about a month later and Skyla has introduced herself to her siblings already... well Kinda..Last Saturday me and girls our laying in my bed and Skyla begins Kicking/punching.... I say Sondra watch this!! Look right here...and sure enough..Sondra yelps! and then goes ehh that is weird...she really is in there... lol ..yes Sondra...Mommy really does have a baby in her belly... I think Shania believes it more. Its like Shania looks at me like Mommy..but my belly is the baby like a whole second part. Give Mommy kisses for bed my girl..No BABY! AND she pulls up my shirt and hugs and kisses till I manage to pull her up to me! Also- she has taken a real liking to her Dad...like she has even ignored me when Daddy gets around...which I told Jake to get ready in a few months she will be up your butt for real! which in part makes me smile..its sweet to see her cuddle with her Dad in his chair..she'll get his blanket and bring it to him and cuddle.. and Stuart was able to feel Skyla move around in my belly too... the look on his face was priceless .....lol... he said it's alive!!!!!
This pregnancy this time around is tiring...I'm never one to wuss out..but man... I'm sincerely ready for June 1st. Or hopefully maybe she decides to come in May which wouldn't surprise me...and selfishly I'd love my mothers ring someday to have more than just 2 colors since Sondra & Stu are June Babies and Shania is a February baby. :) Now if June was Diamonds it would be a different thing though. lol... anyways... since finding out Skyla is Skyla..I just want my baby. I feel like everyone around has their Baby!...and then on the other hand I look at Shania... and soak up these days of her being my baby...I feel a bit guilty that I gave my other 2 a full 3 years of being the baby. I still pick up Stu when he asks..(well not since I got big)....but I explained to Jake I just don't know when the last time will be so I just do it even though I know he is 5 almost 6 years old...I'm going to do it till I can't!..I can't remember the last time I pick Sondra up...makes me sad..so I look at Shania..try to make experiences that we will "remember" or take pictures of before this baby gets here.... one I'm really excited about... Sesame Street is going to the civic center and we are getting tickets to take Shania!... aahh..I can't wait to see her excitement..her Dancing..can't wait... I'm going to try and get to the zoo too before this baby gets here! The kids get out of school the May 27 I'm going to try to get to the zoo before Skyla comes the 1st. :)
What else.. the women's retreat is this weekend..which I cannot wait for!!!!! I'm excited to have a weekend with the gals and solely worry and take care of myself spiritual, emotionally, and physically. Seriously- ready for this! its always a great time to be with the women of our church...the retreat theme is the fruit of the spirit and an awesome speaker is coming and we are doing one of those Paint sessions AMA is coming in to teach us..and there is crafts ect..I'm anxious for Saturday.
Monday and Tuesday...man the weather was awesome!...I can't wait till that is a constant..it was so fun playing outside taking walks getting my "steps" in...nothing is worse watching TV standing in place walking..just isn't the same... :S I'm ready to pick up cloth diapering again... I stopped when I couldn't hang my clothes on the line...so I'm ready to start that again too!!! WELL I'm hoping Shania gets really serious about potty training too.. I've I was harder or more structured she probably would be... lol.. I"m not sure how much to push it with Skyla's arrival impending... oh and I'm a bad mom she still has her binks too...eeehhh... I don't look forward to taking those... after the baby..by 2 1/2 well maybe by September is the deadline...Sondra was over 2.5..right before Stuart arrived...we may be having another "binky" party... lol... oh well..the memories :)....
Another funny..this summer should be my class reunion of 10 years...jeeze...seems crazy...I'm hoping its far enough away from Skyla's due date..but ya know..depending on my confidence I may just go even if its a couple weeks after her birth.. eh.... I like seeing friends I haven't seen in ages :)... me and my BF said we would be skinny for our 5..then we revised it for our 10...well damn... I guess it will be for our 15 (do they do 15) or 20... I'll eventually get there :) after all this baby cooking though!...
welp I'll see you guys later...
PS Pray for me and my own..we always need it :)... pray for the AE community
Love,
Me
