What a new place we are at as a couple and a family. I have never had a career before when pregnant, Larry is laid off, our youngest is going to be four tomorrow, and I am filled with alternating waves of joy and terror when I consider the little one who will arrive in about 2 1/2 months.
It is getting so bad I am developing a nervous tick.
We are starting over from scratch with a new baby!
*tick, tick*
New baby smell.
FOUR weddings to pay for!
*tick, tick*
Tiny little toes.
SO much at work to get ready before I leave on extended maternity!
*tick, tick*
A new little personality to meet!
Gave away most of my baby clothes.
*tick, tick*
House no where NEAR ready.
*tick, tick*
So (ahem) light on my feet? (note sarcasm)
*tick, tick*
*tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, panic and tick*
What? What is that Ma'am? No, there is nothing REALLY wrong with me. I am just a little stressed out because... What is that? No, I DON'T have Turret's Syndrome.
Wait! Where are you going? Ma'am? Ma'am?
*SIGH* Perhaps I should obsess and stress when I am not standing in the baby aisle at Meyer's.
*tick, tick*
Monkey See
Eliana is now 12 -going on 25. Very smart and loves science. She adores animals and is an amazing artist. She is my big and responsible girl who can handle almost anything, and has proven to have a real talent with little kids. She is very musical, more than w expected, and is currently thuroughly enjoying a recently acquired piano.
Monkey Do
Mia is my little soft spirit. Full of compassion and quick to tears, She is our very affectionate child. Mia is SOCIAL, and makes friends everywhere she goes! She is the first o give up last treat to someone else, and she always is the first to apologize. Monkey Do also is constantly looking for new ways to earn money. I think she will be a very hardworking little entrapreneur. Mia also has a real gift for crafting, excelling in a variety of difficult crafting arts. Quite impressive to this momma! She recently turned 11 and we can't believe how fast she has grown.
Monkey Shine
Now eight, Noelle is still full of spunk! She is a trooper, is willing to try anything, and has her Daddy and Grandpa wrapped around her little finger. She is FUNNY! She has a great sense of humor. Noelle adores ballet and all things uber girly. She "practices" her stellar moves and dreams of being a ballerina. Her favorite wardrobe item is the fluffiest tutu you have ever seen. She is a joy to have arouns.
Curious George
Emma is smart and funny. WAY too smart. She is incredibly gifted verbally and loves to make us laugh. She is a nurturer and has a mind of her own. She is curious about everything: hense her Monkey name! ANd as she has grown she has gotten a little bossy. She and Noelle share a love of all things frilly and are peas in a pod. She is a lot of fun!
Monkey Business
Kenny, now three, is our only boy and the last child on the tail end of our family. We never dreamed that when Emma was still very young I would become pregnant with our only boy. My, oh, my! Is he ever all boy and the only child who inherited his Daddy's blue eyes! Nothing about four girls prepared me for a boy! He is beyond busy and full of rambunctious spunk. What a lesson for me! They are different from the womb!
