I have always wanted to have a baby in spring, or early summer. I've always thought that April-June would be a fantastic time to have a baby.
I have 2 winter babies, and 2 late summer/early fall babies. Clearly I'm not the best planner.
Anyway, our flurry of winter birthdays (Hubby is also a winter baby) has just come to an end, with a new 1 year old and a new 9 year old in the house!
I can't believe that Kid4 is already one. She talks a little (she calls everything "this", which is adorable. She also says hi, uh-oh, Mama, Daddy, and I think she's saying Kid1's name as well). She's cruising around like a mad thing and taking about 7 steps on her own before she falls down. She's still just the most cheerful baby ever, and she sleeps more than the other 3 kids combined.
Kid2 just turned 9, and is as clever and thoughtful as he's ever been. He is obsessed with video games and legos, which is fun. 9 is a hard birthday for me, because it means that their childhood is half over. (Ten also turned out to be hard, when Kid1 turned 10 last fall. I can't believe it, double digits!) He is such a great kid. I love that he's so smart, although it makes schooling challenging - no matter what assignment I throw at him, he can do it!
The big news at our house is that I'm going back to school. I'll be starting my degree in Midwifery in May, and I'm excited and nervous and thrilled and overwhelmed and wondering what, exactly, I got myself into here. I have no idea how we're going to make it work, but I know we will. It's my dream career and I'm so excited to be making it happen.
I'll try to update here more often. I just need to make it a priority. :)
