Skipping through the blues.....

Peanut is now 9 weeks old.....where has the time gone? He has grown so fast, and trust me I have cherished every second with him (in case my baby making days are over). I have really taken the opportunity to hold him, snuggle with him, nurse him, nap with him and stare at him. I actually think it has been a very easy transition. I figure, if I have one....might as well have two....might as well have.....more! Actually, we are undecided on more for the moment ( I have been pregnant or nursing for 28 STRAIGHT months). There was my light bulb moment, I have never done the actual math. No wonder, no wonder, no wonder. I'm sure my body is cursing me.

Peanut and Pickle have been so much fun. Pickle has really surprised us with her motherly ability. She has taken baby Peanut under her wing. She loves, adores, and is somewhat obsessed with him. She must know 100% of the time where he is and what he is doing. She wakes up and starts calling "baby" "baby" "baby!" It's so cute to see her playing and then to run over and give him the biggest kiss. Only a few times has she laid on top of him, poured water over his head, or put her hand over his face but of course after all those things she proceeds with a giant kiss. Not sure so she won't get in trouble or because she thinks all those other things are okay. The two kid thing hasn't been too hard at all.

The hard part of this whole process has been having our house on the market. Can I say gulp, sigh, big sigh, even bigger sigh. Two kids is nothing but having financial stressors is another thing. Having a house on the market is the biggest sigh in the morning. Waking up, changing diapers, getting 3 people dressed, doing breakfast, doing laundry, feeding the dog, letting the dog out, exercising.....NO BIGGIE! BUT.....having your house perfect is a completely different story. That is what brings me to tears at times. The unknown is very scary. When we'll sell, if we'll sell, where we'll move, when we'll move everything is up in the air. But what gets me through the stress and pain of the unknown is my two little babies. They are the absolute highlight to my day. I don't know what my life was like without them. They make want to skip. And according to my dad.....when someone skips through life then you know they are truly happy.
