The end of summer just kinda snuck up on me.
I had big plans for this summer.
I wanted to get the kids to the pool every day.
I wanted to take them on day trips to Sesame Place and Hershey Park and Great Adventure.
I had big plans.
Then, the morning sickness hit, and I get the all day kind, and while I am never going to complain about being sick while a miracle is happening inside me, and I do mean a true miracle, it meant that the majority of the summer plans were sacked.
My kids spent the summer listening to their Mom tossing her cookies at the slightest smell or even thought of something remotely gross.
Or even not really gross, but enough to push my tender tummy over the edge.
But you know what?
They didn’t complain.
Not once.
They made the best of what they were handed.
They played in the sprinkler.
They used the hose to “wash the van” more times than I can count.
They swung on the swingset.
They put on plays and made forts and did dances.
They created indoor picnics.
They didn’t even seem to notice that they weren’t having the same summer as everyone else.
They just lived and enjoyed life and were totally enthusiastic about every day.
I can’t even begin to explain to you how much I love these children and how very grateful I am, every single day of my life, that they are mine.
Oh wow!
Sorry about the morning sickness and thrilled about the reason!
Congratulations!
