I should be holding a newborn now,
I should be sleep deprived now,
I should be watching Bailey and Sophie fall in love with their new sibling now,
I should be, but I am not.
Sometimes, even now it is hard for me to believe,
Sometimes, I want to try for another baby,
Sometimes, I don't know if I could handle it if something went wrong again,
I should be stronger, but I am not.
The moment a child is born, the mother is also born. She never existed before. The woman existed, but the mother, never. A mother is something absolutely new. ~Rajneesh

Just Words
Lots of things have happened since my last post.
Bailey went to the elementary school for a health check (eyes, ears, teeth and the like). Bailey celebrated his sixth birthday twice (once with cousins, aunts and uncles and once with just the four of us). Hubs celebrated his birthday as well. And, the whole family went to Disneyland.
But, the camera is in the shop and might be there for up to two weeks, so there are no pictures to post. They are supposed to call us and give us an estimate and when they expect it to be ready but a week later and no phone call yet.
We are considering getting bunk beds for the kids. The main reason being that Hubs and I are tired of getting punched and kicked numerous times during the night. It leaves us all grouchy in the morning and that has gotta change. I hope that we can find a good, not too expensive set. I think we will try Ikea first and kinda go from there. We might even get the loft type of bed so that we could put Bailey's desk (if we decide to get him one- the PILs are insisting) underneath and later, Sophie's desk as well, but I am not sure that we will have room for that or not. We will have to do a little measuring and shopping around first.
Wishing I could have a lazy lay in front of the TV and do nothing kinda day today, but there is laundry to do and classes to teach so I better do it while I still have the energy.

A Princess And A Knight
On another note, the camera just seems to be getting worse and worse. Pictures taken inside turn out grainy and pictures taken outside don't turn out at all. Guess I ougtha ask Santa for a new camera. Maybe I can it in time for Bailey's birthday next week???
