Ok, the purpose of this blog was for me to start writing. I used to write stories and such and I always enjoyed the process. It has been more years than I would like to count since I have done any of it. As you can see, I have only 2 entries. Being a new full time stay at home mommy, preparing for baby #3 whom is due at any moment and trying to find time to write has been a huge challenge. I have decided that I really need to make the time to sit down and begin...
Let's begin with this week. The weather has been unseasonably warm this week. We have had more outings than normal. We have our regular playgroup session every Thursday. Mark came with me this Wednesday for my weekly Doc visit which was a nice change. They went to the playground at least twice this week! We played out on the front porch, and a few trips to the corner & grocery stores. Phew! Lots of walking for a very prego mommy but good times!
I did have a few days of very intense lower back pain. I thought at first it could be early signs of labor, but I'm guessing it was just strain on those muscles. Turns out the only places I can sit relatively comfortable are in my glider or in bed. I would love a full body massage right about now! It's been so very long since I've had one. I'll put it on my "to do" list!
Mikayla has had her share of challenges this week. She's pretty much potty trained! She even sleeps in panties with no accidents as yet. What she also likes to do is play in the toilet water. After she has peed, of course. So, we have had many wash ups and deep talks and even a few time outs and spanks. She even tried standing up to pee! I had a good laugh at that and really enjoyed retelling the story to daddy! He still doesn't close the bathroom door, so I'm sure either she will try it again or the others will, once they start potty training!
Malia's week has been pretty tough. She's been very cranky and screaming a lot! Especially in the afternoons and early evenings, after her nap. Everything makes her scream. Her sister trying to hug her, touch her or even breathe near her. She has learned a few new words but I know she is frustrated when she cannot communicate what she wants or feels. It is very intense and at the end of a long day alone with them both, it is really difficult for me to deal with. I find myself getting very impatient and yelling after 5pm. I keep telling myself that it will get easier, especially once the baby is born and my hormones have a chance to level out. (fingers crossed). I never want to be be THAT mom.
On a good note, we've have many great moments this past week also! Lots of hugs and kisses and good times on our outings! Our next adventure should be welcoming the newest addition to the King family. Whom, by the way, still doesn't have a name picked. Woops! :)
