Green Beans...gotta love'um...babies too...

So Tony has been working a TON of extra hours the last couple of weeks because the green beans are on and ready to be harvested.  When it is green bean season, that means that Tony's works 6 days a week, 12 hours a day.  So generally what has been happening is Tony leaves for work about 3:30 pm and then doesn't get home until about 5:30 am.  So then he goes down stairs in the guest bedroom and tries to get in a decent amount of sleep and comes up around 12:30 pm - 1:00 pm.  Then I put Josh down for his nap (after seeing Daddy for about 5-10 minutes) and then Tyler and I get to hang out with Daddy for a couple hours before he has to head back up to work to do it all over again.
It has been a couple very long weeks of this, but it will be done soon - maybe even today.  Tony got a call from his boss about 2:30 pm today saying that their filler machine broke and they need him to come into work right away.  If they can't fix it quickly, then they will be done with green beans today.  That would be great news, but the really good part has been that Tony has been able to get a lot of overtime, which we really need.  So that is definitely the silver lining of my story.  The really sad part is that we don't even really like green beans.  I will eat them every now and then, but they are far from my favorite vegetable ---- Tony just hates them, if not before, he definitely hates them now.
I would say the hardest part of Tony being unavailable for so much of the day is that I have been feeling terrible.  I am so so tired all the time and I pretty much feel like I am about to throw up all day long.  One day I love something, and the next day that same food totally makes me sick.  I am sure you guessed by now that I am pregnant.  I am only about eight weeks along, so I haven't told anyone besides family.  No Facebook comments or telling the neighbors yet.  It is hard to want to keep a blog for my journaling and then feel like I have to leave such a big part of my life out of it.  Well, lucky for me my blog is private and I am sure that anyone who actually reads my blog will keep my secret until I am further along and ready to tell the world.  We haven't even told the boys yet.  I figure we will tell them when we are ready for Tyler to go around and spread the news like only a four year old can.  We have been trying for about five months and we are really happy that it has finally happened for us.  I have been pretty nauseous from the very beginning.  I don't remember it being this bad with the other boys, but I could just not remember it.  Tony has been really good to me when he is here.  We are both really excited and can't wait to find out more about this baby.  Wow - that feels really good to talk about!
