January 2, 2011

That's my due date for our newest bundle of joy! January 1st would be cool, mostly because his or her birthday would be 1-1-11, but also because it's New Year's Day, which also happens to be my mother-in-law's birthday! December 31st would be good also, for the whole tax write-off thing. :) However, this baby is not allowed to come anytime before December 26th. I do not want a Christmas baby, because who wants to be in the hospital on Christmas? Among other things, I'd totally miss out on my homemade cinnamon rolls! Guess we'll just have to see what God decides, right? But my thought is, let's just leave December 25th as Jesus' birthday. That way we don't lose our focus on the real meaning of Christmas. Think He'll buy that? :)

So to back up a bit, Nathan and I found out we were pregnant on Mother's Day, which was pretty special. We announced the news to the family about a week later and after the first ultrasound, spilled the beans to our friends. I've been feeling great, just a bit tired, which is to be expected. Just like with Benjamin, I've been craving pizza and other sweets, which I really need to get under control! I never had any food aversions with Ben, but this time the thought of sushi makes my stomach turn. This is especially funny because I couldn't stop thinking about sushi the whole month of April and consumed a ton of it the week before I found out I was pregnant! Since I'm not really supposed to have sushi now, it's not a bad thing that I want nothing to do with it! :)

So I've got 10 weeks down, 30 to go! Let the countdown begin!

Goodbye June, Hello July!

We made it. We survived the month of June. This past month was totally insane. Every weekend was filled with birthday parties, graduation ceremonies and celebrations, class reunions, and baby showers. The weekdays were spent preparing for all those events and sometimes even more parties or family dinners were held on the week nights. Of course we wanted to add to the chaos, so we threw in a camping trip up to Hume for a week as well, coming home the night before I hosted a large baby shower and family birthday dinner for Ray & Laura and their boys. Finally, to cap off the month, I attended a week-long Montessori class in SLO, requiring me to find childcare every day and get myself and both boys up and out of the house by 8 each morningYep, total madness. Oh, and did I mention that we decided to redo the front planters and while we were at it, go ahead and finally put some plants in along our driveway? Of course, I wanted it done before the party, so by the time I got my act t...

It Wasn't Supposed to be Like This

Has it really been almost a year since I've wrote on this blog? I know that I posted my farewell to the Atascadero Fire Department back in March, but the last post before that occurred all the way back to last summer...yikes! So this is how blogs just fade away... Life is busy. Between all the duties that come along with being a wife and a mom, as well as my responsibilities outside of the home, I'm just exhausted at the end of the day. And truth be told, being a mother these days has not been fun, so I really haven't wanted to write about it.  Benjamin is hard. Really hard. As in, I usually cry at least a few times a week, if not daily, from sheer frustration with him. You've heard of the term "strong willed child?" Ben could be the poster child for that book. The two of us are so much alike. We both fight for control and power and we do it poorly, in the form of threats, screams, and hands thrown up in exasperation. On one particular night, the defian...
