Update on dominic and School

Dominic started school on Monday and he seems to be doing well so far. He made friends with a little boy at his bus stop or should I say I forced him to talk and then the natural boy force took over and they were playing in no time. Connor has fun with his 2 year old sister at the bus stop too. He has had homework every nigth an dI am not sure how he feels about that I mean he doesnt get home till 415 and then he has more work to do. I know he needs to do this stuff but I just dont know when to do it right away when he gets home or let him rest and wind down and then do it. He is just so exhausted when he gets home. Of course I want him to do it and get it out of the way but I want him to do it without getting completely frustrated like last night. We have an ultrasound scheduled on Friday at 1030. Vinny cant work the day out so my grandmother is going to go with me. We will get reconfirmation of boy parts if he cooperates and it will be neat to see how much he has grown. Dominic is officially signed up for religous education (CCD) on Sundays. Its like Sunday school he goes after church. We spent the morning at my grandmothers and the two little ones had a blast. Dominic has a four day weekend so we are probably going to my cousins party and my dads parents for her pork sandwiches I love soooo much. Hopefully we will be keeping busy. Well I hope everyone is having a good hump day although it seems like everyone I have talked to so far is having a blah Wednesday. I am going to go get my dinner stuff in order since Vin is working late...Later

Dominics last swimming lesson....

Monday Morning

So yesterday we put up curtains in the living room which we are quite happy with. We took the boys to the pool and it was freezing due to the week of no airconditioning we had. The kids were a little dissapointed they thought they were going to Grannys but she wasnt feeling well. The kids dont like when they think people are sick. The kids are becoming more interactive with the baby. They talk to him and give him kisses and are still calling him HER. I keep telling them its all daddys fault so to talk to him about it..hahaha. I have come to terms that I get to be the queen of my castle this way and I have three mommas boys already so adding one more is definitley not a bad thing. Hopefully one of my sisters will have girls so I will have nieces to spoil. They are too young right now but I can wait. I stopped taking that horrible UTI medicine and I am starting to feel better. Still tired and moving into that uncomfortable off balance part of pregnancy. We have an appointment thursday. Connors going to see the train with my grandparents and going to Dutch Wonderland. Dominics orientation and swim lesson is Wednesday so we have a busy week in front of us. Well I am a little drained from this drama we call life so I am going to run. I want to move to a little island and just live the simple life. All this thinking and wondering while trying to make the best of my own family gives me a headache. I love my extended family but what matters most is my husband and little boys they are my family and making sure that works is the most important thing to me. I just hope everyone can understand that.....Hope everyone has a good Monday

Friday, friday, friday

So lets see Vin has sbeen off for two days now. Yesterday was spent restocking the house and with a sick me because of the meds they put me on for a UTI that I didnt even know I had. So last night I was up till 1am with stomach pain. Thought it would go away so I took my second pill this morning well obviously I am allergic to sulfur drugs because i immediatley felt sleepy but I pushed through and went to walmart well suddenly I realized that mhy peripheral vision was gone and then my sight in my right eye. had to take migraine meds and spent the rest of the afternoon loosing feeling in my hands and arms and lips and tongue and throat. Talk about scary. I am calling it the Nazi drug and I will never take it again. It was HORRIBLE. On a broghter note my grandparents took us for dinner in Maryland and they had great steak and seafood. Thank god by then I felt better. It was great to have some adult time and the food and conversation was wonderful. The boys stayed home with Haley and Ellie. The kids had a day of bisbehaving so I hope tomorrow will be a little smoother. Dominic goes back to school soon and he is really doing well with his swimming lessons. Vin is working tomorrow. A friend from high school is prengant with her second child and I am sooo happy for her. On my due date board 30 of us are having boys and 5 are having girls..what are the odds of that. I keep opening post after post if it a ...BOY...lol. Our next doctors appointment is the 21st...hope you all have a good weekend...!!!

Long overdue

Sooo.... We had a great time at my uncles pool party. Ther firsy day dominic stayed in the pool for 5 hours and only got out to eat pizza and when I made him get out because he was turning blue. The next day was the party and he had a blast. He made friends with a little girl named Sydney and they played in the pool for a long time and then he got out and played baseball which he loved. He had a blast with his cousin Morgan and she really tried to teach him about swimming..she is a little fish!! We came back Sunday and did the boring spaghetti dinner but we all needed the rest. The two little ones played in the baby pool at vins moms and both came back very happy. Connor tried to invite himself back over again today. Cant say I have any objections to someone else entertaining my little guy. He misses seeing them more now that we moved. Dominic wanted to go see them on Sunday and ride back with his daddy but he only wanted to go if I went because he said he would miss me if I didnt go. Such a sweetie but I really wish he could have gotten a visit in. I had some spotting Tuesday and had an ultrasound and it looks like we are having boy number 4. I really thought this was going to be a girl but I will take healthy either way. I have a feeling Nate will probably come into the world in December because he is already measuring big. My next appointment is the 21st. I'll upload the ultrasound photos and upload them asap. We got a great pic of his feet. Well its time to feed the kids lunch. they wanted hotdogs again. I think they are going to turn into hotdogs!! Dominic starts school the 25th so I am sure we will be busy with that and we have a 70th birthday part for my grandmother coming up not this weekend but next. I think thats about it..Later everyone!!
