We got some great news over thanksgiving break! You might recall that in the beginning of the school year I began watching a baby during the days, it was a real blessing for me to have a baby around since we were trying at the time and a blessing for the boys to get used to a baby and of course a financial blessing as well. Unfortunately after a few months around the end of October Baby T's dad became jobless, so I did watch baby T few times when they had interviews but for the most part we never saw him. It was hard for me because i missed having a baby around and of course I had gotten used to having a bit more "fun" money. It had also given me a new sense of purpose. So at first it was very sad for me, and of course as friends of the family we felt concern for them as well.
The news we got over the break was that Baby T's dad got a job! So I am once again watching baby T during the week days! It is so great and he is still so cute, of course now he is crawling everywhere but its fun because he loves the boys and will follow them around sometimes they are being really silly and Baby T will laugh for like 5 min at a time at the silly big boys!
Its been a really neat thing though because Baby T's parents have expressed many time their gratitude that i have been so kind and flexible about the whole thing (its not been terrible because of course I am home with kids anyways ;)) but it has been a blessing for me as well. Interestingly the month I did not have tucker was the worst part of my pregnancy i was basically bedridden, i am not exaggerating when I say that I literally did not leave my room and it was very hard on all of us. Mitchell was amazing during that time and did all the housework and everything. It is neat beacus I could not have watched Baby T at that time, I could hardly get by. But by the time Thanksgiving rolled around i had improved a lot and they had found a really good combination of medications for me. It all worked out. The Lord made everything work together.
So we have 3 boys at our house all day and it is fun!
