Words of Wisdom

**Contains womanly content male readers, may want to not read**
My husband is going to think this post is inappropriate but it's just a fact of life, sorry honey.


I have heard from many of you and have had a few experiences of my out of nowhere suddenly have to "go," or where a laugh, or a sneeze, or perhaps I just drinking too much water prior to a run which makes you nearly pee your pants. Leaving you thinking, "where did that come from" and "what happened to me, can I not control myself?" This phenomenon is normal after childbirth and is also part of aging--another great thing to look forward to :)

A couple Sundays ago we were at Andrew's parents house and after dinner I was looking through the Sac Bee, pulling out advertisements, the comics, the section with the recipes, and the parade. So Andrew's amazing Grandma Lois joins Robin and I at the table and she opens the Parade and is looking through it and there is an add for Depends, for those who don't know Depends are adult diapers. Now one thing I especially love about Lois is that she will tell you what she is thinking and she is super sharp so I always listen to what she has to say.

She leans in and says to Robin and I and asked us "Do you two know what Kegels are... we're nodding as she continues "they strengthen your pelvic floor muscles." She continues on saying, "You can do them (kegel's) anywhere; the car, while grocery shopping, at church, watching t.v. and let me tell you, they work!" We are laughing and at this point maybe a little embarrased to be having this conversation with Lois but she was a nurse so she has credibility besides being a woman and a grandma.

It gets better, "Girls, you need to do them, your future DEPENDS on it."
Get it?
She is hilarious to boot.

Now literally everytime I have to us the restroom (I am tying to be politically correct, I have almost written pee so many times) which happens to be a lot because I am pregnant I think of her words of wisdom "your future DEPENDS on it!"

So remember,

Post dinner entertainment

What do the Morgan's do on a Friday night you wonder. I would love to say that on this night I got all dolled up and we went out child-free but that's not the truth but it does sounds dreamy.


Tonight after dinner we headed out back to hang out and enjoy another dip Carson's his Dino pool when Carson decides to livin things up a bit by grabbing the hoola hoop and saying "your turn!" How could we resist?


Concentrate.

Put your back into it!

Great job guys, you are a 10 in my book! Looks like we still got what it takes.

From there the boys shot some hoops and Carson got catapulted up in the air.


Carson decided as pay back he would try to ram Andrew with his lawn mower but was evaded 'cause dad has mad jumping skills.

Watch out, here I come.


"Honk." I love my boys!

186

That is the number of times Carson said my name between 9:30 and 11:30 am, one hundred and eighty six times, unbelievable...I actually think he might have said it more but I lost track when he said "mommy" multiple times in a row. This morning I took him to the mall to play because it had rained last night and was still a little gloomy out plus it is always nice to get out the house. So we get to the mall and he literally is the only kid who will not just go play, all the kids are running around, climbng, sliding, and exploring. He would venture off somewhere and then call my name or cling to my arm and end up crawling in my lap. He is so attached to me and it drives me crazy! I love that he is a lover-boy and that he likes to cuddle and I undertand that I am his only play-mate most often but sometimes a little space would be nice. He was not being bad mind you just clingy and it makes me wonder what will I ever do with two? I have never before counted his words but I was getting a little annoyed and was quickly becoming irritated with a headache to boot and thought to make light of the situation I would make a game out of it and it helped! I guess I am just anxious for Andrew to come home, I think I am realizing that three days is my limit.

Post-nap update, up ten minutes 24 "mommy's" and counting but what I realize is that although he may drive me crazy he makes me feel like a million bucks the next. I'm going to go cuddle that sweet boy who is all curls because he sweats when he sleeps and enjoy these moments because I don't know anyone who loves me as much as he does...ok maybe my husband but that's a close call.
