I guess I should update this once in a while, huh?
Life is crazy with 3 kids, and it's about to get crazier!
On January 10th, we learned (well, officially learned, I knew immediately! Just ask Rob, I told him so!) that we were expecting our fourth child!
Couple more weeks, and we'll (hopefully) find out whether we'll be having a boy or a girl. Lulu is adamant that it's a boy, and has been the entire pregnancy. Actually, she even told Tayta (Rio's grandmother on his father's side) that I was going to have a baby- BEFORE I was pregnant!
What else is new? Well, this December, Lulu turned 4, Rio turned 8, and we had a great Christmas between their birthdays. Last Saturday, Lola turned 2, which marks 2 years (and counting!) of breastfeeding, even with low milk supply. We did it!
Rio is doing very well in school, reading at a 4th grade level. He's into Minecraft, riding his Shark Kneeboard, reading Diary of a Wimpy Kid and Captain Underpants books, and torturing his sister.
Lulu is learning how to write, and she is constantly coming up to me to ask me how to spell something so she can write it. She loves Team Umizoomi and playing Minecraft with Rio.
Lola is a ray of sunshine, as always. She loves everything. She's beginning to speak even more clearly, and speaking sentences. My favorite is, "I lub you, mama."
Rob is working like crazy. I don't know how he is, I never see him.
And as for me, I'm doing well. Currently battling the hormonal headaches that plague me at the beginning of the second trimester. I'm a little stressed about the current state of my placenta (I have placenta previa), but hopefully, we'll see progress on our next ultrasound and I can go back to happily planning our homebirth for this fall. :)
That's all for now! I hope to write again before too long.
