too many moms

There's me...the mom... and then there's Tally, Bergen, Tabitha, and yes...even Brooklyn.

THIS IS GETTING ANNOYING!!! Everyone has to be the mom!

I give an order... and they enforce the orders. They don't actually obey them, just enforce them. 5 kids under 8.5 years... crazy.

Speaking of #5... Bergen is scared the baby is dead. Why? because the little girls climb on my stomach a lot. I hate being pregnant when you can't count kicks yet... I'm excited to hear the baby's heart beat in a week. Bergen was in tears asking what if we couldn't hear it... his soft heart has be worried...but I know the baby is fine...I hope :)

Tabitha is officially done with preschool for the year. She lasted a month. I had to tell the girl I've been carpooling with. I'm glad she didn't yell at me via text... she works and so now her daughter wouldn't have a ride home so she has to drop out too. oops...but she signed her up before we decided to carpool so I shouldn't have worried about it. She knew the consequences.

Anyway, putting Tabitha in gymnastics. My mom and laughed and said it'd be perfect for her-an individual sport! not really a team player, that one. Today I had the opportunity to read her baby blessing. Oh my sweet Tabitha. So much in store for her if she obeys the gospel and sticks close to the standards. Such a strong willed child...just need to channel it for good! It's so funny because she does not like Brooklyn, but then if Brooklyn is really truly acting like a baby, Tabitha just eats it up and treats her like a new born... I think she'll be okay with the new baby. The only problem is she will be fighting brooklyn for turns holding it. I started tearing up though when I read her baby blessing... she is a special spirit, meant to be in our home. To teach us patience and love and kindness... because if we don't use those on her...we're screwed! ;)

Love my kids. Just need reminders some times of why oh WHY we are all in this family together. We butt heads a lot, we yell a lot, but I think we have a lot of fun...and we're ALL learning together. I'm grateful my children are so forgiving of my faults...because they are many.

Why single?

I remember being engaged and thinking "I can't wait til we're married and we can be together ALL the time." A married friend of mine said "yeah right. We see eachother less now." I didn't believe her :) Well, one month after graduation, babygirl came along. Hubby had a crappy job and didn't get any days off. Luckly she was born on a Sunday. We lived away from any family and dealt for a few days til help arrived. (more like cried and ate toast while never putting down a nursing baby). More school for hubby and Bugs came along. Hubby's don't get maternity leave when they're students...so again we dealt for a few days until help arrived. Moved onto Grad school. Took hubby to carpool every morning @ 6am and picked him up at 5:30pm. Dinner and kids in bed by 6:30 then studying til 10pm. Got a second car (hooray!) which allowed the kids to stay up later and sleep in...thus getting to see daddy more. 3rd year of grad school brought Sweets with it. Hubby got my text to meet me at the hospital. Left school and came over. Back at school the next day. No tears. Lots of help with friends this time :) And family arrived before I was even discharged! Baby #4 came 2 months before graduation…and shortly after we learned we did not match. ..so no job or place to go. we made it though-as you will see. Our caboose arrived at the beginning of our last year in residency. I started this blog when just 3 were at home. It's been a place for me to vent, rejoice, and basically be honest and real with out situation and that of many other students/residents/beginning doctors. Now are in our first year of our career and already we have seen several lows…but we keep chugging forward…and I'm happy to report, I'm not so single any more!
