Caroline is Twelve Weeks Old!
By Amanda_McDaniel » Posted May. 20, 2016 7:43pm - 442 views - 0 comments
This will be the last weekly update on my little ones I post. Since Caroline will be three months old in five days, I will move to monthly ones for a little while before I bid the site farewell. Most all of the girls I was following for the last year have had their babies and begun to move on so it’s getting to be that time for me too. No longer will I be prepping for and expecting any new babies, DeWayne goes next Friday for his vasectomy, but feel free to add me on Facebook or Instagram so we can keep track of each other. As for us, we have officially started summer break and we’re ready to try out my best-laid plans for keeping the kids entertained. We still haven’t heard anything new about my husband’s hopeful new job so I’m just making plans around the crappy schedule he’s had for nearly four years. *Sigh* We’re really struggling to not get our hopes up over this new opportunity, it’s going to be such a heartbreaker for DeWayne if he gets passed over again. But how many times can you say, ‘please, God’ before you start to wonder if you’re making it worse for yourself? Anyway, I am looking forward to having a bit more time with Sebastian, though I’m sure my patience will be very short-lived. He’s in this fun little phase where no means yes, if you don’t get the answer you want the first time just ask a thousand more times, and punishment is a Mother’s way of telling you she no longer loves you. *Hangs Head* I love him so much but sometimes I just want to thump him upside the dang head! Five going on sixteen, for sure. But Care Bear is growing sweeter and sweeter every day and she is such a Mommy’s girl! It’s probably because her daddy is pretty hands-off this time around. When he’s not working or sleeping, he takes Bash outside and pretty much leaves the baby to me. Could be because I am still breastfeeding but the only real exceptions are at night while we’re having family time or if we’re ever all off together, like teeball. He hasn’t been alone with both kids since my ER visit back when Caroline was only a couple of weeks old and makes no bones about it. I guess it’s fortunate I’m all about our children because he’s starting to remind me more and more of his father… Oh well. But baby girl is definitely being molded into my mini. I love painting our toenails to match, color-coordinating our outfits, and having people coo over her. But my paranoia of strangers has definitely doubled having two. I was already bad with just my son but now I’m like an overbearing mother hen. I have read too many horror stories about these kids getting snatched in department stores… It’s an epidemic of monsters in this world, caused by a deficiency of Jesus. It’s terribly sad. This wasn’t meant to be a bummer post, I swear, I think I’m just really tired. Hah! I hope everyone is doing well. I’ve included a picture from Sebastian’s graduation on Monday to end on a bright note. Have a good weekend!
