It's been a while. We've had holidays, and family events, and all sorts of blog worthy events...but no blogs. I just can't keep it together. Maybe it's a subconscious realization that I am just not that important, but whatever the case is- I've been missing.
So. Let's see. First and foremost, I'm pregnant. Second, I am due in about 2 weeks. Third, Jacob turned 5 yesterday. We are going to have another boy, and his birthday will more than likely be within 2 weeks of Jacob's, and mine. Which means there will be 3 Leo's in the house- me and the kids, and one Cancer (mike) Eeks. I don't take a huge stock in astrology, but even I know that's not good!! LOL.
Jacob had a long birthday celebration, which we started last weekend at Becky's. Pool party and a shared birthday with the twins. Yesterday we went blueberry picking at Tougas Farm, and played with the goats and on the playground for a bit. He had a dentist appointment and got his picture taken to go on the No Cavities wall. He never once asked about presents- he just wanted Ravioli for dinner, and homemade Blueberry Cobbler for his dessert. To his surprise, he did get presents- a shark play set, tacklebox, Make your own bouncy ball set, Worm World, and a Volcano set among other things. Today we might head to Wal Mart to pick him out a bike from Poppa.
We've had a pretty busy summer, as usual. No actual vacation- but we did spend some time up in Vermont for 4th of July, where Jacob was able to spend some boy time with Mike. Hopefully we can get to the Drive In soon, and maybe a Concert on the Common. There is a small waterslide park that I would really, really like for Mike to be able to bring Jacob to, but not sure that will happen.
Mike has been crazy busy. Trying to finish the project at Jim's, so many nights not getting home until 7 or 8 pm. It's kind of tough wrangling Jacob all day by myself being pregnant, but I understand he wants to get it done so he can move on to projects WE need to get moving on. We got a permit for Mike to have a real garage- we'll get rid of the 2 smaller sheds- but who knows when we'll break ground on that. I am imagining it might be during his paternity leave- no joke.
Jacob starts kindergarten on August 26!!! Crazy. I cannot believe he is 5, and starting kindergarten. I also cannot believe that we are starting this all over again with a new baby. We were so close to freedom, I tell Mike. Speaking of new baby- this was not planned. Not a carefully orchestrated medical procedure. No shots, no pills, nothing. Just one big surprise. I blame The Fitness Asylum for helping me get into such great shape that my once completely screwed up body righted itself to normalcy, and BAM. There you have it.
I'll try to update more now that I am out of work, but I make no promises....
