Apparently that’s the thought of our newest little one. Our tiny tyke has been making “her” (according to all the grandparents anyway) known much today. This afternoon I was doing some big important camp research, and the laptop must have been “in the way” because there was a series of jabs from the inside out. “I insist that you remove whatever it is that is taking up my valuable lap space!” Man, if I could only be sold as real estate I’d make a fortune as popular as the limited space seems to be! Anyway, I’ll be 16 weeks tomorrow, and I’m pleasantly surprised that I can feel this little one so well! With Qade I waited and waited and people kept asking if I felt anything, and I’d be like, “Uh… I dunno” cause I wasn’t sure what it was “supposed” to feel like. It’s pretty clear this time around though. Another active tot just content to poke from the inside. What fun that must be! They must somehow know that once they get “out” kicking mom is frowned upon, so they have to get it all in while they still can.
I don’t mind. I like the little reminders through the day that hey, someone is in there and wants a little mommy attention.

Hello People. Qade and I have been having a little adventure in New Mexico! We came over on Friday. It was a fun trip. The getting ready for it wasn’t. That morning I was trying to pack and make sure I had all the “gear” I need for Qade. Well, he had obviously made up his mind to be as cantankerous as possible. He ended up in his crib for a “time out” because he wouldn’t stop screaming. FINALLY we were all packed, and headed out. Qade took a nice nap while I was driving, and woke up just in time to be hungry for lunch. We stopped at a Love’s and I got a subway sandwich and he got chicken tenders. Our little picnic in the vehicle was oodles of fun. It was way too blowy and chilly outside to attempt it. Then we made it to Grandpa and Grandma’s house after that. Their church’s mother/daughter dinner was that night, so we got to attend. Qade doesn’t know he’s not a daughter, and since he freaked out when Uncle James tried to take him to the nursery, he had to hang out with the ladies anyway.
We don’t mind. Qade has just recently started this separation anxiety thing. Hopefully this summer with spending lots of time around different people will help. He’s not awful, at this point, but it’s certainly there. Anyway, we’ve just been hanging out and having fun. We went to Wendy’s for lunch after church Sunday, and Qade (since he had been given lots of snacks in the nursery) threw all his food on the floor.
I was a terrible mom and just left it for the Wendy’s people to clean up. It’s certainly harder doing stuff as a “single” ma. I’m ready to go home and see my man again!! Today I ran to the mall to get some “stuff.” I’m having a hard time finding any cute maternity tops.
I did find some pants and capris on sale though, so that was cool. This afternoon, Qade has his one year picture appointment! Hope he’s in a smily mood! Tomorrow we shall be homeward bound and finally get to see our very much missed Stuart! Qade misses his daddy, and I miss my hubby!
