I think Erica and I's water glasses were switched!
I can totally relate! We missed T H R E E days of school when we cruised and the volume of makeup work that Teia had was unbelievable! She has to read a minimum of 5 books a week, one chapter, two non fiction and two picture books. Some kids in her class take THREE A.R. tests A DAY!suzannef said:
If they read all 5 books, they have to get more!
I guess I shouldn't complain then, that sounds crazyLCTsMom said:I can totally relate! We missed T H R E E days of school when we cruised and the volume of makeup work that Teia had was unbelievable!

I walked in her class for Johnny Appleseed day and some other mom's and the teacher said, "hi" like they knew some thing. So, I asked dd if she told any one and she said only a couple of people. She refused to devulge who. We were going to try and keep it a family secret until I was able to tell my parents (not that it would mattter b/c they don't DIS and they're 3K miles away). Well, we had another family conference last night and told them it was okay to tell their friends now. DS and the youngest dd did a great job of not telling any one.
So, ds just got picked up by my friend and he gave me that look of can I tell now. So, I said sure and he was so happy to share that he's getting a brother.
All the kids are happy to get a sister/brother they can't stand it. The babysitting I did this summer showed me how they would enjoy having another baby in the house. Our van is of course at maximum capacity and I'm not ready for a 15 passenger van yet. LOL
DH's kinda excited. He's trying to juggle how things are going to work out if he goes back to school, trying to get a computer certification by Xmas (MCSE by Microsoft), our finances etc. But I know he'll be happy in the end.
Oldest dd will be in 7th grade by the time this one starts Kindergarden.
B/c we were in baby whirlwind with the three we'll be able to enjoy baby Davis a lot more.
The kids are already talking to the baby. Its cute they'll say, hi baby or come out soon o.k.?.
I'd like to print out a calendar so that the kids can see what's going on inside my stomache. They don't need a blow by blow, but just to give them an idea of what's going on.

Great, keep me posted!taeja71 said:Whoops! I know I saw that....
We're thinking about going for Christmas b/c I can't stand the family stress with both our families. The cost for airfare and a rental is outragious. I'd rather cruise again. So, if we go at Christmas we'll drive down again. I'll keep you updated.
Who knows. We have to save our $$ too for baby Davis. Baby things don't last as long as they used to anymore.
