I realized my posts stopped since week 17. The pregnancy had gotten difficult and I was increasingly tired. What with that and also some glitches with my photos, I was not able to keep up with the posts. I made a good choice to stop blogging, I feel. I needed rest, and the last months of last school year were a miracle to finish!
We did finish, even if we skipped over some fun stuff. I tried my best to still make some memories out of the 1850-Modern Times year, as well as K for Baby Sis.
At the end of April, we did our CAT tests (formal for Big Bro, practice for Big Sis) and wrapped up a week before Wee Bro made his appearance.
The whole summer was Baby School. The first two months of newbornhood was hard for hubby and I. I think we forgot the toll of it. Even though we (and all the siblings) LOVE this little peanut, those two months were really exhausting, physically and mentally. Now that he is three months old, and we are ready for yet another new school year, I am so thankful that things settled and he is simply a joy to have around. Smiley, interactive, a superb nurser, and a good sleeper. God is our Ebenezer once again.
Well, I thought I'll not go back to the posts...but to just highlight some interesting things we did for weeks 18-36. =)
Some art projects we did:
