Adventure Raising Kids

After a few hours of intense pain I gave birth to a little boy. I named him Christopher, but we will call him Chris. He is friendly and loves the outdoors. Ramsi and I were nervous when it was time to bring him home. We both were exhausted and the thought of not having the help from the doctors and nurses was scary. We packed our bags and came home. Chris was introduced to his new bed and I went to bed myself. Ramsi tried to clean up the house some and cook some food.

The months flew by. I decided to take some time off work , until Chris was at least a toddler. I could do this easily because I could still bring in money selling my produce and fishing. I also found some rare seeds to plant, but I had no clue what these plants would produce. Chris’ birthday fell on a Monday and Ramsi took off so we could give Chris a proper birthday party. I hadn’t seen Sunny in about a year and was wanting her to come over and meet my men. Chris grew up to look like his dad with big brown eyes.

We were able to add an addition to our house and move out of our tent. It was sad to see it go, but I packed it away in the closet so we could take it on our next adventure to France. For now Chris will be sharing a bedroom with us.

Ramsi always takes over Chris in the evenings so that I can do housework, cook, tend to my garden, or go to the store. He is a great father. One evening after running a bunch of errands, I came home extremely exhausted and Ramsi had a surprise. Chris crawled up to me reached up and said MaMa for the first time. Ramsi had been working with him behind my back and had taught him to talk. I was ecstatic. All that was left was walking and going to the potty.

I was still so much in love with Ramsi, but often worried about his feelings for me. I wondered at times why he hadn’t proposed to me. I didn’t need a big wedding, just a private wedding would be plenty. I continued to romance him and didn’t tell him of my doubts. I still felt the passion when we kissed and I could live with just having him. Being a wife was just a label anyways.

For the first time in what seemed like years I got to be alone with Ramsi in bed while Sunny watched little man. It was a wonderful night, but we didn’t get much sleep and the next day was rough with Chris wanting to play and us wanting to rest.

Chris loves his xylophone. It was a great purchase. We would love for him to become a musician, but its too early to know what his interests will be when he’s an adult.

Our house is growing and for some reason, so is my tummy. Ramsi and Sunny think that I’m pregnant again, but I’m not sick yet. I don’t know whats going on yet. We can’t handle another child right now. We have a trip planned right after Chris’ next birthday. Chris even has his own bedroom now. We would have to go back to having a kid in our room. Whatever happens will just happen. We won’t turn down another baby.

I’m going back to work these days and Chris has to stay with a sitter. When I get home he crawls to me and reaches for me. I love this child more than he’ll ever know. He touched my face and said pretty mommy. Bless his heart I love him so much. I wonder if I will ever love another child this much.

After a visit to my doctor, its confirmed that Ramsi and Sunny were right. I’m expecting again. This pregnancy is going 100% better than my first. This little one doesn’t give me any problems other than a backache. The backache could be from all the gardening I”m doing. Ramsi fusses over me and thinks I should be inside propped up, but thats not my style. Chris said “mommy fat ” the other day and made me smile again. I tried to explain he’s getting a new baby, but he said he’s my baby. Smart boy.

Well its party time again and this time Chris will be 5 and starting school for the first time. We are still planning on going to France for his birthday, but we are going to wait until after the little one is born and I’ll leave him/her with Sunny. I know that is bad, but I need to go exploring. Its addicting and its time to go again. When the new baby turns 5 I’ll take both kids.

Chris is sleepy after his party and gets into his brand new bed for a nap. I sit down on the couch exhausted from the entertaining and Ramsi starts to clean up. As I stand  to help him my water breaks and we rush off to the hospital to have another baby.

I’ll be back later with the sex and traits of baby #2. Seems like I left you last time with the same sentence and picture.
