I get online in little spurts. My excuse for not posting is that I can surf and read snippets online while holding a wiggling, jabbering 7 month old and keeping a rowdy 4 yr old from knocking me off my chair. But, typing with all that happening is another story.
Both happen to be asleep right now.
Jett starts soccer next week. His swim lessons end tomorrow, which he loves. I've been thinking about enrolling him in a Spanish class, but won't do that until soccer is over at Thanksgiving. Too many activities are too much money and driving and hassle, even though he LOVES them all and would do three a day if he could. And here I was all of the "let them run wild with no scheduled stuff when they're little" mentality. Go with their lead, though, I guess.
He's doing great and is a wild animal of a kid. I've been reading, "Raising Your Spirited Child," and our relationship has improved tremendously because of it. It's the first time I've ever thought a parenting book was even remotely helpful.
There's lots going on, I guess. DD just started pulling up yesterday. She turned 7 months yesterday too. Today, DH is flying a heart and a transplant team across country. I've been very lonely without DH, who has had to work constantly all summer, but am looking forward to fall, which should bring him home more. Tomorrow he leaves for 8 days, though.
Glad to see all these updates from everyone. As for Facebook, yes I have it. I'll be honest and say that I'm hesitant to add people I don't know in real life. It's like a daily diary to me. My real life friends are spread around the world and I hesitate to add net-friends to it, after the crap I went through a few years ago. I do trust you guys, but am still on edge. Please don't take it personally.
I am thankfully, not pregnant. Just insomnic tonight but hey, at least it bought me time to catch up with you all. lol
So much going on with all you pregos! I think it's so neat that you're all pregnant together again. My lo is 11 months old now. He's been walking for a few weeks and is talking a LOT. He is also the reason I am here now and not sleeping.... he was up up up and not sleeping well and then crashed leaving me wide awake at 3 am.

That's awful about the Lyme disease! Hopefully you won't see any more complications from it now, right? Freaking ticks, I hate them.
In Nashville, the midwife practice that delivered in the hospital would take me. There is one here that was delivering in the hospital, but I can't tell if they are now or not, in any case, I'm pretty sure they won't take me on. It's a very different scene than before. My midwives in N'ville were a teaching staff and my complications were like interesting teaching cases. Plus their OB was the head of Maternal/Fetal medicine at Vanderbilt, so I was being closely monitored. But honestly, the hospital here is very natural birth friendly, it's kind of known for that. They still do VBACs, a few rooms have jacuzzi tubs in them etc.
I hope we're done with the lyme. I'm not opposed to doing another course of antibiotics after the babe comes, but honestly the only thing that's been bothering me is my wrist that has carpal tunnel anyway.

Can we do a Group on there?
I totally get that. Nannymom is the only person I've added that I haven't actually met in real life and we've come close
Now, I have to figure out if I can change my settings to get notifications when you guys post stuff there. Right now, I have to go there to check, it doesn't notify me of anything.
I requested to join the facebook group. The wedding was eventful. My mom still has my pics. There were some falling outs at the reception, the ceremony started an hour late, the bridal party ran out of gas. Not real fun, actually cried myself to sleep that night.
My sis had a boy yesterday. She is FF from the start, he is a month early, and she is doing the unthinkable. I can't even answer her calls now.
