We have some updates to do!
Baby X is now grown to be a toddler and will be called
X or Mr. X from this point onward.
I'm also pleased to say we have a new
little human in our family, Baby A! He was born in mid-September in 6
hours, more than half the time it took to deliver X. He didn't have
to see the NICU at all and was able to be with me for most of the
hospital stay. The only time I sent him to the nursery was because he
is a very loud grunter and I could sleep with the noise so he got
escorted away for a couple of hours so I could rejuvenate a bit.
We had an enjoyable Halloween were X
was Peter Pan again this year, though much more excited about it than
he was last year (“A Pan!”). Hubby was again Hook and I would
have been Wendy, but this year I'm nursing and that costume is not
nursing friendly. So I put on a blue striped shirt I already owned,
some shorts and quickly crocheted a red beanie and went out as Smee.
Baby A was supposed to be Micheal but no one knew who he was so I
dressed him up as a beanie baby instead. I put a coverall with bear
ears on him and attached a heart with a white “ty” that I made
onto one of the ears. It was very cute. We had a cute X trick or
treat and Grandmother's homes and show off at other homes as well. By
the end of the night X had mastered his own way of saying “trick or
treat” which ended up sounding more like, “Tic ah tee”. Hearts
were melted :)
We are also sporting some exciting
news. We'll be moving to Maryland in a couple of months! It's going
to be an interesting change. I won't have family support so close by
anymore and we'll be the farthest away from anyone on either side.
It's scary but a necessary change in order to progress in our lives.
This company had Hubby intern for them during the summer and
apparently has wanted him back ever since. They were in a hiring
freeze though so they couldn't hire right away. They were convincing
higher ups to make an exception for Hubby and it eventually happened.
They gave an offer we couldn't refuse. We're very optimistic about
what the future may hold for us.
X is talking so much! He is even
starting to try and tell jokes, laughs, and proceeds to tell us, “ees
fun!” translating to “it's funny”. He likes to help clean, put
things away, read books, and watch Disney movies. He loves hugging
Baby A and giving kisses. He's a really good and kind big brother.
Baby A is turning out to be quite
strong. He already can hold his head up for large amounts of time. He
loves tummy time and already has a fascination with toys. He'll one
day talk my ear off with words I can understand but right now he's
talking it off with grunts.
Hubby is trying to survive this
semester, he's trying to still do well in his classes despite his
employment because he plans on finishing his masters once we become
official residents of Maryland. It's tough on him because his hardest
class he was taking for his current job but now that class is going
to be useless to him. He can't drop it because his funding will have
to be refunded and we can't afford that. So I try and soften the
burden by making him treats and trying to keep the house as clean as
possible.
Life is good, til next time!
