I apologize to all of you out there who check the blog for my lack of posts. I thought I was going to have some time this past weekend to post some pictures from the last 2 weekends but just can't seem to do it. I am still really sick but am hoping I am nearing the end. I have had a few 2 days here and there without vomiting so I think the end is in sight. The fatigue subsided with Kate around 13 weeks so hopefully I will be able to blog in place of 2-3 hour naps on the weekend here soon. It is just amazing how hard this pregnancy has been. Worth it I know...just hard.
I have several pictures to post when I get back from Chicago so stay tuned. Weekend before last, my mom and Bob came up for a Bats game and last weekend, Ryan's Dad and Opal Ann came up for a visit. We had a blast both weekends! It is so nice to have enough room for everyone to come up and stay :)

New addition to The Mardis Family
Yes, that is right, there will be a new addition to The Mardis Family in March of 2010! We are so excited we can hardly stand it. One small glitch...I have been sicker than a dog this time around. To date (7 weeks), there has not been one similarity between the two pregnancies. I now understand how fortunate I was with Kate to have survived the pregnancy with only a few minor/typical problems/illnesses. This time around, I can't seem to keep anything down.
Ryan and I went to the doctor this past Wednesday and got to see a picture of the little one, heart beating a solid 120 bpm. Our doctor said that was a great heartrate for the age. It will go up as he/she ages!
We are due March 28th! Kate is very excited and keeps asking if she can change it's diaper all by herself. I guess my new goal is to get her trained for the 3:00 a.m. diaper change :) The funny part is that she does not want it to be a boy. We keep asking her what to name her little brother or little sister, she says, "well, mommy, it is not going to be a brother." I guess this is one way to teach a 3 year old disappointment.
Sorry there are no pictures this week. We had a fun weekend but if you refer back to paragraph one, I have not been feeling well enough to take the time to remember the camera, much less, take pictures. On top of that, Kate has been running a 101-103 degree temperature since Thursday. Needless to say, it was kinda a low-key weekend. We tried to go to Lucy's 1st birthday party on Saturday afternoon but only lasted about 20 minutes. Sorry we missed it Miss Lucy! We hope you had a wonderful big day! You looked too precious in your pink tutu!

Sarah's Baby Sprinkle
We made the most of a long weekend with Sarah and Sam in town. As noted below, we swam most of Saturday. Sunday morning, Sarah and I took the kids to the zoo for a few hours and then we headed to Jennifer's for Sarah Baby Sprinkle! It was so fun to look at all the precious little girl goodies!
April and I gave Sarah 7 new homemade tie-dye onsies! They turned out great but really I think we had more fun making them than anything!
Enjoy all the pictures!

Swimming...finally
So we move into a house with a pool and it turns out to be the coldest July in history! Despite the rain and cool weather last Thursday, the Ellis's came up for a visit and in between the rain drops, the girls got some swim time for about an hour or so! They loved it and could care less the temperature of the water. As you can see from the pictures; however, there were no grown ups in the water!!!There are also a few from Saturday. Sarah and Sam Clements came up for the weekend and we had a blast! The kids swam for most of the afternoon Saturday since the temperature actually reached above 80! We cooked out with the Sherman's and then watched a little TV before all the kids went down (quickly) around 9. The pool was enjoyed by all this weekend!
Kate and her tricycle
Here are some pictures of Kate's favorite new activity...riding her tricycle that she finally grew in to! She loves to ride it when we walk the dogs and around the circle! A few falls at the beginning but now she is an old pro!http://picasaweb.google.com/whitneymardis/KateRidingHerTricycle#
