I sort of knew it'd been awhile since my last post, but I didn't realize it's been a month.
What's new you ask?
Baby Olivia is over 6 months old already and she is healthy, strong and more beautiful every day. She also poops. A lot. And sometimes it comes out her diaper and squishes all over her father's shirt. And sometimes he passes her to me and it squishes all over my shirt. And sometimes it falls on the floor and the 4 year old kneels in it and FREAKS OUT. And it's only then we realize we have baby shit ALL OVER US and it is gross.
Danielle is constantly making us laugh with silliness which is exactly how 4 year olds are supposed to behave. And she behaves more often than not which is refreshing change from the hellish temper tantrums she used to have every single day and twice on Tuesdays.
Derek is 12-going-on-13. He finally broke up with his girlfriend some time ago, and he did it as nicely and quickly as possible. He is awesome with his baby sister and tolerates Danielle and when I asked him this morning, "Why Derek? Why must you pick at her in the morning when we know how cranky she is?" His reply said it all. "I'm her big brother, Mum. IT'S WHAT I DO."
That's all I've got time for at the moment. I'm going to write more soon. Just a couple of other things:
1. I've been living and enjoying life which means my thyroid meds are working.
2. Julia - I'm thinking about you and sending you BIG HUGS.
