Baby number 5. Yep... whoa.
We have two girls and two boys so this one is going to tip the scales of our family, one way or the other.
I'm trying to figure out where I'll sit everyone in my car, but I already know where they will all sleep. I've been through all my baby stuff and cleared it out of Mum's garage so I know what I have and what I need now. Really all I need is a highchair (I've asked Mum to get me one from Ikea when she is in OZ next month) and a baby bag. I had such a good clean out of stuff I thought I'd use again but really... nope. And besides the never ending nappies & wipes I'm pretty much good to go.
My biggest dilemma is dressing up for our work awards night - a 1950's carnival theme. Didn't see many pregnant girls in the 50's did ya?? So not sure how a pencil skirt and tucked in blouse is going to fit! Only a few weeks to figure that one out.
Emerson is counting down the days to her trip, I think she is at 19. In preparation for that (and the coming baby) I got Dad to help me move some beds around today. Leah and Caleb do not like sleeping alone, so I have moved the boys in with Leah and Emerson gets her own room till the baby arrives. After that she'll have to move in with the other 3. Yes four in one room. Why not? I did put Em with Caleb when he was born but she complained he cried too much in the night time, so we won't do that again. Em is absolutely thrilled she finally has her own room, and she's already making it known to the others that they are not welcome in there. Let's see if it stays any cleaner than before shall we??
Having the three kids together already will mean no change when Em goes away and Leah wants someone to sleep with her. Caleb usually gets up every night and goes into either my bed or Emerson's so hopefully he'll stay in his now that he is on the top bunk, and Ammon won't get left alone in the room all the time.
Ammon is doing so great at school. Every time we ask him how school was, he says "Awesome!". He likes his teacher and tells us what he's learning about. He doesn't like the girls walking him into class, he wants to be a big boy and go by himself. He really wants to scooter to school but the weather hasn't been the best for it. So far so good. And he's only forgotten his bag at home once.
Caleb is going to big kindy tomorrow. Cross my fingers!! He's had 2 weeks off, so I'm really hoping he'll settle into the new area, with new kids/teachers well. Prob not. He'll probably still scream and cling when we leave, but I gotta hope. He has a bus trip to the Wananga tomorrow and he's taking cupcakes for his birthday. Man I hope it goes well.
