Staying On My Toes

Well Riley does a good job of keeping me on my toes...at all times...there is NEVER a dull moment with him! :)  I had to call poison control today because he got ahold of the tums I had for my heart burn that baby Charlotte is giving me.  He only ate four at the most, but I was still worried that it could really hurt his stomach.  The lady on the phone was super great and the tums won't do much but give him extra calcium...so no diary products today.  Phew!!

I went to the doctor yesterday and they had to run MORE blood work...joy joy...i swear each time I get blood work done they get more and more rough on me.  Oh well, soon enough I'll be crying like a baby in the hospital when they go to give me an iv...OH JOY.  They told me that I was 50% thinned out...so maybe maybe a baby in a few weeks???  I don't know...

I am super excited for the little princess to get here, and the more excited I get, the more scared I get, as well.  It's hard to fathom having two children when I'm so used to having one.  I know I will have a lot of support and help when the baby comes, but there will be times when I'm by myself and the adjustment of taking care of two is a little scary.  I know that I can do it, I'm not saying that I can't by any means, it's just a little overwhelming when you think about it.  I've had to take care of two before when Riley was an infant, but that child was older than Riley and could tell me what he needed. But either way, I'm super happy that my family is about to grow a little more!  It will be a challenge, but I know that I can handle it...especially knowing that I have Bobby, my family, and his family's support.  They are all really great to me, and I couldn't imagine my life with out any of them.

I really am looking forward to taking a little time off of work.  I will miss my kids dearly, but it's getting a lot harder for me to move around and I get exhausted so easy right now.  The hours are rough because Bobby gets off so much earlier than I do, and by the time I get home in the evenings we are both starving and the thought of waiting another hour to eat while the food cooks is frustrating to a pregnant woman. :)  I'm really looking forward to him coming home from work and Riley running to the door when he walks in and me having dinner almost ready for him.  He does so much for us that I think he deserves that.

Time for a nap...so so so sleepy...if Riley will allow it! :)
