Slow to report


I have been keeping up the blog this month. Slap my wrist. Laziness has taken hold. Well, not really. It's just been busy. Spring Break was here, and the Monpas-Huber boys and their wonderful mother, K came to visit. It was a fun filled week of museums and parks and alot of whining. Little small boys don't like to walk long distances, their legs protest almost as loudly as their voices, and mothers being wonderful loving creatures, take pity on small protesting little ones. It would seem to have it, that everytime we took a break to sit and have a snack on the Mall, no one would sit. They all ran, and ran and ran. Playing tag, and racing up and down the Mall grass. Wait a minute! Their little legs could not, would not, should not go any more! Lo and behold, legs continue to work even when little voices said they most certainly could not go. It was an awesome week to have friends around. The kids loved sleeping four in a room and giggling all into the night. Oh how we miss our friends! Heres a picture of the mall and those little feet, who weren't really tired at all.

Since they have gone, my shopping has gone crazy. Preparing to move to Dhaka, is an interesting process. I hope I am doing a good job, but I won't really know until we get there. I do have boxes and boxes of shampoo, sunscreen, bug repellant (deet free, of course) contact lens solution, soap, razors, Oh the list could go on and on. Well actually the list does go on and on, since I have an detailed inventory of what is in each box. 6 pages later, you get the idea. Only 30 days to go, before we leave this small apartment. I am excited and nervous.

Pregnancy is .... well... just fine. It's still so early that half the time I forget that I am pregnant. The tired feet at the end day reminds me. The morning sickness seems to be better, though last week it came back to remind me, that I was not really in control of my body. This week the reflux has started. I need to get to the drugstore and get some prevacid or prilosec or zantac or whatever. While tums are great, I'm sure their effectiveness will soon wain.
