What is a blog?

Ok i know i have a lot of dedicated readers so i know i've disppointed you all with my lack of posts. I have no excuses, i have no reasons. Other than being sick all day, watching a baby, working, paying bills, cleaning, cleaning, cleaning, sleeping, doing laundry and cleaning more....i have nothing to do all day.
I've been feeling pretty 'eck' of late but i guess that's to be expected of the 1st trimester. I was bumped back one week on my due date since my u/s measured me to be one week behind. I knew i was though since at 4 weeks my pregnancy tests were all negative and at 5 wks they suddenly showed up +. So i had to do week 9 twice. Sorta a bummer. I haven't been AS sick as i was with Kenzie which is good but having to be up and active with my toddling tot isn't helping my nausea one bit. With kenzie if i was sick...i laid down and relaxed for 3 hours. With this munchkin i get no such breaks. BUT i'm nearing the 2nd trimester and i'm freally excited about that. I do feel sorta bad because i'm not as 'in' to this pregnancy as my first. I'm hoping that once i start feeling him/her move that it'll be different but i am just so much more complacent this time around :(. Don't get me wrong, it's still amazing and wonderful and we're so psyched...but it is just different.
Kenzie is doing great these days. She's runnign everywhere and trying to force her independance on us. She doesn't like to sit in strollers or carts anymore...she wants to run. We were at SAMS yesterday and she walked up and down and around the aisles for like 30 mins just laughing and cracking herself up. She's ok to run around sometimes and will listen to me and follow me most of the time, but there are times when a swift pop on the bum is needed to keep her in line. :)
Joel is doing well this his schooling and work. Nothing much new to report there. We didn't get our January VA payment which SUCKED and we don't know why....but we knew we could fall back on our tax money. Well then i wake up today and our bank account is $3000 richer thanks to state tax returns and a random $1800 payment from the VA. Guess i won't complain! :)
I'm still enjoying my job at the bank and it's going well. I need to write a letter to the board of directors soon to ask for approval on my leave of absence for maternity leave since i've been there less than 1 year. HOPING they approve me!!
Joel and I are counting down the payments until we are car payment free! 8 months on his car and 11 on mine and that'll be done with! Hopefully we can keep them both running for at least one more year to save that extra money!
We've currently got about 6 inches of snow on the ground and i'm having a great time playing in it. Kenzie...not so much. She's not quite stable enough to walk in it so she doesn't understand the joys of snow. I would take her sledding but i can't since i'm preggo :( oh well.
I get to come to FL in April and i'm really looking forward to that. Thanks for Joel's aunt Sandy i get to fly down for free and stay for nearly a week! YAY!! I need some warm weather and i'm already prepping with some cute maternity clothes! I splurged $70 last night on some clothes from Old Navy but it was my tax return gift. We technically probably should use all of the money for bills....but what fun is that!? So Joel and I each get $200 to splurge and have some fun with. Life's no fun if all you do is pay bills right?
We're going to put away quite a bit of cash and pay off some bills and start stocking up on supplies for baby #2 and save some cash for vacations over the next year too.
Well i have a screaming toddler who needs me so i'm out!!!
