Daddy's At Work

Kourtney ADORES her Daddy! When he is gone she walks around saying "Daddy's home?".... "Daddy's at work". It used to be a sad thing for her but now it's just the norm. She doesn't say it with sadness in her voice anymore. That makes it a lot easier for me to handle. She is an emotional child and loves to be around people. She is always asking for Nana and PaPa (my parents) and sometimes I sit down and cry when she does that. How do you explain that you're 1000 miles away from Nana and PaPa to a 2 1/2 year old? You don't. Jordan is starting a new job on Monday. I am so FLIPPIN' excited. It's in Provo so we'll save a fortune on gas, and he gets every single Sunday OFF! Instead of having to work 1-10 every Sunday which is really lame. I don't know how he feels about the new job. I think lately his thought process is, "a job is a job". I'll just be happy to have him closer. Kourtney and I get to go eat lunch with him once a week :) I am pregnant... with a dancer/gymnast apparently. ANOTHER GIRL!!! How exciting! We don't have to buy all new clothes!!! We couldn't be happier to be adding another baby girl to our family. Don't ask me what we're naming her. We don't know yet. I love love love the name Kloey Alice and so does Jordan.... but he would like to keep all options open for right now. So, that's what we're doing. (much to my mother's dismay) lol. For now Kourtney calls her "baby sisser". I love it. She gave baby sisser a kiss goodnight last night. She is so sweet. Kourtney is a clone of her mother... in looks, in personality, in just about everything. There is good and bad in this. Sometimes I want to shake her and say, "NO! Stop doing this one thing that Mommy has learned doesn't get you anywhere"... I don't think she would listen to me if I did that. So, I calmly and patiently try to teach her. Calm and patient are attributes that I recently started working on... and they are ones that she barely possesses right now. Then there are times when I love that she does something exactly like I do. She is so full of love for everyone. I'm not saying that I love perfectly, but I do have love for and care a great deal about others. She has this same quality. I love to see her loving so much. Poor thing needs friends. I found a little preschool summer school thing that we will hopefully be able to do this summer. I think that she will really love it! She loves learning and being around other children. I threw the idea of being an art or drama high school teacher at Jordan this morning before he left for work.... he actually liked it. We'll see what comes of it. I miss him. I wish that we could make money just being at home together. He is pretty spectacular. Yesterday my doc put me on bedrest b/c of some contrations and pressure. He took very good care of me. (let me tell you... I never want to have to do that again) This morning he left me with strict instructions to "not do anything". After trying to explain to him that that is quite impossible... he still insisted. Oh, and don't worry. Contractions and pressure both went away. I know what the problem is. I'm not sleeping enough. When I do have the opportunity to take a nap I usually exercise and clean the house. I'm changing that today. Sleep is more important right now. I will take walks with Kourtney and let the house go a little bit. Other than that... it's not worth having a baby at 24-25 weeks. Not worth it at all. Well... there's my update :)
