Woops, I'm Pregnant! and My Kiddo Works For His Supper

Can you believe CJ is going to be 12 years old, 2 weeks (TWO WEEKS!), AFTER Skylar Marie is born? Her estimated due date is March 8th but she's a little bigger so maybe March 5th. Lordy, how did this happen?

Wait, don't answer that. I *know* how this happened but Lordy. I mean, just Lordy.

As if the age difference wasn't enough, my husband's two other kiddos are 14 and 10. So we'll have a 14 year old, a 12 year old, a 10 year old, and a brand new "Woops, we're pregnant!" munchkin!

Yes, woops.

The older child, 14 year old Aaron, asked in horror if we were going to tell Skyler she was woops. Yes, sir. Skylar will know she was a beautiful accident that we all look forward to having in our lives now that the initial OMG moments have died down a bit.

There are still the typical "what if I don't remember how to do this?!" freak-outs now and then but for the most part, we (mostly I) have settled into acceptance and making things joy-joy.

Okay, now that I've gotten that out of my system a little, I can talk about how proud I am of CJ and the work he has been doing on his website.

Don't get me wrong. I still do about half of everything and will probably have a presence there until he decides to kick me out but he's definitely taking on more and more of the responsibility.

CJ's Kids Club was initially intended to be a way for CJ to continue his speech therapy through podcasts and a social outreach of sorts to help him keep in contact with all the amazing people we were meeting on our travels. Then we discovered you could actually make money and get free stuff with it too. So he's taking it more seriously now.

The timing couldn't be better for me too. I will admit I was starting to feel overwhelmed and wondering if I needed to put CKC down. With the new baby coming, me trying to work, and juggling regular life stuff, I just didn't know if I could do it anymore.

Wishing you much peace, happiness, and success,
