Introduction

I highly doubt anyone will ever read this, therefore, I am doing it mostly for myself. I am a 29-year-old mother of 2 with 1 on the way. I have an 8-year-old daughter and a 2-year-old son. I am a stay-at-home mom during the day, a medical transcriptionist during the night, and a softball coach during the evening.

I am married to a normally wonderful man who made me very mad last night when he cut all his hair off down to stubble because my daughter had lice. Of course, the idea that she had lice made him itch, so without thinking about my feelings, he took all his hair off. It is so gross. I swear I won't even kiss him until it grows back somewhat.

My daughter is an amazing girl who I love dearly. She is way too smart for her own good. She loves her brother and is a good daughter most of the time.

My son is a sweet as they come. In fact, he is crawling up on my lap while I type at this very moment. It is too bad that he has a very stinky diaper. Otherwise, I might enjoy it a little more.

I am 6-weeks pregnant with my third. I really don't care if it is a boy or girl, but I hope a girl. I want my husband to have the undivided love of a little girl. My son has always been a mommy's boy, and Martin needs a daddy's girl. He doesn't see it that way. He sees that there aren't many boys in his family to carry on his last name, and he wants another boy.

My softball team is an 8&under team of 10 girls of who 3 are my daughter and 2 nieces. About half the team had never played before, and all of them are doing amazingly well considering. They have lots to learn about playing softball as a team, but they are coming along so well. They make me so proud. We haven't won a game yet, but each game so far has shown a lot of growth in each girl. In fact, last night, 1 little girl, who had not yet hit the ball in a game, hit the ball every time she was up to bat. That was huge. She is the type of kid that is just happy to be playing. Even when she didn't hit the ball, she had a huge smile on her face just because she played. Imagine what that smile looked like last night. In fact, all of the girls hit the ball last night. We had had a couple that hadn't hit the ball and all of them did last night. My niece, Taylor, had the hit I knew she had in her, line drive up the middle past everyone.

I am militant in my childbirth views and will probably post about that later on in more depth. I got a subscription to Netflix in order to watch the Business of Being Born online. It was awesome. I am having a home birth with this baby. Both of my kids were born at the Birth Center of Gainesville, so it is not a huge stretch to have this one at home. We made an appointment to meet the midwives with the Midwives Cooperative in Gainesville next week. I am very excited about that. More than me picking the midwife I like the best, the bigger question will be who will put up with me as a patient.

Anyway, I will try to do this everyday if I have anything to say that is. We will see. So, if anyone did read this...thanks. I really appreciate it.
