• Good morning.  Life looks much better this morning.  Rob & I had a good conversation last night.  And thoroughly enjoyed our date night.  Even if he was being goofy last night.  LOL 

  
  

  Kaylin has officially had her last nurse.  I told her before she nursed it was her last.  (like she cared)  And she proceeded to nurse less then 30 seconds.  (Like she has been for the last week or two) 

  
  

  I KNOW when I go to my midwife tonight she will tell me NO MORE nursies....we already discussed this at the first ever appointment for this pregnancy.  So I cherished it (she didn't lol)  And I now sniff sniff sniff have a big girl.  I think I'm gonna ask Rob if I can take Kaylin out and "celebrate" tonight. 

  
  

  She can come with me to mommys midwife appointment and maybe we'll buy something to honor the weaning.  Unless Fleur gets mad at me LOL  I'm gonna say Kaylin self-weaned. hehehe  (she'll understand the joke)  Because I've been offering this nurse for weeks...and Kaylin has just so not been intrested.  Sooooooooo  we're done.

  
  

  Though if after the baby was born she was intrested I would not hesitate to reinitiate it at all. 

  
  

  I was not gonna tell my midwife about yesterday.  But Rob has asked me to......so I will.  He KNOWS what he's asking...because I can ALMOST guarantee its gonna mean celibacy for him for the next 10 weeks.  Oh by its gonna be a LONG 10 weeks...and I finally found my sex drive.  *sigh*

  
  

  Rob is officially doing all the household stuff.  I will continue to grocery shop, unless that wears me out, we will see.  Fortunately I have hired a very reliable effecient girl to do the deep clean once a week.  So he doesn't have to face that.  If I start having more contractions then this.  February 1st I will hire my 16 year old sister to come in a couple days of week to entertain kids help me out as well.  We've already discussed this with her.  She is dropping out of PS and going back to homeschooling January 28th thats why we're waiting until then.  Hopefully by that time the stinker will have her drivers license (she still can't parallel park ). 

  
  

  Rob & I are transititioning Kaylin into no longer being carried down the stairs etc.  This is also gonna be a no-no.  But I'd already started that a little bit.  I will no longer be picking her up unless to put her in the van.  If she has a boo-boo...I will walk her to a chair and then comfort her.  Had to do this with Samuel at the same age...the first couple days is hard, but then they just get used to the new way of doing things. 

  
  

  Jamari of course has to be carried up & down stairs...but I don't have to do that much, because 98% of the time Rob is home during that time.  The rest of the time I think we'll be putting him to sleep in a crib in our bedroom and Rob will carry him up afterwards. 

  
  

  Okay does all this sound like overkill?  Well  I'm doing absolutely EVERYTHING I can think of to make the midwife happy, and keep her from saying the VERY VERY BAD word~~~ bedrest

  
  

  Father God, I thank you for the baby kicking in my tummy.  And that it kicks so frequently to remind me how healthy he/she is.  I ask that you would continue to keep he/she inside until at least 36 weeks.  I pray that I would learn to let go of the way things "should be" done while Rob takes over too many of "my" responsibilities.  I thank you for the lighthearted fun we had last night.  In your sons name, Amen
