Barefoot and Pregnant

So, knowing I'm pregnant again is taking some getting used to. I really thought we were finished. Of course, I was using no type of contraceptive or anything. I just had the feeling we were done. So color me surprised when the little test told me the opposite. 3 Kids!!! I don't think I'm ready. I do like the age gaps though. They will all grow up together and leave home one after the other.

Danae is excited but says she only wants a sister. She doesn't need any more brothers. I've been trying to explain that I have no say in the matter. But like most kids, she thinks her parents can do anything including decide the baby's gender. I told her to pray about it.

I don't mind having another kid but I don't really feel like being pregnant again or going through another delivery. However, I feel really blessed to be able to experience parenthood again, especially since 6 years ago I was told I was infertile. I'm just not ready to look like this.

Congratulations!!!! How far along are you? Be careful what you say you may end up getting Danae a pet? I really wanted a brother and told my parents as much. I kept telling them even after they tried to pass me the hint that I was having a sister. I kept telling them no. So when I saw my little sister, looked at her told my parents I asked for a boy and that they needed to take her back. I was quite distressed to find out it didn't work that way so alas they ended up getting me a cat as a consolation prize. The good news is I love my sister and wouldn't trade her for a brother.
Anyway babies will keep me employed and yours will be teenagers by the time I'm done which is what I want.

Motherhood

Yesterday, I had something to do so the kids went to their old sitter's house for a few hours. We got home later than intended so I knew I would be rushing to prepare dinner, get them bathed, and settled for the night. Here's what really happened. As soon as we entered the house, Brayden started running around saying "Mommy, I have to pee". So we rush into the bathroom and as soon as his pants are unbuttoned, he starts peeing on himself. I clean him up and decide they can play in the tub while I start preparing dinner. As soon as we get to the kitchen, Danica throws up all over me, herself, and the floor. So, I take her to our bathroom and bathe her. Before I can get her pj's buttoned up, Brayden starts screaming "I have to pee!" Because he just went all over the bathroom floor, I'm a little perplexed. I run to their bathroom anyway only to find out he didn't have to pee, he had to poop and had already dropped two bombs in the bathtub where his s...

In Memory...

Staff Sergeant Javares Washington was killed in Kuwait. He was my cousin. My cousin died yesterday...in Kuwait...and I'm so very sad. I feel like I can't breathe. My heart is broken. We grew up like siblings. His mom had him at a very young age. She wasn't ready to take care of him. So, he lived with us for years. He was like my brother. And now, I'm in shock. I'm going to miss him so much. The military has only said he was in a government vehicle on patrol and it flipped over. We don't know what caused the flip or anything. I want to go home. He was married and had two children. His son, Jayden, is 6 years old and looks just like him. His daughter, Tristin, is 9 months old. My heart is broken.

Love at First Sight

I am absolutely in love with this little girl. Danica was born with a heart murmur but we found out today it's no longer there. We are so happy with this little perfect being and can't wait to get to know her more.
