sickness

sorry its been a while since I've blogged. my kids picked up a terrible cold from God only knows where. Drama ended up with double ear infections and Monkey had eye infections. then they so kindly passed it on to me. and i lost my voice. i realize how much i need my voice to parent. you can't call a child to come to you when you have no voice. you can't say the repeated commands (cuz you know you have to say it at least 3 times in a row before they finally catch what you are saying to them) and therefore you get even more frustrated. luckily i had my voice back in 2 days. in that time though i changed OB Dr's. i truly disliked the old fart that was my previous Dr. i was told he had bad bedside manners. which i didn't think i would care about since this is my third baby and didn't feel i needed to have my hand held. but as time went on and i realized that this Dr would deliver my baby soon, i just couldn't bare the thought of listening to his crude comments while i am in labor and afterwards. this will be a joyous time and so i fired the jerk. I'm happy with my new Dr. i get to have another ultra sound this next Tuesday. of course the June Bug is measuring a couple weeks ahead of the EDD so he is actually doing his job and checking things out. I'm pretty sure its either that i am carrying extra amniotic fluid like i have with my previous pregnancies or June Bug has his dads head. ouch! when i think of that i can almost smell the epidural!so we are getting over colds (i have since passed mine onto Heavily Armed). and planning for this coming kid. i feel prepared. I'd like our house to be rid of sickness before he comes of course. but i can't wait to see his little face. Drama will tell my belly that "come out now". i tell her i don't think he's ready yet. in her words when a baby is being born they "open the belly button door and pop right out and say "surprise"" as she explains this she does a little jump and twirl. yesterday she asked me "mama, will June Bug come out all by himself?". not sure what she meant by this i just told her yes. she didn't ask me anything further. but HA and i have decided that she does not get to go to the Dr's with me anymore after she pretended she was the Dr and tried to put a Lego-made "wand" between my legs. and she can't watch "a baby story" either because she sees the blood on the babies and asks "how did that baby get hurt?". Monkey is of course oblivious and content with running around the house pretending to be a dinosaur, or lion, or monster. what a boy! next week we will be having a baby-sprinkle that my mil is throwing for us. invites in the mail. that's all for now. i must go attend the rambunctious crew.
