My darling Angela wanted an update...so I'm updating...

To start, Chris FINALLY got a job and he LOVES it! And that couldn't have come at a better time since we know we are having another baby in 9 months or so. So, this week, I'm working at the Children's Place but after Saturday...I will be going per diem at the store, which means I will help set the displays when new product comes in...and that's my favorite and I still get my employee discount! Edward's homeschooling is going very well! Yesterday, I found a book at Barnes and Noble called "Homeschool Your Child For Free"...Here's a link for those who are interested: Homeschool Your Child for Free, LauraMaery Gold, Book - Barnes & Noble
Preston is starting to talk more and uses more words....right now his favorite word is "broke"....a couple weeks ago, I was up in our room on the computer and Preston was playing in the kids' room, Chris and Edward were downstairs...I noticed that Preston got really quiet...so I went into the boys' room and he was on Edward's bed...which isn't allowed...they aren't allowed on each other's beds...mainly because Edward's is high and I don't want Preston to fall off, so I go in the room and Preston is on Edward's bed, and I say "Preston...you're not supposed to be on brother's bed." and Preston says "Huh?" I also noticed that he was no longer wearing pants...so I say "Preston, where are your pants?" and he says "Broke!" so I say, "Broke?" and he says "Yep, broke!"

As far as the pregnancy, I'm not having too many symptoms expect the sore boobs, I'm starving all the time but nothing sounds good...(that's just me as a whole! ), I feel sick every now and then but not actually gotten sick yet, and last night I was super bloated....And I'm tired all the time and I pee all the time! But that's it so far.

I took a belly pic today, but I have to work tonight and I should be getting ready, so if I'm not exhausted when I get off of work tonight, I'll post it, but otherwise....expect it tomorrow!

That's so great to hear Brandi! I'm glad things are working out well for you guys! That's so cute about Preston saying his pants are "broke." LOL

[LisanAndy]

Sounds like everything's going well Brandi, I'm so glad! I'm DEFINITELY going to check out that link since we'll be home schooling. I'm so excited to see a lot of home schoolers in our DDC, how awesome

[Mod-LadyCoconut]

Prestons pants are 'broke' -- that's cute! Glad Chris got a job... great timing! Glad to hear an update from you -- I'll be lurking in the Nov DDC for sure!

[Resi]

Preston is so cute! haha.. leave them alone for a few minutes and they get into something they shouldn't be in or on. Are you planning on tandem nursing? I'm jealous that you are pregnant! I want to get pregnant soonish!

[Chelnae6]

Go ahead Resi and work on giving Oliver another bro or sis!

I'm glad you're feeling okay and hve not actually thrown up or anything Brandi. So does broke mean that he couldnt get them back up? lol.

Thats great that youre looking into home schooling. I couldnt do it, but I do wish you the best and keep us updated on it. I dont know anyone IRL who homeschools

[IamMom]

Hey Brandi - good to hear things are going well with the jobs and the kids and the pregnancy and all that!!! Do you think this one might be a girl....hmmmmmm - do you want a girl or another boy or don't you care?

Totally jealous you get a discount at Childrens Place!!! I give you props for trying the home school thing....I could never do it ....I'm a bad teacher...I was a bad tutor in college and as manager at my previous firm this was a weak point for me cause I get easily frustrated when people don't catch onto things quickly ...I'd be way too hard on my kids. It's actually NEVER going to be an option in my household...because my DH was home schooled for a bit when he was young and he feels like it really negatively effected his social growth and well being and led to some naive and unwise decisions in his life.....but that was his mother and his experience.... I respect his extreme feelings toward (against) homeschooling. I hope your boys appreciate you doing that for them though!

[midnight_starr]

Glad to hear Chris got a job!!! I'm also very excited for you and your pregnancy!!! I will be stalking your DDC for sure!!!!

[alicenwonderland]

Glad everything is going well for you Brandi! I'm glad your DH has a job he likes... that's our current issue right now lol.

[soImarriedAnerd]

YEAH!!!!!!! Thanks for the update....even with out pics so far
So what is hubby's new job? And I want to hear more about your homeschooling....I am interested in maybe doing it but scared I will screw him up

[fromGirltoMommy]

Thanks for the update. We all miss you around here

Im glad Chris has a job that he likes! And Im so glad Edwards homeschooling is going great! That book sounds great!! Hey why dont we get picture updates?! Preston sounds ADORABLE!! Broke!

And woohoo on your pregnancy, and not feeling sick. Although not wanting anything sucks just as bad, I think!

[.Brandi.]

Okay, here are the pictures I promised!

Here is my first belly pic of the 3rd pregnancy.



And here is Preston in his Easter outfit...I don't have Edward in his because it was too big and I had to exchange it...


He wasn't happy about having his picture taken!

I'll take photos of Edward in his Easter outfit as soon as I get back home...I left my wallet at work last night! Stupid preggo brain!

[Chelnae6]
