March 2008

Well it has been some time since I have been on here. I have been pretty busy around here lately, between me being sick (morning sickness) the girls having the flu and ananiah having Adenoid surgery we have all been in some form of recovery for over a month or so now. I am much better, the girls still have the snots but other then that we are all doing well! John has been deployed to the border for a few weeks now and won't be back until the 15th of Mar. or after then? Who knows with the Army!!! They are flying and He loves that so I am happy for him! I somehow manage to get allot of stuff done while he is gone? I guess because i focus on things I have been putting off when I do not have to worry or take care of all his stuff! Husbands!! I miss him terribly when he is gone and am quite jumpy! I have never been one to sleep well while he is away! HEHEHE Last night we had a terrible wind storm and it knocked the my yard swing over on the patio in the back and scared me to death I had to find the pistol and sneak over to the door to see what all the noise was. It was late and no one should have been in our back yard. I had the phone in one had and John's 45 in the other. The girls slept right through all the noise? Well Ananiah's surgery went well, she went in to out patient surgery on the 21st. She was supposed to be on liquid diet until that evening but the child was so hungry she ate everything she could get her hands on when we left the hospital. She had three Popsicles, a fried egg, pudding cups, tons of juice, and something else I can not remember. She eats well normally and had not gotten to eat that morning before the surgery. I was a wreak as you can imagine. My baby girl going into surgery was scary!!! She was only there for four hours, in the operating room for less then 20 mins and only under the meds. for less then an hour. She acted like nothing was wrong and we never saw her cry a bit. The nurses praised her for how good she was, one said she had good lungs, I guess she fussed some when she first woke up. The nurses were so sweet and they thought my girl was so good.
This month is going to go by fast, we have so much planned for this month. John is supposed to be back mid march then we have Hayden and Jamie's spring break. Plus our Adina will be two on the 15th. and Easter is early this year. We have our cottage prayer meetings this month as well. We are busy busy as always. I am 23 weeks along now and the baby is a boy. We found out in Feb. and are truly excited. The name we are thinking about is Isaiah Joseph McBride. John really likes it. I am not completely sold on it. He is showing a little small right now but I have no doubt that he will be a little one by looking at my two other midgets!! They are small for their ages as well but they make up for it in personality.
Ananiah is going to be four in May so we are going to start pre-k soon. I am a little nervous about homeschooling her but she is a bright smart little one and I know she will learn quickly! I am more worried about how well I will be able to keep up with her! LOL She is already trying to learn time and money on her own. She knows her letters, numbers, colors, and shapes she loves to draw and colors well inside the lines now. She loves to do her workbooks, and dot to dot pages. She can write most of her letters we are working on writing her numbers now.
Adina is working on potty training now and her coloring and alphabet now. She is talking so much, she started that early around nine months and can talk as much as Ananiah. She is soo stubborn too. She makes me laugh so much, she pushes every boundary and rule. She is still a baby when she is tired then she wants me to hold and rock her. She is a trouble maker with her sister. She loves to torment her and pick at her. She is such a stinker. She is going to be my jokster. Adina is very interesting in animals, she loves horses the most. I think that is just something in our blood! I plan to try to get both girls into horseback riding lessons as early as I can. They both love to learn about animals.
Things here are always crazy and I try to keep up with this thing but please forgive me for not writing and updating this as much as I wanted to!
