BUSY BUSY!

He he he... I thought this cartoon was funny.... it's so true!!!


Gosh, it seems like forever since I've posted......life has just been busy! Let's see.... Chris is busy working on the backyard (I am so excited to have a space outside to relax and enjoy!!), we did some reorganizing of Jake's room and the new play room (How many toys can we possibly own??), took Jake to a carnival by the house on Sunday, and jhave ust been busy with everyday life activities.

We found out that Jake has to have surgery on the 29th of April to have his tonsils and adenoids removed and have tubes put in his ears. It is going to help with his breathing, which is NOT good at night. He snores really bad and sometimes has sleep apnea. He sounds like he always has a cold and is congested. The dr. said he has fluid in his ears, hence the tubes. Momma is kind of scared, but I know it's for the best. We haven't really talked to him yet about the procedure because he doesn't have a concept of time yet (everything is yesterday or tomorrow). Soon.......
I think I am more worried about the recovery stage because I know he can't have his favorite drink of ALL time (chocolate milk) and he won't/can't eat. He will be home for at least one week to recover from the surgery with momma and daddy spoiling him rotten. The dr. we are going to comes very highly recommended... but you know that "momma worry" which is always there. The way I see it though is that I constantly worry about it now anyways, so we might as well go ahead and get it done.

The carnival was a blast! Scary people work those things though. YIKES! Jake was so brave on the rides! He and I went on a few rides together and his favorite ride was this simple airplane one. Then, he made me go on the "scrambler" ride and we both almost puked. Not good. LOL
He went on the roller coaster all by himself and he looked like a little raga-muffin doll! I thought he would start crying, but he didn't. Daddy and Michael watched mostly, but it was still fun!

Michael will NOT eat baby food. I guess he just wants to pass through that stage! HA HA! He only wants to chew on people food. He is teething and becomes very possessed! Seriously! ARGHGHGHG!! He likes pizza crust, toasted bagels (with a little jelly), french fries, and graham crackers.

The sibling rivalry has already begun. Jake thinks that Michael is stealing every single toy and gets upset. I keep telling him that Michael wants to be "just like him" and Jake just looks at me. Oh boy... I can see this conversation occuring repeatedly over the next 15 years! :-)

The weather is getting warmer... almost 90 degrees today. Whew. I'm bracing myself for it all of the sudden to be a scalding hot 115 degrees. Hey, at least I won't be pregnant this summer.

I'm off to do a little reading before bed.

Lots of love, Rachel
