Casa Sosegad

I can’t believe how fast time flies! In less than a 100 days, we’re going to be welcoming the newest member of our family! In the meantime, life has been pretty hectic. We gone on a picnic with the G.O.A.N association.

As pregnancies go, I guess it’s been uneventful so far. All the tests have been coming in great and baby is fine, moving around a lot. Weight gains been good too, just right. But my hips and back are just not the same any more. I can’t climb up and down stairs easily and in the nights, it takes a while to get comfortable because my right hip hurts a lot. A few days I just give in and take Tylenol because I can’t sleep for the pain. Any activity pretty much ensures I am in pain - gardening, carrying Anthony, even normal housework like loading the washer and dryer, sweeping the kitchen or vacuuming. Pretty ridiculous for a mom of three boys, huh? Oh well, pain is supposed to build character, right?!

Alexander has spent a week at his cousin’s. The kids have been enjoying their little pool. Alexander has been keeping up with his work as well. I’ve explained the concept of fractions to him and he’s become quite the “clock” expert. We’ve been working on his writing too.

Aaron’s just starting on writing the alphabet as well. He’s our resident musician. Loves singing and pretending to play the guitar. Anthony is talking more consistently. He says words like “more”, “I want that”, no, milk, up, there, ball, hot. He even said “Aaron” and “Alex” today while playing. I was amazed! Aaron was pointing a toy gun at him and saying “shoot, shoot”. To which he replied “No Aaron!”. I got him to say “Alex” as well and he did repeat Aaron one more time but after that he would not.

Been busy in the garden too. Here’s a slideshow of my garden from this spring to now. I have some new shots to include as I wanted to take full shots. As soon as I do that I will post some more pictures. I’ve also started to learn to crochet. I am currently working on a doily.When I am done, will post a picture of that as well.
