I have been super busy with lots going on right now. We recently discovered baby # 2 is on the way. Not a suprise really since we have been trying but a suprise as to how far along we were. Seems to be a pattern with us and babies...But getting things around and hauling baby gear out of the basement, cleaning out the spare/junk/catchall room and getting Munchkin used to the thought of a new sibling is a little tiring. Especially when each day I get asked "is the baby coming out of your belly today?" "How many days until the baby is out?" "what are we going to do with the baby?"
On top of all this...Munchkin starts kindergarten in the fall *sniff sniff* and while he is uber-excited about it, we have lots to do before he is ready. Several dr. appointments, shoes to tie, patience to be taught and to top it all of....shots.... As a mother this is the worst point of the year for me. I know they are what is best for him, he will be safe from whatever biological nightmare said vaccination is for but the look on his face when he gets stuck makes my heart sink. No matter how much I tell him this is good for him, he still looks at me like I am the worst person in the world and how could I be so mean to him. Needless to say we both go out for ice cream afterwords and maybe even a stop at Wal Mart for a new matchbox car. He could probably ask for a real one and I would consider it. Mommy guilt is the worst.....
As for the work life, things are going well. I am working on a newsletter and we are going to put recipies by famous women in. I found one by Dorothy Dix and wasn't quite sure who she was even though I recognized the name. Turns out, she was the 1930's-1940's version of Dear Abbey. While researching her, I found her "Miss Dix's Dictates for a Happy Life" It's a great read and offers some great tips. She seems like quite the interesting lady.
I've babbled on enough...coming April 10th...the bump revealed!
