Frumpy Friday

It nasty outside and I have the mood to match..MISERABLE!!! We are in the 26 th week of pregnancy and I am ready to be finished already. Everything hurts all the time and sleep has become a definite task. Connor hasnt helped much with his monster obsession that keeps him wandering all hours of the night. I had a US today and my cervix looked good and low and behold right next to my cervix was two little feet. That booger turned back around. I knew the tapdancing on my bladder wasnt all in my imagination. We have postponed our trip to Ga by a couple of weeks because of some complications with our current tenant. I have no idea what i m going to do about my drs appointment Monday morning now that Kitty is sick and wont have the little ones. Guess I'll have to try to reschedule. As much as I would have missed my little men I was looking forward to a few child free days. With the weather they are just stir crazy and its rubbing off. Connor seems to have gone backwards on potty training. Its frustrating because I know he os just being lazy he did it fine for weeks. Everytime I go to the doctor the kids ask if the baby is still alive. I wish they would get over this death obsession. Well Jimmy is crying like usual...seems to have been that way all day....

Trying to keep up..

with my updates. Things are kinda crazy right now with the trip to GA coming up and Dominic and his many activities not to mention the ten thousand drs appointments I have crammed into these two weeks. I am so ready for january becuase i feel like I live in the doctors office. I definitley have pregnancy brain and I cant remember anything anymore. Lots of you are thinking what else is new but trust me it has gotten worse. Dominic had his first sunday School class yesterday. Church bored him but they talked about the Eucharist and he was very interested in the drinking blood part. Yeah thats fun trying to explain to a 6 year old. I guess they had a song about it...I am not equipped for this..lol. We are dropping the little ones off on Sunday for our trip to GA. I have two appts on mionday one tuesday so its just easier that way. I have to tell you as much as I whine and say I need a vacation I cant stand the thought of leaving my kids. Seriously I am all upset about it. A whole week without my babies makes me wanna cry. They are my whole world and I am really glad I got my act together and I never want to be apart from then again. I really need to be cleaning right now but I am procrastinating as usual. Jimmy has starte dtaking off his diaper to pee pee on the potty as he says. Not really doing anything but he gets all excited and gets up and claps cause he sat on there. I figure gettting him used to sitting ont he potty is the first step. i hope because he sees his brothers do it everyday that he will pick up on it quickly...we'll see. We might possibly have a renter for the house in GA which would be great. I dont look forward to the clean up though. Well I better run and get something accomplished...

Wednesday

So I thought I would update everyone a little. Dominic has his first CCD class on Sunday. We have his orientation at his regular school tomorrow night to see how he has been doing this first month. I had a drs appt Monday and everything looked good except I gained 6 pounds in a month. Dr didnt like that much. We have lots of activities and appointments to get squared away in the next couple of weeks. We are leaving for Ga on the 30th because our tenant is moving out and we have to clean it out and make the big decision whether to rent it again or try to sell it in this crappy market. I think after all the recent bank and mortgage activity renting is going to be our only option not to mention we seem to have gotten a realtor that doesnt know how to use the phone. Oh well. Connor is doing well with potty training. He misses Dominic during the day and while I do miss Dominic I dont miss the combination of the two of them fighting. Dont get me wrong Connor and James have picked up the slack. James like to climb and sit on me so little does he know it he is picking on Nate already. nathan doesnt like to be sat on and he lets me know it too. My grandparents are going to California and I dont know what we are going to do without them. My dad and my mom-mom and pop-pop Brown will be keeping dominic while we are gone and Vinnys mom will be keeping the two little ones. I hope all that stays manageable and that noone negative is around my children..off tangent anyway. Dominic is starting to read. We are really working with him..okay I am really working with him and Vin backs me up when he isnt working 14 hour days driveway to driveway. I am still waiting to here about this stay at home gig and god knows we need it. Well Connor is upstairs not taking a nap which means there will be a huge mess to clean if I dont go. Wish me luck through the next week and a half of chaos and Nate just kicked the computer so I guess thats his way of saying goodbye...Later guys!!

Its a boy!!!

Well Nate is definitley a boy. He is but down right now and its obvious he likes it that way. Dominic is doing good in school. He made a new friend up the street that he enjoys playing with. Connor and James are soaking up the extra attention and mommy is trying to enjoy just having two during the day because it wont be lasting long. I am trying to get a work from hom job so hopefully that will go through soon. We are probably coming to GA the beginning of October because our current tenant is moving out. Clean up again JOY JOY!! Dominic is about to loose his front tooth but he wont let me pull it. He has to try to eat around it but he says its fine like that. Vinny is looking at a career change which will hopefully work out soon. I have another US on the 12th and a doctors appointment on the 15th. Vinny has to learn to give me shots..lord help me but if it keeps Nate safe its well worth it. We are 22 weeks pregnant now so we are over halfway there. I keep telling hte boys they are getting a baby brother for Christmas and Connor thinks that is the coolest thing ever. I wish Santa just dropped him off..haha. Well I am going to run. Hope everyone had a great holiday weekend and I hope evryones week is going a little more smoothly then mine...
