Wow, I wish my camera was working---


Because I have LOTS to share!!!
Trip started school Monday--his first day of Kindergarten....and I didn't even cry!! Not much anyway, and not when he was around. LOL He was so big--didn't want me to walk him in at first because he wanted to be "a big kid" and I had to convince him that everyone's mommy and daddy walks them in the first day. And then he wouldn't let me hold his hand.  And then we get to the class, and he looks in to see if anyone is watching and informs me that I can give him a hug--and even a kiss, since no one is looking. LOL  Then he walked in and found his place with the other kids and didn't even look back!!
Davey took him Tuesday, and then today he rode with Mrs. Casey and Grant. He thought that was pretty cool. :) He's so proud of himself, and I'm SO SO proud of my big, brave boy!!!
And Ms. Genevieve is being homeschooled for 3 year old preschool. She's loving every minute of it!! I'm teaching her and Gracie 3 days a week, and one of the days another little girl who's 2 1/2 is here to learn with them. :) She even calls me "Mrs. Kristen" instead of Mommy when we're having school time. LOL
I started of Monday, with the theme "Getting to know you" and did introductions, rules, etc....went over our abc's and counting to 10, and a few shapes. I took the time to focus on circles because I was going to get them to draw a picture of themselves and told them that we use a circle or an egg shape for our  head.....Gen stops for a minute and cocks her head to the side and says "You know Momma, my head's kind of a square." LOL So....Genna-Clair's picture features a nice big square head and some legs....that's what I get for banning Spongebob. LOL
And I had a Dr. appt today, and another ultrasound. Baby measures right on target, weighs just a little more than 2.5lbs and is very very active. :) HB sounded great! And as for the ultrasound, the kidneys still had excessive fluid on them and also showed some on the pelvic wall--not sure exactly what all that means, but they're sending me to a specialist for a level 3 ultrasound and I'll know more about that in a week or two. This baby is still face-down!! Stubborn booger!! Still unable to get a profile shot, but I did get a good look at that sweet face, again! Oh my goodness the cheeks!! They're so cute and round....and I saw a fat little hand, too. lol I thought it was cute how much cute baby fat this one's already obviously packing on. I bet its another short, chubby baby like Genna-Clair was--and if you've seen Davey's baby picture with those big-ol cheeks and smoochy fat lips, you'd think this u/s picture looked just like him!! And the little smushed up nose. lol I love getting to see my baby every appt. Even if its because of being labeled "high risk", its so nice to get to see that baby change and grow so much already!! I'm so in love!!! 
And I have to do the GTT (Glucose) test Monday, so be praying abput that too!! I have a feeling its gonna be fine. I don't have ANY of the symptoms of Gestational Diabetes like I did with Trip. By now I was getting sick, light-headed, having vision issues, and swelling quite a bit with him. AND I've only gained a pound and a half the last month! YAY!  I know Ive grown quite a bit...and I won't tell you what I weigh, because its quite shocking and I KNOW I don't look like I weigh that much!! LOL Its my butt, my boobs, and my LEGS!! They're huge, but hard as rocks! So I can't complain--I know its mostly muscle and a little water weight. :)

Aha!

I DID post more blog installments, only on a different blog. Some of my posts were of a bitter, angry, "everything is unfair" type....but know that I'm over it all now. The people it involves are much loved and all has been forgiven. (Well, the family stuff anyway) lol So...I did, I did, I did post more!! See!!?? And reading back through a lot of it is very painful...because I know what was going on behind the words typed there. Anyway, there's some background of me, and whats gone on in my life the last 2-3 years or so...well, some of it. A Little South of Sanity Great name, huh? I just didn't think I could link to it. :)

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

baby names

Well I said before that if this baby is a boy, its name would be Davin---Davey decided he doesn't really like that name very much and gave me a really good reason why, so I've decided that its okay NOT to use that name.... A little girl will be Ella or Ellie, and I'm keeping the name we've chosen for a boy kinda quiet except to close friends and relatives that I can trust not to say ugly things.... As far as my immediate family (mom dad siblings etc...) the baby will be Harry or Sue. lol I'm not telling them another thing because they've been so rude about it. Its my baby and if I want to name it Prudence or Darwin or Nancy or John or whatever,  I will! (I don't like those names, btw...lol) In other words....people need to keep their comments to themselves. just like with TRIP I will call my child what I want to, like it or not.
