Well life has been crazy and slow at the same time. Donaven and I did a lot of traveling in July and we were hardly home. Then August came and for the first time since Travis and I have been married you left me for the weekend and took Donaven with him. I had a weekend to MYSELF!?! I have never had that. I am always the one leaving him. It was actually kind of nice. Didn’t know what to do with myself, so of course I clean the house and worked on the baby room and then my amazing friend Jillian came over and we had a girl’s night which was a blast. We went out to dinner and then watched a movie. I had tons of fun and when Travis got home I said “no wonder you like me to leave” I told him he could do that about once of month and that would be ok with me.
We are getting down to the wire for when Oren is going to grace us. We are so excited. I have been working with Donaven that he is going to be a big brother and that mommy has a baby in her tummy. He is doing pretty well with it. When he sees a baby he goes crazy and then he is done. I know he is going to be a great big brother. I painted both of the boy’s room this summer and had a blast doing it. I can’t wait to finish painting the whole house but that takes money and time which it very limited in our hands. I just about have Oren room all done just a few things here and there that we need to get. Can’t explain how excited we are to meet this little boy. We think he is crazy for choosing us as his parents because we are crazy and sometime don’t know what we are doing, but then again who isn’t right. We are thrilled that he has chosen us and we hope we don’t let him down. I know life is going to be crazy and I am never going to have down time again but I can’t wait for that.
Update on Donaven. He is crazy as ever. His new favorite things to do are build blocks, clean with a wet wipe, watch Elmo, reading book, repeating words we say and of course play outside. He is getting so big I can’t believe it, he is no longer my little baby. He is sleeping in a big boy bed which he did amazing transferring into. I didn’t have any trouble with that which I was very grateful for. Right now I am teaching him to pick up after himself and its going ok when he is in the mood lol. About 90% of the time he puts everything back where it is supposed to go except when it comes to his books in his room he just throws them on the floor and thinks that it good. He is talking a bunch more which is really fun. My favorite word he says right now is turtle. I don’t know when I love it so much but it is just the cutest thing in the world.
Travis has switch back to grave yard shifts which has been nice and hard at the same time. With school starting and changing schedule it is taking time to get used to it. I am so proud of him and thankful for him and all he does for our family. He is the reason that I get to be a stay at home mom and I couldn’t ask for anything else.
