With all the blooming and hatching and budding going on, it seemed only natural to take part in the birds and the bees. I'm about 10 weeks pregnant and feeling it! I took a pregnancy test on Valentines Day and suprised Alan. Almost immediately, I started feeling sick.
The girls' new form of entertainment is to follow close behind me as I rush to the bathroom to bury my head in the toilet. On many occasions I have heard Grace yell "Mae hurry - this one is disgusting." The other day, Mae was chewing up peanuts and then dramatically spitting them out on the floor. Of course I freaked out when I saw masticated nuts all over the kitchen, and she said "Mom, I frow up." Oh, how they learn by example.
I don't think my kids have minded the change in pace around here though. They love that I actually sit down to watch movies with them (an all too often occasion these days).
Alan has been a trooper for way too long. With a very boring and useless companion, along with stressful work at the office, and playing Mr. Mom before and after work, he is definately over worked and under paid in EVERY WAY. I think I need to send him on a trip when this is over. He needs a break.
I can't believe the blessing it has been to be close to family. My mom has absolutely saved us. She comes over almost everyday to help with the house and the kids. She even substituted my dance class for me when I was too sick to get off the couch. Mothers are angels. I hope I can take care of her someday. My dad has bought take-out for me many nights because I can't cook and Alan works late most nights. Sister-in-laws and friends have just come over to pick up my kids or bring dinner. Thank goodness for friends and family!
The girls are hoping for a boy and Alan is hoping for another girl. I'm impartial. I've just never been so excited for the end result!
My Grandma Sandstrom always told me "It's not easy making a miracle" and "this too shall pass." How neat that we get to make miracles.
