I haven't updated in a while and I start to feel REALLY guilty. We are lucky because we get Jake all day everyday but I know that my intention was to share Jake with everyone and I haven't done the best job recently.
J is great! He is doing so well in preschool. He even waves to the bus now! It has been about 4 weeks since he started school and he is finally starting to adjust. His teachers say that he is happy and waiving to everyone. They tell me that they don't see "sad Jake" making an appearance as often. This breaks my heart that they even had to see him sad but he is adjusting and that is the important part. He sure is happy when I pick him up so I know he still loves daycare

(Above is a message from Jake-he loves the computer and can be very distracting while I'm typing. I have to pull out all of ideas to distract him back to his own thing!)
Anyway, the next biggest news, which I think everyone already knows already, is that we are expecting again! Jake is going to be a big brother!!! Just when it was sinking in and we were getting very excited to have another baby, we found out that we are expecting TWINS! It was one of those moments that I will never, ever, ever forget! It all made sense to me when I found out (after lots and lots of shock) why I had been feeling (and still feel) so bad. This pregnancy isn't treating me well and between being pregnant with twins, working full time, and having Jake-I'm struggling. Bobby has been the most amazing person ever and has taken "Jake" off my list of responsibilities completely. I couldn't be more thankful for him and how understanding and helpful he has been. He is an amazing daddy and he always says to me, "Did you ever think I wouldn't do this?" and it isn't that I even thought he wouldn't help, because he always does, but it is that I don't even have to say a word and he does everything. He cooks, cleans, takes care of Jake and takes care of me. He is the best.
Because Bobby and I like to do things the hard way, our kids do too! We are having mono-mono twins (click on the words to read a little about it-and although I linked to wikipedia, which isn't always reliable, you can get the idea of the type of twins there). I don't exactly know what our future will hold as far as this pregnancy but I do know that I will be the biggest advocate for the health of these twins. My regular OB doesn't have much experience with mono-mono twins so I pushed for an earlier than planned visit to a high risk OB. I will probably make another bog in the near future about these little ones so that Jake can still have his own special spot where he is the focus. :)
Back to the best little boy.....his speech therapist emailed me a week or so ago asking if he had anything that he HATES to eat and will spit out. I thought and thought (and even had to ask for advice from my mom since I just couldn't think of anything) and still didn't have many ideas. He will always take a bite of food and if he doesn't like it (he used to keep it in this mouth until we excavated) he swallows it gives a nasty face and want more. I told them bananas, eggs, juice, and most veggies. They emailed me back that he is keeping them laughing because the know he doesn't like the food because of his faces but he will still take more bites. It is like he thinks he should do it so it does it-reguardless if he doesn't like it! He is funny. I just keep picturing his face when he drinks juice at school and seeing him not like it and then taking another drink. Oh boy.
I am having a meeting with all of his teachers in a couple of weeks so I will get more info about how he is doing and their direction with him soon. I am looking forward to it because not having a hand in his therapy and the structured part of his day is really hard.
So we have a three year old who is acting the part. He wants what he wants and nothing else will work. I like that he has an opinion but it is also okay with me if he is his usual easy-going self too. We just love this little boy to pieces.
