Endings and beginnngs

This morning I realized that these are my last few days home alone with Rhett. Friday Kolby will get out of school and then it will be the three of us until the baby comes. Rhett has another year before he starts kindergarten. He will be in pre-school three mornings a week next year and when he isn't at school, the baby will be here. So these really are the last days of just me and Rhett! I can't believe that! I regret that I didn't do more with just him this semester, but I guess that part of watching our babies grow up.

Next Monday is the beginning of our summer. T-ball is also over Friday night. We don't have anything much planned for a week or so afterwards. However, this is when the real rush to get ready for the baby begins, so I think we will be quite busy. Then ths summer's activities begin, not to mention our due date countdown. Just 8 weeks to go now!

As the big D-Date nears, the reality of three kids is becoming a bit more clear! WOW! Three kids! I am going where my mother and grandmothers never went. I have never been in a family with three kids... It's all new, slightly intimidating, and really exciting! Yeah, I get a kick out of thinking that I am going to be the mom of three. Rob and I have talked about zone defenses and being out numbered. I think this should be fun! :)

Would love to blog more but I think I need to go spend some time with my favorite little guy! Happy Monday!

I loved the year that Matthew was in Montessori and I had one on one time with Thomas. It didn't strike me until after ME was born that I would never have that time again with him!

I have never had alone time with ME (other than when she was tiny) so that will be the one advantage to Thomas going to school next year!

I hope you had a great Monday with Rhett. I treasure those one-on-one days too.

I loved having my time alone with my kids too. Mine are kinda spaced that way. When one went off to school, it was too quiet in the house, so I had another. It's nice to have that one-on-one time. : )

I was the middle of three even though I only had two....

Three is a good number...

Three is a great number! You will love it! And I'm totally with you on the cherishing 1-1 time. That is the hardest part, for me, about choosing not to use preschool or MDO that I don't get as much 1-1 time.

Also, about going from 2 to 3 kids - I firmly believe that adjusting from 1 to 2 is much harder.

And I will gladly watch your kids while you and the baby sleep! Oh wait, I guess that would be weird since we don't really "know" each other. Must fix that! I propose a Waco blogging mothers get together this summer!

TL ~ We are aiming for July 17th or perhaps a few days earlier.

tracy I do think we should get together! I'll talk to CP and maybe we could meet up! :)
