Zigzagzogs: Christmas 2011

I hate to even write this but I was not completely in the Christmas spirit this year:( Unfortunately, I am still not feeling 100% and I am so exhausted all the time. So what are the Herzog's to do? Pack up and go to Edmonds for Christmas! It was actually a very smooth drive and the kids were very well behaved. We enjoyed my side of the family Friday, Saturday and Sunday before packing up and heading back to Spokane Sunday evening. Santa found my parent's house (Matthew was very concerned) and everyone was very happy with what they received from him. Agatha, Alex and Bennett stopped by in the evening when we got home and Oma and Opa came by tonight for a belated Christmas.
As far as the pregnancy front, this child will either be a health food nut or a kernel of popcorn. Seriously, I cannot eat anything remotely bad for me (aka Zips) or else it is right back up yet I eat a bag of microwave popcorn per day. Very strange. And peppermint tea. Here is some shocking news...no more coffee! I know it is heartbreaking. I am heartbroken but it is just too acidic on my tummy. I am completely addicted to Starbucks blueberry scones though so that keeps me there. But that is really the only sweet. Nothing sweets sounds good at all. The belly is in full effect though. No way that I could keep it a secret if I wanted to! We are 12 weeks though and I have another appt on Wed where I get to have another ultrasound so I will again get to see Sparky and all the havoc he/she is causing me:) Well worth it though just different than the other two pregnancies! I guess Sparky knows he/she is the youngest and is just trying to make their own unique mark on our family! I love it, yet I am excited to get my self back (I know sounds awfully selfish for someone who chose this right?) Anyway, I will post some belly pictures soon when it doesn't look like a blob! HAHAHA
