week 25 sickness and blues

By
Well I am over 25 weeks now. Potentially in 10 weeks little Mr. could be here. I am starting to feel like I need to get everything together and to finalize things but in reality there is still a lot of time and I am not in charge of the world. I am waiting on a call back from the hospital about a refresher child birth class which will be some weekend in May and after I know that date then I can let my friend know so she can plan the shower. I'm also waiting patiently to talk about baby names. I've come up with my final list but somehow something always comes up and the discussion changes directions. We've got the middle and last name figured out (although Dylan keeps telling me that the baby's last name should be Knight). This weekend hopefully we will have a date night on Saturday and I'll get some undivided attention to talk about all the things we used to talk about :)
I've been fighting off a sore throat/cold for a few days now and just felt out of it so today I went out and got a hair cut this morning and then took a nice long nap. I just found out that while I was sleeping the kids have planned a pretend "real" trip to Disneyworld, complete with calling hotels in Orlando and looking up flights on the internet... what? Luckily we don't have a land line to rack up long distance charges... They are now packing for their plane flight on the couch and Danielle is instructing Dylan on the differences in a carry on and a checked bag. With them packing, I just hope I don't have to help with the unpacking! My kids are crazy. Anyway I have just felt out of it and I am trying not to be a grump while I am not feeling too well but it's not going that great. Luckily Shane has been trying to help me out a little when he can so that makes it easier. A friend even offered to bring dinner over tonight just to be nice and another friend is coming over tomorrow morning to hang out and let the kids play. I just thank God that I have friends around that can keep me sane even when I feel like a bum mom, a hubby that told me today that I deserve a pedicure for mother's day, and kids that make me laugh.

Keeping up with the Sadlers

Lincoln favorite new past time, listen closely for "Dada"  Dylan had cowboy day at school and could dress up and meet "real cowboys". We live in a hick town and his school was having an assembly about the cowboy way , or having character. Yes, Lincoln's bib is purplish, but it says I Love my Sister so it's ok :)  Cute big boy outfit Auntie Jackie got Lincoln, while sticking out his tongue. I think it looks like a little pickle. Weird, another tongue shot, he does it a lot. While playing with a plush orange (like the fruit) it sort of landed like this and I thought it looked a little like a bikini top and snapped a pic. Hey you have to have fun with life right?

Soaking it all In

Because I have a bad habit of zoning out when the tv is on, I've turned it off and told myself it can't come on until a rerun of a show I wanted to see comes on at 11. I can't stay up late so I'm trying to watch shows that will rerun, which is most of them outside of the basic cable channels. So obviously instead of working on my homework about Intercultural Crossings in Indian Music while Lincoln is taking a nap, I'm on here updating you on the trivial matters of my day. A friend told me an interesting revelation the other day. "When you have a child that is an infant you are the most physically exhausted. When you have a child that is just entering school aged you are the most mentally exhausted. When you have a teenager you are the most emotionally exhausted." So the way I see it, since I have one in each category I'm basically the most exhausted I'm going to get and since I'm seeming to do ok, it's only going to get easier from here. Y...

New Moves

So I officially started feeling the baby moving around this week, Tuesday to be exact, and now I feel dancing all the time. It's pretty weird because it has been so long since I've housed a fetus and I know no one else can feel it from the outside, but it's really real. The picture I took on the left shows me holding a photo of a 17week baby to scale. It's hard to imagine something that big is fitting inside of me already :) We had the "Mom" talk today inside the Dollar Store. Danielle asked me if it was ok if she could call me Mom. She says I treat her the way a mom should treat her daughter and that made me so proud. I am so glad that even though we have our daily and weekly ups and downs that our family unit is really coming together.
