Tuesday

Daniel and I are still getting things together for his first day on Thursday.
Today we were off to Traverse City to pick out a brand new outfit for him to wear. I'm not big on kids needing hundreds of dollars of clothes just because its a new school year. Unless they need it, 1 new outfit is enough. Daniel does NOT need clothes(thank you to my sister-in-law for generously donating David's hand-me-downs) Daniel loves that some of his clothes are from his cousin. I'm sure one day, he won't want to wear his big cousin's stuff, but right now...he LOVE that David used to wear it.
We picked out new shirts, a new pair of shorts and we got a costume for Halloween! I'm normally not the prepared Mom. On October 29th, i'm normally the one scrambling around town trying to find something for him to wear for Halloween. Last year, I bought a costume on Ebay(gotta love overnight shipping) and paid out the nose for it. This year, we came across it at The Childrens Place and he fell in love with it!(it was on sale too!!YAY!)
So now I won't be the Mom with the ribbon, alluminum foil and a cardboard box saying"i'm sure we can do something with this.."

I had a Dr's appt today in Traverse City. Went about as well as I expected. I have to go back Tuesday for more tests and then I have to meet with another Dr to discuss a surgery to get things moving in the right direction... While we were at my Dr's office in Traverse City, Daniel asked Dr.Kurtz what kind of a Dr she was(OBGYN) she told him" i'm the one that helped get you out of your Mommy's tummy"...he thought for a second..Then says to her "well how did I get in there?"..she says "thats something you should ask your Daddy.." hehe. So funny. Love that kid. Of course I told him that Daddy and I asked Jesus for a LONG time to bring you to us and finally one day-he put you in my tummy..The End.
Nervous about the meeting with the other Dr. Nervous about the entire situation. An odd place to be, wanting to have another baby so bad yet on the other hand, needing to be healthy enough to take care of the one I have... This is all in God's hands, all of it. I know he will take care of my family and me. If it is his will for us to add to our family, he will make that happen. I have to turn it over to him and let him do his work.

Tomorrow brings a visit to pre-school for Daniel to meet with his teacher, fill out the rest of the paperwork and find out where he'll store his backpack and art shirt. He's pretty excited. We talked alot today about going to school. I was worried about him getting upset that we are actually taking him there and then leaving. Tonight he asked me..you aren't going to stay with me tomorrow are you? Yes buddy, but Thursday you get to stay ALL by yourself.
"thats good..I'm not a baby mommy.."
I know..I know..
