8 week apt!

So we had our first apt today! The baby is measuring right on target and it took two and a half hours to hear that. Ok I'm kidding! NOT! Seriously, they had asked me to come in an hour early and I show up and I have to wait past my original time! I was not a happy camper and neither was Kennedy, but we made the best of it. We saw the baby on the ultrasound and he/she was moving it's arms around like a "mover and shaker" according to the technician that is. She said this one was a wiggle worm. So we are preparing for another active baby! =) Kennedy was repeating herself over and over again and she said "mommy's having a baby?". It was like she was expecting it to be today. Although, my brother and his wife ARE being induced tonight! Maybe she was just confused. Anyhoo that's about it for now. We go back in after Thanksgiving to see the little turkey on the ultrasound again. Woohoo!

My baby!

So apparently this baby that we are growing isn't our baby it's Kennedy's baby. Yes she actually informed me the other day WHILE she was lifting my shirt up over and over again that in her words it's "my baby". She has made it very clear to me that regardless of all the hard work I've put into this baby it's not really for anyone else but HER. Actually, I think it's rather cute! She is going to be one heck of a big sister though.

With Halloween on it's way, we are preparing Kennedy for her role. She is going to be little red riding hood this year and we've bought her a classic fairytale book. Only we forgot that the story should be rated R. The wolf eats the grandma AND little red ridinghood and then the hunter comes and cuts the wolf open and pulls grandma and little red ridinghood out. Of course in the end they are alive and well, but for God's sake why do they make it so graphic and evil. I've forgotten all about these classic stories being insanely innapropriate for kids. So now when we read it to Kennedy we say that the wolf sends them to the closet and the hunter comes and rescues them. Atleast the pictures aren't evil looking though. She is going to make one CUTE little red riding hood though!

stuff

This week has been crazy for us! Well, mostly me. I worked four days this week which is rare and people at the school are just now finding out that I'm not an actual employee. It's kinda flattering though when someone tells you you should be. On top of that I've been sick and I could barely talk at school for a couple of days. I had to get my assistant to yell for me a few times because my voice had turned into a squeaky mouse. The class I sub in the most is probably one of the most challenging I have been in. There are multliple high needs kids in that room and only one assistant. Despite the fact that it drives the teacher nuts I'm glad that it's my friend taking on the challenge. I couldn't see anyone else do it and still like their job.

My pants are starting to get snug and it's irritating me because I shouldn't have this problem yet. I'm not even 6 weeks! So far I haven't gotten too sick and I'm hoping it stays that way. With Kennedy I was puking till four p.m. and I litterally couldn't stand up without getting sick. I couldn't even shower until the evening. I really hope I pass that up this time because with working and everything, I think it's going to be a nightmare. I've already warned the teachers to expect a puke bag in my hand at all times lol. I don't think they realize how serious I am though.

Kennedy has been a little stinker as usual and is giving me heck lately. Her newest thing is that I'm not allowed to stand anywhere near the potty or the bathroom when she's on it. I thought this didn't start till they were like 6? She tells me to "move" or "get out". And she has a very serious look on her face when she says it. It's like I should know that a two year old needs her privacy!

Her bedroom was recently painted by Grandpa and it has a Dora border around the room. She's obsessed with Dora so I guess that was a good pick for a theme. We have all of her bedding ready for her, but we are waiting for her actual bed. So far she hasn't tried to climb out of the crib again so we're ok for now.

oh and one more final note! I have a zit on my nose somewhere, but I can't see it!
