Yes, if everything goes well, we will be having a new addition to our family in August. We shared the news with family over Christmas by Ethan wearing his shirt we made him. Trey and Avery are thrilled and Avery reminds me every day that we need to be praying that it's a girl. Trey actually wants a girl too because he said "it would be fair then". Trey and Avery are 24 months apart and Ethan and this one will be 22 months apart, so almost the same. We are very happy and excited that God has blessed us with another pregnancy, and praying that everything goes well with this pregnancy!
We have been hit by the sick bug again and this time it's Ethan. He woke up this morning with a fever and cough and has had a 102 fever on and off all day. I went in to check on him at 11 and he was just laying there in his crib. He was burning up again so i got him up and gave him some motrin and tried to get him to drink something. He pushes the cup away and pushes his bottle away (which tells me he's feeling really crummy cause he loves his bottle). I got him to eat some jello finally. Poor little guy is very lethargic, he just wants to be cuddled. Hopefully the we are rid of the sick bug by Christmas!
Trey begged me to order the book "Eragon" from his weekly scholastic book order at school, so i did and he got it yesterday. I couldn't tell in the magazine that it was a 500 page book! He has been reading ever since, he has his bookmark and pencil to mark where he leaves off the time before. He struggled in kindergarten and his teacher tutored him after school, so we were worried that he was going to struggle through school, but he has taken off and doing great. He does struggle with math (i think he has his mother's math brain), so daddy does all the math homework with him and mommy does the spelling and reading. He is on page 23 in his big book, so he has lot's of reading to do!
Ethan has gotten very used to getting bundled up three times a day to go back and forth to school. The first hat i got him he HATED and would figure out a way to get it off. This hat he doesn't mind at all and never tries to take it off even in the van.
"Lunch can really wear a guy out!" The thing i love about this picture is that i have a picture of Trey at about the same age as Ethan is, sacked out in that very same highchair at Grandma's house.
I got to school with Avery today at 12:30 and Avery's teacher came out and said "your son is in the nurse's office sick". He had puked right before lunch and had a fever and sore throat. They had been trying to call me for an hr but i had forgotten to give the school my new cell # (oops). They kept getting a busy signal on my old phone and Trey told them "she does talk on the phone alot, sometimes 3 hrs at a time" "she's probably at Target". :) I took him to the dr this afternoon and sure enough, strep again. He just finished antibiotic last week for strep and now we start again! The dr referred us to an ENT to consult about having his tonsils out since this is the 7th time of strep for him this year. The doc said it's time to probably do something about it. Trey wants nothing to do with the thought of having his tonsils out and breaks into tears even talking about it. We go see the ENT on Thursday. No school for Trey tommorow.
"Just thought i'd help myself to a little cereal mom..."
Tonight when i came home from work i went in and checked on each of the kids sound asleep in their beds. I kissed their cheeks and re-tucked them in and stopped and thanked God for our three beautiful children! We are so blessed. I never feel like i take the blessing of them for granted, but i'm sure i probably don't thank God enough! Trey... my soft-hearted, sensitive, creative, loving, silly boy. Avery... my feisty, outgoing, yet shy at times, creative and very loving little princess. Ethan...what a journey we went on before we were blessed with him... he's my loving, cuddly, silly, absolute answer to prayer! And i can't leave out our three angel babies in Heaven, a very real part of our journey... Yes i'm sappy tonight, and someday when the kids read this they may think so too, but they will also know how much their mommy loves them and how thankful i am to be their mommy!!
