GRANDMA’S Crowning visit !

      

she came just in time to help finish the nursery……and bring elation to her grandbabies

Funny Monday

i was at a friends house

and as i stood up her 5 year old said

“WOW…your PREGNANT”

i said

“YUP..I’ve got two babies in there”

he said

“YEAH…or…a ball”

Spring must be around the corner...

...cause the boss is rearranging the furniture! Nothing like a two
year old spring cleaning..hmm

I was standing in the hall outside the relief society room, trying to
get some relief from the chairs inside said room when 1/3 of the
relief society presidency rushed past me, moment later she rushed back
with who else but my Mr. in tow... Odd indeed but since neither
desired my attention I wrote it off to some scouting thing( the Mr. is
curently somewhat of a scouting head honcho). A few minutes later my
Mr. came back around the corner this time clearly desiring my
attention with a look on his face I have seen before, immediatley my
eyes searched for the child I knew was lurking in his wake. Standing
wild eyed behind my handsomely suited spouse was none other than our
eldest...what Jax's never has trouble me thinks...hmm. So I broke away
from my hallway chat with ease seeing as how the second participant
was much more involved with the 7 month old at her hip than whatever
conversing we'd been involved in. The Mr. looked solemly into my eyes
and spoke " he's been asked to leave his class for inappropriate
comments and disruptive behavior" "yikes" I blurted. We took the boy
to the car opened it and asked him to get in and buckle his seat belt
then we closed the doors and the Mr. related the conversation that
took place with our firstborns primary teacher..."so they( Jaxson &
mates) were asked to draw a picture of their families.......and our
son asked if he could draw a picture of his families BUMS"...he barley
got the last word out with a straight face..and I...well I burst out
laughing ( so glad my face was turned from the boy in the car, so glad
this conversation was happening outside ) So, there it was..my son was
kicked out of primary & I was in charge of him while my man went to
get the others. I sat quietly waiting.. He was quiet as well, when in
comes the second.. Bright & cheery with valentines candy to share..."
why'd you leave your class early Jax's" "cause I don't wanna be in
class, I don't like it" the anger lined answer spit out of the first's
mouth(too embaressed to admit his mis step) and then Liam's incredible
response " Jaxson, Heavenly Father wants you to be in your class, it
is a priveledge to be able to go to church". Wow, I need to say
nothing my 5 year old put the words better than I could of ...so
Jaxson will write an apology to his teacher & class mates and I will
forever be impressed by Liams quick acting testimony...

Recent activity of choice for the boss & the princess

how to get over yourself….i wish i knew

i cannot be the only women to have ever been pregnant with twins..in fact i know that i am not ..in fact i know a few women who’ve been pregnant with twins & one who’s had triplets

none the less i feel V E R Y sorry for myself…why…i could give you the list…but i really shouldn’t …you know i can’t help feeling

OUCH

AWEFUL

MISSERABLE

NO GOOD

VERY BAD

yikes!  i am not this women

i am not the feel bad for myself

eat junk food..and nothing but

watch hours of TV….and let the kids watch hours as well

the problem with all this is

I AM SO BLEST

maybe this attitude would be a little less deplorable if i

hadn’t been showered with love almost every minute of my pregnancy…and life for that matter

or if

my mom, grandma, aunt, cousin, and two great friends hadn’t traveled all the way from Utah in order to whisk me away to DT Seattle for a 4 day 3 night stay in a hotel on the water complete with  TOO MANY gifts..TOO MUCH fun…TOO MANY laughs…& a ULTIMATE BABY SHOWER with my pacific north west crew at an Indian restaurant of all places (YUM)

or if

my loving husband hadn’t flown his mom in from her relaxed lifestyle on the beach in Costa Rica ( and she came)  to take care of the house…the shuttling to and from school..& the meals…..

WHO am i that i still feel like I'm soooo put upon ?

I am soon to be blest with 2 more precious children…AMAZING

I already have 4 amazing children

I WILL NOT be pregnant forever for heavens sake

what is my deal….honestly

maybe i can act like the person i am in the next few weeks so all the people who’ve continued to love me through this don’t get fed up with my

Attitude!

***note from the author***

the Twinkies are weighing in at 3lbs 8 oz & 3lbs 10 oz…respectable weights for 32 weeks gestation

the c-section is set for

March 26…we all hope to make it to that date (even if i feel like it’s killing me)in order to have two strong healthy babes who never see the inside of the NICU

they look good in the ultrasounds…squished for sure but really strong & good
