I’m almost 36 weeks pregnant with my 4th child. It is possible this baby boy could come soon, however if previous births are any indication we still have about a month left. (My babies are always 1-2 weeks late.) I have been intentionally ignoring thoughts of the upcoming birth. You see, I’ve had 3 natural…
Christmas is only a few days away and as I see friends post pictures of their child’s school Christmas party or play I start to feel a little mom guilt for homeschooling Jude. He is an extremely social kid, he craves social interaction. Since we started homeschooling he receives far less socialization than he used…
Since I started homeschooling Jude I’ve been observing his educational development. As we entered into this homeschool thing I didn’t have much understanding as to where he stood educationally. I didn’t know what he knew or how he learned. After his full psychological evaluation we learned that he has an above average IQ but not…
Yesterday we took our first official homeschool field trip to Imagination Station Kid’s History and Science Museum in Wilson, NC. I purchased a Groupon that gave our whole family admission to the museum for just $7. Joe is on vacation this week and Wilson, NC is only about a 45 minute drive from our house…
As of today I’m 31 weeks pregnant with baby 4. Even though this is my 4th pregnancy nothing about a pregnancy is boring. Each time I’ve been pregnant I am amazed at this creation of new life that is forming within my body and how the female body is designed to transform during this journey….
Noah started preschool this week. He absolutely loves it. Having Noah attended preschool a few hours a morning frees up a little of my time to work with Jude. We are still trying to establish a daily routine that works best for Jude but ultimately we play each day by ear. Jude works best when…
One of the challenges I face with Homeschooling Jude is his insatiable appetite for learning. He needs to be constantly consuming or regurgitation information almost constantly. I think it’s awesome that he loves to learn but it can also become burdensome when I also have to keep 2 toddlers entertained. So we have started to…
We’re about halfway through our 1st week of homeschool. I’m still waiting on some of our curriculum that I ordered to arrive, in the meantime I’m improvising. Everyday I have Jude work on reading, writing, spelling, and math then we just sort of wing it. I’m hoping to get connected with a local Classical Conversations…
With each pregnancy I find that my hip pain increases exponentially. In the past I only experienced pain during the last few weeks of pregnancy when the extra weight of the baby weighed on my hips but this time around I started feeling hip and pelvic pain during the 1st trimester. Pretty much any position…
