Since I’ve last posted we’ve had to go into self isolation/quarantine as part of a country wide social distancing practice. We are in the middle of a pandemic - The Coronavirus -aka- Covid-19. It’s very scary to leave our homes to do anything, even grocery shop. All of the schools are closed so we are doing distant learning, aka homeschooling with teacher directive through online programs such as google classroom and google hangouts. There’s not much on the shelves at the grocery stores because people have already gone out and panic bought everything they could off the shelves - especially toilet paper and bread.
I’ve survived the first day of distant learning here at home with the older two littles, Lailah and Noel. Noel learned all day about the Savanna, the animals, the ecosystem, and he did some math as well. Lailah learned a variety of subjects that are typical for 6th grade. Thea was a bit stressful because she wanted them to play and wanted my attention often and couldn’t understand why she couldn’t have either of what she wanted as much as she wanted it.
Otherwise, so far - things are going alright. Sara, Justin’s sister moved in last week but then quickly became ill with something so she’s out at the hospital trapped there without visitors, as the hospitals aren’t allowing any and they’re pretty much on lockdown.
My pregnancy is progressing well, I’m 14 weeks. I’ve been cramping the last couple of days but I think it’s because I went grocery shopping the other day. Otherwise I’m feeling alright. We don’t have many boy names but I think we’ve agreed on the name Auralea for a girl. The only boy name that’s on my mind currently is Leander so we will see. I was very disappointed and sad yesterday since I had to cancel our 4D gender ultrasound. But it’s not worth it to potentially get this pretty severe virus that’s going around.
The only really good news is that the new Animal Crossing game came out for the Switch and I was able to get it. Now during any spare time I have I’ll have something to do.
