Daycare and Easter!

Well, it was the first day of daycare today.

Y cried when I left him. And then I started crying too. Pretty pitiful. I might burst into tears again if I think of it too much, so moving on!

C was enthralled by the giant train set in the 3-year-old room, he didn't even tell me goodbye he was so focused on it!

Also I found out that their daycare/preschool has daily Bible stories, which I am so grateful for. I didn't even think to ask about that, because I guess I just assumed that they wouldn't...I mean I wouldn't expect for D to learn about the Bible at school, so why would I expect that from the daycare? But they do! And I am so thrilled about it! I mean...yeah. It makes me happy. :)

We had a pretty good Easter. I bought all the boys Easter baskets. I gave D his basket on Saturday night. I had bought him a drawing set with different types of pencils, an instructional book, and an artist pad. I bought him some other things like an egg timer (so he can keep track of how long he needs to practice his drums - he could even take it to his friends' house and set the buzzer so it goes off when he needs to go home or whatever), a little motorized fan thing, a drawing thing where you scrape off this black stuff to reveal shiny metal stuff underneath and make a picture out of it, and some shower gel. I was pretty stoked about it. Sometimes it's hard for his age to find something that I know he will like - it's so easy for the little boys because honestly they like about everything. But I think D liked what I bought for him, so that was good! He has already been working on the scraping picture a lot and he is doing a really god job on it. :)

For the little boys I got them some whistles, and these water-sucker tubes where you pull the water up and then shoot it out, and some little cars. I was going to give them bubbles but decided against it - I think it would be best if I am in charge of bubble blowing until they are a little older!!

We went to my parent's house and had an Easter-egg hunt, and the boys got to play with their water toys. Pretty much all of us got squirted, mostly it was just by accident because the boys were paying no attention to where they were aiming their water toys! D also showed C how to shoot himself in the face with his water toy, and C did it over and over and over again. It was quite hilarious! My husband took a video which I really wish I could post on here because it was super cute. :)

All in all it was a really good Easter!

    Nice! You'll have to let us know how little Y was at daycare after you left. Poor guy! Probably just doesn't understand that you'll come back for him ;)

The news

In the spirit of this being my blog, and knowing that if anything were to happen I'd be blogging about it, I am sharing my news. So, several weeks ago I started feeling sick. We have been so lucky this year, we really haven't been sick at all which is really saying something considering the number of people who live in this house. I figured we were due, and wasn't too worried about it. You already know where this is going don't you!?!?!? A few weeks later, I really wasn't feeling any better.  Suspicious, I took a pregnancy test. Positive! What??!?!??! Yeah. Ben is 13 months old today, and I am 8 weeks, 4 days pregnant. Due September 25.  I am still nursing Ben at least 6 times a day, sometimes as much as 8 times. Apparently I have become Miss Fertile at some point over the last 2 years, after about 5 years of being Miss Infertile. There have been some moments of panicking, like when I called my mom because I was so scared to tell Brian because I thought ...

Alright, I think I'm ready to share. I was going to wait a few more days for more confirmation, but honestly I feel like all of you that follow my blog are my friends, and so if this doesn't work out then I am going to be on here crying and everything about it so I might as well just tell you, right? In July I started feeling really ill. I was having a hard time with getting out of bed in the morning. I was also training for a 31-mile race which takes place in October, and I noticed that physically I was just falling behind.  I religiously time my runs and I could see that my paces were getting slower and slower, and in the mean time I felt like I was working harder and harder.  I never felt well; in fact I felt downright awful. I just wanted to sleep all day, or at least just lay on the couch and watch TV. I had another symptom which made me very suspicious. My boobs hurt like nobody's business. Usually this is a sign that I am about to start my "surprise" pe...

Birth Story

Before I worry all of you, I want to let you know that at 5:24 a.m. on Thursday, January 17th, I gave birth to a 3 pound baby boy. He is healthy and doing awesome so far. I was exactly 29 weeks into my pregnancy. This is my birth story. The evening of the 15/16th I was having some contractions. Nothing too crazy though. The morning of the 16th I complained to Brian that every time I moved in bed I had a contraction.  After what happened last week (having contractions, went to L&D, nothing was wrong) I just assumed it was basically the same. The 16th was my 30th birthday.  I felt pretty crappy all day.  I assumed I was either starting to get sick (since my 3 little ones had been sick) or else that my body was working hard to fight off the sickness. I went to the Social Security Office to request new SS cards for the kids, came home and took a nap, and swept and mopped the kitchen floor. That was pretty much all I did, other than making dinner and general kid ta...
