Random Thoughts

I was so tired last night that I crashed on the sofa and fell into a deep sleep. So deep, in fact, that I didn't even hear my kids running around, playing, and screaming right in front of my face. It was so deep that I didn't hear them trying to wake me up for our nightly worship. Dwayne said he told them to leave me alone because I was obviously very tired. I guess I really needed that because I feel great today.

I was reading an article today about Obama and his smoking habit. That is really not attractive. Even though I have family members who smoke, it's the one thing that is a complete turnoff for me.

The closer I get to the end of my pregnancy, the more anxious I feel. Why? Labor pains. That's something you can never get ready for. The good thing is that I feel this one will be very fast. Danae came in 4 1/2 hours, Brayden came in 2 hours, this one should come in about 30 minutes or less. At least that's what I'm hoping. I'm still going without the epidural though. Delivering Brayden hurt very badly; I thought I would be paralyzed at the end. As long as the pain is not worse than that, I can deal.

My doctor is really trying to persuade me to rethink getting a tubal ligation. I don't think so. 3 is a good number!

I have done almost NO christmas shopping. Only Danae and Brayden's stuff has been bought and stored away. I don't even know what I'm getting for Dwayne and I still have to buy for my nieces, nephews, godsons, and other friends.

I just realized I only have godsons, no goddaughters.

I am so grateful for uneventful pregnancies so far. The only issue I ever had was low blood pressure. But, no morning sickness, no bed rest, no preeclampsia, no anything else. With the first two, I worked until they were born. My last day at work was Thursday and they were both born on Friday mornings. That's something to be thankful for.

I wonder if this baby will be born on a Friday too. I hope so. I expect her to come on February 14 or 16 even though she's due Feb 24th. Wanna know why? Okay, no problem. A family that we're kind of close to has 3 kids also: two girls and a boy. Their son's birthday is Jan 20th and Danae's is Jan 21st. Their daughter's birthday is Sept 16th and Brayden's is Sept 15th. Their other daughter's birthday is Feb 15th which has given my my daughter's expected date of arrival.

Alright, I got stuff to do. Toodles!

Glad you got some rest. And I don't like the smoking thing either.

Well, I hope she is born on February 19th because that's my b-day!

And I hate smoking too!

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.
