*hugs* It's a fabulous, wild, intense ride, yeah?

I keep meaning to email/call you about the 27th/28th. I hope there's still some sort of possibility. I'll ring you.

[willysunny]

I'm sure we can get together. I don't think we have anything going on (except usual yard work). Do you have my new cell number? If not, I'll email it to you.

[inspiredlife]

Problem is, it's mid-week. Anyway, we'll talk about it. I have a mobile number but i reckon you should email me it, just in case.

* YAY! for the new job... *tear* for leaving the old one behind, no matter how much you're looking forward to the new one!

* And Ethan? I'm guessing he's going through the "I won't be the baby anymore" phase. And he'll get throught it and be the best big brother this little life will have. Why? Because he's loved and you and Adriaan will help him be that wonderful big brother.

I think it's partly the whole "I'm not a baby anymore." But I also think he's sooo sensitive and seeing me not feel well...it really upsets him. That's why he crawls all over me, and moans with me, and doesn't want us to go to school. He always says we need to take off a day because "we're" sick. It's like Ethan + Mommy = one being. It's sweet, but I also want him to try to be a little independent, maybe get me the saltine cracker and the cup of tea instead of requesting one with me. But this is how he's handling it and it's really okay. Once my belly starts to swell and we can hear the heart beat and see images on an ultrasound, I think he'll get into it more. For now, I think he's just worried about me. And therefore wants me to rock him as much as possible.

[nefernat]

Well... this would of course be the ideal time to start making him that little bit independent. Maybe ask him to get you the cracker or something like that. It'll also make him feel like he's helping you and that's important for the both of you I think :D

How did I miss that you were pregnant??? Congratulations!!! :D

Also... I think we're about three months ahead of you on the clinginess and weepiness and general melancholy. Seeing you post about it makes me think that perhaps it really is just a stage (and, therefore, I haven't done something to irreparably harm Gillian... ). I've read that somewhere between 5 1/2 and 6 a lot of kids enter into a more 'down' time and I've definitely seen that play out here. The good news that once they come out of it, they're supposed to be especially sunny for awhile. *crosses fingers*

God, I hope so. Because he's making me depressed, the little darling. I adore him so and I hate seeing him all weepy. And it's exhausting the heck out of me.

Lots of special time. That's what I'm finding that works. I'm taking him to hear some chamber music tonight. We'll see if he actually sits through it. :)

Congratulations!!! Seven weeks to go and then you are feeling a lot better *hugggs* As for Ethan, what worked wonders with Katrina (who was two at the time, so maybe Ethan isn't as easily fooled as she was ;) was to make the whole business about how Katrina is going to be a Big Sister. Everybody played along, like when Bramble was born, the guests were coming to see "the Big Sister" who then proudly showed them the "Little Sister" :))))

Parenting can bring such sadness one moment and joy the next. It still does, even when the kids are 14 and 16. Just love him lots (which I know you do without question) and he'll be just fine.

*hugs tight*

*passes you crackers, dry toast, and tea*
