Social Media Silence

I never know what my policy should be when it comes to apologizing for social media silence. Is my blog really popular enough for people to miss me when I'm gone? Does apologizing just make it sound like I'm self-important? Does not apologizing make it seem like I don't think what I write here is of value?

Well, there's no hurt in a simple "I'm sorry," so I'll go ahead and offer it. Sorry it's been quiet around here lately! I have an excuse, though. Some of you may have guessed it already.

There you go m'dears! Baby number three is due to arrive on February 11, but I'm telling myself that he or she is actually due on February 18 since his or her older sisters were both late.

I'm 13 weeks along and feeling SO grateful that the first trimester is nearly over! I have been SO tired, lazy, unmotivated, and just a little a lot emotional! I'll tell you what, being pregnant with two little kiddos running around is a lot different than being pregnant with none or even just one! Let's just say the TV has definitely been on more often for the girls while I read or sleep, Andrew comes home to a messy house more often than not, and we've been eating out much more often than usual. First trimester is brutal, but I don't feel like I can complain too much since I haven't thrown up once.

I'll be honest, Andrew and I are hoping for a boy this time, although I was watching Pride and Prejudice the other night and I thought, maybe having another girl wouldn't be so bad. Andrew disagrees. :)

So if you've been wondering where the Stanges have been, now you know! Hopefully my energy will renew this trimester and I'll find the motivation to update you on Alexa's birthday (half a month ago), and whatever else comes our way. Until then, happy anniversary yesterday Andrew, and see you guys again *soon.*

Keep it real.

P.S. If anyone wants to bring me Peach Rings, Cheetohs, In 'n Out, or Chick-fil-A, I'll for sure open the door for you. Same goes for anyone who feels like babysitting. :)
