An Important Announcement!

My husband brings it to my attention on a daily basis (just about) that I have been a slacker with my blog.  Grudgingly I admit that he's right.

So I'll catch you up on what's been going on in the Clark household...

On November 21st we found out that we would be adding a new little baby to our family!!  The official due date is July 12, 2012 but that's subject to change when the dating ultrasound takes place.  And the actual delivery date will be about two weeks prior to my due date since I will have a scheduled c-section.  We'll be returning to St. Francis Women's with the same OB/GYN group that delivered Hannah & Samuel. 
Hannah & Sam are very excited about the idea of a new baby brother/sister.  Sammy wants a brother while Hannah wants a "healthy baby."  Secretly she wants a sister.  We were looking at baby stuff in Toys R Us and she oohed and aahhhed over the girl bibs, blankets and towels. 

So far I've been feeling okay, other than staying exhausted.  I often find myself hungry but can't think of a single thing I want to eat.  That's rather frustrating.  My ob/gyn recommended 150mg of Zantac twice a day to help with morning sickness and it certainly has worked.  For some reason your body produces extra acid when you're pregnant and the Zantac helps to neutralize it.  Though it certainly doesn't help with sights/smells that make me queasy I feel less nauseated and have been able to eat more.

So, that's the biggest and best news that we have to share!  In other areas:  Hannah's home school is going great, Bobby is still enjoying his job & classes at Clemson , and our household is still running smoothly.

I'll leave you with pictures of the kids taken at the Riverbanks Zoo in Columbia, SC (Columbia's only redeeming quality if you ask me.  It's hard for true blue Clemson fans to visit Columbia but Bobby had work there so the kids and I tagged along to keep him company.)
















The Clark's Next Big Adventure

So much for keeping the blog updated this year 😂  The Clark family is embarking on another adventure though and it's too big not to doc...
