This has to be the most beautiful song ever written... and you should hear Alison Krauss and Gillian Welch sing it...
I'll Fly Away
Some glad morning when this life is o'er,
I'll fly away;
To a home on God's celestial shore,
I'll fly away (I'll fly away).
[Chorus]
I'll fly away, Oh Glory
I'll fly away; (in the morning)
When I die, Hallelujah, by and by,
I'll fly away (I'll fly away).
When the shadows of this life have gone,
I'll fly away;
Like a bird from prison bars has flown,
I'll fly away (I'll fly away)
[Chorus]
I'll fly away, Oh Glory
I'll fly away; (in the morning)
When I die, Hallelujah, by and by,
I'll fly away (I'll fly away).
Just a few more weary days and then,
I'll fly away;
To a land where joy shall never end,
I'll fly away (I'll fly away)
[Chorus]
I'll fly away, Oh Glory
I'll fly away; (in the morning)
When I die, Hallelujah, by and by,
I'll fly away (I'll fly away).

bits and pieces of the last week
...I think I felt the baby move today. Clara was squishing my belly while we snuggled in bed and some little person inside squirmed to get away from her probing elbow.
...My dad was in the hospital this weekend with mild heart attack symptoms, and after a scary few days, he seems to be fine. We are so thankful.
...Janie had her first ballet recital this past Thursday (pictures to come) and she did a great job. She took our breath away with her red hair tied up in a bun and her sweet self in her leotard, tights and slippers. I think I'll always remember how she looked that night.
...I'm starting to see glimpses of what life will be like with no nausea. I think my good days are starting to out-number the bad ones, which is a huge relief. I still have not seen the midwife, so that's next on my to-do list, closely followed by tackling the filth that's accumulated over here. My junk piles have piles and the dirt is staring me in the face.
...Dana's in full swing with baseball ;). I wish the games weren't always around mealtimes, but so far I think he's really enjoying it.
...Sorry for the lack of pictures lately. I'll post some pics soon. Promise.

I've always heard that women should follow their pregnancy cravings, especially when they are really sick. I think it's really interesting that I'm craving things that are amazingly high in folic acid... the latest is pickled beets. I ate a whole jar in less than 24 hours. And I've had an unbelievable desire to eat green peas. Add to the list asparagus, spinach salads, black beans, hummus, and a few others, and you have the list of foods high in folic acid from a web search I did. Funny.

my favorites, lately...
Think Thin bars... 20g of protein, and very little sugar
bean and cheese burritos... no more than once a day or else
B Complex... thanks ladies
Nature Made prenatal vitamins... much smaller than the horse pills I've always taken
roast beef sandwiches w/ cheese, tomatoes, pickles, mayo and mustard ;)
ginger ale
eggs and chicken apple sausage for breakfast
hummus and tomato sandwiches
long uninterrupted naps
