Day 3

Doing better! I didn't even cry when I had to say good-bye on the web cam this evening. But I did cry when I emailed Scott tonight.

So I feel like I'm getting the hang of being a single mom again. I went to our ward picnic tonight. By myself with the kids, and we had a good time.

So 3 down 87 more to go!

Day 2

I don't know if I will post everyday, but I just thought I would post about how well things went today.

I went to the doctor with all three kids! Gavin is doing well he weighed 7 lb 6 oz, which is good because I was worried about him gaining weight.

Then we went to McDonalds for lunch, and off to school for Adelle. Then after all that Lilly, Gavin and I came back to the house and took a nap. Then back to the school to pick up Adelle, home for a snack, chores and homework. Then we visited with Sarah and new baby William and then went to my parents for dinner.

So three things that I want to work on for next week, meals (on my own no help from McDonalds or mom) getting the girls to bed at 9:00 not 9:30, and reading to them before they go to bed. Those are my goals for next week. Also I am going to eat healthy to get this pregnancy weight off.

Anyway I am doing great and tomorrow is going to be great too!

Last night after I had fed Gavin we were snuggling and he just looked up at me for two or three minutes and just sighed ah, ah, ah. It was heaven.

Then today my friend Cindy came over and Gavin just smiled so big at her! I love having this boy with us!

Day 1

So today I took my warrior to the airport and waved him off to learn the ways of the Secret Service. I have to say I've done alright. I've only burst into tears five or six times today. Being a single mom (again, remember when Scott was working full time and going to school full time) just makes me realize that life is so much easier when you have your other half.

I feel strong and confident though that I will become a better person for this experience. I am trying to look at the positives, like I'll be able to finally catch up on all my blogging. (I know, I know I will get pictures up of Gavin, and Adelle's first day of school!)

I just wanted to say for my own benefit that I am a strong woman, and I CAN do this! And that I am so grateful to my wonderful husband that is willing to sacrifice this next while to make our lives better! (Not that it will be completely horrible for him, he gets to do fun boy stuff!)

Anyway sorry to bore you all with my life. I promise that I will post fun stuff about the kids really soon!
