22 weeks

We have had a busy summer.   Jim has helped managed a Florida House campaign and I'm happy to report that his candidate won the 4-way primary with little doubt.  I'm particularly proud because he was the only one on the ticket who had never ran before-  so he came from behind and kicked it too. 

During the week of the primary my family all went to St. George Island for the week.  Mom, Dad, Granny, Papa, John, Angela, Adam, Shaina, us and of course some puppies all headed to a really nice house right on the Bay in St. George.  A little fishing, a little scalloping and a lot of being lazy ensued.  Jim came and went as his schedule allowed but we had a good week. 

I am very happy to report that I no longer am intimate friends with any toilet that is near when my stomach upheaves.  For the last couple of weeks I have finally been able to keep down food and while I don't have a huge appetite, I am able to eat and have gained 2lbs back out of the 15 or so I have lost. 

This happened about the time that I "popped" with my belly and finally started feeling the twinsies move.  It is still sporadic (the movement) but I usually can feel them a little if I am laying down or slouching. 

The week before we went to St. George my parents came up early and painted the nursery and Dad helped Jim put the cribs together.  We have ordered our recliner and the room is really starting to come together.  I just need to order the dresser I like and we will be almost complete. 

August went by in a blur and Jim and I celebrated our 2nd anniversary fairly low key.  September seems to be already filled with activities, including my first shower in Okeechobee. 

We have a lot going on (Jim is back at campaigning with a vengeance) but praying we have plenty of time and babies (who shall remain nameless till birth) take their time making an appearance. 

Finally ordered thank you cards
