Wow, hard to believe it's been almost a year since I've updated my blog. I'm guessing I was side tracked. It's been a different kind of year. A year of growing, becoming secluded (I do this EVERY TIME I am pregnant), letting go, realizing what is important in my life, watching Andrew & Jenna grow, heartache, and great joys. We've lost family members and gained a few. At this moment we are getting ready for Baby C's arrival in just about 3 weeks. Andrew has grown up. He has had many accomplishments in school and was also named one of Henderson's best students for the past nine weeks. (BIG DEAL FOR US) Andrew was diagnosed with Asperger's, which is an Autism Spectrum disorder. We are learning things about Andrew and why he does "certain"things at certain times. This diagnoses has allowed me to understand my child and give him much more patience than before. Jenna is walking, running, talking and just growing up so fast. We lost my great uncle orval and my pop has been diagnosed with liver cancer. My days have been filled with work and children and I've not had much time to do anything else. I've never had a schedule like this before in my life, but I wouldn't trade it for the world. I took Andrew to New Orleans for Spring Break.. much needed time for us without any babies around. I think he enjoyed the trip. With Asperger's he thinks he should have the same routine year after year, so of course he thought we should have been at the beach...
Getting ready for baby #3 has been so different than before. I had all new things with Andrew & Jenna and now I am so thankful I have things I saved from Jenna that Baby C can use. It has saved us tons of money. It's just remembering "where" I have stored the things and washing them up that has consumed most of my time. I have the car seat washed and bassinet ready to go. Just have to wash the swing and the other bassinet. Many things to complete before she gets here. I do have all of her clothes washed and ready.. big accomplishment for me!
Hopefully, it won't take me another year to update my blog. I have really missed reading my real friends blogs and the pretend friends (people I don't know) and catching up on their life. One of the blogs that I follow just had a baby. I missed her whole pregnancy. Kinda weird I feel guilty about missing something from someones life that I don't know.. but I kinda do.
It's so good to see a blog update from you. :-)
