It's been like total ages since I was on here last! But I have decided that I need to pick up my feet and get bloggin again since I have like a whole bunch of family over seas.
So what has been happening??
Ummm... We are expecting again... in a few days I hope! I went to the doctor on Thurday and he said that my belly had dropped and that I should get ready for any time now. But this is a baby we are talking about so what is the likely hood of her doing what we want?? Ummm??? Like a million to one!! Oh - By the way she is a she! Another little girl! YAY!
Kaleb thinks that it's exciting and this morning was lying on my tummy trying to get close to her. Caitlin on the other hand thinks that she has to fight the little SheBean for her place in the family! It has been very hard on Caitlin. She has no idea what is going on or what to expect when SheBean gets here (where as Kaleb has an idea - having had a sister before). I think that she is very scared that she will get sharfted... No chance in that - she is such a strong willed little girl!
We are all organized for the arrival and I'm more than excited - though my excitement is turning quickly to anxiety. SheBean is due on the 2nd of July... Not far away but sill a long way off!! I am tired and sore and have just had enough...It is now just a waiting game. The children are starting to feel my anxiety and they are being little brats! Teasing one another and not doing as they are told. I can no longer take them out shopping either. Caitlin runs from me and says "Hahahaha! You can't get me!" coz I honestly can't catch her! Both children are pushing EVERY single button! And I'm so high on hormones that it's like I have turned into this ugly green monster! GERRR!!
Other than that??? Oh! We have finally moved into our new home! Joe is outside washing the windows and walls and getting rid of cobwebs and that nasty dog/wee smell that the house reaked of when we first came here. He is very proud of this house and so he should be! He and his dad have worked wonders on the inside and in the yard! Everything looks so lovely and to be honest I'm glad that we moved even though it was cutting it close to the arrival of the baby. We still have alot of things to finish off outside but all of that can be done in time and we don't need to rush it. I think that the main positive of this house is NO MICE! What a big bonus! Not just that there are no bugs at all either!
I am so relieved... those were some of the things that were really contributing to my anxiety and depression. That of which is coming under control now too. I'm doing a whole lot better and I am not even on any medication! I had to come off it for that baby's sake. I have dicovered the things that trigger my anxiety and depression and now know how to mangage them with stratagies and distractions. All in all I think that I'm doing the best that I've done in many long years. Even with all of the pressures that our little family has faced!
I can't hear the children any more?? I wonder where they have gotten to or what they have gotten into! Better be off! Toodles!
I have just been chastised! Joe saw the blog and asked if I was ashamed of him coz there were not enough pictures of him!! What a thing to ask! So here are some pictures just for you dear!
