So now that I am out of my first trimester officially, I have been thinking a lot about this baby and the dynamic he/she will bring to our family. I am honestly scared to death thinking about another mouth to feed, clothes, diapers, formula (hopefully I can nurse successfully), etc. And we thought we had a a lot of kids now...lol. I am also in school and thinking about that and a baby I also wonder how that would work. I would be going full time to school once the baby is born and honestly who wants to be gone 8-9 hours a day from a newborn? I am thinking I may take a year off, I think I kinda need it. I am utterly exhausted at this point I can only imagine having no sleep for months and trying to study and have other children and be a wife...good grief I think I would go insane. On another note we are going to be team green this time around, we have always found out what we were having and this time I want a surprise. John and I are planning on this being our last child so I guess we want to experience the best of both worlds so to speak. It will probably be a girl anyway ;-) Stay tuned for March 30th.
Abbi has started school and LOVES it. She comes home so happy and energized. She has made some friends and is learning so much. I also volunteered to be room mom (man as if I did not have enough on my plate, ha) and I am in charge of "top chef" a part of the math portion of the kid's day. It is every other Friday and I am also on PTA so that is beginning this next week as well. I am so excited to have an opportunity to be involved in Abbi's schooling. That is one awesome thing (among others) about being a SAHM.
Jenna and Claire are doing great, they are becoming closer now that Abbi is gone during the day and they have time to bond. They are starting to play together, Claire is beginning to communicate a bit better so it makes it easier for them to play dolls together. Jenna cut her hair last month while she was in time out..I knew something was up when it was silent for 5 minutes and I went to check on her and she had wondered into John and my bathroom and gotten a hold of the scissors. At least she just cut herself a side bang... I am grateful that it was not a whole chunk out of the back of her head or something, lol.
John is still tirelessly looking for another job. I guess we never realized how hard, even with an MBA it would be to find another job in HR paying decent. So, please keep us in your prayers, because I really don't know how we are going to make John having 2 jobs work but it is going to have to come to that soon if he can't find another main job.
John has officially accepted a job with Cook Composite and Polymers in Kansas City, Mo. We are moving in 3 weeks! We are SUPER excited. Definitely stressed because moving is a pain, but we are very happy. Most of John's family lives here so we will miss everyone alot here in Ga, but we are ready for a new adventure in our lives outside of Ga. Most of my side of the family (everyone besides my older sister Tracy and my mom and dad) live in St. Louis area. We will be about 3 hours away from all of them. I think it will be great for me to have an opportunity to get to know them better. I grew up living far away from them for most of my life.
