Hello everyone--
First, I just want to say that we are thinking of everyone over there who have been suffering with the flooding and weather, etc. I am sorry that I haven't been in touch-- I haven't been getting notices for some reason and so I had about 8 pages to catch up on...

Also, I've been sick AGAIN. Ugh. Another cold. As part of my work, I shake hands with my parishioners as they leave church. I am not doing that anymore, until the pregnancy is over. It's winter here and snow, and everyone's germs are being passed around. Two days ago, I lost my voice (which made my DH happy, to be sure!) but is not good if you need to do a lot of public speaking! Anyway, yesterday, I woke up and had three nasty herpes blisters--cold sores-- on my upper lip which put me in a CRABBY mood and made me self-conscious. Usually, I don't get them, unless I am really run down, and then, only a small one. But here we go AGAIN. Ugh. Plus, I am worried that I will have them when the baby is born, and that is NOT good. The doc is giving me anti-virals in the 35th week, but I still have a few more weeks to go.

My hubby and I started childbirth classes. What a hoot! We are definitely the oldest in the class! He is a good sport to be present and participating...and so funny! We might write a story about this-- you have to look on the lighter side.

Tomorrow is snow again. It's wicked cold too.

Hello to all of my aussie friends, and please know that I am saying prayers and sending good wishes to everyone...new folks too!

Peace to you!
