is this really a surprise?
In case you haven’t heard the news yet. This is what the sonographer predicted for our future family of 5.
Life has been getting a bit easier with the awkward, ski boot that I must wear for a month, but I can’t move any faster than a 3-toed sloth. The other night the girls and I were in a fit of laughter because I told them I was going to race and beat them up the stairs to bed. We all giggled so much that it was hard for all of us to get up the stairs. At least everyone can enjoy themselves at my expense.
In other news, Annie has been home sick from school since Tuesday. As I mentioned before Annie had a fever/cough starting Friday through Sunday. I thought all was back to normal on Monday and Tuesday and sent Annie to school both days. Then I got a call from her school on Tuesday morning saying she had a fever of 101.4 degrees and would need to go home. Annie continued her feverish ways today, and I don’t know what tomorrow will bring. Apparently, there is quite a virus going around that causes a fever for several days or even weeks. I pray that she’ll be all better (and that nobody else gets sick) in time for our vacation this upcoming week.
Speaking of vacation, I haven’t mentioned it yet, but we are headed to Disney World for a week leaving this Friday. They are offering fabulous military discounts right now, so we figured now was the time to do it before baby arrives. The girls are very excited even though they have no idea what to expect. Mike purposely spilled the beans to them last week because he can’t stand keeping a secret. Fortunately, the girls have been great about not asking about it constantly. Now they are interrogating me regularly about the baby. Oh well, it’s kind of fun having kids that can understand the concept of a new baby and are actually excited about being busy, little helpers when the critter arrives.
