Long weekend

Our family had an eventful Labor Day weekend. Marcus spent lots of time with his Grammy and PP. He went to Monkey Joe's and dinner on Friday. Saturday he went to Carowinds, and Sunday he went out to the park for Ginger's birthday party. Christopher enjoyed time at home with the parents, but he did go to the park for Ginger's birthday too. Bryan spent most of the weekend cleaning up. He did get to spend some quality time with Kevin and the PS2. I rested some and took care of Christopher. Bryan and I spent most of Sunday and Monday watching the first season of Heroes. It actually is a cool show. I still have a lot more to watch if I want to be up to date before the new season starts. Luckily, Bryan has all the shows downloaded so I can watch them anytime I want. The weekend was pretty good for everyone.

I am sad to say that the baby blues have taken over. I am trying to not let it bother me, but I am feeling the blues pretty bad. The only bright spot in all of it is spending time with Bryan. I just get really down when I am with the boys. I am not 100% yet, so I feel bad that I can't play like I used to. I hope these blues go away soon. I don't like being sad and weepy all the time.

Busy busy

Things here are getting busier. Bryan started classes this week. He has a lot of work to do, but he is very organized. Bryan is working very hard and has already gotten a 100 on a quiz. I am so proud of him, and I keep encouraging him to keep up the great work.

Even though I am supposed to be on maternity leave, I am starting work on Monday. I am not doing anything big. I will be working in a call center on Mondays. It isn't much, but the extra little bit of money will help us out. It will also help me find a full time job when my maternity leave is over. I will train tomorrow night, so I can't wait to see what the job is like. I just hope this will work out like I want it too.

The boys are doing well. They are spending a lot of time with their grandmas. Last week they spent time with my mom and this week it is with Cathy. I know Marcus is loving all of the special attention. Christopher is too little to really express his emotions, but I know he loves the attention.

Well, I better get dinner started before the boys wake up.

New Addition

Bryan, Marcus and I are happy to announce our newest addition Christopher. He was born happy and healthy on August 7th. I have to say it was a great relief to have a healthy little boy. So far life has been pretty good with our new little boy. Marcus is a great big brother. He loves to hold and feed Christopher. Bryan and I are just trying to adjust to not getting much sleep. It has been a long time since we had to get up several times at night. We are hanging in there.

Bryan got some great news today. He found out he got enough financial aid to cover his tuition this year. We are very excited about this. Bryan will start classes on Monday. It is so exciting to know that he is on his way to getting his degree.

On a sad note, I only have five more weeks of being a stay-at-home mom. I am a little sad that I won't be home with my boys, but I am excited to be working again. I miss working and being around adults during the day. I haven't found a job yet, but I know that I will find something.

For now, we are just taking things a day at a time. Life is changing so quickly for us. We went from being separated to living together to having a new family member. Things are going well though. I can't wait to see what happens next.
