What is this all about...

Ok, not sure that I am really loving being pregnant. The all day sickness is getting better but has not fully ceased yet. There is one thing now that I just can't deal with........ stuffy nose. Anyone who knows me knows I am an allergy nightmare. At first my allergies and asthma were actually better, not so much anymore for the allergies. My asthma is fine, but I cannot breathe out of my nose. I called my doctor and she says, "Oh that is normal, your blood vessels are expanding so everything is inflamed and that is common in pregnant women?" I replied, "What if it is common for you in general?" She tells me to vacuum my room everyday, use a cold mist humidifier, which I already do, and use a saline nasal spray. AHHH not cutting it. It is all day everyday stuffed up nose. I don't know if I can do this for 6 more months. I might literally go insane. Let alone combining that with the pregnancy hormones, watch out world here I come ;). Well besides that everything else is great. There are only 3 weeks of school and then summer vacation begins, all I can say is bring it on!

News, news, news...

Well, it has been awhile since my last post and things have really changed around the Brinegar household. First off, AJ and Madison can both ride a bike. Madison with training wheels, which will be coming off this summer and AJ can ride for awhile until he stops looking in front of the bike and crashes. He is working on it. I am sure by July we will be able to go on some family rides together. I have no pictures yet, because by the time I go to get the camera AJ normally crashes and gives up, but he is getting it day by day. Secondly, we are expecting a bundle of joy in late November so I am currently dealing with the morning sickness that seems to last all day and the utter exhaustion that comes with being pregnant. I am hoping this ceases very soon. I have big plans for our house this summer, which could be in the form of a honey-do list instead of a Danielle-do list. Lastly, baseball and tee ball are in full swing. Jeff coaches both teams so he lives at the ball field. It is really quite cute because the kids love that their daddy is the coach. I will post pics of him standing next to the bases with the kids on my next entry. So, we are quite the busy family, counting down the days to summer vacation. Gotta get through SOL's and then it will be smooth sailing.
