My birthday came and went. I am now 30. I was looking forward to turning 30 and was not expecting to be pregnant again while doing it. I was wanting a large celebration because I think 30 represents my complete decent/ascent into adulthood, no longer a child. My sister-in-law had a grand party for her 30th, we are 5 days apart in age and I found myself being jealous of her celebration. I had to stop and remember that I need to celebrate her and rejoice with her!
Ken did try to make my day as special as he could. We went out to the "chicken store" (Chick-fil-a) so the girls could celebrate with me the day of my birthday. And the next day was good as well! It was nice to have a date with him because of the help from our friends April and Ryan. We went to firebirds and then watched a pretty good movie, Chronicle. He also got me a prenatal massage at my favorite place, Bellies and Babies. So that is all some good stuff! No large celebration like I wanted but I do hope to hang out with some women at the beginning of March at Bistro La Bon. I do hope that works out.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!! :spin:
-fast-forward to the present-
Right now in I am dealing with a very sick littlest girl in the house. She sneezes, coughs, cries, acts happy, had trouble breathing while drinking her bottle, and is touching EVERYTHING with her little germy hands. I think Ken gave her whatever he had and she just seems to be miserable with happiness. Kind of perplexing. Right now I have her watching the Backyardigans and she enjoying every minute of dancing and watching this show. Makes me very happy to see her so happy. Jingling her Pooh Bear rattle while she dances. LOVE! I hope she gets to feeling better because it breaks my heart to see her so miserable and not being able to breath very well.
She is over 10 months old now and she is still not crawling. I just helped her up from this awkward position she tends to always get herself in while reaching for things. Can be quite hilarious. If she would only learn how to crawl for what she wants, she would not be in this position. Ha! I do know that when Joel comes, I am going to have the most difficult time if she is not somewhat mobile. I am guessing I will carrie Joel in the moby and scoot her along in the umbrella stroller. I will have to work it out.
Man...that leads me to thinking how I am going to juggle kids in and out of our camry. I will not think or talk of it because we can't get something bigger right now anyway.
I'll talk about Maya.
Today, Maya did not take a nap like she was supposed to and part of that could be because Orion was crying with snot face in the next room for part of the time she was laying down. I am having a hard time getting her to see the importance of taking a nap at her age. She also has been wetting the bed at night, acting out in school, and has not been wanting to do anything but watch shows. I do think a lot of that has to do with her inability to comprehend nap time. I have sought the advice of other more veteran parents to get advice on this situation. And we are trying all that they have done. I think it might be working but I am still having a hard time with her nap schedule.
This weekend is the birthday party for the great-grands. I really hope we are able to see Keresten. I am almost positive that Payton will be there so that is good. I am probably going over to Angie's house with grandma is they don't let her come over. Just to give her gifts that we have had and bought for her. I also hope that Billie makes this party about the kids and not about her problems. I REALLY hope her "husband" does not act out, too, and I hope that we are all safe. I never know what to expect from people that have been addicts. I kind of wish they would not be there but it is her kids' party as well as Maya's. I hope she is not using again. Please! Our last conversation about grandma was not that good. I hope we don't kill our grandma's poor heart with family feud type situations.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DINGER, KERESTEN, AND PAYTON!!
Off to the grocery store for apples, ginger ale, oj, cheese and to look at birthday cakes. :spin:
