21 weeks

Baby is size of a CARROT, can you believe it? She's doing just fine. I'm not doing as great. Part of this is I'll be 40 in January, not a young chick. Part of it is that I have fibromyalgia and this pregnancy is kicking my behind.

Wondering it's time to look at my schedule and ask to cut down my time at work.

It's scary to think about. I don't want to be on bed-rest. I don't want to not work. But frankly, I'm tired. I'm tired of throwing up, feeling unrested, being achy all over, all day, being exhausted just being at work.

Wish things were simple. Wish I could make the next 19 weeks zip by. Wish I didn't feel like I needed to take the vicodin or the Tylenol 3 daily to keep my body from screaming.

Bees love the Rattlesnake Master

My favorite plant has to be the Rattlesnake Master.

I'm thrilled that my backyard has attracted butterflies, bees and birds.
