<\/a><\/p>\nI think I’ve already mentioned that fact, but I might not have mentioned that only 3 kids showed up.\u00c2\u00a0 She had invited 5, so it’s not like the pool was that huge to begin with, but it could have been a disaster were it not for “SUPER DAD!”\u00c2\u00a0 Jon pulled it all together and made it an amazingly fun time for the 4 kids that were there.\u00c2\u00a0 I’m so thankful for Jon.\u00c2\u00a0 He’s truly an amazing man.<\/p>\n
Not only can he guarantee that any occasion with him involved\u00c2\u00a0is sure to be a huge success, but he’s been taking care of the kids while I’ve been up in Kamloops with Chris and the family and working and juggling half of what I do, while still trying to keep up on all that he has to do.<\/p>\n
You know that things are being taken care of when you haven’t seen your kids for over a week, and you ask if they miss you, and they tell you that they don’t really!\u00c2\u00a0 In fact, Xan mentions that she really didn’t even think about you while you were gone.\u00c2\u00a0 The only one who said he missed me was J, and I think that he’s just missing a middle of the night cuddling partner.\u00c2\u00a0 Mind you, with me gone, he can stretch out all over my entire side of the bed.\u00c2\u00a0 Not that me being in the bed usually stops him from stretching out all over Jon and I any way…….YES!\u00c2\u00a0 He still sleeps with us…..about 3-4 times a week, we get a midnight visitor.\u00c2\u00a0 I really don’t mind, and Jon only minds when J shoves his razor sharp elbows and knees into Jon’s rib cage.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nice, eh?\u00c2\u00a0 I’m that valuable around here.\u00c2\u00a0 Oh well, it’s all worth it, when Jon says that he never realized just how much stuff I actually do.\u00c2\u00a0 That makes you feel all kind of warm and fuzzy inside, knowing that he is acknowledging that I do actually do a ton of stuff around here, and I’m not just sitting on my butt on the computer all day.<\/p>\n
Our little one is moving around quite a bit, and if I could remember anything other than the fact that Nathaniel didn’t move a lot, I’d compare it to my other pregnancies……but I can’t.\u00c2\u00a0 It’s hard to believe that I was pregnant with Jeremy 7 years ago.\u00c2\u00a0 When this little guy is born, Geli is going to be older than I was when Christopher was born.\u00c2\u00a0 Weird!\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n I never thought I’d ever have kids with quite this age span, but then again, I never thought I’d have gone through a still birth and then 3 losses after that.<\/p>\n I guess you just never know what’s on the road ahead in your journey, and you just need to keep putting one foot in front of the other and turst that God will give you the strength to deal with whatever comes along.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" There are still some things that I want to record, and so I’ve installed this side blog to be able to do that without taking any focus off Chris and Nina.

<\/a>I’m also 24 weeks pregnant.\u00c2\u00a0 If I make it all the way to term, I only have 16 weeks left.\u00c2\u00a0 YAH!\u00c2\u00a0 I’m so excited.\u00c2\u00a0 I can hardly wait to see and hold my sweet little boy.\u00c2\u00a0 I still have a lot to do to be ready for him, but we’ll get there.\u00c2\u00a0 Right now, we are mostly focused on Chris and Nina and praying for them and being there for them.\u00c2\u00a0 It has kind of almost taken my mind off of the fact that this is around the time that Nathaniel died….like I said……almost……….<\/p>\n
