I think since my camera broke on that day at the beach while camping we are all pretty much up to date picture wise.
Since then the girls have started school. It has been a rough adjustment for Kylee. We were having issues with her teacher and some of the other kids in the class but I THINK we have gotten it figured out. Chels has been and continues to be doing awesome. She has been getting some extra worksheets from her teacher to do because she pretty much knows everything right now and has been getting into trouble talking because shes bored.
As for Baby Asher, things are looking good so far. There was a concern as to how far we were going to be able to get. He was breech for a while and we are dialated and ephased already but we have now hit 33 weeks so its not too risky anymore and he has flipped so that means no for sure c-section. The bag is packed and the hospital registration papers are submitted. Hoping to make it full term but will take anything after 35 weeks. Due November 9 still.
I have been starting to feel insanely and incredibly overwhelmed by everything the past month or so. Trying to figure out a good game plan for the girls while we are in the hospital as well as for him has been a HUGE stresser for me. It doesnt sound like much but in there the girls have school everyday, homework, Emmas daily medications and asthma that has to be VERY closely monitored on top of meals, school pick up and drop offs, and all that other 'fun' every day life junk. There is also Sols dog that needs to be somewhere during this mess. Then the whole coming home from the hospital and getting me and baby healed and adjusted to things on top of the usual normal everyday life duties has me up on many many sleepless nights.
Sol is doing as well as can be expected. He has been working 3 days a week unless its raining and spending the other days helping do kids and house since I have been majorly out of commission this summer.
Both he and I are ready for baby Ash to come so we can resume normal life again. I cant wait for the day to be able to go do normal things like grocery shopping by myself and not have to bring Sol with me everywhere so he can load and unload everything. I cant wait for the day to be able to pick Emma up and snuggle her like she asks for and to be able to get down on the floor and back off easily with the other girls to do different things.
I know we are incredibly blessed to be able to bring these children into our family but this pregnancy has been so hard emotionally, physically, mentally, spiritually, and any other way possible that I know this will be my last one. It makes me sad, I always said I would love to have a 'burb full of kids but I know I cant do this again. Its a battle every day to not feel discouraged and totally and completly overwhelmed but at the same time still trying to enjoy and love and savor it since we know this will be the last time we get to experience this. Thank you to all our friends and family who have included us in thier thoughts and prayers and continue to provide love and support! We love you all!
