May.

I am never going to catch up. Though I really should. The other day Jeremy asked me if I was "digitally nesting" because I had the sudden urge to get Katy's first-year scrapbook at least mostly done before this next baby arrives. I was scrapbooking like crazy (since I have to do our whole family scrapbook pages, then draw from that to make up Katy's book) and I'm currently in April of 2011, where she's about 10 months old, so we're getting there...

Anyway, May.

Not much happened, again. Mostly because on a good day, this is still how I looked. (You know it's a good day because I have real clothes on, and I've relocated from bed to... anywhere else.)

Now that the morning sickness is more or less (unless I eat very much salad or chocolate, or don't get enough sleep) gone, I can look back and just be relieved it's over. At the time it never feels like I'm going to survive like this for days, let alone months. Seriously my biggest fear during it all was getting through all that yuckiness and then miscarrying or something, knowing I couldn't purposefully put myself through that again anytime again in the near future. So grateful everything seems to be going fine!

I did manage to get the kids out once a week or so (and Jeremy tried to get them out 1-2 times as well). It was nice that Reilly and Jaina were still in school during most of the first trimester. Even if it was only half-day kindergarten and pre-school 3 times a week, it kept them from going too stir crazy.  We made it to the Kid's Club at Superstition Mall (Thursday mornings) a couple times, too. They loved that they got a free carousel ride. :)  (Sorry for all the phone pics - they don't turn out that great...)

We did make it down to Pima the first of May for my sister-in-law's baby shower. The car ride was fairly rough, even with all the zofran, but I'm glad we went. I haven't been there for a shower for any of my nieces and nephews yet (because we've lived out-of-state so much) until now! It was fun to see everyone. :)

I'm really struggling to remember what we did for our anniversary. It was number 8! I can't believe we've been married 8 years! (or that we have almost 4 children...) I'm sure we did SOMETHING (maybe Jeremy remembers) but I'll bet it wasn't terribly exciting. Maybe next year. :) The 10-year celebration is going to be great!

The only other big event that happened in May was Reilly's kindergarten graduation. I don't think I had one of those, but apparently it's a thing now. It was basically an end-of-the-year program with some little diplomas and hats thrown in. Quite cute. :) Jaina was at her last day of preschool during it, so she is missing in the pictures.
