Update on the godmother

Well, D's GAL has put in a request to ask the judge to compel the CW to do a home study on the godmother that now after 2 years wants D. I'm not sure what GAL is doing, maybe she really does think it's in his best interest, or maybe she is just trying to do what he wants since he is old enough to kind of say what he wants...or what he thinks he wants, anyway. Word from the CW is that she in no way supports him going to his godmother.

GAL lady kept saying stuff like "In a divorce case, children 13 and older are given a choice on which parent they want to live with." Well, hmmm, last time I checked this wasn't a divorce case. We haven't been co-parenting with this lady for the last 2 years and just decided to break up with her. I'm just saying, it's not really a logical argument. But, it is what it is, and we trust God to put D wherever He thinks is best. I'm not sure if the judge has made a ruling on her request yet. All the home study means is that the godmother may or may not get approved. I think the GAL might kind of be hoping that she doesn't pass the homestudy, so the point would be moot anyway.

We are heading to a SUPERHERO birthday party for some of the boys' friends this morning. I hope the boys aren't too disappointed when their birthdays aren't nearly as awesome. Just as an example, Y's birthday is in 2 short weeks and I haven't even set a date for it yet! Or begun any planning. Or anything. :)

My "friend" convinced me to join this boot camp class with our church, 3 days a week from 5:30 to 6:30. The other days I am going to try really hard to get up and either ride my bike or run, as long as my husband doesn't plan to do anything. I am going to be REALLY strong. And honestly my days go so much better and I get SO much more accomplished when I work out in the mornings. And I should be home and showered before the little ones stir, they like to sleep til 7 or 7:30 usually. Unless Y decides randomly at 6 a.m. to wake up, get out of his bed, run over to the baby's crib, and yell "BOOOOO!" and wake everybody in the house up. Not like that happened last week, or anything....

We were way over budget last month, so I'm working hard to try to save extra money this month. Also, our business is hiring our first employee, he'll start on the 12th! So much going on around here it's just craziness. If I didn't have my organizer on my phone/nook I would lose my mind. Seriously.

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 ...

Big News

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...
