Bio Stuff

On Sunday evening, Sophia's bio mom, Rachel, and her husband came over. I understand the bio connection better than most so we let them come over a lot. Sophia doesn't really understand and thinks of her more like a fun aunt or something. Their timing isn't always good but otherwise it's just like having another couple of kids in the house. They mostly just want my attention..

***I couldn't concentrate on writing this because I waited too long and now all the kids are awake and fighting in the kitchen. I should be a good parent and go in there and help them but instead I put on my sound-blocking headphones and plugged in to my iTunes on the computer. I'm currently jamming out to "Summer of '69". Next up is Miami Sound Machine. I already feel my stress level going down. My kids will either kill each other or live through the fighting......but either way.......I can't hear a thing from the kitchen ;)

Anyway, after Rachel and Ben left, four of Sophia's bio aunts and a cousin came over. Again, timing was not so great. We had four kids in bed and Sophia was on her way there. And they tend to be particularly loud. Although they are a lot of fun. It's kind of like our own version of a combo of Honey BooBoo meets Duck Dynasty. You get the picture. They came around 8:30pm and left around 10:30pm.

Then today at 7am, Sophia's bio mom Rachel is being induced. Their baby should be born sometime today. I need to get Zeke to his ortho appointment in Sioux Falls this morning (Sarah, it's not at OI, it's at Sanford Children's Hospital & Rehab. Would have been fun to run into you though!) As soon as we get back to Brookings, I'll get him back to school and then go up to the hospital to check on Rachel. Understandably, I have very mixed feelings about this new baby.
