Here are some funny things the kids have said lately:
Me: So, Kierra, we're going to go see some really cool Christmas lights that dance to music. We'll just sit in the car and watch and it will be crazy cool.
Kierra: (just stares at me with big eyes for a few seconds) You just knocked my brain out.
Kierra: Logan's my boyfriend (she said this numerous times over the course of the week)
Me: No, he's your cousin. We don't inbreed.
Logan: Well I do.

Update on Crazy
Things have been pretty crazy here lately. Last week, as soon as we got home from our week-long vacation at my sister's (had so much fun! Thanks!), I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes. It's a lot more stressful and hard to deal with than it sounds, but each day gets a little bit easier. The day after my huge appointment at the hospital with a dietician and nurse to learn how much my life will have to change for the next 2 months, Jacob came down with croup, which turned into pneumonia the next day. The day after that, Jeromy left on a business trip. Stress always comes in three's, right?
Luckily, my sweet mother-in-law saved the day and rearranged her schedule for us so she could come down and help. Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Things got much better as soon as she arrived, including Jacob's pneumonia. It went away almost completely in about 3 days. So glad we caught it early, what a blessing. So now we're kind of in limbo, trying to get over this cold Jacob gave me, and trying to just deal. This diet is so hard! It takes so much mental energy, which I don't have thanks to the diabetes. And I thought Weight Watchers was difficult! This is 10 times worse. Oh well. Only 8 (at most) more weeks till baby!!!
The kids have been really good this week. After breakfast this morning, I wasn't feeling up to doing anything, so I laid down on the couch. The girls went upstairs, got into their princess dresses, and got out their new Go Fish game. Jacob just played with cars around them. Huge relief that they know how to play by themselves (and not fight!!). Last week was a different story.
So that's how things are going around here. Next week will be much better!
