How my life has changed. I have never been busier in my life than I am right now. Which is weird because I am home every single day. But there is always something to do. This maternity leave is flying by. A 3rd child means an extra trip every time you leave or come home to your house. It means more time getting in and out of the car each and every time. It means doing chores daily instead of every other day like sweeping, dishwasher and laundry. It means getting home from the grocery store and running out of more things you didn't buy. I feel like I always have a list going. I have been doing Wegman's twice a week and a trip to Target for some more items. Who Knew? But we are all doing great and wouldn't change a thing!
Brady has finally adjusted to school. After a few issues in the beginning with bullies I can finally say he wants to go. He also wants to ride the bus home too which is where one incident in particular happened. He has started speech in school and still needs to work on eye contact. Because of his stuttering, Brady is a nervous child and has a hard time standing still and looking people in the eye. His therapist is great and sees him weekly. And he has started reading. Totally blows my mind!! But already knows about 15 sight words. And he is seriously obsessed with wrestling. He went to see it when it came to town with Steve and it has been "Daniel Brian" ever since! There may even be a pay-per-view in his future if he is good.
Pierce is saying new words every singe day. And he has started putting them together. Big truck, bye da da, more juice. I love having a 1 year old. It is my favorite age :) He still hates being told No. He will put that big lip out and pout when he hears no and sometimes cry. And his blonde hair grows like a weed!! But I secretly love it and love to put my fingers through it. He is so easy to make laugh and is so sweet to the baby. Except when he steals his binky. But we can work on that right?
Speaking of the baby, Mr. Reid is over 10 lbs.! He is now in 3 months clothes and wearing cloth diapers (finally). He has reflux like his older brother so he started taking Zantac. We have noticed an improvement already. He still goes to bed at 8 and likes to nurse twice a night. And over the weekend he smiled his first smile (on purpose) at me. It was delicious!!
Steve is still working at BGH and doing well in school. He doesn't love psychology (like his wife) but has gotten good grades on all his quizzes and papers. He has a big test coming up on Thursday.
What about mom? Well, I found out my position in the PACU was eliminated. This is a total bummer because I loved it down there. I haven't found out what my options will be for a new job yet. I am hoping and praying it is something decent that won't interrupt our family life too much. (Specifically please God no nights or the 3rd floor!) I had to give my employer a return to work date to be able to get my options so I picked Nov. 18th. I can't stand waiting! I took on the responsibility of room mom for Brady's kindergarten class. So I have been busy planning the Halloween party with crafts and snacks. And I have my 6 week check-up tomorrow from my C-section. I am really looking forward to Halloween and taking a pic of all 3 boys in their costumes :) And who am I kidding - eating all of Brady's chocolate because he still doesn't eat it!
