Laundry...

This explosion has taken over an entire living room. This is only a quarter of the clothing! 10 people, 1 week...goodness gracious do I hate laundry.

Pre-k or Straight to Kindergarten?

Kaileb took his "test" today to see if he is eligible to start kindergarten early or not. His birthday is October 25 2008 so he falls in that category. From what I heard, I dont know if he is ready. He gets super nervous. He is so smart though!

I grabbed a pre-k form though...just in case. Anyone else wondering if they ahould send thier child to kindergarten early?

Ahhh. This is my last baby. My 7 lb 2 oz baby boy is not 12 lb 1 oz. I am trying to enjoy EVERY minute of his babyhood… He is the happiest baby I have ever met. And he is the spitting image of his daddy.(Not fair! I did all the work and he gets all the credit!) Today I realized that he is growing up way to fast. He is already 2 months 2 weeks (6 days, 3 hours, 4 minutes…)… But really. He is almost 3 months old!I just had him. I was just screaming for the epidural. I just held him in my arms for the first time. My boyfriend does not find it funny when I say I miss him being inside me. He reminds me of my crying about how I just wanted him here in my arms and I would be so happy. (And I am… I am absolutely smitten…)But he needs to slow down. He is living the life.

He nurses like 20 hours a day (it seems like). He gets everything done for him. He coos and melts my heart. I’m not ready for crawling or walking or talking or yelling. I honestly wish I could video tape these first couple years. So I could go and watch them when I am at my wits end with him. I wish I had done that with my last two.

I have realized that I took my last two boys “babyhood” for granted. I didn’t think it would go by so fast. I didn’t realize I would be wishing for those days back so soon.

My other two were more difficult. Every thing about my pregnancy and birth just seemed more difficult. I think a lot of it was my unhappiness in my marriage. I had a alcoholic husband that was not nice and treated me like crap. He told me on multiple occasions how much he resented me, my pregnancy, my health issues, and “our kids”. It broke my heart. When your relationship is not that great, you don’t enjoy anything. I wish I could have that time back. I wish I could have been as happy as I am now with Jeff. But, you live and you learn.

On that note, I have been up for too long and I am starting to ramble…(or maybe I am finishing my ramble?)

I have 3 handsome little boys and I am so proud of them…I Can not wait to see what is to come <3

 

How did you feel during your children's “babyhood?”
