The day has come

Today is moving day! Happy joy. I am so happy to be out of this house but hate that we are moving once again. I hate moving. I do EVERYTHING! Even now with three kids I am the only one who has packed in this house. btw I find this extremely unfair. Steve’s dad is coming out today to help and I hate that he is coming here and the house is a disaster and not completely packed up. I have done a good job and it is for the most part done but not completely. It’s hard packing a whole house by yourself along with three kids, one of them who is nursing and has had bad gas a lot this week. I guess Steve’s cousin is also coming out later to help but that’s not until late afternoon. As we speak my moms car is loaded to the brim with stuff to be brought over to the house, Steve said he would do it and he didn’t. If I go do it I can only bring Shawn because I have stuff loaded on the other kids carseats and Steve is still asleep so I can’t do anything right now. Ugh, I’m frustrated already.
Okay off to go finish packing the house and start this move.

A new day, another tantrum

Jr was beyond cranky all day yesterday. I was really hoping after all the talking we did with him that it would be a better day. Well here were are 1pm and he is in his room crying and saying I hate this, I hate that. I am making him take a nap hoping that will help with his moodiness. He also has a horrible habit of hitting himself in the head. I HATE that he does it. He doesn’t do it softly either, that’s another thing I don’t know how to break him of. I think he gets that part of his temper from his father. I sure as hell have never done anything like that.
I forgot to write about Shawn’s appointment yesterday. It went good. She retied the skin tag, she said she did it differently hoping it would stay on. Well I changed his diaper and it was off this morning so now we just have to wait for him to grow older and keep our fingers crossed that the tag eventually goes away. I’m not happy about that but I have no other choice now. Oh and the Dr was shocked that his old ped didn’t have a newborn screening done. I told her I asked him for it and he said it wasn’t necessary so we have to get the blood work done today, not looking forward to that and we are waiting to hear back from our insurance and the hearing test.

Okay enough rambling. I have a million things to do today and no time to do any of it!

    Continued prayer for Baby Shawn! You are not alone with your older son, we are dealing with our own 5 year old issues! (((hugs)))

Wow

Okay, so I am lame. I did one post and completely forgot about this place. UPDATE! Baby number three is here. We had a boy, Shawn Matthew :) He is just the perfect little man. He was born 05/30/08, weighing in at 8lb 8oz (my biggest!) and was 21 1/4 inches long. I had him at home, it was the most wonderful experience being in my own comfortable surroundings. If we were having more kids I would totally do it again. When Shawn was 3 weeks old we found out he had Pyloric Stenosis. It’s the pyloris valve which leads to the intestines was closed therefore he wasn’t able to keep anything down and wasn’t gaining weight. He had surgery on June 22nd to correct it and the surgery was a success. He has reflux now so were still dealing with the spitting up but I can handle that just no more surgeries. Jr is being your typical four year old. Full of energy and spirit, loves to argue and doesn’t listen to mommy. He is the greatest big brother though to both the younger two kids. Samantha is is too funny. She has just started walking full time, yes I did say just. She became a full time walker at 19 months….lol. I knew my silly girl was on her own schedule. She loves playing mommy to baby Shawn. She tries to change his diapers and gives him kisses and hugs all day long and when he’s crying she comes over and tries to get him to calm down, it’s so freakign cute. And she is totally a little princess and daddy’s girl. Steve and I are doing good. Dealing with what life throws us. Were actually moving this weekend. Yes I know again. We are staying at this new place for at least a year though. I wont go into all the details of why were moving but I will say Ian is no longer someone we ever want to deal with again. Um well I think that’s a long enough update. I will try and remember to update more often then every 6 months….lol

Here are a few pics of my babies

    Shana! I am so thrilled for you that you got to experience a homebirth! That has been my dream but we have no accommodations for one in my surrounding area. Midwifes are few & far between. You have such beautiful children!

Expecting Dieli #5


Steve and I got a happy shock on October 11th. We are expecting again! Yup this will be Dieli family member 5. Yes at first we were worried, being so close to Sam and totally unexpected but we are very excited and can’t wait to meet this new little one. Since this will be our last baby I have decided not to find out the sex. I want to have that surprise right when it’s born of finding out what it is. Steve really wants to know but I am not caving! I’ll be posting u/s pics and appointment updates as they happen so check back 🙂
