Ok, so I haven't blogged all summer. Maybe due to the fact that my blog always seems to be weird and do strange things and I don't have the patience to deal with it. We also lost our camera around the time that Maci got baptized. So I'm without a camera and hate it! But what can you do? I guess I'll just have to write about what's going on in our life right now instead of having pictures of it.
Kids
Between soccer, piano, scouts, activity days, Dr. & Dental appointments and just normal life... life is busy. The kids are all back in school and loving it! They love their teachers, love learning, and love their friends! Elijah is the only one that didn't go back to preschool. We did a co-op last year, but with the baby coming, there was no way I could commit to that. So his speech therapy class once a week is just going to have to do for now.
Pregnancy
I am due in 6 weeks! HALLELUJAH!! This pregnancy has been good, yet crazy! There are days that I have contractions 20 mins. apart and they don't go away for like 24 hours. Of course they don't hurt, just uncomfortable and when I have them, I have to try to lay down and rest a little. We don't want a preemie! My sciatic nerve is off and on too. Somedays it doesn't bother me, other days I can't move! And my blood pressure has been great.... but had a low blood pressure day last week and was bed ridden because of it. Despite all the weirdness of this pregnancy, I just still try to keep on going. I have to pick and choose what to do. So feeding and clothing the kids is my #1 priority. The house doesn't get touched until I'm feeling decent, and by that time, it's a disaster. Oh well! Just all part of the pregnancy game! One that is definitely hard, yet so rewarding in the end!
Jason
Jason just got released from his calling(job) at church. He was working with the youth, but is now teaching the 10/11 yr. olds in primary. He loved working with the youth, but never got too due to his work schedule. So it's nice that he has a calling he can actually fulfill now. His work schedule is 5-7 nights a week, 8-12 hour shifts. And he's working in Galt, which is a 60-90 min. commute one way. So since he's working all the time, the kids and I are on our own. So when I'm down.... I have to rely on Maci to help out with the younger kids. This time of year Jason is pretty much a zombie. Which is totally understandable. We'll go weeks without really seeing each other or talking to each other. And that's just part of the job this time of year. Once winter comes, he's around way more and works a lot from home. We're very thankful for that and his job!
Health
Since I've felt absolutely exhausted lately, my mind is mush. Last night around midnight, I heard Ezra coughing and it sounded like he was throwing up. I was sooooo tired that I couldn't even open my eyes and get up. I know, I'm a bad mom. But I figured if he wasn't crying, he was fine. Awhile later I heard the same thing, but once again could not get up for anything! Jason was wide awake downstairs and I couldn't even call for him. Ezra just fell back to sleep and so did I. Around 2:30am, Jason came upstairs loudly and announced that he could smell throw up. He checked on Ezra and sure enough, he had thrown up everywhere in the crib! He instantly took action and put him in the tub and cleaned him up. I slowly got up and waddled to the crib to clean it up. We got it all taken care of and went back to bed. An hour later, I woke up again to the sound of someone else throwing up. It was Jason this time! And then I heard Isaiah. Sooo.... it looks like we have some sort of bug in our household. Hopefully no one else will get it. I am glad that I had to cancel all of my appointments today. Because I'm just exhausted! I felt so bad though because Jason was upstairs dying and asked me to go to Walgreens and get him something. I was so out of it that I didn't even think about getting 7up, pedialyte, and saltines to help calm their stomachs. Usually I'm on top of that.... but not this time around. Oh well. It's all good and we're fine. Just tired!
Well, that's all I have for now. I guess I better go feed the healthy kids and check on the sick ones and then lay down and take a nap. Today is definitely one of those days that the TV is going to be babysitting the kids.
