I stole this from Lindsey’s MySpace page.
Isn’t it an absolutely gorgeous picture of Sean and Kelsey?
What’s even sweeter is Lindsey had it posted under “My Heroes.”
My heart just melted. I hope my two children will be as close.
August 2006

Lily is fast asleep, and I am sitting at my desk with 44 ounces of iced tea and two Krispy Kreme donuts. The caffeine will be used to fend off the sugar crash for as long as possible, but, of course, when both the sugar and caffeine wear off, I will be useless.

Sugar and caffeine are actually trouble, even though they are fun. A lot of fun things are trouble. If they weren’t so much fun they wouldn’t be so hard to give up. But if they weren’t trouble, then we wouldn’t be constantly trying to give them up.  I want to give up both sugar and caffeine, and… well, you see how well I have accomplished that so far.

Being pregnant I am extremely sensitive to emotions.  For example, two days ago I put on our new Yanni DVD.  The morning was a perfect temperature with a lovely breeze, and all the windows in the house were open.  Lily was dancing with her baby doll to the Yanni DVD (track #3), and I just started crying because I was so happy and the moment was so perfect.

It’s interesting being pregnant and being in this state because you get to feel everything much more intensely.  Had I not been pregnant, I still would have been happy at that moment and felt like the world was perfect, but I wouldn’t have felt it to the extreme degree that I did.  It’s interesting being hyper-sensitive because you can’t ignore anything.  The emotions are so intense that they demand to be noticed.

Sometimes it’s entertaining and sometimes it’s annoying, but overall I’ve been enjoying the experience.  Although I think it’s been hard on Matt at times having such an emotional wife.  As always, he’s been amazing through the whole thing.  If I start crying suddenly or a fight breaks out simply because my emotions are in control of me, he’s been kind, gentle and loving no matter what.  I really do have a perfect husband.
