It is definite - two is enough


Here goes, a guy I work with, was expecting his second child. THey have no friends or family clost, he was not going to be able to be with his wife during the scheduled C-section because of his little boy. So I step in, and say bring Joshua over to my house I will watch him. SO 5 AM comes very very early to me. She was in real labor and they had went to the hospital at 4 am. Dad brought the little guy over to me just after five. Her scheduled 8 am c-section was moved to 6 am. So I have a little boy that has never been away from Mom, not been away from Dad, and does not speak English. He is 2.5 and very very good at showing me that he wants me to open the door so he can leave. This is the little guy that is bigger than my son even though my son is 1.5 years older than him. So once my kids were up, my DD did her very best to make the little guy not sad. It bothered her that he was so sad. DS was like if he isn't going to play with me I am not interested. He would not lay down, he has been up since 4 remember, he would not eat, he would not drink, but he did latch onto my SJ teddy bear I got for my birthday. It means a lot to me, but it made the little guy happy. So I have a call shortly after seven that there is a new baby boy. Jordan, 8 pounds 10 ounzes, at 7:18 am. Mommy had to be under general anestetic. But both are doing well. How is this: I got to see the little one before the mommy did. I had to take Joshua to the hospital to his dad before my dental appointment started at 9:30. Nothing like everything happening the same day. argggg So in reference to my title in the post, three kids is too many, I will take two. I had a 6, 3, 2 year old at the same time, I am not tough enough for that full time. I just aren't.
So then to my dentist, and pre-crown work on the left side and two cavities filled. Guess what: freezing actually took this time. woo hoo. Took the whole 1.5 hours and then to my massage, I made the whole session woohoo.
and Cheyenne I have been so busy I never did check to see who won the race. Can't say as I like the initials JJ at all.

I will go out on a limb here and predict that Jeff Gordon will win at Darlington, since he has won there so many times already. Let's see how right I am, sad as it may seem.

What a day!!!! I have one - and 7-year-old, and on Sunday we invited two of her friends over,I suppose they are about the same age, and I think I am ready to title my next blog, "One is Enough." I forget how thankful I am of my quiet and mild child, until we are have others over who aren't so quiet and not so mild!!

April 19 is a rough day

20 years ago today I miscarried a baby. I can imagine myself with a 20 year old running around. Maybe even a grandma, that is a rough thought. For years when I could not conceive I wondered if I was being punished for miscarrying my first. I was young, got pregnant in college, and was sick all the time. I had morning sickness 24 hours a day every single day, I lost a lot of weight. I was alone and I was scared. I went to bed one night feeling very ill, I woke up two days later in the hospital. I had hemarraged and been uncousious, and almost died. I miscarried in my fifth month. When I missed college some friends tried to reach me and couldn't so called my ex and he had the landlord let him in. It saved my life. I have always felt so guilty that I was just that little bit relieved that it had happened. I was so young, and on my own, and did not want a child raised the way that I had been raised. Feelings just all over the place. It hit me like a ton of bricks again w

Well I made it and I survived it

I am finally 40. Entering the prime of my life. I think it is all how you look at things. So if I look positive it will be postitive. This is the decade that is going to be about me. I had an adult decade on education, I had an adult decade on family, now I want one on me. Thanks Jenni for calling last night, I miss you and you are welcome to come back to Alberta and visit any time. I got the cutest birday card from Poncho with her original photography on it of a koala, I love it. I feel spoiled and loved and it is nice to feel that way. I got a cake sent to me at work yesterday, a balloon arrangement with a teddy bear and chocolates and some basic grey paper. A bunch of girls from SJ went together and organized it all. I feel so honoured to be counted as one of their friends. I got to talk to geminigirl (Carrie) yesterday as well, she is one of the sweetest people I know. Thanks for calling.

Back to school

Image
DD first day of grade three is today. She is very excited to be going back, and hoping she gets her dream teacher. There was a fiasco last year at the start of school and DD started with her dream teacher and then they moved her twice more and she ended up with a split teacher room. This year she hopes she gets Mrs. K, for good. I hope the school has their act together this year. She didn't want me to drive her, she didn't want me to follow the school bus, she wanted to do it on her own just like last year. She was happy to have mom wait at the bus stop with her though.
