Evan's always acted like that. I considered counseling and looked into ADHD around his birthday last year. We'll see what happens when school starts in Aug, that should be interesting.

Evan saw the eye dr too, but he'd seen that chart before so remembered the phone, lol. He's nearsighted and will probably need glasses in the next few years. He goes back in a year but we have to watch for squinting etc till then.

Thanks for the welcome and the good thoughts. Clara's always been a live wire and very physically active; it's only lately that she seems to fling herself around without regard for who or what may be in the way. And to be honest, there's a lot going on in our lives the last few months - new baby, finally completing her pottying skills, selling our house, her bff is moving away and has been pulling away (a little)...

Hmmmm.....when I write it all out, it's no wonder she's acting out a bit! That and just being 4.

On the plus side, I got a call this morning from a PreK program I'd hoped to start in the fall. They've an opening for her! It's a lovely place - reggio-based and very well-established.

I finaly have a second to actually post. I am so tired I can hardly stand it. I have actually fallen asleep sitting up a few time

My m/s has calmed down a lot thank goodness but is not exactly gone. I have gained 10 lbs so far which is pretty good for me b/c with Iris I got huge really fast. I look pregnant and can feel the baby moving so that's all nice. I have a lot of challenging symptoms-I know it is not a popular thing to admit but I really hate being pregnant and can not wait to meet this baby and be done. I hired a midwife that I really feel great about and am so excited about having a homebirth. The only down side is that we will be really broke for the rest of my preganacy in order to pay her by 38 weeks but I know in the end it will be worth it.

Iris is doing very well a lot of our issues seemed to have become easier to manage. She is enjoying the pool. She loves to swim and we go every day.

I agree with Jaclyn that MDC has really gone down hill but I hope people we'll continue to stay in touch

Oh, Past, that is so so so cute!!! I love that he is out there with all those girls and just having a good time.

J are you on Facebook?

[rozzie'sma]

Just popping in, I don't have net access at home until next month when I get my student loan check. We are broke right now. Zann came through his open heart back in june with flying colors. Roz is missing school, she can't wait to go back, her new school is part of a massive catholic church, she calls it the castle.

Hi ladies,

I'm still around some. mostly because of my new news, which should be in my signature if my new signature shows up.

We're having a summer, the first time the girls and I have been full time at home together in over a year, it's something, I'll tell you. I'm looking forward to preschool starting up again.

I'll post this now and see if my siggy works...And I'm not telling yet, FB friends. We'll tell next month when we know this is going to happen. After the last one, I'm not anxious to repeat having to untell (and still having people ask me about the baby).

[nannymom]

oh KM- congratulations!!!!!

[rozzie'sma]

Congrats!!!!!!!!!

[Jenelle]

Glad to hear good news about Zann. Congrats KM!

This is the first time I have even been to MDC in like 3 weeks I think. We went to see dh's family all over the country in my parents' RV. Kids had fun, I had fun... Dh didn't really enjoy driving the RV in the windy, windy states, but we made it home safe & that's all I can ask for I guess! We took along my 16-year-old niece to help out with the boys, and that was very nice to have the extra hands & eyes and a willing helper.

Eli (knock on wood) actually seems to be getting easier. He is growing up, maturing before my very eyes. It is a VERY welcome change.

[nannymom]

Hi ladies I just wanted to come share that I had my ultrasound today and the baby is a boy!:: I am very very happy.

[KoalaMommy]

: Yay, a boy, how wonderful for you!

Thanks for all the congrats. I feel kind of funny right now. It seems like everyone I know has either just had a baby or is pregnant right now, and I'm stalking minor acquaintances on FB who are pregnant, but I can't tell anyone. I feel like such a dork.

But at the same time, the US I had showed the baby to be younger than when I lost the one in the fall, so I'm not totally comfortable that this baby is here to stay until next visit. So I'm just weirdo FB friend until then The worst part is, I didn't feel not pregnant last time until after the D&C, so nothing can convince me to feel ok about this one.

And DH is being a dweeb. He doesn't see why I need childbirth preparation when I've birthed 2 babies. But I feel like I wasn't prepared in either case and I had drugs for both and so I want to do preparation that will help me have a NATURAL birth. I've settled on Hypnobabies because 1) the home study course is the least expensive option and 2) I really think it will work and it seems actually much closer to me to what Lamaze taught in France as opposed to what Lamaze is here in the US. But he's freaking out over the cost. I tried to point out that I wanted to do Bradley method but the classes cost more than $100 more than the hypnobabies. He doesn't get that there's any difference at all between the methods. Sometimes I hate men!

[nannymom]

Km- I did hypnobabies with Iris' birth and it really helped me. It will be worth every penny.

[KoalaMommy]

Well, I'm happy to report DH has seen the error of his ways, and has apologized, even correctly identifying himself as pigheaded.

[rozzie'sma]

I am glad he has seen the light.

Less than two weeks until my wedding. I cannot believe how quickly it has come. I will post pics once I get them back.

And YEahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh congrats on the lil boy. I love it when I can be happy about someone having a little boy and not get the wave of sadness over me.

[nannymom]

Can't wait to see wedding pics. I hope you're not too stressed out with last minute planning

[rozzie'sma]

Hey I just noticed Kristi is due on my birthday!

I am very stressed. I am goinf to have 9 people in my 2 bedroom home. My Rev is divorcing and she's freaking out on me. She didn't even get paid for her last wedding cause she arrived last minute, forgot their vows, and their candle ceremony. I fired the photographer because she was not returning calls and missed 6 appointments with me. At least my dress fits, but now it's at the cleaners because my MIL2B's dog got something black down the front of it. It is coming back the DAY before my wedding. Oh and did I mention I am doing my own catering. WTH was I thinking?

But on the counting my blessings side Gabe's car is finally fixed after two months. Oh and thank goodness that Roz is only in pre-K cause I just priced the school uniforms she is required to have next year and the jumpers are $38 each. Her gym outfits are almost $40. I am so glad she mostly just needs polos and slacks. I better start saving now because it looks like about $300 to buy the whole kit-n-kkaboodle. At least her brother can wear the polos, gym outfit, and slacks.

wedding craziness. Don't worry about your dress, it will be ready and fine. the cleaner got all kinds of stuff out of mine after the wedding (8+ hours of wearing white, and you're bound to get something on it!)

So we heard Baby3's heartbeat today, which means I'm apparently going to have a baby in February : So now I have to get used to that whole thing.

I am a little bit worried, however, that I have Lyme disease. I've got all the symptoms, but my OB doesn't want to treat me until after the (notoriously unreliable) blood test. That totally freaks me out, especially since they don't really have lyme around here, but they do in PA where we vacationed and where E. picked up a nice case of it this summer. :
