Valentines day.
Martyn slept so good last night, I could hardly believe it after the last few days. I really needed that. Poor Eli on the other hand, woke up sick this morning. I didn't even know he was sick until I checked facebook this afternoon. When he got home tonight he took his temperature and it was 101.1...Dang it! And I have a sore-ish nose and throat. I took some Zycam....I told Eli to take some two days ago. Uhg.
Hopefully we can keep Martyn from catching anything. I had thought this morning that he was sick....He hadn't pooped all night and for part of the morning, and I had nursed him several times. He was just a little constipated I guess...it worked it's self out, ha!
So I've been considering for a while about going to school to become a midwife. I'm gonna do it. I don't know how yet, but I'm gonna figure out a way to do it.
It's the first thing I've ever really felt passionate about, besides my son and husband... but as far as a career goes. The first time I can see myself doing something in ten years, and that's an exciting feeling.
So Martyn, has started farting in his sleep....a lot. Which is super cute....I've coined the nickname 'Fartin' Martyn'....Ha! I'm sure he'll appreciate that more when he's older (or be terribly embarrassed by his dear mother) Eli hates it though....So I'm trying to only say it once in a while, in a loving, playful way...hehe.
I love being a mom! (and wife!)
Actually, enrolling in school and taking out some subsidized federal loans (aka "good debt") is a pretty great way to finance being a stay-at-home mom until Martyn's older and you are ready to start working as a midwife. Especially since you could probably do the science pre-req courses as online classes from PSU or something, and not even have to find a babysitter for the couple hours you'll be "in class."
ReplyDeletep.s. I have to agree with Eli about the Fartin Martyn thing. He'll get enough of that at school. Hearing it ahead of time, so he's prepared with a come-back is good... but if it annoys him at school and then he comes home and you're used to saying it, it could make for a very upset little boy.
