half way today!! (20 weeks)


YAY!! And I'm not a huge cow like I thought I'd be!! lol I'll try to find my memory stick so I can post a picture later. :)
The big ultrasound is tomorrow--I'm worried. ;) That they're gonna slip up and tell us the gender!! It wouldn't be the end of the world, but---I really want to wait!! Its so great now, knowing that this little baby is starting to respond to our voices. Genna-Clair makes the baby kick like machine-gun action, and Trip makes the baby roll...its really strange! And of course, if the baby has been kicking and then Davey starts talking, it gets really really still, like it doesn't want to miss a word. lol Its happened enough times now to know that its a response to them. Crazy, isn't it?
I've been really tired and un-motivated lately. Kinda feeling like a loser. I want to clean my house and do things with my kids, but I can't find the energy to do it!! I mean, a week ago I could--and then a bunch of CRAP happened, and then Gen got her tonsils out---I think it has a lot to do with taking care of her all hours of the night, and then knowing I don't have anything or anyone to get up and do things for besides my kids and they'll sleep in as long as I do! And I'm complaining!! lol I've GOT to find something to do or another kid to keep, and I've GOT to quit being so lazy or I AM going to be huge!!!
Anyway, Genna-Clair is doing better. She still wakes up crying because she wants her tonsils back-lol. She'll be fine all day, and then around 8 she's exhausted and says she hurts--so I give her some medicine and like 30 minutes later, she gets this second wind! I've tried everything to get her to just go back to bed and go to sleep, but it never fails--she's up till 11, then up again at 3, and 6, and up for the day at 8. And my dear husband does not understand the importance of his pregnant wife getting sleep, these days! Trip has been great!! He does some things that make me question his intelligence, but he's a 5-year-old boy, and that's just what they do!!
Maybe I'll post some more later--for now, I smell something that needs to be cleaned or I'm gonna be sick. ugh--

Reviving the Writer

... Deciding to revive a once-lost memory is intimidating. The will to bare your thoughts, sometimes unedited, for public viewing, conjures images of hiding behind my mother's dress at church -just to get a good peek at things before edging into view.  If only writing gave us at least that safety net.  A conversation with a friend inspired this post, a decade after shutting down and retreating to small blurbs on social media.  I asked why she hasn't 'written that book.' You know, when judging others, you're just asking to be judged yourself--and our toughest judge typically is our own inner voice. Henceforth, I have determined that on this day, in order to practice what I speak, in absolute protest against my tendency to imposter syndrome, I'll be writing again.  It isn't that I stopped communicating but I stopped sharing my thoughts so openly.  I'll update the happenings of the past decade and plan a fresh look to this space.  Everchanging, Kristen

Trip called 9-1-1.....

Current mood: shocked Category: Life My son called 9-1-1 today....Yep, he did! I was in my room, on the phone with my mom and Trip runs in with the other line and says "here Momma....." The other line:: "Hello, this is 9-1-1 what is your emergency?" me:: "excuse me?" Trip:: "Genna did it." me:: "What? No way. I'm so sorry. No, there is no emergency....etc....." Turns out, Trip did call.....because Genna-Clair supposedly told him to....I doubt she even knows what 9-1-1 is. Trip does because we studied it in our preschool curriculum. But he also knows when it should be used. I'm pretty sure he didn't think it was real...or that it would go through. Well, the police officer came and asked "who the culprit was"-his words- Trips eyes got watery and he was thoroughly embarrased. We talked about who 9-1-1 is for, how and when it should be used, and why it was not okay for Trip to call today. I think he got it. ~sigh~ T...
