I've been more than absent from my blog, I know. I wish I could claim I was too busy to post, but I wasn't. While waiting I was trying to organize my emotions and life.
Can you believe that this week (or next) while I'm having my 7th baby, my first baby will be going away to camp for a whole week! All by herself! She leaves this Sunday. And so while preparing for the new baby I've been dealing with lots of emotions about letting my first baby go. She's growing up into a young woman.
My biggest worries used to be about her learning to read. Now I'm worried about what she's reading, what she's watching, if I've taught her enough to go out into the big world.
Meanwhile, this new little one is arriving and will have to jump into our busy schedule. So different from the first time.
I've been thinking alot. I can't believe how fast life is going. And I'm sometimes dissapointed with how much I don't get done. But I also try to focus on what I do manage to squeeze in between chaufering, cooking and laundry.
I managed to crochet the baby a beautiful blue afghan. Craig finally bought me a glider rocker!!!!!!!!! Six children and never once have I had a glider rocker. LOL!
We've been busy painting the house, going through a job change (and insurance change, too), trying to figure out how to be the mom to older kids who've gone from being doting to arguing all the time.
My back has been more than sore and more than twice I've been confined to lying around due to some unpleasant pain when sitting common to pregnancy. :-)
But, all in all, its been worth it. I'm ready for this baby. And even though I've been an emotional mess (as in buckets and buckets of tears) and my kids have had to pick up the slack around here, I know that as soon as I hold him I will forget these pass few weeks. And my sweetie will be happy to have his normal wife back. Its amazing he can put up with me during these final weeks!
So, stay tuned. Hopefully our newest baby will make an appearance soon.
