Life on our corner

I should not be blogging now.  I should be unloading groceries or making supper, but there are no groceries in the house yet today.  Today I had my first episode of "Pregnancy Brain" for this round.  Not bad since I am 6 months into it, but it has been a morning. Jonah had class this morning and he likes to be the first one there.  I didn't mind being a little early because there was a teacher I hoped to talk to.  She wasn't there this morning, I got my times mixed up and Jonah ended up being at class 20 minutes early.  Oops!  I would have stayed and waited with him, but he is very independent about these classes and pushed me out.  So the little two and I headed out to run errands.  We waisted some time at Campbell's and then headed for Hy-Vee to get groceries.  We have a couple hours (plus 20 minutes this time!) so we were in no hurry.  We got all situated at Hy-Vee, and then I realized that I left my list in th...

My two favorite quotes of the night: Sniff...sniff...sniff..."Mommy, can you remember why I am crying?"  Audrey if you can't even remember what you are crying about this time maybe you can stop! "Mommy!"   "Mommy!"  "Mooommmy!"  I got into her room and she smiles, "Mommy aren't I doing a good job of laying in my bed quietly?"  Yes, Audrey until you started yelling for me at the top of your lungs and even though you have gotten out of bed twice to check on me, you were doing great at being quiet.

I don't have time to write a lot, but wanted to get a couple of pictures up for Nana and Gramma!  Jonah was more than ready for class this morning.  He woke Jordan up at 5:30!  I don't know if he went back to sleep or not.  I had nightmares about this event all night long including one where he was hungry and no one would let him have a snack so I feed him 2 breakfasts this morning  :)  Good thing I did because he came home starving!  He wanted to be the first one to class so we were there early. He started with PE and sat in the middle of the gym and waited for the other kids.  The report we got: PE was long and wore him out, no games, just exercise!  He has homework from his writing class. His Spanish teacher talks loud!  He had to wait his turn after Caleb to go potty He is ready to go back on Thursday.  He had no problem leaving me (I had trouble leaving him though.  I called Jordan and said I wanted to get...

It happened to me during pregnancy two and three so I am not surprised that it has happened during the fourth as well!  I get a little sentimental about my babies growing up and not being babies anymore.  There were more than a few extra kisses, hugs and "I love you"s this week.  If I keep laying the sugar on this thick until the baby comes I think that the kids are going to be sick!  I have always liked putting my babies to bed.  We have a sweet little routine, and this week I rocked and rocked Reuben.  We both loved it.  I am however trying to make him walk and hold my hand a little more often.  The bigger each of us gets the harder it is getting for me to carry him.  Not only is it getting a little awkward, but it is getting a little painful too!  I babysat a two month old this week, and it made me glad that I four months before baby.  I look back four months at how much more he can do and say and it makes me a little less ...
