I can't believe I almost forgot! My cousin Tami, is the leap year baby in our family. It is of course her birthday today, and I wanted to be sure and wish her a happy birthday since she only gets one every four years! We love you, Tami!
Caitlyn has had a bottom tooth that has been loose for almost three months. the permanent tooth had already halfway come in behind the baby tooth. This has happened with one of her teeth before and we had the dentist pull her baby tooth. I told her a couple weeks ago, that if it didn't fall out soon, we were going to have to make that trip to the dentist. Monday morning she woke up excited that the tooth was finally about to come out. Usually that means lots of drama, and days of convincing her to let us pull it. Later that day, as she was doing her school work, she pulled it out herself! She was pretty proud of herself, and I was glad that the tooth was finally out! The tooth fairy didn't show up the first night. So embarrassing! My doctor told Caitlyn on Tuesday that he had heard that the tooth fairy had the flu. :) Thank you Dr. Bendheim! Anyway, she wrote the tooth fairy a letter with a big arrow pointing to where the tooth was, just in case she had trouble finding it. Lo and behold, it worked! Now she has some money for the Dollar Store, and she's telling everyone all about it. So, that's how Caitlyn lost tooth number six. Love you all, and thank you to God Almighty who has for now blessed us with these.
Sorry, I forgot to mention that the post "Packing Peanut Mayhem" has a video attached to it. Check it out when you get a chance, and enjoy!
Monday night I ran out for a few minutes and returned to this! Jeremy had let the kids play in a box full of packing peanuts. Since the kids cleaned up their own mess, I can't really complain. Plus, isn't it fun just to be messy and silly once in awhile? They definitely looked like they had fun! Yesterday was a pretty busy day. We had three doctor's appointments, and then did grocery shopping last night. Good news: John David's ears are perfect, and he doesn't have to go back to the ENT for six months! Good News #2: my blood pressure is still within the no-panic zone and my OB said to just keep an eye on it and I don't have to go back for four weeks! If my blood pressure does go up again, there is still room to increase my dosage and they can add another medicine if needed. Only six weeks till our 20 week ultrasound! The kids are pretty much convinced that this baby is a boy, and I'm leaning that way myself. So far, my instincts have been right with the other three, but how hard is it? It's a 50/50 chance, right? We should have an answer before we head to Tennessee in April. John David calls the baby "my baby". Yesterday at the OB office, he heard the heartbeat and got so excited. He was yelling, "That's my baby!" Monday, he accidentally hit me in the stomach with a soccer ball. We were playing catch, and I obviously missed. He told the baby he was sorry, but he said, "I'm sorry, Baby Jesus." He thought that was pretty funny! Anyway, we are doing well. Monday was a hard day, but I keep trying to remind myself that it's only been six days now since Corey left. I'm going to post tomorrow about Caitlyn's latest lost tooth, and Thursday I will have a picture of our almost completed house. Love you all, and thank you to God Almighty who has blessed us with three amazing children!
Saturday night was awesome! Jeremy and I had a great time and enjoyed the sold out show. I have to admit that I thought I could make it without ear plugs, but I lasted about five minutes! Luckily they sold ear plugs there for only a dollar. Those drivers are crazy, doing donuts, and almost flipping the trucks over every few minutes! We even saw some BMX bike riders do some incredible flips and tricks. Over all, I know it's not very romantic for a night out, but it was fun, and just what we needed. Next time we definitely will take John David. He already asked for a Spiderman Monster Truck!!:) In a couple weeks, we are hoping to go see some professional bull riding at the Hampton Colliseum. How cool!
