What is the smartest thing to do when you've had the most stressful and worst financial year of your life? Get pregnant! To make it even more fun, get a subchorionic hemorrhage and spend a few weeks on bed rest (with five kids at home and hubby at work long hours).

All kidding aside, it has been one crazy year. I'm about 14 weeks along and baby seems to be doing fine, but all this bleeding is scary. It seems this will be an ongoing issue for this pregnancy. This will be our last baby, which is a relief in some ways (no more morning sickness and mastitis!), and sad in others (no more sweet children!).

My morning sickness decided to kick it up a notch the last few weeks so I feel like a crazy woman sometimes, but thankfully due to a great set of visiting teachers, sister-in-laws and in-laws we've been getting dinners and such. My sister Heather actually surprised me and flew up to take care of my house and all of us for about 6 days. She left yesterday. :) I want to say thanks for all the prayers and fasting in our behalf.

We're hanging in there. We're trying to count our blessings and keep our spirits up! It will get better, I know.
