So, yes folks, we are pretty sure we are having another girl. Not 100% sure, but pretty sure. We have mostly started to call “it” “she”. I will feel much better with confirmation one way or the other in a month.

Well, we had Veteran’s Day off from work, so we took Courtney to day care and spent the day cleaning. Except for the part of the day where I had to go to school and take an accounting test. Which by the way, I got a 96% on! We got a lot of the stuff cleared out of the baby’s room. Now we have several trips to make to Goodwill. And I have to take pictures to list some things on Craig’s List. But we can at least see most of the room! And once I get all Christmas presents wrapped and shipped out, or delivered to where they belong, we can finish clearing out the room and then move furniture out. THEN we can start to move baby furniture in.

Yesterday Courtney went in the basement with Hubby to do something. She saw the baby swing that we had pulled out. She asked what it was. Of course once she heard it was a swing she wanted to sit in it. Hubby explained to her that it was for her new baby sister once she gets here. Fast forward about an hour, we were walking around REI and she starts saying “where’s my baby sister? Where’s my sister?” Not sure if she thought we were going to be purchasing her baby sister at the store, or it finally hit her that she was going to actually have a baby sister. But it was pretty cute.

She has transitioned rooms at day care officially now. On Friday morning I took her in and opened the door to her old room. She refused to enter and said she wanted to go to the Zebra room, her new room. The teacher said I could go ahead and take her down to the Zebra room. She spent the whole day down there and is now officially a Zainey Zebra.

I guess as usual I am not happy with the transition. They are supposed to be transitioning out 4 of the oldest kids next week. But for now, the age gap is pretty big. They have 24 month olds up to 30 month olds. At this age range, that is a pretty wide span and really is a big difference in size and abilities and such.

When I walked in the room on Friday afternoon to pick her up, there were a LOT of kid in the room and it felt very chaotic in the room. I hate that feeling. I don’t like the idea of little Courtney being stuck in a room that just has chaos in the air. AND while I was standing there trying to gather her stuff, one of the larger kids just walked right up to her and pushed her down. Courtney had just been standing there not doing anything! Thankfully the teacher saw it too, and made the other kid apologize to Courtney. I also walked over and told Courtney to tell the girl how that made her feel, but she still isn’t great at using her words. Plus she was pretty stunned. I walked out of there with that sick feeling in my stomach that I hate. That feeling of: maybe I should just quit my job and stay home with her. However, that is not very realistic for us, so hopefully next week goes smoother.

Other than all that, things are pretty much the same around here. Hubby was allowed to purchase himself a new laptop for work, so he has a new MacBook Pro. He just got it Friday and has spent every possible minute on it since it arrived. One of these days I am going to have to start hiding his power cord while he is home.

Well, I need to go and spend time with the kid and work on laundry. Hope everyone is well!
