Cookie Life

I was lying in bed this morning, waiting for the little one inside to cooperate with my intention to get up without making me queasy or sapping my energy. Salih and Siraj were on the bed (of course they'd been up for an hour already) just playing.

Salih got a hold of the remote, and changed the TV channel. Apparently Siraj was watching that chanel, becuase he protested in the way that 10-months old do.

But before he could get fully into his ranting and raving sequence, wonder of wonders, Salih reached over and handed him the remote, and said, 'Here ya go'....Siraj was mollified and with his 'good mannered' self replied, 'Thank you....very much!' Salih, very pleased with himself, replied, 'Your welcome,' then went and buried himself under the covers, quite content.

Of course it was all babyfied, so much of it, you would have had to struggle to understand, ...more like 'tat you...vey muh'.....lol

But, these are the kind of moments you get to experience when you stay home with your kids.

Of course they dont come around that often - not once a day, MAYBE you'll get one once a week.

But when they do come, they can be so sweet.

Yes, I reached that milestone on Wednesday. For those of you who dont know, my first child was born early - at 32weeks - so in a way its a relief every time to pass that milestone with no problems.

Everybody is jealous of me, cuz I look like Im only about 5 months pregnant. I simply dont know where this baby IS - well, actually I do know, all over my liver, spine and bladder. Last visit I took to the baby doctor, we checked the records and as of this time last pregnancy, I was 10 pounds heavier. So I think that explains why I can feel every move this one makes, and why I feel so sqooshed inside, lol.

This time around I have taken the 'devil may care' attitude - I have things to do and people to take care of, I just dont have the leisure to sit around and take it easy. I know that's not helping with my weight, and/or the baby's weight. Im waaaay more active than I was the last time(s), but its not like I have a choice, really.

And for all those who are jealous, they forget the horrible time I had the first 4 months where I lost 25 pounds. So, as with all pregnancies, it ends up evening out in the end!
