To Pacify or Not to Pacify?

This is day 2 of going "cold turkey" without the paci. Day 1 -- not so great. Clingy, refusing to nap, grumpy . . . and that was just me! :) No, not really. I did call Philip as he was coming home last night to tell him I was punching out once he got in because of the day we had.

Fortunately, we had a pretty good night's sleep last night. Callie had a little trouble falling asleep and was crying for awhile between 8:30-9:00, but she eventually calmed down on her own. She slept until almost 6:00 this morning, so we did pretty good considering it was our first night without that faithful pacifier.

In other news, we're fast approaching February 5th, which is the date of my ultrasound! I'm very excited. I'm like a kid going to Disney World! (Or me going to Disney World . . . ) We're planning a family date night after the ultrasound, maybe even taking Callie to her first movie, though we haven't completely decided on that as of yet.

This week has been pretty good. We went out shopping and got out of the house all day on Wednesday. That was nice since we had hardly been out of the house because the weather had been so bad, but I was absolutely exhausted by the time we got home from church that night. I guess at 20 weeks pregnant, I just can't go like I did before!

I hope everyone had a great week and has an exciting weekend! God bless you and yours!

Callie is doing really well now without the paci. Going on two weeks now (I think).

Sunday Morning

Yesterday, Callie came into my room while I was finishing up getting ready for church by putting on my jewelry. Callie: Mommy, you're very pretty. Me: Callie, that's very sweet. Thank you! Callie: You're welcome. Daddy's pretty too! Me: Oh Callie, you need to go tell him that . . . :)

Meanwhile, back at the Farm . . .

We're having some exciting happenings around the Booker Farm so I thought I'd write a little bit about what's going on with the kiddos. Callie Callie is so excited that we now have two dogs and three cats. Their names are (dogs) Belle and Ariel, (cats) Duchess, Dixie, and Thomas O'Malley -- Tom for short. She is very excited to be wrapping up another school year and looking forward to our travels this summer. She is taking on more responsibility around the house (which I love) and doing an excellent job for the most part in taking care of all the animals. I'm certainly enjoying watching her grow and blossom in so many ways, but this is especially significant to me. Philip and I are really striving to raise our children to be responsible, caring, and kind adults! I'm now teaching her on Wednesday Night Bible Class and I love observing her for the first time in a classroom setting as her teacher as well. She is a delight to have in class, if I may s...

Sometimes it's hard . . .

I feel like I've finally awoken from a long, chaotic dream. The past couple of weeks have gone so much more smoothly. The first 3 (or so) months with a new baby just throws my world upside down and inside out. While I'm in it, I find it hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel --  that time when we all adapt to each other and find our new routine. I'm not saying I don't love it, because I do. I just don't love all of it! So I'll do a quick little catch up, write Nolan's birth story in another post and we'll be back on track. For a little bit at least. I think I've said before that I love writing. I mean love it. But for some reason, I've never been good at keeping a journal. I really want to. There are so many moments I want to make sure I write down and remember and I want to be good at keeping track of everything. But over and over again I prove it's just not something that I'm consistent with. It irritates me to the point th...
