Time FLIES!

Well, last week we had to put Caleb back in daycare for 2 days a week while Parker's at school. It's never been too huge of a deal, because he's always loved it. But this week, we're at a new daycare because we're in a new town. The first day, he was fine when I dropped him off. He went straight for the back room with all the toys. But I still cried as I drove away..... But then Thursday, I had to take him again....and this time he knew what was coming. And his chin quivered, and his eyes filled up with tears, and he wouldn't look at me in the eyes (he avoids eye contact when he's terribly emotional). And it BROKE MY HEART. He put his arms around my neck and didn't wanna let go. And I just wanted to take him back home where he blongs. But I had to go to work. When we tore him from me, he bawled. And I drove away crying AGAIN. It's never been this hard in the past. Thank goodness it's only twice a week. I hope it gets better, that's just brutal!

Secondly, my belly is growing....and there's definately no hiding that I'm pregnant....although my scrubbs have been doing a PRETTY good job till last week (I had my first patient ask me if I was pregnant.....! AUGH! That woman was BRAVE! What if I WASN'T?! I was BARELY showing through my scrubbs for pete's sake!) But as the weight in the front expands, my back begins to arch to distribute the weight. And THAT alone starts to take it's toll, as all of your back's weight starts to sit on those bottom vertebrae. OUCH! My back has been in serious pain for the past couple of days. And I honestly think it's worse when I'm standing than when I'm sitting. I think it's way easier to sit with good posture than to stand.....at least with a baby in front. I hope my back gets stronger before the pain gets worse.....I'm still not even half-way through this pregnancy yet!

We've already been in Twin Falls for 4 months, and I think this summer has flown by FASTER than any summer of my life! It's over! We've decided that with that 8,000 dollar tax credit the government is offering to first-time home buyers, we probably just can't pass up the chance to get into a house this year. So.....we're looking. It feels so un-real. It seems so grown-up to live in your own house. But after all.....I've been married for over 5 years, I've graduated from college, I've got a kid and another on the way..........I guess it's time for a house too. I just never thought it could actually happen for us! Well, like I said, we're just looking. But if we find something in our price-range we could have our own house for Christmas. Wouldn't that be amazing!
