We were to have heard about a potential job for Kevin on Friday. That call never came despite us holding our breaths. Feel like everything is at a standstill until that call or another call comes. We wait - we have started - a rather lengthy - list of things to do & buy when we have money.
Doesn't help that come Friday, after a week of watching kids & not leaving the neighborhood all I want to do is get drunk and go shopping. Thats not possible....So instead we spent a good part of the weekend outside trying not to think about all the things we want
We are all growing like whoa! Take a look at that 29 week belly and all the extra squish around it. The last month I've grown a lot. As of today, Monday February 8 at 8:59am there are 76 days & 15hrs left till I'm fully 40 weeks. If she follows suit with my other two she will wait until just then and then burst out with a quickness. I'm just hoping (or do I really care??) that I make it to the hospital. Her name is picked and Kevin & I call her by it on occasion when no one else is around. Her nursery is done - pics to come on that - but it's beautiful.
This kid is always growing. Man. He had an extremely rough weekend. I wish sometimes that other people could be a fly on the wall on the weekends - particularly those weekends that are rough with Logan. We by far aren't the greatest parents that ever lived - we have stopped potty training at home (they are continuing at school) - but when things are stressful enough without potty training.... it's an avoidance tactic to save ourselves from that stress, for right now. We don't have the funds to send him to the best private school, I don't spend hours researching the best practices/therapies/grants he could potentially receive. But I did spend 30mins pushing him in the swing during a rough patch this weekend. Giving love when it's hardest to love ...that is what makes us good.
My little gypsy princess. She is growing in every imaginable way. Her knees physically ache her at night or maybe that's her little brain growing and coming up with a way to not only delay bedtime but to get an extra hug??! She is hungry every 30mins. I swear overnight she has turned into a little teenager with her attitude and smart talk. She folds her arms and stomps her feet. Her sweet little voice now has an edge of sass. She tests her boundaries, constantly. Last night she asked me no less than 15times if she could have another cookie, she probably asked Kevin 5 times....and in her head I bet she was thinking I wonder what the magic number of times is that I have to ask before they finally give in. Turns out that number is somewhere around 30. Ugh. My babies are growing up. Only 6 months ago she use to announce at the top of her lungs "Moma I'm gonna go poo" & then a couple minutes later shout "I'm all done" Indicating I come help her wipe. Now she goes to the bathroom shuts the door (sometimes locks it) and if I knock to go in to grab a diaper or something she politely says to me "I'm almost done Mommy I'd like some privacy until I'm finished" Can't blame her - those are the exact words I've always said to her. Just not used to hearing them said back to me....from my 4 year old.
Which brings us into the start of my birthday week .....
