Kayla + Baby
Kayla has been loosing plenty of sleep lately. We find ourselves working on DNA homework many days until midnight. When she finally does get to sleep, she tosses and turns for hours until she finally sleeps out of pure exhaustion. poor girl. This pregnancy has been a lot more uncomfortable than Piper's and Paislee's. Most women would probably respond, DUH its pregnancy! This is not you general "i swallowed a watermelon" discomfort- the only woman i ever saw more uncomfortable was Brit, Kayla's sister. To protect the innocent, we'll skip that story. Kayla is quite the trooper though- 2-3hrs of sleep/day, 5 hrs homework/day(that is very conservative) and two rambunctious girls keep her days busy. A recent doctors visit revealed that our baby (37 wks) is breached, amidst what the OB called "a lot of fluid," (this exuberant amount of fluid increases the discomfort Kayla feels) we've decided she is just chilling swimming about.
On a side note: we were going through all of our baby stuff we've accumulated with our last 2 monsters, and decided to complete the "nesting" task, and prepare for baby. We emptied the clothes from storage, organized them, and reviewed accessories and details. After all was complete- I thought that we were ready- there was nothing i perceived as missing or lacking. then Kayla mentioned that we needed Gas Drops (worth their weight in GOLD really...). I sort of laughed then remembered the fiasco with Paislee that Every Walmart, Walgreens and even Target were out. The run on Gas Drops was extremely traumatizing for our family when Paislee was 6 wks old. Leave it up to Kayla to be prepared... Other than that... gring on the BABY!
Piper
Piper, though she id developing odd sleeping habits, if FINALLY warming up to play with Paislee. There is only one requirement- it can't be inside. Piper will only play with paislee in public... We're working on ABC's -D,V,T and a couple others sound like repeats, but she gets a kick out of "lime on a pee" (L, M, N, O, P). Piper has recently become very stuck on Dora the Explorer, the occasional attempt at a Spanish word makes me smile... Her favorite is actually from Diego though, - ACTIVATE! (ak-tee-va-te) She still is our whiner, but her ever increasing grasp of language keeps us laughing.
Piper: Mommy, I have a baby.
Kalya: You do Piper? where is it?
Piper: In my Tummy. Its getting really big!
Kalya: How did it get in there?!
Piper: It just crawled up in there.
Kayla: Does your baby have a name?
Piper: Her name is 'Nelope, you, you can name your baby like Grandmas dog Sophie. okay?
Kayla: When will your baby come out?
Piper: Maybe come in play at grandma's house with Alden and Eli. (Piper's cousins)
or
Kayla: Piper, come pick up your toy cat.
Piper: where?
Kalya: There on the floor.
Piper: Mommy, that's not a cat, that's a PUMA.
She was right!
