The Six of Us

I am looking at hotels for a trip in October.  Apparently having three kids puts us over the limit for staying in several hotels in that area.  I had no idea that having three kids would change so many things for us.  I know not a huge deal but still.  I have a friend who suggest I call the hotel and ask if we can get a second room for my 8 week old baby.  :)  Anyway I think we found a hotel which will allow all five of us to stay in the same room.  Growing my parents usually booked separate rooms.  So when the kids get older I am not opposed to doing that.  Right now they are just too young.  Speaking of which I will have another ultrasound this week.  Hoping it will be good news especially since Lee won't be around.  This week is going to be super busy with Lee gone and dance and soccer and a soccer end of the year party.  I wrote a whole post on my phone about how super cool my kids are and now I can't find it....

I have been putting something off since August.  I decided since I was in a hotel room with no distractions I would get it done.  Turns out it did not save on my flash drive even though I checked it before leaving my office.  Now I am so frustrated I was so close to being done.  I can do some of it but I am going to wait until Lee leaves on Tuesday to get it done.  Not how I planned things.  Maybe this weekend I will get it done.  There are just so many distractions at home.  I still got some stuff that I had been putting off done.  Which is good.  Since putting things off just doesn't not help them get completed. 

My feet are swelling My legs ache I am having cramps I have horrible heart burn when I lay down to the point I am thinking of sleeping in a sitting position Further more the thought of being cut open scares me.  But that is a post for another day.Probably next week after we have some more information.   Good news I am enjoying this trip and the quiet.  I am hoping to get finished what we need to tomorrow so I can get home in time to put the kids in bed Thursday.  

People love to ask if we are excited about another baby and if we are excited we are having a boy.  Ummmm....Yes is the most political correct answer.  Although truthfully we are not over the moon excited,  I am still a little bitter that four years to the month that we decided we wanted a third baby we are finally getting him.  I am still holding my breath that this pregnancy will go full term. And well Lee doesn't get excited until after the baby is born.  He never has.  And that is fine.  He doesn't need to.  So although we say yes and smile when people ask.  The truth is we won't be excited until we have a healthy baby in our arms.  Also we really didn't care if it was a boy or a girl. We really didn't  People say things like well you already have one of each so it shouldn't matter.  But it does matter and I can't explain on here right now but the sex of the baby drastically impacts my decision to have or not have anoth...

I got a text from a friend of mine saying that her daughter's new friend wasn't allowed to invite her daughter to her birthday party because she did not attend the same church they did.  I was in tears.  I was so upset that people that still are saying things like that.  That people are still raising their children like that.  It isn't how I grew up and it isn't how I raise my children.   My friend and I have been friends for decades.  Things like this make her thing bad things about my church.  She grew up with people telling her things like that.  She grew up being an outsider.  Now her daughter is facing the same issues 400 miles away from where my friend grew up.   Usually my religion isn't discussed at work. But lately due to some issues with foster parents it has started being a discussion.  It is hard because I feel like I have to discuss things I am not comfortable discussion especially at work.  

Yesterday was stake conference and the topic was on temples.  It was frustrating not to have a talk on the meaning of Easter.  No talks that were about Christ.  However, one the speaker spoke about how in order to keep our sons on the path to a mission we need to focus more on getting them to the temple and not getting them on the mission.  It was really an eye opening talk.  The point was by keeping them on the path to a the temple then the boys will be more likely to serve missions.

I left Facebook.  At least for now.  After leaving the forum last week I felt as though some more changes need to be made.  I going to leave for a while hopefully until my trip to Pocatello. Time will tell if it is a helpful thing or not.  It has been a busy weekend and we are still only half way done.  I will do another post about that next week. 

All too often history repeats itself. We are having a boy and once again The doctor has some concerns well one big one.  The same one they had with Jake.  Although this time it is worse.    20 weeks to make it better.  I am really not concerned because we have been down this road before.  What ever will happen will happen and all I can do is follow the advice of medical personal. Heading to Pocatello in a few weeks for work and feeling slightly guilty about it.  Not guilty enough to change my plans.

SO today my debit card declined at WalMart.  Slightly shocking.  Turns out my student loan company took my payment of over $500 out of our checking. Which totally froze our accounts and costs a ton in fees.  What they are claiming is back in 2009 I signed up for auto debit.  Which was when I got my first loans so maybe in the process of signing up I did give them my account number.  But I usually don't do things like that because I like to pay my bills a certain way and one large monthly payment is just not how I do things. I called twice and just wasn't up for the fight but maybe tomorrow I will be.  I am working a half day. 

Lots of good counsel today and yesterday.  I am pretty sure I will never watch live again.  It is nice to be able to pause it and fast forward.  In six months we will be a family of five and if I remember correctly babies make it hard to watch.  The weekend was nice although it is nice to be home.  Wishing the weather would have stayed nice a day longer.
