Lots of stuff going on!

As I write this, I am currently in Austin, Texas at the Consortium for Entrepreneurship Education FORUM. We left Jacksonville at 3:30 am Friday (11/07) to make it to the New Bern airport by 4:30 am for our 5:30 am flight. Then went to Charlotte. There we had a 2 1/2 hour layover. And since we didn't have to be in Austin until Sat. morning, we gave up our seats on our original flight. We didn't have anything better to do. So we then flew to Dallas-Fort Worth and then to Austin. We arrived in Austin right around 3pm Central Time. We were so tired!!! It had been a long day! We got to our hotel put our stuff in the room. Went to the hotel restaurant and when we went to bed, Wheel of Fortune was still on!!! We slept for nearly 11 hours and we are still tired. Of course with this pregnancy, I have been tired at night anyways. I have not been sick at all, just ready to crash at 8 pm every night! We have been learning a lot and meeting lots of interesting people though. So it is all worth it.

My biggest concern is being gone 5 days! I have never left Tyler that long, but he seems to be doing fine. He has gotten caught up on his Daddy time! With Ken working nights, we see him in the mornings as we are getting ready to leave (usually) and on the weekends. Ken told me they have a surprise for me. I asked Tyler about it and he told me they used the drill and screws! I couldn't understand whatelse he told me although he talked for 2-3 minutes about it! He was so excited about whatever it is. Makes me kinda nervous!!! Tyler is staying with grandma tonight since Ken has to work so he will love that. Tomorrow they are meeting me at the airport. I get in at 5:30pm and Ken is suppossed to be at work at 5, so he'll go in late and I'll take Tyler home. I can't wait to see him!!!! I miss my little buddy!

Baby wise, I am 11 weeks now. Everything is going fabulous. My next appointment is on the 18th and I will have a sonogram. It will be too early to see what it is, but I will find that out later. I am too impatent to wait until the end to find out!!! :) Hope all is well with you!

Congratulations on your pregnancy. I have the highest respect for all mothers. I think I missed out on the mommy gene. I love being a mommy to my dogs but that's about all I trust myself with.

I know that you are getting a little antic, take it from me what the doctor says is not always right. When I was carrying my daughter my doctor told me that I was having twin boys, and when it was said and done I have one beautiful girl. I brought two crib, two stroller, and lots of boy baby clothes, it was a pain to take it all back. My no matter what I have a beautiful daughter that has grown up to be a beautiful young lady. I know this is an exciting time, make the best of it and take care.

Girl, I just sat here and read everyone of your blogs. I had no idea you'd started one on here, so I'm sorry it's taken me so long to catch on! I am so outrageously happy that you and Ken are expecting again. I think you are one of the most amazing people in this world for remaining so happy and so positive when you have such a huge reason to be just the opposite. I wish we lived closer so I could see you again and offer you some help or something during your pregnancy! :) I'm subscribing to your blog now that I know you're here!

Sounds like you've been really busy. Try to take some time and rest over the holidays. 4 boys huh, well maybe you'll get a girl this time. That will surely add some spice to your life. Congrats to you and your family.

How did you like Austin? I was down in San Antonio for 7 weeks a few years ago for work and we went up to Austin and the spent the day one Saturday. I loved it. It is so nice up there. I loved touring the Texas Longhorns campus.
