So, quite a bit has happened in the last week and a half! We finally got foster kids...three little girls! They're soon to be ages 2,3 and 4. I can't really say much about them but they are sweet girls and we've had several people tell us they look like our little girls! They all love music and dancing...especially when dancing with Jaren. We have little dance parties quite frequently. They just LOVE Jaren. It's so fun to see them get excited when they know he'll be home soon and to see the little reunion with three chubby faces trying to get his hugs and attention!
Jaren has been a huge help! He even said he's done more dishes in the last week and a half than he's done our entire marriage! That's totally true. :) The thing he's greatest at is keeping them occupied and playing with them when I need a break or have things I need to get done. The little one can get quite clingy and wants to be held from the time she gets up from her nap until dinner time. That makes preparing dinner EXTREMELY difficult! But she has the sweetest little face and with those hands reaching up at me I just can't resist! Sigh. What am I going to do when I have a brand new baby too?! I am a little (a lot) worried. One thing Jaren has NOT been helpful in is changing diapers. I believe he's change maybe 4 or 5 total. I change that many poopy diapers in a day. He has had to change 2 because I wasn't around to do it. He he he. He tries to bribe me with foot massages but I have yet to get one...mostly because I don't take the time to make him pay up!
On a different note, I am now 27 weeks and about to start my 3rd trimester. Bending and leaning forward is getting progressively more difficult and uncomfortable. I just didn't realize how much until the girls came and I feel like I'm bending and leaning ALL day long. I didn't feel baby Blake kick until just before I hit the 24 week mark. Now I feel him quite frequently and stronger. I've even seen my belly move from him kicking!! What a strange sight (and feeling)!
The kids are up now and I'm finding it impossible to keep typing with 6 hands pulling on me! I'll update more later!
