Desperation
As you can see on the video, we’re so freaking close to ‘Dada’ and ‘Mama’ it’s unreal. We spend all day talking to her, I guess it’s finally taking effect.
Good news on the Memaw front: It was exactly a month from yesterday that she fell.(no, that’s not the good news…) She went to the doctor yesterday and was going to ask if she could soon go to the cane instead of the walker. But he told her she might not even *need* the cane. He said she was walking pretty well without a limp and might be off help completely by the end of the month! WOO HOO! It’s just in time for me to come down in July and wrestle with her. ( I think I can take her.)
Next week is my classes to become a professional family child care provider. (for future reference, it’s called FCC) It’ll be about a week long and instead of spending two hundred dollars to pay someone to watch Caitlyn while I’m in class, she might get to spend the week at Grandma’s house in Indiana. (it just depends on her work schedule.) It’ll be crazy hard to be without my Lovebug for a whole week but I know it’ll be for the best. Derek’s on daytime classes next week too so he can keep me busy in the evening when I’d normally be playing with my girl.
In other (slightly TMI) news, we’re trying for baby #2. We saw a 3 week old baby girl in church on Sunday and my heart nearly broke. I need a new snuggle peanut. Caity doesn’t let me snuggle anymore, she’s reached an independant stage where she wants to do everything by herself and doesn’t want me holding onto her anymore. (Mom says I did the same thing so it’s my bittersweet justice.) During my first pregnancy I swore I was going to adopt all the rest but now I’m actually crazy enough to go through it all again. What is WRONG with my HEAD?!?
Love to all!

i think she’s trying to tell you “duh” or “dur” it’s her way of making fun of you while driving ya’ll nuts. she and i had long conversations when you were out of the room. you just weren’t paying attention.
hahahaha she’s cute though.
Wow, a second baby? Already?
Good luck with that!! :0)
I don’t know if you were serious or not about considering adoption, but I for one would applaud the decision. I don’t know if you’re “pro-life” or not, but I’ve always felt that people on that side of the abortion debate have a moral responsibility to adopt as many children as they can afford if they honestly believe that all unwanted or unexpected pregnancies be forced to continue until delivery. If we want women to have children they really don’t want, then pro-lifers should be the first ones in line to adopt those unwanted children, right?
Abso-friggin-lutely!
You know me, 100% pro-life. It’s a baby from the moment of conception and I don’t believe in death for an innocent child. (anyone who tries to tell me otherwise will get an earful. This is your fair warning and is not a joke.) My grandma was adopted by her parents, my aunt was adopted by her parents, I was adopted by my daddy, etc etc. All pro life people- all made the same choice.
I stand firm that a child doesn’t have to be *your* flesh and blood to fill *your* heart.
