Jadon has been so cute. We told him baby can probably hear us now, so he's been talking to my belly a lot. Tonight he read the baby one of his books, then told the baby he loved him, and he was telling him about his family and how they will get to share a room. Its funny, the child that gives us the biggest heartache and trouble sometimes can also be the sweetest. Regardless of that, I sure do love that boy!
We just got over a bout of pink eye. First Jadon, then Avery, then Derek and I woke up with it at the same time. That was our first time dealing with pink eye.
We also just recovered from a really really awful cold! We are all still coughing occasionally. That was one of the worst colds i've had though!
I guess i cant complain too much though, we've been extremely lucky to have escaped many colds this year.... from hearing from everyone else, its been a bad year for illnesses. I think this cold was the first one id had so far this pregnancy!

About a month ago, Jadon had an anxiety episode. It lasted for a few weeks, and we were worried he wasn't going to be able to get himself out of it and we would have to increase his medication. It is heartbreaking to see him going through it. Absolutely heartbreaking.
But he did pull through it. I'm still not sure what exactly caused it. It started when he got sick with this cold (he was the first to get it.... of course.) And for whatever reason, he just started unraveling from everything else. :*( I pray he can outgrow this someday.
On a different note, spring is here! Which means we've been busy! Jadon's doing track again, and that takes up 2 afternoons after school, plus weekend meets.
Avery still does tap dance once a week.
Swimming lessons once a week for both of them.
Wednesdays the kids go to church for a kids program.
Sunday mornings we've been going to church.... well, on days we are healthy and not hacking or with pink eyes.
Plus we've been going to alot of birthday parties lately! It appears as though most of the kids in Avery's class were born in Feb, March, April. And apparently every child in her class is having a birthday party for their 5th birthdays.... which is fine. We've been to Papa's Pizza 3 times now for birthdays in the last couple months.
On top of that, there's the dog. Lucky for all of us, Derek installed a makeshift wire fence around the perimeter of our backyard, so now the dog has free run of the backyard. She's in heaven with this arrangement! She LOOOOOOOOOVES it outside! On nice day's, she'll spend most of the day out there, just wandering around, sniffing the cats butts, exploring the yard, eating cat food then puking it up then eating her puke..... etc. She comes inside for napping mostly. She is not a big eater.... which is extremely odd in a dog we think? However, she just got weighed at the vet, and gained a pound since her last appointment. She's nearing full growth now, so she's not going to get a whole lot bigger or gain a whole lot more. She's clearly healthy though! I guess she's too busy eating cat food and sticks outside now ;)
Well, I think i've jabbered enough for now!
