I haven't disappeared!

Hello everyone. I haven't written on here in a while. I was busy last week with going to West Virginia and then having my Mom here. And then this week, I've just felt so sick all day. It's funny because they call it "morning sickness". But right now it's 7:21am and I feel just fine. Mine hits me around 10:30ish every morning and lasts pretty much ALL day with random relief scattered throughout the day. I so want it to be over. I never felt this bad with Kayden. Everyone says that maybe it's a girl this time. But who knows? It might not mean anything. I sure would like it to though. :-)
I have a load of laundry in right now. Can you believe it? Before 7:30 am, I have a load of laundry going. I guess crazier things have happened. I decided that I should accomplish something while I feel good before the nausea starts for the day. Maybe I should eat something too. I've lost four pounds this week just due to the fact that nothing tastes good and I get full so quick from being so nauseous. I think about things tasting good and then when I actually taste them, they definitely do not. It's so strange. I always heard of things like that happening with pregnant woman but didn't experience that with Kayden, so this is all new to me. Hopefully it won't be long lived.
I am 8 weeks along now. My baby is the size of a kidney bean and has arms and legs and many internal organs and a brain and a heart. The spinal cord which used to look like a tail no longer does. It's so cool that at 8 weeks, my baby looks almost completely like a baby. How could people not say that it's not a baby or that it's not alive? I just don't understand. I always think that saying, "If it's not alive, then why do we have to kill it?" is right on target. I mean, it just makes sense. You don't have to get rid of something that's not alive.
I just love reading each week about how my baby's growing. It just amazes me how God takes a tiny little spec and turns it into a beautiful baby. It amazes me how quickly everything forms. I look at Kayden sometimes and I'm just in awe that he started off as just a spec inside of me and came out this gorgeous 6 lb. 14 oz blessing. It's just amazing. And I can't believe that some people think otherwise.
It's so quiet and peaceful here right now (except for the humming of the washing machine). Kayden is still upstairs sleeping. Hopefully for another hour. Jon left minutes before I started to write on here. And Brooklyn is lying on the couch hidden by pillows. At least I hope so. Coz if not, I have no idea where she is. :-) It was not this quiet, however last night around 10:45pm. I put Kayden in his room around 10:20pm and he was quiet for a while because he knew we were in the bathroom getting ready for bed. Well he expected me to come in and lay with him, but I didn't. I went in my room. So he's in his room, yelling, "Mommy, Mommy", butas he's saying it, he makes it come out different each time. Like he'll say it really high pitched and then he'll say it really low. It was really funny. Jon and I were just laughing in our room. Then he starts saying "mine, mine" and we figured he was having a little argument with either Elmo or Winnie the Pooh who slumber next to him at night. Well of course that was hilarious to us too and then we heard him hit one of them! Which now I know, our child should not be hitting anyone, but it was really funny. We just couldn't believe that he was having an argument with a stuffed animal. What a child. I guess it's better with a stuffed animal than another kid right?
I think I hear my cell phone beeping with a text message. I sure hope not because it's upstairs in our room and I don't want it to wake Kayden. He's not the world's best sleeper. Only when he wants to be, and that doesn't happen very often. Yep I just heard it again. It's either Jon or my mother-in-law. No one else really texts me, especially not this early. Hopefully it doesn't bother Kayden. or one of them is in trouble! ;-)
Well I think I've written enough. I had a lot to say since I haven't written in so long. I think it's time for another load of laundry too!
