Somehow, the whole month of April went by and I did not write a single thing for my blog. How sad, but not really surprising. I am still trying to make this a habit and life is trying to get in my way. I have been totally slacking off in the craft department. I am just not feeling "it." Really, mostly, I just want to sleep. 6 weeks of pregnancy to go and I am beat. I don't remember feeling this way with the first two, but I do recognize that I could sleep and slack off as much as I wanted with them. I didn't have a 2 1/2 and 4 year old to take care of. This time around my morning, noon and night is filled with a little boy and little girl who LOVE their mommy.
April was busy, even if I don't have much to write about. We moved the older two to the basement. They love their new room and their new bunk beds. They are doing fantastically. I am the one who is having a little trouble with the move. It is hard for me to have them in the basement, when they used to sleep write across from my room. We wanted to get them moved before the new baby came. I didn't want them to deal with ALL of that change at once. Also, trying to get the babies room set up, but I can't decide on a new theme or whatever you want to call it AND I am waiting for my husband to paint the walls. I would just do it, but he doesn't think a pregnant woman should be painting. I don't know how much longer I am going to wait before I start freaking out. Another slight problem is that my sister and Baby Ducky have my baby clothes. Of course, I don't care if they are using them, but I am starting to get ants in my pants about putting things in the dresser. I know it will eventually get done. I just need Ducky to grow a little faster and get out of the 0-3 month clothes so I can have them.
I became the Treasurer for our local TOPS Club. I have been a member of Taking Off Pounds Sensibly (TOPS) for 1 1/2 years. I joined because I wanted/needed to and was able to lose 28.5 pounds. Of course, I am now heavier then when I joined TOPS and kind of hate the idea of starting all over again in the weight-loss department. I am pregnant so i guess I have a decent excuse, for now. I love the group and have made some great friends. I plan on being a member for a VERY long time. Downside, my first official act as Treasurer was to audit the club. It took me almost 2 weeks to get the money to balance out. ANNOYING!!!
Kiki really starting potty training and is doing a fantastic job. I would say she is almost there. She can stay dry and clean during the day and most nights. However, she is having trouble getting on and off the potty by herself. She is too little, even with a stool, and she refuses to use the little training potty.
Wa is coming to the end of his first year of preschool. I know he loves going and I think he is going to miss it when we are done. He is signed up to attend 5 half days a week for the next school year. I think he is going to really enjoy himself. Not going to lie, I think I might enjoy some time with just the younger two as well! We have his IEP meeting in a couple of weeks to go over the plan for his Speech Therapy for the summer and next school year. He is making REAL progress and it feels like he will really be able to catch up with the kids in his class by the time he starts 1st grade or so. I am very proud of him. He is doing so well. I just hate that I have to remind myself of that when I am getting frustrated with him.
Farmer Stone is getting ready for planting. The machines are all ready and now we just need the weather to cooperate. Last year, by this time, planting was well underway. This year, they haven't started and that makes for some stressful times around here. Hubby is a wee bit cranky and frustrated. I know that when planting REALLY starts we are not going to be seeing much of Daddy. That is going to be hard on Mommy and the kids. I really just want planting done before the baby is born. REALLY, REALLY want planting done before the baby comes. As it is, there will be hay to cut, cows to take care of, spraying and mowing to do. They take up plenty of time, but planting and harvest are harsh.
Okay, so that is it for now. I am going to try and finish some of the quite book pages for my kids and I will post them as I get around to that. I am going to make myself work on them everyday. Along with the obsessive pregnant lady cleaning and organizing and setting up that I feel I must do.
