Summer 2011 – week 1
This week was sort of random. We did lots of work… a little play. We’re getting used to a new schedule. The kids were funny. The kids were hard. The kids were energetic. Yep – it was a jumble of things.
The best parts:
Max: “I love your baby.” Then with kisses and sweet little “meow, meow, meows” he kisses my belly.
Abe: “I don’t want to go on a mission because I’ll miss you too much mom.”
Mom: “I’ll miss you too… but I can write emails and send photos. And I’ll mail packages with treats and snacks.”
Abe: Clapping – “Oh, yay!” Then he was okay about going on a mission.
Hannah: “And I’ll mail you pasta.” (Our fam knows that Abe mostly just loves eating noodles… like every day.)
Tru: Every time he looked at the neighbors house (they have a cat) he intensely said, “Titty tat. Soft.” All week he mentioned this since on Monday he tried to pet a cat at the park … but hit it instead. It ran so fast so I told him he needed to be soft.
Max: referring to needing to go potty… “I probably did … yesterday.” I know I’ve mentioned this before… but it still makes me laugh every time.
Abe: referring to skin color… “Mom, you are mostly red. Me and Tru are white. Hannah and Max are tan.”
Mom: “What is dad?”
Abe: thinking… “Gray.” (in reality… Dad fits in with the Hannah and Max club)
So there you have it… our life in a nutshell.
p.s. ought to note… went to the doc this week. Saw a different guy in the group. I just hit 3rd trimester status… so he informed me that I’m part of the high-risk clinic now because of my high blood pressure (even though it’s completely controlled by medication). I never had high blood pressure until I was in the hospital right after having Truman. I guess it stuck with me. So – that little tidbit now means that at 32 weeks (july 5), I have to start having twice a week non-stress tests for baby to make sure the placenta is still functioning… and also being watchful that I don’t get preeclampsia. Mostly weird… since I’ve had really normal pregnancies. The doc also said they’d deliver at 38 weeks instead of 39… so that would put my c-section on August 15-ish. I guess we’ll see what happens at my next appointment.
That’s probably the last thing you need–more doctor appts huh. Twice a week? Sheesh. Good luck =). Every time I read your blog I admire your talent to write and put everything in the right light. You have a true talent and your kids are going to have such a legacy of everything recorded so well. I wish I lived next to you and I would make you show me how to do the scrapbook pages and so many other things!!!
