This morning we started our Beyond Five In A Row up again,finally got our book from the Library. I will start five in a row with my son Monday,just to see if he will take to it. My daughter gets so bored at times and I have to stop and let her go do her"experiments" oroutside to look at her tadpoles. I really enjoy the unit studies,and I think she does too,she just has too much on her list of things she wants to do each day. My check up went well the other day. i am 21 weeks and the baby is fine. My sugar has been goo so far,but will have to go in every other week then at 28 weeks,every week. I dread that,we really dont have baby sitters for the children and with Samuel having autism,it's gonna be hard sitting there so long. It takes anywhere from 2 to 4 hours for each appointment and it's and hour drive there and back. So if you read this,please say a prayer for him,he really does try hard to not let noise or smells bother him,but they do. I have been craving things now. I havent but now it's more often. My down fall is cake,I love cake. But I know that wouldnt be good so I stay away from the bakery and anywhere there may be cake.HaHa. I have lost 20 pounds since I have been staying away from sugars and process flours. They said that was fine,the baby is getting all he needs. I walk every evening on a treadmill and enjoy that little time with my heads phones on. Our days are pretty full. I'm not pushing the children to do any "lesson" plans,we take it as it comes. I just want to read alot to them and we do projects together. They enjoy that and learn so much from just"life". I love being relaxed and not rushing and fretting like I was in the begining. I've learned(and still learning) to enjoy my children and not stress over things. I fell very blessed to have them and to be having another child is so wonderful,I can wait to hold him and see who he looks like.,.. |

Today has been a productive day for me,as far as cleaning and getting my house in order. Tomorrow I go back to the High Risk clinic to check on baby and insulin. I think the pills are working but my heart always skips a beat when I go there. The children are doing pretty good in our educational studies. Wish I could do more with them,i've just been tired and trying to get caught up on things since I could do much of nothing for a while. We are doing Beyond Five In A Row and so far I love it,My daughter gets bored real easily so I read a little and try to do activites as much as possibe. My son.who is autistic listen to the studies while he stands by the counter making clay objects. If someone was to look in they would think he isnt doing anything but playing,but if I mention something like an animal or something that interest him,he stops and runs to the book to see if there is a picture. In math,I do alot of hands on( when I can) and use rod and staff,saxton math and worksheets from this workbook,sometimes I write out the math problems or they work on the computer. Samuel is learning to add and read 3 letter words. It's hard sometimes to get him to do these things,I get alot of books on tapes so he can follow along with,and leap frog is really good for him. Well thats it today,just trying to stay in prayer for people today that are having situations that need prayer,Thank-God that He has the answers and we can count on Him! |
