Procastination

So I am procastinating today because I have a lack of energy with the baby on the way in a few weeks. We had another doctor appointment on Monday and they informed that the baby is breech. The doctor said not to worry since they can turn them. My response was, " or you can." He said, "or you can what?" That is it we can turn them most of the time. Later that evening I called my mom who is a nurse practiciner and asked her what turning meant. She just laughed and said another word for pain. Ben then commented that I really wanted a C- Sectoin and this may be that undisquised blessing. So we will see what happens. This past weekend Ben and I had our first staycation. We sent Jonas to grandma and granndpa's and headed down to AR for Crawdad Days. The festival was full of crawdads , booths, and boat races. We really did not get to see that much since I would walk about 100 feet then plead for a bench to sit on for the next 10 minutes. Thankfully for Ben's sake they had a Crawdad shuttle which saved us from walking a few miles.

I prefer older kids

I only have five more weeks till my next bundle of joy comes. This brings me happiness and a tinge of sadness at the same time. I am happy to have a sibling for Jonas but starting the infant stage all over again is not something that I smile about. Some people are shocked when I say this but I really don't like babies. Now if they are my own I will endure it but if I could have my kids come at age 4 I would be thrilled. For a long time I thought that I wanted to work in an overseas orphanage, but my husband kindly reminded me there would be lots of babies there, I knew teaching is where I am really called.
Anyhow, hopefully soon my husband and I will leave for missionary training at MMS and then head overseas. We are excited but waiting on God's timing.

Updates

So my pregnancy is going smoothly I only have ten more weeks to go. This pregnancy has been a lot easier then with Jonas and so I am grateful .
We are currently raising support and have 2/3 what we need to be able to start training. We are hoping we can move in July but we will see.
We met with an AIM ( Africa Inland Mission ) representative and are leading strongly in that direction after completing MMS.
Jonas is now 1 1/2 years old and is constantly on the go . He loves being outside every chance he gets and we spend frequent hours during the week at the park.
I am still trying to set up the new babies room, I kind of lost motivation so I am trying to find it again.

Nastiness

So I know that everyone may not want to hear this story but here goes:
Last night I was giving Jonas a bath in the bathtub and sinceI like to soak up the hot water because it makes my back feel better while I am pregnant I climbed in with him. About half way through the bath I smelled something stinky but thought to myself I didn't see any bubbles come from him. So anyhow I proceeded with the bath teaching Jonas how to scrub his body with a sponge while he practiced scrubbing mine. He spent more time hiding the sponge in his crouch then he did wanting to try. Anyhow about five minutes pass of me trying to show him and him practicing when I notice something brown float by. It is then that I immediately pick him up from his safety chair and notice what I had been dreading he had a bowel movement in the bathtub, immediately after lifting him up it all starts to float closer to me . I yell for Ben who is on the phone with someone he comes in upset that I am yelling for while he is on the phone until I tell him about the predicament which he then proceeds to laugh. Unfortunately I was given the task of cleaning it all up while Ben put Jonas down for bed.
This situation wouold have upset me a lot more but since Jonas I have learned to a laugh at this and just think why me?

So I am trying to redesign my blog but I am getting tired of being on the computer so I am going to quit for now. I will try to post a blog and fix the current problems as soon as I have a chance.

Blizzard ?

It has been snowing here since 6 am this morning and it is the heavy falling snow. The meteorologist said that we could get up to 7-10 inches of snow, that would be interesting. Anyhow, I finally got around to changing my blog today I have been wanting to for awhile but could never find the time. It was a bit more complicated than I thought but since I am familiar a little with HTML it went okay. I am still babysitting the four year old little girl and staying at home with Jonas, it is days like today I wish I was still teaching to get a snow day and not have to work. When is the snow day for a stay at home mom? I am also about 20 weeks pregnant and I am still awaiting to feel the baby kick, evidently I have an anterior placenta so they said feeling the baby kick may take longer than expected.

So as I sit hear typing I am anxiously awaiting Ben to come back from KS, he had to be in a friends wedding. Since Jonas can't sit still for longer than five minutes and I get car sick because of pregnancy we opted out this trip. It was not an easy choice, go to a wedding or stay at home all weekend and take care of an one year old. Although I think that Jonas and I are better for it I still feel alone and can't wait for him to return. Anyhow, the newest news is that Jonas can walk now, he just started one day trying and in an hours time he was almost running. I was so impressed but I have to admit it has led to more work for me. Other than can't think of much else.
