8 weeks

Well i have been useless for the past month.  I can't believe how drained this pregnancy has made me.  Normally i am a little more tired and nauseated but this time i am just puny! I feel bad because i have all these responsibiliities and i have barely been staying on top of them.  Then again i have been doing them just not always the best of my ability.  I keep hoping in a few weeks this will all start to lift and i can get my old crazy Erin energy back...some of my ADHD would be great right now!  We are right at the 8 week mark and next Tuesday we have our second ultrasound.  I am so excited for it and can't wait to see our little peanut.  We are still concerned about the possibility of twins but i have been trying to put it on the back of my mind until the ultrasound, no point in getting worked up over it if it isn't true.  I know we can handle two but we just didn't have it in the plans...lol...then again God works in mysterious ways, right?

Other than my utter exaustion we have been super busy.  I am now a Girl Scout Brownie Troop Leader for my daughter's troop and it has been alot of work to get started but it is reallly fun.  I know every week our meetings will be a new experience where the girls can learn how to be better little citizens.  It is exciting!  This week we are letting the girls learn more about what it means to be a girl scout, set goals for what they want to do this year, and hailey is going to show them how to make origami.  My goal is to have one girl show of something they can do or a special gift they have every week! I think it will be a great way to help with public speaking and to build confidence in each girl!

Other than that we are just getting ready for the holidays and all the weddings we have in October.  I am super excited about my best friend kim's wedding this Sunday, 10-10-10.  I am thrilled for her happiness and can't wait for them to start making babies..lol.  I am her maid of honor and i am over the moon to spend this day with her and her soon to be husband!  Also this month i am honored to make another trip to Iowa for a wedding with my mom and the kiddos for an old family friends wedding.  I get to spend a short amount of time visiting my family and see a gorgeous wedding.  I can't wait!

I am sure i will write again next week after our ultrasound but for now i need to get working on my lessons for girl scouts then get ready for Fall Festival time...the best time of the year, lots of fried foods and carni rides.  Yum-yum!
