A Moment of Peace
The boys at Hapuna
Elijah literally rolls in the sand, covering his whole face. He is such a beach bum!
Chad began his job a few weeks ago and really likes it! He is home most days on time and gets weekends and holidays off! He is on call from time to time but it is nothing like his previous job. I thought I would miss the overtime pay but I could care less! We are all loving him being around more.
Malakai is just funnier then ever. I can't believe how grown up he is. Everyday he asks when his "sister and brother" are coming. Cool story-- when I found out I was pregnant Chad and Eli were out at the store, so it was just Bubba and I. I saw the results and immediately started crying, Kai was asking me what's wrong, not sure if he should be crying with me or laughing. I told him I was so happy because we were going to have another baby! I told him it would either be a sister or a brother. Ever since that moment he went around telling everyone I had a sister and brother in my belly, quickly spreading the rumor I was having twins! Side note- Doctor did discover two sacs at my first appointment but only one baby. She said the other twin probably never developed after the first few weeks. Sixth sense?! Anyway, it was such a special moment that I was able to share with him. He totally gets that I am having a baby (or babies in his mind) and is so thrilled. He has names picked out, Nico and Sofia, our old neighbors. He is going to be disappointed when he realizes that ain't gunna happen! :) He knows the baby is coming right around his birthday, he is so excited about that, although I have a feeling that will change after a few years. Who wants to share a birthday with their little sibling?!
Elijah is just awesome! I want to bottle him up and keep him like this forever. He is so sweet, and so curious and so funny. And all boy! He plays cars and ball all day. He could care less about TV or anything that requires him to sit down unless it's a book of HIS choosing and HE has to be the one holding it as long as I read it to him. He is quite bossy! He talks like crazy, I can't believe his vocabulary! A girlfriend of mine skyped us a few days ago and couldn't believe how much bigger he is in just the last couple months since she had seen him. It's true, he is really becoming a toddler. I have baby fever because he is so big now, thank God I'm already pregnant! ;)
Perfect segway into me! I am doing good, really ready to be down with the morning sickness and the acid reflux! Any day now, I keep telling myself as I entered my second trimester. I've had a lot of questions about what I think I am having. I am really torn on this. I think it's probably a boy because Chad and I seem to be really good at making boys, why mess up the pattern now?! I was sick with the boys so this pregnancy doesn't feel much different. The only difference I have noticed (I hate to say this because I am not trying to throw a pity party for one over here) is that I don't feel "glowing" and "pretty" like I did with my last two pregnancies. This sounds so dumb but the old wives tail says being pregnant with boys gives you beauty and being pregnant with girls takes from your beauty. I always felt so fresh and nice with the boys. In fact, I actually LIKED being pregnant and gloried in it even through all the crazy symptoms. This time, I feel gross, I don't feel pretty or glowing and I am so not liking being pregnant. Will the wives tale be true for me? We will soon find out!
Enough feeling sorry for myself ;). Chad and I are anxiously waiting for the right home. It's hard out here to find the right house. We are having trouble even figuring out which neighborhood would be best. Do we pick the windy town near the ocean, the big city that is hot and crowded or the beautiful town that's often cold and rainy?! So many climates on one big rock, it's hard to chose. We really want to find a place we can live in for a good long while. After this move we are both done and ready to be settled for good somewhere. Having already owned a home we have such a clear picture in our minds of what we want that it's just better for us to build our own. We will see, we are praying for God to show us a clear path to take. Waiting is the hard part.
We miss all of you loved ones out there and are missing many things about Cali. Well I am at least. Chad says he left there and hasn't looked back. He doesn't want to leave here ever, not even for vacation. He is one of those. Me, not so much. I miss the conveniences I grew up surrounded with. I miss my friends desperately, and my boys' friends. Skype is good but is not quite the same. We are meeting people here and looking for a good church to get involved in. I'll update more soon, gotta get ready to hit the beach to celebrate my sister's 25th birthday! Boy do I feel old having a little sister 25. ;)
