Okay so I’m updating Christmas and the latest and greatest all at the same time… what can I say…
Okay so things have been going really fast around here and then in other areas… not fast enough… speaking in baby speak that is.
So we had a little scare yesterday. Last night as I was driving home from work I was thinking about baby Peanut and I was trying to remember the times that I really felt him kick and to be honest with you I couldn’t really remember and this baby I swear is half rabbit and I feel him all day… so I thought that I should call the doctor and ask them advise because I hadn’t really felt him and I had a contraction and thought “hum that’s kind of interesting” So I called and asked them what I should do and they suggested that I come in and get checked just to make sure that baby was okay. So I did. A little over an hour later and being hooked up to the machines baby was fine… he started to really kick as soon as they put the monitor on there… and the nurse goes “you know it never fails this happens but she said it’s always better to check” So we went home… Maya thought the baby was coming home and so we tried to tell her that the baby wasn’t coming we were just checking to make sure everything was fine but she was jumping around and such… it was so cute… it was kind of heart breaking to tell her he wasn’t coming home yet… so at least we know that she’s excited. Lehna wanted to come along with us and we told her that she couldn’t come after a few minutes she was okay.
So baby was fine. I am supposed to start going to weekly appointments this week so I’m pretty excited about that actually b/c that means its CLOSE! I’m pretty ready for Peanut to get here I’m super excited to bring him home and hold him and do all the baby things that you do. I know its right around the corner and I should really enjoy the time that I have with just the girls but it’s hard not to really be excited. We have decided that we are done after Peanut. Tait will have his baby boy and well I’ll be done with babies… I will be ready to do other things and put babies behind us.
I’m really excited about having 2 months off of work. I really am excited about that for as sad as that is. Work is a lot of pressure and it will be a relief to just relax and enjoy my time with our baby and the kids. Not that I want to quit my job and be a stay at home mom I’m just excited about being able to relax and enjoy my time when I can, but I’m certain that I’ll be ready to go back. I love kid time but I also love adult work time too… so I’m totally okay going back to work.
As far as work goes it’s going. I want more clients and so does my boss I have a lot of pressure to perform and get where we need to go… so we are moving in that direction just really slowly… I wish it would go faster and when we have clients that fall off b/c they get hired on makes it frustrating for all involved. But my team and I are working on getting more and that’s all we can do right? My boss believes in high pressure to get you to perform which I have to say works and then it doesn’t all at the same item. He is very successful so it does have its measures but still sucks when you aren’t performing where he THINKS you should be… he told me today that the hammer is going to come down… I don’t know what that means b/c I feel like I have enough pressure to perform so I’m hoping that maybe him just “saying” that is enough. I don’t want to end up with an aneurism! Anyway work stuff is boring.
The girls are just growing and growing so much it’s just so cool to watch them change and grow. Maya the other day was talking and I was like “wow she really is growing up” just by the way she was talking. She isn’t going to be the baby any more so we are enjoying her right now.
Lehna is in Kindergarten and let me tell you she is doing really well as far as development she is still above the curve which is good. We are still working on making sure she stays ahead… but you know she will slow down. We are working on reading right now and she was reading the Biscuit books (boring let me tell you) and she was able to read pretty much all of the articles but the other words we are still working on she could guess some of them just by what was going on in the pictures so we don’t want her to develop that habit b/c eventually the pictures WILL go away.
Maya will start 4 year old kindergarten next year which I know she will really enjoy b/c she keeps talking about going to school and her friends so I know she’s craving kids to play with. She does play with the kids at church so she does have some interaction just not as much as Lehna did at her age. So hopefully Maya won’t be too far behind when she goes to school.
Well I wanted to include some pictures of our latest sledding trip. I watched as they sledded but it was fun. So enjoy some pictures! I will update soon… hopefully before Peanut comes… but you know… it’s hard to say…
