Why have I been absent?

Well, folks. I have been sick sick sick. Nothing major, just the summer taking it's toll on a pregnant lady. This means lots of nausea, very little appetite, constantly being overly hot, nearly constant head aches, stomach aches a too much of the day, and general exhaustion. It is no bueno.
Really, this has been a good pregnancy. Every day is worth it. I don't mind laying in bed awake at night when I can feel my little girl rolling around inside of me. In fact I think I could pretty much put up with anything as long as I know that she is alive and well.
But it's hard. A lot of the time it is hard. It is hard not being able to go into work, it is hard to have a hundred projects to do and no strength to do them, it is hard to have a husband who I want to give the world when I feel like I have nothing to give.
Scott has been amazing. He helps me with everything he can. He works extremely hard at research all day and then comes home to help me get projects done that need to get done. He makes sure I get at least some food in me when it is meal time. He lets me take naps whenever I seem tired. That man is a champ.
