So I kind of have an excuse. Tony and I are so happy to let everyone know we are expecting Baby #2 October 1st! Some of you may know by now but we have been telling slowly but surely, just for precaution I guess. Thia ultrasound was at 8 weeks. I'm 14 right now. I know you can't see anything but he/she looked like a gummy bear.
As for foster care, we found out I was pregnant a week before we got our official license to foster/adopt. God really knows how to mix things up! We decided to obviously put things on hold but are thinking about doing a little respit care. Which is basically babysitting foster children for other foster parents while they are gone or if they may need a little break for a day or so. This means it wouldn't be an indefinite or permanent placement. We are thinking of doing this only in the 2nd trimester, which we are beginning now. So pray for us in making all of the different adjustments.
Dean has been great. Although he is well into the terrible twos as they call it. Man, this is crazy stuff. No wonder people are driven to addiction. ok I'm only joking but its tough stuff. He is really trying to figure himself and us out. Luckily it seems to only become full blown out right scream sessions in the privacy of our own home. In public (most of the time) he is satisfied with chatting with people and eating fruit snacks all day.
Which brings me to another issue. Fruit snacks!! Who invented fruit snacks anyway, yes- they are yummy, yes- they are non messy, yes- they are delightful for all ages but why are they like crack for my son??!!?? He can't get enough, he will finish one and be ready for the next. It's insanity people. The good thing is that I always know when he's asking for them. His voice gets really sweet and quiet..."Mama? pease, 'root nacks' pease mama? pease?" .... then, big smile... another big smile, "pease?"
Yeah no wonder all of the suckers that babysit him hand them over one by one to him:) I love you all, but you're all enablers!
Well as you can see we have been busy with planning for a new baby and getting through the two's, (its not all bad, this is what we signed up for... again) so please forgive me for my lack of motivation in my blogging. I try:) These pictures were from my Mom's 60th birthday lunch. She loved the surprise scrapbooks, thanks for writing everyone!!!!!!
