today

today...

husband is back in town so that makes things easier!  and finally got an uninterrupted night of sleep for the first time since sunday night.

massive headache today.  took two rounds of tylenol to knock it out.  i miss my excedrin.  bad thing about pregnancy, no motrin and no excedrin.

will got hit at preschool today.

phoebe got one leg over the side of the crib today.  oh, give me a few more months!

my kids are so beautiful.

phoebe wants to color everyday.  she thinks it's funny to pass gas.  i did so good holding back any laughter whenever will would pass gas as a baby and toddler.  he would never react to it.  but, phoebe has always thought it was funny and i just can't hold back laughing about it now.  never thought my daughter would be more crude than my son.  it's kind of bad because sometimes the boy will let one slip, she laughs and then makes herself pass gas.

phoebe language at 19 months:

peeee mama peee - please, mama
i oh no - i don't know
wah wah - will will
ehmo - elmo, oatmeal
hee mama- here mama
hee go mama - here ya go mama
ah poo poo - i poo pooed
colo - color
mammy - lamby
bye bye
no
various animal sounds (dog, cow, cat, horse, pig, sheep)

and, oh, she can give a stern look when she says no.

she associates bed with Jesus Loves Me because that's her night night song.

songs she sings:
ABCs - almost everytime she sees letters anywhere
Jesus Loves Me
Elmo's World - la la ehmo wee

for where your treasure is...

today the boy's fever broke.  5 days of fighting a fever.

finally did a kroger run.

kroger value toilet paper - not a value.  it may be a couple dollars cheaper, but do yourself a favor and buy charmin on sale.

chewing on this today - something my friend for life posted on fb - my nearly organized. really pretty, bargain bought hoard

for where your treasure is, there also will your heart be.

i have two kids  - live in America.  we live on one income and we have toys and clothes galore.  well, the kids do.  (3/4 of my clothes don't fit anymore or at least they won't for another year).  lots of hand me downs.  lots of blessings.  lots of chances to bless others.

there are children starving right now.  i know we've heard this before.

but, there are children starving right now.

i've been reminded of this a lot this year and it's not sitting well.

so, that's what elmo's been thinking about today.  da da da dahhh.  that song is so catchy!  my kids love it and i think elmo is fine, but that song is driving me bonkers.

i promised pics - here are a few.

 she loves to be outside.  "side side!"

she loves her sidewalk chalk.  gets it all over her body.  she wants to color me too.  it's not enough for her to color alone.  mommy must color (kah) with her.  sometimes i have had enough of coloring and i say no.  this doesn't go over well.  she loves her crayons and chalk.  will was nothing like that!  

cooling off in front of the a/c vent.  we had been at the park and it had been very warm that day.  she does like to sit in front of the vents though anyway.

had to get away to the mountains last weekend.  this was right before will got so sick.  or i think he had already started to get sick but was enjoying himself anyway.  who has time for a virus when you're in the mountains and there's water and paddleboats and mountain music!

he's so handsome!

glad i packed the bathing suits.  the water wasn't even very cold at all.

today will is still suffering with a double ear infection.  it acts like it is getting better and then he crashes again.  he is having problems hearing.  it is so easy to worry.  going back to the doc tomorrow morning if he is not better.

baby girl had a happy day today.  lots of smiles.  maybe we are turning a corner.  even had a sweet moment with her as she squeezed my face and said "yoh momma" and then patted her chest and said "ah bebee".

got to talk to my two best girlfriends today.  that is rare and even more rare now because they both have new babies.  both in the fourth trimester with their second child.  an exhausting time.  both sounded so calm.

september feels beautiful in georgia. 

hoping for a snowy winter to kill all these mosquitoes. 

i am 13 weeks and 5 days along.  i weigh the same as i did with baby girl at 18 weeks.  30 and pregnant.  thankful i got past the first trimester just in time to take care of a sick boy.  energy has returned but still tired.

clutter, dirty dishes, ironing.

pictures to come later.

it's late and i have to sleep now...
