Sorry for the long wait.....

Sorry I havn't posted in forever. I had my beautiful boy on June 24th. He's doing so well, and he's so big!! My daughter is still adjusting, she has good days and bad.

I've been trying to read "Missing Speed Jr" if anyone knows how I can be invited to read her blog. I've been reading hers for a while, once in a while I posted there.

I'm working part-time now, and loving it. I wished I'd gone part time after my daughter was born - but better late than never I guess. She'll probably be in pre-K next fall, so we have some time together until then.

Hope all is well with everyone.

Really bad blogger

Well, it's taken me about 15 minutes to retrieve my password and figure out how to get back in here......I had switched to the google account last time - and couldn't remember even my username. Ughhh.

I can't believe I havn't posted since March - I knew it had been a while, things have been so busy. I have been checking on the few blogs I read - glad to hear everyone is doing well.

Well, I'm 36 weeks today. The little guy is measuring about 3 weeks ahead though!! Yikes! Big baby! We'll see how long I can hold out. My daughters bday is tomorrow though. I've just been praying to hold out until after that.

Otherwise things are going well. We've been so busy getting ready, buying new boys clothes. I packed away all of my son's stuff - don't think I could have used them again.

The crib is in our room for now. My daughter is excited about her baby brother - finally. It's taken a while, I just hope she's ok when he's here. I worry about her being jealous. She's such the center of our world right now. Hubby keeps telling me she'll be ok. She's been doing well. Potty training is going great, just an accident here or there, but otherwise almost trained.

Well, better go before she gets up - we're heading out to pick up some last minute things for her party tomorrow.

Hopefully I can keep up the blog more, as I'll be going part time after this baby is here. Yeahhh!!! I'm excited, though I may have to change jobs at work, my boss is still deciding. She's great though - told me she'd work with me to do what's best.

Take care, talk with you soon!

Is it Spring yet??

I am definitely ready for spring! Just when I thought it was going to start getting warmer out, we end up with 7 inches of snow on Friday! Oh well, it should all melt quickly.

I think I'm about done buying baby clothes for the new little one. Still have a few odds and ends to get. We have to get a new crib mattress...and need to sit the crib up, but have some rearranging to do first. My daughter is really warming up to the idea of a baby brother. I hope she does well with him. She is so spoiled I do worry about how she'll be when he is here.

We have to put carpet down in our former computer room...to make a playroom. Because the kids will be sharing a room for now..I need to move some of the toys from my daughters room to the "playroom". Though the baby will be in our room with us for a while....so I need to get rid of one of my dressers.

I feel like theres so much to do...but I'm sure it will be ok. I just keep praying for a healthy son. I cannot imagine having to go though what we did before. I think I'd have to be locked up in a mental hospital.

Well, I may try and nap while my daughter is napping. Probably nod off during my soaps!! Hope everyone is well.

Having fun buying clothes

Well, I bought some more little boy clothes this weekend. And my dd and I went shopping this am and got a few outfits as well. She's warming up to the idea of her little brother, though there are still some things she says she won't share. I have to admit, when I'm buying the clothes, I picture how my son would look in them, he's so handsome. I miss him so much.

I even bought an outfit with little frogs on. My son had so many little froggie things. Hubby and I are still up in the air over a name - we have one we will probably go with. We both like it...I'm still thinking of others.

Had an appt on Friday, all seems well. I go back the end of the Month. I still have to talk to my boss about my work schedule. I'll be going part time after the baby. I'm looking forward to having more time with my dd. Feel like I've missed out alot on her first few years, but I hope she'll forgive me. She's napping now. It's a late day nap as we didn't get home until after lunch. Hopefully she wakes up soon.....I'd like to get her bath done before supper. I think I have a little ocd about schedules. I like to have things done at a certain time. That may fly out the window when the next baby gets here.

Take care!

a baby boy

Well, about 2 weeks ago we found out we were expecting a baby boy! I am excited. My husband is more nervous now than before. I think in his mind, a baby boy = sick baby, and a baby girl = healthy baby. I hope that's not the case. I've started to buy a few outfits already. I put Baby Dan's clothes away, don't think I could see another baby in them. I do have some hesitations about the baby being a boy, but I'm sure when he is here they'll be fine. I've had a problem with baby boys ....understandably I suppose. Sometimes I can't even look at them. When we were shopping at toy's r us last week, looking for baby outfits, I saw one that said Daddy's little boy, I immediately hung it back up and froze. Daddy's little boy is suppose to be Baby Dan....My hubby asked me once while we were shopping if I was ok, I said yes. I am hopeful and optimistic....I hope I'm not setting myself up for another heartbreak....but I honestly feel like everything is ok.

My daughter is funny....but keeps saying "Don't let baby brother take my horses!"...and all of her other toys. I hope she's not to jealous. I played hooky today from work, snow/ice in the weather. Looks like it may get a little bad tonight. May have to miss work tomorrow to, oh darn!

Well, better get supper going, hubby will be home soon...hopefully he doesn't slide in the driveway. Sorry it took me so long to post. I only post on my Monday's off...and the last one off my hubby played hooky.

Hope everyone is doing well, I've been reading and keeping up on everyone's blogs.
Take care!!

Sorry for the delay...

I can't believe it's been since October that I've been able to post anything. I've been keeping up with the blogs I read though. My work schedule was a little screwy around the holidays...And since my hubby doesn't know I have a blog I couldn't post because he was home also. My daughter is playing so good right now, so thought I would take a few minutes to blog. Christmas went well.....I had my few breakdowns, especially when we went to the cemetery. We had a Christmas tree and pretty decorations for my son. I think he would have liked them. It's just so hard to go through everything...Visits to my Mom's...Opening presents, everything....And not wonder what things would be like with him here. And to constantly feel that he was cheated out of everything. My daughter definitely helps...She is such a joy.

Well....I am about 14-15 weeks pg now. I find out the first week in February what we are having. I just keep praying for a healthy baby. I hope I didn't make a mistake wanting another baby. I don't think any of us could go through what we did the first time.

We are due 7/6. My daughters due date was 7/6...She was 4 weeks early though. And my son's bd is 7/5.

I'm going to be going part time at work soon. My Mom will watch both my daughter and the new baby if it's only 2 days a week. So, hopefully I can transfer to a part time job without losing too much money. I look forward to having more days at home. I feel like I missed alot with my daughter not being here every day for her. But we'll have time to enjoy before she starts school...That's another 2 years. Haven't said a lot to her about the new baby. She's so spoiled I'm not sure how she'll take it. She's not spoiled in a bad way.

Well, guess I better get her to take a nap. Hope everyone is doing well. Thinking of all of you.
