Absent

I know I have been absent from here for a while now.  Honestly, I've been absent from a lot of things in my life for a while now. 

For anyone who doesn't know, Mark and I are expecting a new addition to our family on or around Sept. 1st!!!!

While we are very excited this pregnancy has been nothing but easy for me.  Mark has been absolutely amazing and I simply couldn't do it without him.  I'm not sure how he is doing it all.  He is working full time taking two classes toward his masters and then as soon as he walks in the door in the evening, I disappear and he takes care of the kids all night and cleans and cooks.  Then once he gets the kids bathed and to bed he studies and does homework till 12:30 almost every night. 

I am trying to remain hopeful that the second trimester will bring me some relief, but being 12 weeks and not much change I'm starting to loose hope. 

As soon as I get some relief I will try to find some time to post on here as I have some great pictures I want to share, but first I have some much needed time with my kids and husband to make up.
