Waiting for Ava to pick up Brendon and Braxton, my thoughts are on my OB visit. Today’s the day we go and find out what we’re having or as Jayson says, “indoor or outdoor plumbing.” He’s convinced it’s a girl and wants to threaten any member of the male species outside of family members away from his princess.

Lord, this baby’s going to be a diva with him for a father and Ava for a grandmother…oh and Madison for an aunt.

I’m happy for whatever we have…I just want him or her to get here. I’m going on 17 weeks and already tired of being pregnant. Since I’m not even half way there, I might need to shelve that line of thinking.

Ava finally arrives and after some goodbye hugs and kisses with the boys, I grab my purse and call Jayson on the way out to the car. Surprise, surprise, it goes to voicemail. I roll my eyes and then remind myself that this is only temporary. He’s a month into his Peds residency and while it’s a little better than the ER, I still don’t see much of him.

As I’m driving to Dr. Gibb’s office, I give myself a mental lecture about quitting the bitchzilla act. I know I’ve been difficult to deal with the last couple of weeks. I wouldn’t come home either if I was him.

Last night was probably one of those moments he wished he was still doing ER shifts. Thinking back on last night’s events bring a hot flush to my face…I’m pretty ashamed of my behavior.

“Brendon, Braxton...I’m not going to tell you again. Stop playing with your food and eat. It’s almost bedtime and y’all haven’t had your baths yet.”

Normally, my quiet guy and the most obedient, Brendon throws his food on the floor and says, “I’m not hungry.”

Naturally, Braxton follows suit…and now I have a mess to clean up.

“Do NOT throw another piece of food on my floor. If y’all are going to act like babies, then I’m going to feed you.”

With that being said, I grab their plates, dump all the food into one, and start handing out bites. The mutinous looks on their matching faces lets me know exactly how they’re feeling…they hate not being treated like big boys.

When I have finally gotten enough food down them for the night, I take the dirty dishes to the sink. Pain shoots through my back and I lean against the counter trying to breathe through it.

For the first time in our married life, I don’t clean up the kitchen as soon as we’re done eating.

“Ok, it’s bath time…go upstairs and get undressed; I’ll be there in a few minutes.”

They take off running and I take a moment to wipe down the table and set the dishes to soak, otherwise it will drive me crazy. Once I’m done, I walk through the living room and notice Jayson looking at me with a worried frown on his face. After I’m out of his line of sight, I roll my eyes and think, “Heaven forbid you get up and help me.
