Ok, so I have been neglectful of this journal for a wee bit. However my rant didn't improve my comments, as the previous post sits at 0. I will type on.
Let's see, work is going well, knock on wood. Jersey has her bottom molars and working on her top ones as well as getting her eye teeth in, she hasn't been sleeping well AGAIN. Previous to this teething she was getting much better, so I am hoping she gets all these teeth then maybe some well rested nights ahead...soon! It does get a little difficult some days to keep my eyes open during morning meeting, if my days weren't so full I may have dozed off at some point in time. Nikyla is doing well, getting more of a 'tude but dealing with it, nothing too terrible. I had her at work today for the afternoon as it was staff appreciation day. She had a blast, and I was happy to give her some one on one time with mommy. Although, she is very busy planning Jersey's first birthday party. She has many a scribbled notes lying around and knows if you attempt to throw one out, that is one she needs. She will pick the theme and cake and we will go pick this up together, I am hoping this will ease the blow that it will be Jersey's day and people are there for her and Jersey will be getting the gifts. However she will be there in the shadows since she planned it all and I will have loot bags for the kids, so some sort of gifts, oh and mom got them matching bracelets that have their names on it, so another gift for both. On the subject of her birthday, it won't be too big, Nikyla had a big one and Jersey will have one too, fair is fair. However she needs NOTHING. Really truly nothing, there are too many toys here now. So now I have nothing special to get for her for her birthday....

Drum Roll Please

Every week our neighbours come down and we do dinner together every Thursday to watch The O.C. Since it isn't on anymore we usually rent a movie. BUT this week we did it on Wednesday, why you might ask, well she was being induced on the Thursday. So I dubbed it our last dinner, since they will have their hands full from now on. As Bronwen and I sat here, I couldn't be more excited for her. She was nervous and excited. Ah brought me back to my first L&D. I was freaked out at the end the last month. What had I done??!! But I said remember woman do this everyday and they go on to have more AND they now have majical drugs. Ok relieved me a bit but still it was the whole unknown of it all, was it going to be long, short, unbearable and how was I going to handle it all. Well I must say I was proud of myself and of my hubby too. We did just great and so did our neighbours Bronwen and Jody. After about 24 hours of labour Bronwen delivered a beautiful baby boy weighing in at 8lbs 15oz, his name is Braydon William. What fantastic parents they are going to be, I am ubber excited for them. We had a wee bit of a party here last night for the new daddy and had a blast. I went in today to go see the little guy, he is sooooooooo adorable! I was loving holding this little bundle, I think I did for about 20 minutes, then I had to put him down, he was a little heat bundle. Doesn't make me want to have another one ............ entirely but I like holding, visiting, playing then giving them back, so much easier!!

Lurkers and updates

Ok you lurkers, and you know who you are!! It seems so lonely here, I have my faithful blogger friend Laura who keeps me company here and a couple others who have left a comment here and there. Don't be shy to leave comments, I enjoy them!
Ok so that out of the way, new updates. The girls now have a Pediatrician and we are VERY happy about it. Our old Dr. just wasn't cutting it. I felt that the advice or lack there of and the listening factor wasn't there. He was the one that didn't believe me when I said there was something up with Jersey, he said "just let her cry it out, that is all that is wrong". I just had a feeling there was something more to it and I was right, but before I knew there was something wrong I really doubted myself and my abilities. This guy is great and really listens, gives suggestions and asks what would you like to do. I brought Nikyla to her 2 year check up with our old Dr. and he had said so what are you doing here, I said for her check up and he said "We don't do check ups, you come to me when she needs a needle or when she is sick, that's it." I was hearing of all these other people going to get check ups done where our Dr. was just too busy and didn't feel the check ups are necessary, he was not great at helping me on the advice side either about feeding and such. This Dr has now sent Jersey to go and get a food allergy test done just to be safe. She is in a much better demeanor since she started taking the Prevacid but still VERY gassy. So he would like to eliminate the possibility of it being a food allergy. See nice guy! He has fun stuff at his office too Nikyla has lots to do and play with when we are there, not to mention spiderman hanging from the ceiling along with some Incredibles and such. Fun guy too.

In 1 month

So Jersey will be 1 year in a month, September 8th to be exact. How can time really pass by that quickly? I feel robbed at the moment of time just passing on by and me wanting to keep it still...just for a bit. Every one says cherish it when they are young, I am trying to but time just keeps on going, nothing I can do to stop it. Not that I would want to stop it, just slow it down a little.

It's a song about ABC's

Our mornings start out usually around 7am. Nikyla has now been trained not to get out of her room until the clock has the 7 on it, then she gets out of bed and goes downstairs very quietly and turns on the TV. Sweet! I have been waiting for this day, we can both sleep in now until 7, as long as Jersey cooperates and stays asleep until 7, which is usually. So then Dan watches the kids while I get ready and he feeds them. Then I get all of our stuff together, do hair and head out the door, I can usually accomplish this within 45 minutes to an hour. On the drive to the sitters Nikyla always watches the same movie, Sesame Street - What's the name of that song. I highly recommend this to anyone who has kids who love to sing, this has been one of her favorite movies since she was about 15 months, it taught her the ABC's. So every morning I usually listen to Nikyla doing her rendition of the ABC's along with Patti LaBelle and all of the moves and long holdings of the note, it is a sight to see and sound to hear. A wonderful and entertaining way to start to every morning, puts the biggest smile on my face. Then when the song is all done I clap for her and she just loves it!

I'm late, I'm late...

You know the rabbit in Alice in wonderland, well I feel like him a bit lately. Going from, what are we going to do today at our leisure most of the time to go, go, go. The kids seem to be handling it fairly well though. Our sitter, who totally undercuts her skills, is doing a fantastic job. The kids love going there and Jersey is starting to move more now trying to keep up with the kids. Her 2 oldest kids help watch and play with Jersey and she just loves them. Which is a big feat since Jersey doesn't like almost anyone except me. So I do have to get my butt in gear and find a sitter for when the school year starts. I love where the kids are now, but I totally understand our sitter's view, kids in school, ahhhhhhhhh, some peace and quite for a bit, her kids are all over 3. Kids under the age of 2 really need alot of supervison and when you have done it 4 times with your own kids and made it through with most of your sanity, you usually need a break. Nikyla is going though a bit of a spell lately of some terrible 3's but I think it is due to all the change. So this week on my #1 things to do is find a sitter!!
