Nathan 2

These pics were taken when he was about 14 1/2 months. I have about 9 more pics to upload but I'll do that later when I have more time. We're about to get ready to go to my grandma's to put up her tree (should be interesting with Nathan around, and they have LOTS of breakables )

We got papers today saying when Charles' next court date is and it is in March. They're supposed to have some mediator (sp?) settle things between them but if that doesn't work out then they go to trial. (Which is probably what will happen.) And so far she hasn't tried to get in contact with us about her visitation this Saturday. Not that I thought she would.

The poor baby got a flu shot today. And was sick half the day yesterday, throwing up. We've found out that he doesn't have baby "spit up" anymore.

Stephanie has informed us that she will be showing up every Saturday. BUT she wants the visitation to be at her house or a public place to "make it more convenient for us" How is getting up extra early and dragging Nathan out into the cold every Saturday "more convenient for us"? And why would we have it at her house? It's up to her to show up to visitations, NOT up to us to get Nathan to her!

Well, she showed up today. We had to endure 3 hours of her "mommy show" She tried to say that Nathan was the center of her world. Yeah, so where has she been for the past 4 months? I didn't believe all the stuff that she was putting out. She tried to tell us that her dad told her that he wanted to see Nathan at Christmas. Wait...isn't this the same dad that claimed she shouldn't have a kid, and isn't this the same dad she didn't want to have anything to do with? And she kept talking about when Nathan "comes over" to her house. I didn't know if I could step in and say...umm, he's not going over there, so I just kept my mouth shut.
Nathan was friendly to her, he would smile at her and give her his toys...but he wasn't as friendly to her as he is to the rest of us. When she picked him up before she left to hug him goodbye (playing the "I'm so sad" card ) he reached for me and wouldn't let her hug him. He knows who his family is and who loves him and to him she'll probably just be someone who comes over for a little while every Saturday. We're not calling her "mama" to him because it takes a lot more than just giving birth to a child to be a mom. And most definetly she is not even near the mom catagory.
