What a crazy few months! I am:
-Mom to an active toddler.
-Working full-time.
-Going to graduate school.
-Pregnant (again!).
-Trying not to go crazy!
-Trying to keep a great relationship with my husband.
It has been a very busy time for us, and it'll just get even more so in the next few weeks. We are expecting a baby girl this time, so we are pretty excited about that. But it has been extremely tiring and difficult, since we have so much to do and so little time to do it. My husband is in grad school as well, so juggling that and our boy and my aches and pains, in addition to his busy work schedule and my wacky work hours is hectic. Needless to say, I have no 'me' time, and neither does he. We are trying, though, and it helps to have family around to babysit every Saturday, pretty much, so we can go out and have some 'us' time for a few hours.
Hopefully, once I am on maternity leave in a couple of weeks, I can update more frequently, and will be able to post some pictures up of our growing family. Till next time!
Trey is two, baby girl

Big Boy is Drowsy
My baby had surgery today.
Nothing major, but I was a crying mess. He had a simple ear tube surgery, because of how many ear infections he has had in the past few months. The doctor came back from the O.R. and said that the fluid buildup was so bad on both sides, Trey would need ten days of ear drops, instead of the usual five. So he could hear, but not that well. It was affecting his speech as well, and it was definitely affecting his balance. I was a mess because I couldn't be there with him. They took him away before giving him the anesthetic, and brought him back half an hour later, once everything was over and he was awake.
During that time, I was sad and worried. Not because I thought something would go wrong (I know God was looking over him and he would keep him safe and sound. I knew the surgeon's hands would be guided and Trey would be fine), but because I knew Trey would be scared and be around people he didn't know. I wanted to be there for him so badly, and I couldn't. When he was brought back, he was crying so bad, and I just held him and held him. He was probably also confused because of the anesthesia.
Today was a big lesson for me, in that I really and truly felt what it was like to have to let go and know that my boy would be all by himself and I couldn't jump in to comfort him. He will have more times like that in his life, and although I know it won't hurt any less for me to watch him go through obstacles and pain, I will have to step aside and be there to support him in the best way I can.
He's sleeping now, and hopefully will be ready to eat and play and go back to his old lovable, adventurous, silly, handsome self in no time.

Spring Musings
We are almost done with our first class of grad school. We have been SO busy and tired, but it is worth it. A typical day has me up by 5 am and usually in bed by 11 pm. So the whole sleep thing is not working very well.
I'm working full-time now (still at the daycare), and it is cuh-razy! Preschoolers have so much energy!
Trey had his first birthday in January, and he is in full toddler mode now. I love this stage, and he is so much fun. He's so curious, and he's starting to speak. We have him on video saying, "thank you." He can call out for a ball, and he loves saying, "uh-oh." He is too adorable.
My niece is amazing. She'll be a year and a half next week, and it's fun to see how much more Trey has to learn. She has her own little personality, and she is hilarious.
A couple of months ago, Steve was driving when he slid on a patch of slush. His Jeep was totaled, and we had no car for about two weeks. He was fine, thank God, just a bit sore from the impact. The insurance company wrote a check for the loss, and so he has a new car now!
That's all for now!
