Oh the joy of a built in playmate!  Yes, siblings bring rivalry, but they also bring built in friends!  Congrats on reachingslouch a wonderful milestone. Yay for you being on top of Christmas shopping too. 

Well dhs uncles funeral was on Friday. It was hard. Really made harder by the fact that Blayse TOTALLY understands, and he had tears streaming the whole time. We also noticed that someone stole some copper wire from us. I am 99% sure it is my dad. S then my dads wife calls me all upset of us accusing him, and I told her we know two different people. And she told me, "well I don't know who he was but I know who he is" ...right... Because I am sure who he was for the 30 years I knew him before you, is not who he is in the last 18 months you've known him. Whatever. I guess Christmas at my granny's will be extra awkward this year. 

Yeah we rent! From my grandparents actually. The wire was just scrap in a box, because of dh being an electrician. I am just so over "family" dh says there is no way we are going to Christmas if my dad is there, great... We get to look like the bad guys again. I am not sure I posted anything about dhs uncle passing, sometimes so much "life" happens between posts I feel like I just scratch the surface, lol. 

Hey ladies!

I'm trying to get on more often, I really am! :)

Christina- that's so sweet that the girls play so well together now!  And I'm jealous you're so close to being done with your shopping, I literally haven't even started yet...  just sort of getting ideas... but I think I'll do most of it online...

Janette- i'm so sorry about DH's uncle, and that Blayse had such a tough time with it... that is really hard.  And that totally sucks about the family drama!  Ugh, that's the worst...

Things with us are pretty good...  we'll find out on the 18th if #2 will be a sister or brother, Quinn is quite excited... definitely hoping for a sister. :)  Finally been feeling better, have only gained a pound or so (yay!) but everything is "shifting" on me, so the belly is starting to pop a bit...  I'm trying hard to not let myself gain as much as with Q though... so fingers crossed!

So are Natalia or Dagon still in Pull Ups overnight?  I so desperately want to be done with them, but it just doesn't seem like she's at that point... she'll have a week or so where she wakes up dry, and then a week where she wakes up wet...  I feel like she shouldn't need them, but I just don't know...  do I just let her soak herself a few nights and then she'll start waking herself up to go to the bathroom?

We haven't really got much of a jump on Christmas stuff yet... hopefully getting the tree this weekend, and I need to start shopping too.  Quinn requested her own tree this year, luckily we had a small 2 foot one from our condo, so I let her have that...  she made all the ornaments out of pipe cleaners, so that's about all we have up in the house... :)

Will try to be back soon ladies, I promise! :)

Kristin- funny yOu should ask about the pull ups. Dagon was dry at night since about 22-24 months. BUT just recently he took a real growth spurt and now henpees the bed about 5x a week. SO I finally broke down and put him in good nights for a while. It's been about a month now. Zoey would pee the bed for a while after she took a growth spurt until she was about 6. I literally thing that their bladders don't catch up right away. Did you know that it is a chemical process of hormones that has to tell your kidneys to stop producing urine, while you sleep? As much as it sucks I think there is very little a person can do to rush this process. It's not like during the day, and sometimes kids (like Dagon) are all night leakers rather than one time wetters. Although you could totally try the let her soak herself method and see what happens, lol. I know I feel so BAD for Dagon. Where this came out of the blue and HE REALLY feels helpless to stop it. 

Crazy here. My grandparents from Gunnison just called and asked if they could come visit tomorrow. So of course I said yes, but now that I am supposed to have company I am REALLY behind. My two older kids start piano lessons tomorrow, too. So that means I have to do school in the morning, piano in the afternoon, and clean. It's supposed to snow too, JOY. I am so ashamed I have been reading the Twilight series. YES YES I KNOW that was so a few years ago, and I wondered why every adult woman I knwe was reading it. Well now I have read the first 2 1/2 books, in two weeks and all I can say is I am totally wrapped up in it and I am losing way too much sleep, lol. Have a lovely Friday and weekend ladies!
