confession time

OK, so it's official--I'm the biggest blogger slacker. I'm so sorry. I know it's been just downright painful for all of you to be without my blog updates for so long, but here we go with the excuses/confessions whatever you want to call them. First of all, Campbell has been sleeping approximately 1 hour per day for about a month. That's right ladies, from 7 AM to 8 PM, my child sleeps only an hour, so, that doesn't leave much time for other things besides the essentials: clean dishes, clean clothes, and a quick rest. Then we went to the beach for a few days with my parents. So much fun, more on that later. And last but not least, my life has been totally consumed by another man for the past week. His name is Harry Potter, and I just couldn't put him down!! I started reading on vacation, but didn't have much time to read with a 20 month old to keep up with. So, since we've been home, every spare minute has been devoted to Harry. I actually stayed up until 1:30 this morning finishing the book. Sad, I know, but what a great book. I won't spoil it for anyone who hasn't read yet, but I was thoroughly enthralled by all 759 pages. And so, those are the things that have kept me from my adoring fans. I know, it's pitiful, but true.



For those that have asked, thank you, I am finally starting to feel better and not get sick anymore. I am moving into that good stage of pregnancy, which unfortunately only lasts like a minute, but I plan to enjoy it and get some things done. Yeah, I know what you're thinking, we'll believe when we see it. Or is that just what my husband is saying to himself as he reads?!? Also, we find out boy or girl in 2 weeks. Very exciting. I don't have a feeling either way, I'm just hoping for a good health report.



As for vacation, we had WONDERFUL time in Panama City Beach with my parents, brother, sister, brother-in-law, and sweet nephew. Campbell had fun despite coming home with the following ailments: a black eye, a busted lip, a gash on his had, a strawberry on his elbow, and 2 skinned knees. My brother told me we were going to get turned in for child abuse! What can I say, he doesn't listen when you tell him to walk not run. But I'll tell more about vacation when I get the pictures from Mom and Jamie's cameras to post. You've got to see little Rocky's eye. It's classic.



And last but not least, I'd like to wish my sweet little nephew Russ a VERY HAPPY 2ND BIRTHDAY today. He's a sweetie, and I hope he has a wonderful, wonderful day. Here's an old but cute picture of my little buddy reading with Campbell at his Aunt Peeky's house. (yes, that's what he's been calling me lately, who knows why. But it's better than the Pete he was calling me a few weeks ago!) We love you, Russ.
