Sickly Slackers

It is official, we are slackers! I had such a good week last week, I got the house cleaned up (OK OK, the kitchen, dining room, and living room) and I was able to maintain it's cleanliness even with baby Sean here. Then Sean got sick(er) and his parents and I took him to the hospital, then I went back to work, and Dan and I got sick (me more so). After getting sick (which was probably Monday actually) the house fell all to hell again! Not to mention that I keep meaning to buy rechargeable batteries so that we can actually take some pictures of my belly! I think that I will run over to Walgreens tonight while at work and pick some up! Anyway... now the house is in complete shambles and I am completely lacking the motivation and energy to do anything about it other than to ask Dan to do the things he has been saying for almost two weeks now that he will do (two weeks later, I doubt that he is going to do them).
We had a good Valentine's day... since we were both sick we decided to order Chinese take out and pick up dessert from the grocery store. So, we went to the grocery store, decided on a strawberry swirl cheesecake, Dan bought me some chocolate covered strawberries for Valentine's day and then we ordered our take out. We then came home and ate our food while watching the movie No Reservations (a really cute movie). Unfortunately for me, I could not taste my food at all. So, I ended up deciding that dessert would have to wait until I can taste again... I was hoping that would be today, but as of yet... no tasting happening in my mouth :(
I do not feel like I am getting any bigger these days... perhaps that has something to do with the fact that last month I gained a whooping 11 pounds and this month I think that I have gained 2. Nathaniel is getting bigger (as far as I can tell)... he is certainly getting stronger and it seems that he is running out of room in there. It is funny to see when he flips and it makes my tummy pointy... Daniel wants to get a picture of my tummy while it is pointy... perhaps one day in the next 3 months!
We are looking forward GREATLY to going to NC in a month :D I cannot say that I am looking forward to flying in an airplane or being at an airport while I am 31 weeks pregnant, but hey... seeing my family and eating BBQ is well worth it! It is kind of funny, I have mentioned to Dan several times that I miss my family dearly and he is like, "it has only been 6 months since you have seen them". I have to remind him that is the LONGEST I have ever gone without seeing Mom and Autumn (and for that matter Mimi and Daddypa)! Even when I lived in UT before, I pretty much came out to NC every 6 weeks or so. When I lived in Maryland, I still saw them every 6 weeks or so. When I was at school in VA or at Barton, I saw them at least once a month! 6 weeks, 6 months, eh, what's the difference, right!? Dan asked the other day if we were going to get to go to the beach while we were in NC, yet again, I had to remind him that it will be too cold for that! I told him that we would have to go back in August (cause we will really want to travel with a 3 month old) so that we can go to the beach! Obviously, Dan loved the beach when we were there last time... LOVED IT! Anyway, enough of my rambling... I suppose I should get ready for work since Carol is picking me up and we are going to go see Sean (who is home from the hospital now by the way) before heading to work!
