Six Months and Counting!

I am a terrible blogger. I don't know what has stolen my blogging mojo, but clearly it is gone! I don't know if it is the constant nausea (I mean, REALLY...nauseous at 6 months still?), the brain cells that this little girl is zapping, or the fact that things have been awfully low key around here lately-but I have nothing to write about.

I can tell you the pregnancy is going well. I'm 26 weeks so I feel like I can start counting backwards now-14 weeks more or less until we meet this little girl! I am seeing an English speaking midwife and Paul and I are considering all of our birthing options here in Sao Paulo so we can avoid being included in the 90% c-section rate in Brazil. We're starting to get the babe's room ready and I think we've picked a name. I recently started a yoga class twice a week and I'm indulging in a weekly home massage. I can't really complain-other than the nausea, things are more and less great! I'm hoping little to no weight gain so far will help post partum so I don't feel the need to schedule my mommy makeover (that's usually free with the c-section here) right away! Anyway, things are moving along...

The kids are good. Noah's loving the kindergarten program and finally starting to challenge himself with new activities and "work" (a Montessori term) at school. Sophie is about the happiest little girl around and madly in love with her teacher. She's starting to show an interest in writing words like her big brother and is perfecting her baby knowledge. I think she'll be a big help when this little girl arrives.

We don't really have any vacations second semester so we're pretty much vacationing at Club Portal (home!) as the weather permits. Tomorrow's the first day of fall and we're starting to feel a shift in the weather. It's been warm and sunny during the day and cool in the evening. Pretty much perfect.

I have every intention of being a better blogger so keep checking back!
