Chapter 5.29

We're back from our trip! It's been lovely and totally refreshing. And it's Russ' birthday on the day we got back! Yayyyy. We bought his favorite cake and celebrated just amongst us (cos we're still recovering from jetlag). While having our cakes, he said, "Mom, do you know Alice? She's been here a lot when grandma's not around... is she a stranger or someone of our relatives?"

Russ is a bit chatty just like Rob, but I love how he could feed me information in proper sentence. Anyway. Alice coming over huh. When grandma's not around! How sneaky! So I confronted Rams thereafter.

Rams: Alice is my girlfriend...
Me: You know that you have to work hard because you're going to college soon! I don't like your girl coming over sneakily...
Rams: Who told you this? Russ? Grandma?
Me: It doesn't matter! You can bring her over here and introduce her to us, maximum once a week! Now's the time for you to concentrate on your study and pick the college and major you want.
Rams: You know what mom? I'm probably skipping college just like you did. I wanna marry her and start my own painting business.
Me: What???!
Rams: You heard me right mom. She's a lovely girl and she...
Me: Is she pregnant?
Rams: No mom I swear. We haven't done anything she's innocent and so am I.
Me: Bring her to us this weekend.

So Alice came during the weekend. Seems nice, but really young. Barely 17! I'm just afraid that they're too in love without realizing what is lying in front of them. After she left, the three of us had the conversation.

Is: Rams, we're against you getting married anytime soon. It's just not right, Alice is barely 17!
Rams: What do you know dad? You failed your marriage once!
Is: RAMSTADT!
Rams: I really love her, okay dad? I've barely had any attention from both of you, Alice has been taking care of me a lot! All you're about is another baby girl another sister! The hell with it! Aren't the four of us enough already?
Me: Ramsy you HAVE TO understand! We have a legacy to continue here.
Rams: Legacy? Without caring what actually matters more here mom? Really?
Is: Don't talk to your mom like that Ramstadt! We will not be supportive no matter what. If you really have to marry at such young age, please go ahead because we have no more space for you and your future family, nor the money.

And Ramsy just walked away... Too much for a jetlagged pregnant woman to take, really... Shits always happened when I'm pregnant...

Chapter 5.28

People talk! OMG people talk about our family! This morning Is brought me to the hospital early for a check up before our trip. But he had to come out first to get something in the car, and he overheard 'so Is..... a new young girl ...... pregnant? Poor Quincey and the four kiddos...' Seriously people need a life outside! I haven't been active in the community for a while now, people must be thinking I'm only aging at home with 4 kids that make my life topsy turvy. Oh well well well!

What do they know? I have a brilliant life! So I've been 12 weeks along now (hm yes.) with such a breeze! Even I couldn't tell that I've been pregnant at all. With that, it means I'm all safe to travel now! Woohoo! Remi has his stranger anxiety back this morning. He cried like a thunder despite the so many cajoling efforts we put into. Sighs... Gonna do some more training before we leave him with mom.

Rams has been seeing the girl a lot. He's been coming home in the evening every time. Gosh this is worrying me. Is finally had a word with him and being a sensitive boy that he is, he chooses to skip dinner and bury himself in the room since. Jees... I really need the break. Trust that when I come back all will be well... Rob is totally funny with all his words. I taught him some functional words today and he turned it into something unbelievable. It may sound funny to me now, not sure in the near future.

I said: Grab the fork.
Rob said: What the fock.

Oh. my. pop.

Chapter 5.28

"Hey mom! You're finally sitting down eating cake!", Russ said this morning. Trust that Russ will be world's most intelligent detective! Hahaha... but it's true. I haven't felt this peaceful for a really long time. Thank God for mom. She's finally here grabbing both little ones off Is & my hands. Phew!

Actually, Is and I are back to the pregnancy scare stage right now... I haven't really been feeling well lately, again. Well not to say that it'll be surprise if it really is happening again, we're casual. But our trip is in front of our eyes!!! We are taking half a month off to Saris for a little while because Is just so happens is gonna have a one-day meeting there. I can't wait to break off from my life here a little while... bummed out. Anyway... some shots of Remi and Rob...

Remi when he's being wonderful. Here's shot of him playing with grandma...

Rob is such a talker! Give him a word and he'll be able to spin you around.

Love my boys a lot but mama needs a break too :) Last night Is and I were casually discussing that we might want to look at renovating our house since eventually we're adding more people into it. Now there are six of us... and we're definitely going for a girl, though still not sure when. That means more money arckkkkk!!!!!

Chapter 5.27

I was skimming through the archive of my journal and boy didn't I realize everything has been about my pregnancIES! I have totally forgotten how to live - enjoying the crisp air while tending to our garden, sipping coffee at the nearby diner, having date with Is, helping Rams and Russ with their homeworks... ahhh..!!!

But here's the good news. My mom just told me that she's visiting us here next week for a full whole month!! While I'm not sure how Remi would react to her, but I'm putting high faith that she will be able to handle her own grandson. I seriously couldn't be anymore thankful for my mom. She's just the world's most amazing mom one could ever have... and her life is all about the inspiration for myself.

BTW, I've been hearing here and there that Rams is currently seeing a girl in his school named Alice. :) I'm so excited for him though I'm not sure if i should approve of it yet? Rams is rather emotional I'm kinda scared if he will get too serious with this girl. I wouldn't mind seeing her nonetheless.

Chapter 5.26

Long time no post. Coping with 2 twin boys + 1 boy + 1 teenager is just not easy I tell you! Each one of them has a kind of tantrum to throw and basically I need to run here and there to get my things done. *phew*

Our twin boys are absolutely adorable, delivered through c-section. Please meet Remi and Rob. Remi & Rob here is the world who's been reading mommy's journal. Remi is older than Rob, but has a much more 'adventurous' trait - he absolutely rebels a lot and has a typical stranger anxiety to deal with! Sighs... That explains why that even at their age of 2 years old, we're still in big consideration to try for a girl. Getting a helper isn't the best idea for now - Remi is way too rebellious and besides it's dragging us financially. But Rob... he is magical. Quite strange, no? Two people who grew up together in one mommy's tummy with two total opposite traits. :) They love to talk to each other, in their baby-ish lingo of course. Sometimes I really wish I could understand what it is they're thinking of...

Is has been a good active daddy. He's closer to Ramsay than anyone else - especially when I get mad running around the house with one or two babies in my arms screaming at everybody :D Russ also seems closer to Ramsay - dunno why, probably Ramsay has that special calm leader charisma being the eldest in the family. Who could've thought I'd be this major housewife? It's been nothing but fun!
