I keep saying that I am going to post more often but somehow it never works out that way.....
Everything is going good here. We have something in the works in terms of a new house, but since we aren't sure if it is going to go through or not, we made the decision not to tell anyone what it is exactly.
Recently we took Brooke to the zoo with Anna and Julia and Beth. They were so cute together and I think that Brooke had a lot of fun. I posted some pics. When we went into the monkey house a monkey pooped on her arm, which she wasn't happy about, but it was easily cleaned with lots of wipes and antibacterial soap.
Mother's day was....rainy. The night before the IL's came over. For my mother's day present we were going to go to Boston and spend the day, but it was POURING rain out and poor Brookie already had a cold so we scratched that idea. I think I am going to go tanning, the spray on type, instead.
The pregnancy is going well, I can't believe I'm already 22 weeks along. We have only four months! I saw my midwife last week and the baby feels good, heartbeat is good. She was impressed by the strengths of the kicks Summer was giving me and feels it might be a sign that she will be a bigger baby.
Well Brooke has officially weaned. It's bittersweet for me. My breasts were so incredibly sore that every nursing session was a wincing session for me, so I decided that I would stop offering and only nurse when she asked me. She asked twice in the two days after that, then stopped asking. She hasn't nursed for 13 days. She does make up for it in cuddling though. Instead of nursing to sleep for naps and bedtime, she comes to me holding her lovey and I hold her or lay down next to her until she falls asleep. Of course, right after she weaned she developed THE worst cold of her life, which she still has somewhat. Awful cough, runny nose, on and off fever. Coincidence? I think not. I do miss the nursing though, but I am enjoying my break before the baby gets here and I become the nursing machine again LOL.
Jason and I have decided that if it's possible, we would like to homeschool our kids. I am going to start with Brooke assoon as we move into our new place. She's been getting so good with words though, she now says "ats dish" for what's this, and yesterday when my sister came home she pointed at the gate and said, "Stacie!" I think that made my sister happy. She's also started to draw shapes, today when we were coloring she started drawing circles with the crayons.
On Friday we didn't do much, just hung out at home. Saturday I got a break from the monster and went to Wal-Mart, then we went to a birthday cookout for Julia and Anna. I posted pics. Unfortunately, we had to leave early due to Brooke. She has ALWAYS been good when out, we've never had a problem with her at all, but not that day! She kept having melt down after melt down, we finally threw in the towel and left. Of course, after we left she was a perfect angel, go figure @@. We ended up going to the library then going out to eat and to the mall before heading home to crash. I bought three new maternity shirts :o)Then today we did nothing but hang out at home and clean and then we just got back from eating out.
Well that's pretty much it. Brooke wants to color some more so ciao!
