Le Sigh
Hello, faithful readers! Did you miss me?
Sorry, lots has been going on. I've been staying home full-time with Emma since mid-January. Am loving it! Except that there is LOTS to do in terms of housework which is very hard with a toddler running around! I tell ya, this kid gets into EVERYTHING! Her favorite? She watches for when you open a drawer then runs around the corner and sticks her hands in and grabs whatever she can before you catch her and take it away.
Oh and speaking of taking things away. Oy veh the tantrums! You'd think the world was coming to an end just because you took away the sippy cup, car keys, measuring spoons, wallet, book [pick one].
So now my mom is getting on my ass about setting boundaries with Emma. Um... duh! I'm all for child-led parenting, but my version is more along the lines of let the child explore what they want, but not let them run amok in public places and live with no rules. I'm sorry, but there have to be consequences for bad behavior.
Um what else is new.
Oh how did I forget! I'm pregnant again! Currently sitting pretty at 8 weeks with Baby #2! We have mixed feelings about this one; well, I do anyway. While I'm very excited about it, it's going to be more financial, physical, and emotional stress. But of course, who would say no to another baby to love? Not I!! Of course J and I are patiently waiting for the reality of this pregnancy to set in. I have an ultrasound on the 7th of June - I think it will feel more real then.
But I must say, if one more person says "was this a surprise?" I'm going to scream! Why is it that just because you have a one year old already, any consecutive babies must be a surprise? What if this was planned? (It was, by the way - just didn't think it would happen this quickly; after all Emma took us 18 months!). I mean, COME ON! First of all that's none of anyone's business whether it's a surprise or not, but whatever happened to "congratulations! That's so exciting!!!" ??? Oh. My. Some people, eh? Oh well - we're excited and that's all that matters.
But my mom's response is my favorite by far. "What ever happened to birth control? Abstinence, Kody, Abstinence!"
What else.
We've moved closer to Seattle. J got a new job. That's very exciting - it's a HUGE opportunity for him and has lots of growth potential. He didn't have any of that at C&B and so this is huge! And completely surprising as well as he wasn't looking for a new job - they offered this to him out of the blue! Wahooo!
And now said husband is staring at me across the table, commenting on my ability to type away whilst staring at him and not the keyboard or monitor... wondering what the hell I'm typing away about. I think it's rather funny, and will keep him guessing as long as I can.
But now, we're in dire need of more endorphins. And then a shower before Emma wakes up.
Will update you on the Mommy Drama or Why Must Mommies Compare Their Children later.
