I am still announcing my pregnancy a lot earlier than most women do, but I just can't keep it in anymore! My little bean looked perfect on the u/s yesterday with a strong and steady heartbeat. I am due September 14 or sometime after that (I have never
delivered before my due date). The children are beyond excited as are Chad and I. Yes, this was planned, we have actually been trying for about a year. So far, I can't sew or knit, it makes me nauseous. I have been trying for a couple of weeks to finish the handsewing on the binding of my quilt, but can only do a little bit at a time. I can't lie, I really don't enjoy the beginning of pregnancy, feeling sick 24 hours a day is no fun, especially with other children and a house to take care of. But, I know it will get better around 11 or 12 weeks and then I will love being pregnant : )

Woohoo - you're leaving me in the dust! Congratulations to you and your family. That is very exciting. I totally understand the all-day yucky stuff. I, too, couldn't do any crafts during that time. It always seemed like such a waste of time. But you are producing something better than you can sew or knit!

I'm happy for you!

I would love another baby, but I can't face another pregnancy!

Congratulations!!!!

I think I would have had a boat-load of kiddos if the first months of pregnancy treated me better.

I am so happy for you!

Congrats to you both! So excited for you. I don't like being pregnant in the beginning either, but it gets better, right? So I'll be praying that you'll just make it thru these next few weeks without feeling worse!

Tonya,
Sorry I'm so late to congratulate you, but I'm just thrilled for you. Every baby makes a family a better place for everyone!

I hope you start feeling better soon. Are you going to peek and find out if it's a boy or girl??
