My brothers friend…………….

My brother has had one close friend since childhood, they have drifted off and on because of life choices. His mom died a few years ago from cancer, and his father and him haven’t really recovered. 

Well it turns out he had a baby. I saw him at the store the other day, and he was there. He was beaming! So happy, I haven’t seen him smile in such a long time. He goes to basic here soon, his life seems to be getting back on track. I am excited for him. 

One of my mom friends……….

This gal, she is a nice lady, and we have lots of things in common, but one thing we do not agree on is vaccines. If she knew my true feelings on them welll… Anyways, I found it comical she is always the first to get vaccines, any of them. She beleives they are awesome, and are 100 percent safe, if they say you need 12 of them she would be the first in line. 

Well they all got the whopping cough vaccine this season, and now all have full blown whooping cough. 

Yikes. 

I am not saying the vaccine caused it, but it obviously didn’t prevent it either.. 

My sisters’ friend………………….

She claims she is in labor, and it freaking out because the hosital wont help her. She isn’t dialated, or contracting regularly, or anything really… So she is not in labor. 

I tried to convince her she had to go through the proces, but what do I know… Labor can take time. 

My mom’s aide……………………..

She is no longer pregnant with twins. My heart breaks for her, I am sure she is more upset than she lets on….

The soon-to-be-wed-couple…………………

We hung out with them this weekend. It was fun. 

They have chosen both of my kids to be in the wedding, plus I am doing the photography.

I need to spend some serious time working on my skills for this. I want their pics to be fantastic, and not subpar.

I also realized it will cost me quiet a bit of money. I have to buy, outfits for both kids, plus figure out the whole picture thing, and then there is I need to be dressed nicely because there will be pictures of me I am sure, and then something for Travis. 

I am hoping they make tuxes small enough. They should right?

Plus it is an hour away, and I am thinking we just need a hotel that weekend. (traveling back at forth with all 3 kids, one who will be only a few months old) I could easily spend 400-500 on just my responsibility. 

 

 

 

The rest of my day……………….

I have my doula appointment this morning, and the OB, then this afternoon is the iep meeting. Oh and I have to take the baby man. Because no one wants a baby dude….

They make suits small… for babies. They’re easier to find around Easter. A formal clothing store would be where I would look first.

RYN: Oh lord… nice for someone to think ahead to the just in case, I guess? The place the grooms are getting their tux from SHOULD have them in even the bittiest of sizes, I would think, for rental. Gabe has some dress suits that were given to us, but he’ll never wear them. We never go/do anything fancy enough to warrant nice clothes like these.

Nice to hear about your brother’s friend and life being full for him again….hope it stays that way for him. Sounds pretty filled for you with that upcoming wedding/photography duties. Glad you have plenty of time to get all that figured out…. whew.

When my Mom & Step-Dad got married Erich was in the wedding, he wasn’t quite two yet and they had a little tux for him from the tux rental place. The only thing was we had to buy shoes for him because they don’t have small rental shoes.
