Pip has been ill. From bug bites to temp, stomach upset and all around icky. We took him to the docs but they just did what I call 'mechanic' test (looked under the hood). No blood tests etc.
Now, call me a pushy NY mother but kid gets covered in bites and a day or two later comes down with lethargy and temp…
He's on the mend but I am keeping my mamma bear eyes pealed.
Mimi on the other hand seems to be going through her terrible two's in her 3's. All attitude, stomping and manipulation. She seems to be testing boundaries all over the place. Know what I want for mothers day? peace. No sleep.

As a mother of three kids, I can tell you that age three is far worse than two. Strap in :)
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with Debbie. Two was nothing. Three was what we now refer to as our year of combat. It's going to be a bumpy ride!
ReplyDeletegulp!
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear Pip is under the weather. I'm with you on doctors doing more than just looking under the hood. I didn't pay that co-pay for you to say, "Let's just watch it." My Peach is like your Mimi - stomping about and all attitude. She takes what she wants (often, from her twin brother). Oh, and for the past year I've been thinking that for Mother's Day, I want to be ALONE in the house for about 4 hours (I'm thinking a long bath, reading for a bit and then taking a nap).
ReplyDeleteI think your blog is very inspiring! Especially for women over 40. Life really doesn’t end in 40-50! It’s only the beginning! You’re absolutely right! It's never too late to become a mother. I know it from my own experience. I gave birth to my daughters when I was 61! During my whole life there were no man to have kids with. I was not really lucky in choosing partners and there were no one whom I wanted to have kids from. So here I am, 58 years old, no kids no family. I thought that it's too late for all these. So I came to terms with the situation and continue my lonely life. But in a couple of months I met my Jorge - the love of my whole life, a man who loved me with his whole heart, a man, whom I gave all my love. All those failures in love were just wiped out and forgotten. Now I have him and nothing else matters. He was 63, he also had no kids. We understood and felt each other from the first meeting. And we've decided that it's time for us to build a family, which we had never had! I have menopause so we were not able to conceive a baby naturally. We didn't back down and decided to try ivf with donor egg. We've found clinic in Ukraine BioTexCom and went there. We became parents of 2 beautiful girls! They are 3 years old and we are the happiest family in the world! The service was good, their doctors are one of the best. They even helped us with our girls, when they were just born. Jorge and I were confused, we had no kids so we were scared to make something wrong. We didn't want to hurt our little babies. We didn't know how to hold our children and how to swaddle them, but the pediatrician and the coordinator of the program really helped us and showed how to do it right. They gave us recommendations how to treat our babies and we are really grateful about that. I've never regret about my decision. Finally I have big family I was dreaming about. I wish you and your boys all the best!
