New Layout.....

Since Christmas is over I thought it time to get a new look for my journal. :) I might have someone make one for me, something I can keep forever, but we'll see. I do so love the Birdie layouts. :D

Daddy & The Kids

Kevin is home with the kids while I'm working. He called me and asked me if Lola laughs, humms, giggles and kicks while eating her dinner (solids). Yes, she does. Lola loves food! She still nurses great, but the kid loves solid food. I don't think we'll have a problem weaning her off the breast/bottle. :) He was just astonished at how happy she was when he was feeding her. He said he's never seen a happier baby. We're blessed!

12 Hours

Lola sleeps for 12 hours at night. O_O She may get up once for a change and a feeding, but that only takes 20 minutes and then she's back to sleep. Lex, on the other hand, is apparently afraid he's going to miss something. LOL! That boy is out of control. I'm just glad Kevin is home on vacation and HE'S been getting up with him. heheheheee!! I'm up helping Raven get ready for school. She has her first game tonight and practice right after school, so she wanted me to do her hair. We're done, and she's gorgeous!! Lots of pictures later.

Early Morning Posting

I went to bed at 8 last night as soon as I knew Lola was asleep. I came up here, crawled into bed, read a few chapters of my book and feel asleep. Lola slept till 5, got up, I changed her and brought her to bed with me. I normally don't like to do that, but Lex was in our bed and I didn't want him to wake up and me not be there. We came back to bed and slept till 6:30. I just put her back in her crib so I could make some coffee and while I was doing that she fell back to sleep. :) Wonderful. I feel so refreshed. Kevin can't understand why I don't want to stay up and watch t.v. with him, and I tell him that it's not that I don't want to, it's just better for me if I don't. I feel bad because we barely see each other during the week except for when the kids are asleep and then I'm either cleaning up or in bed. We've decided that we should take one night out of the week for just us. Kids in bed by 7 and we hang out on the couch together till 10 just watching a movie or something. It doesn't help that my brother and his girlfriend have been staying here because they haven't had electricity since last Thursday. O_O And Raven is sleeping on the couch. :/ Oh well. Things will get back to normal soon. I hope. O_O

So Lola is now in size 4 diapers and 9-12 months clothing. HAHAHAHAAA!!! She is so BIG!!!!!!!!! Hilarious. She will probably be slower at crawling and other things because she is so big. LOL! She can sit up on her own for a little bit, but she weeble wobbles all over the place and then falls over. So cute. She seriously is the sweetest baby ever. All smiles all the time. :D She's up to eating solids twice a day She's refusing to nurse in the mornings, she wants food. Well of course! Look at her!!!


She's a big girl!! LOL!! I still make most of her food. I made the apple sauce, rice cereal, bananas, avacados, carrots and peas. I found a jar of food that she really, really loves. Earth's Best Peas & Brown Rice. She loves it!! I'm a little nervous about giving her something that I haven't made myself, but I taste everything she eats and this stuff taste just like peas and brown rice. It's actually very good. My dog comes running when I sit down to feed Lola. LOL! He thinks it's great, too. :)

Raven got her uniform last night!! She is now officially a ROCKETS cheerleader. She was so embarrassed about how short the skirt was, but she loves it. :) I took a lot of pictures so I'll post some last at some point.

Lex is just now waking up so I got to go change him and get ready for the day. We're taking the kids to get their pictures taken with Santa!! Raven is not wanting to, but oh well! She has to! LOL! Teenager torture. >:-)

Someone Is Starting To Teethe!

Poor Lola. Her face is always flushed, she's drooling everywhere, she's chewing on everything and she's sleeping a lot! She went to bed last night at 8 p.m., woke up crying at 11:30, I went down to check on her and she was chewing on her blanket so I gave her some teething tablets and Tylenol, then i nursed her back to sleep. She slept till 5 this morning, I changed her and nursed her and she fell back to sleep and didn't wake up till almost 10 o'clock! O_O Not that I'm complaining, it's just that she must be in pain and that's why she's sleeping so much. I feel bad for her. She doesn't complain one bit. She just fusses when she needs a change or is hungry. If she's in pain she just makes this "Uh uh uh uh" sound, I give her some meds and she's perfect! We couldn't ask for a better baby!

"Oh My Goodness!"

That's Lex's new thing to say. He runs around saying it all the time. It's so darn cute! I love him. :)

Cute!

I found this website a while ago. It's filled with really cute snack ideas for toddlers. Here's the link.....

LITTLE NUMMIES

I made the apple ornaments yesterday and Lex ate it all!!!! Wonderful!

December 9, 2008

Mastitis & Thrush -_-

Ouch. Both at the same time. I think we may be all done breastfeeding. :( The doctor wants me to try to just pump, pump, pump until both clear up and it doesn't hurt as much, but I told her that I'm not getting much at all, so I may just stop altogether. The she said NO!!!, don't stop, if pumping is no good, then just keep breastfeeding until I just can't any more or it hurts too bad to do it. It hurts so bad to breastfeed. I mean it really, really hurts. :( I'm gonna keep going though, cause I hear that's the best. We'll see what happens. I was hoping to go as long as possible because, well, it's cheaper. LOL!!! Doesn't matter to me though, we had a great run. Maybe I can keep going a little longer. Just gotta suck it up and deal with the pain. :(

My Little Piggy

Lola is a little piggy! She's up to eating solids TWICE a day now. I have a feeling she'll be off the boob a lot sooner than "normal". Hell....we still can't get Lex to give up his night time bottle! He was all done, but then Lola came home and he totally regressed and we can't seem to get him to give it up. I'm working on it though. I was thinking of putting a hair or a fuzz ball on the nipple, to gross him out, hoping that will do it. LOL! I'm so mean. Lola ate peas last night, apple sauce and cereal. Piggy! LOL!! I love her.

December 4, 2008

Lola & Lex

Both had appointments yesterday. Lola with her pediatric dermatologist and Lex with his doctor for his diarrhea. Stupid Derm....had to go back to the old one because she's a specialist. The new doctor I found won't even touch Lola's Hemangioma until she's 5! WHAT?! Nop fucking way am I waitng THAT long! So the new derm called the old derm to make sure they could get us in AFTER 2 p.m. when Kevin is home. I made it clear that we can not do morning appointments and if they couldn't do that then they should refer us to another pediatric derm asap. They'll see her in the afternoons from now on. :D Being a bitch pays off.

Lex looks great other than the constant diarrhea that we just can't seem to shake. Gotta take a stool sample in today. Gross. It's outside waiting. LOL!! He did great! He let the doctor examine him and didn't cry once! My big boy. :)

Today will be spent making cookie dough and some light cleaning. Not much cleaning to do because all it is is maintaining. I super cleaned last weekend due to that whateveritwas that we all had. I wanted to make sure that the house was not only clean, but sanitized as well, and it is. :)

Gotta run. Lex is waiting. Speaking of which....I have GOT to get him his own apron. How cute would he be?! I need a new one as well. Hopefully I'll get that matching set I've had my eye on. ;)

December 1, 2008

Never Again!!

I don't ever want to be in labor again. LOL! I was watching A Baby Story and had to change the channel because I was getting nervous thinking about Lola's birth. -shivers- SO PAINFUL! Never again. Sorry, Kevin.

November 23, 2008

Lola & The Breast....

Are no longer close friends. LOL! She has been refusing to latch on and in an attempt to get us back on track I actually put Hershey's syrup on my nipples to see if that would help......it did! LOL! She latched on and numnumnumnumnumed for the longest time. It's only in the late afternoon that we've been having problems. She no longer breastfeeds in the morning, she has solids. So technically she only breastfeeds at noon, 5, 9 and at night. Not too bad. :) Still hanging in there!! I htink I may just say good bye to breastfeeding soon, it's becoming more and more work for me AND her both. We'll see. :)

November 19, 2008

Self Weaning.....

I don't know if it's self weaning or if it's teething, but I cannot seem to get her to nurse as often. -_- I don't know. I keep her on the boob as much as I can, mostly all day, but still she refuses. Fusses, bites, hits and tears away. I know the supply is there, but she is just not feelin' it. Hmmm......it says it's rare for a child under a year old to self wean, but I think she is. It says that it may be the Mother's wishes to stop breastfeeding that cause it, but that's no the case here AT ALL!! So, what do I do?! I'm going to try to pump as much as possible and keep her attached to me as much as possible and hope for the best. :(

November 17, 2008

Lola Is The Best!

She now likes to be put in her crib and she likes to fall asleep on her own. :D It doesn't get any better than that!!!!

November 5, 2008

Thrush

Lola has it and my left boob has it. Ahhh.....the joys of Motherhood. LOL!! The Nystatin makes her ill and makes me boobs itch like crazy. It's almost gone though!!!! YAY!!!!! I'm pretty sure it's from my Mother not cleaning the bottles good enough while we were gone. -_- She's losing her mind that woman! Just goes to show that only MOMMY knows how to do anything right. HAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

November 2, 2008

Adorable!

When Lola is finished breastfeeding she likes to "sing" to my boob. LOL!!!!!!! She just half eats and hums. It's so darn cute!!!!!!♥

October 29, 2008

So Very Sore!!!!!

Jillian Michaels is the Devil. -_-

October 28, 2008

I Forgot....

Lola's stats..........

Weight:: 17 pounds o_O
Length:: 27 1/2 inches o_O

I can't remember her head size, but it's big!! HAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! She's very well proportioned and she's much bigger than babies her age. :D That's our girl!!!!!!♥

She has been flipping over, by accident, more and more. She gets soooo angry when that happens, it's hilarious!!!!! Kevin and I were away this weekend and it hurt my milk supply but as soon as I picked her up she grabbed my left boob and tried to latch on! I guess she missed me. heheheheheeee!!! I've been pumping, pumping and doing even more pumping just to keep up with her. I might have to start her on formula soon if my supply doesn't come back soon. :( I was hoping to exclusively breastfeed her for a whole year, but our little getaway messed that all up!!!!!!!!!!! -_- KEVIN! I just love that Lola has no problem breastfeeding at all!!!!!!! She latches on and won't let go till she's done. Kevin and I laugh when she goes into "boob rage". "Boob Rage" is what happens when I have to tear her away from my left breast and put her on my right breast. That few seconds it takes is like TORTURE for Lola. You'd think she was being killed. LOL!! Poor thing. She loves to eat. :)

Raven and Lex are doing great. Lex has been sleeping with us because we were away and he wants to make sure we don't leave again. HAHAHAA!! I don't mind it at all. He sleeps late when he's with us. He slept till almost 9 a.m. this morning. NICE!! Lola, on the other hand, has been waking up almost every 2 hours screaming. :( I think she has thrush. She has a few tiny white spots on the tip of her tongue and I'm pretty sure they hurt her. She also sounds like she had a small cold/chest cold, she's raspy. No fever, nothing..........we came home and it sounded like she was getting over a cold. I don't know! If the spots are still there tomorrow I'm taking her in. We'll see. I thought that babies who were breastfed didn't get sick or have things like that happen? WTF?! Anyway.

Weightloss........... -_- I don't even want to talk about it. I was SOOOO lucky with Raven and Lex, SO lucky....not so much with Lola. The weird thing is, I lost ALL the weight right after she was born, but then I put it right back on about 40 days postpartum. o_O WHY?! ((sigh)) Oh well. Yesterday was my first day trying out Jillian Micheals workout dvd, 30 day Shred. Yesterday was Day 1 and Oh. My. God. I could barely walk afterwards. My legs were shaking and my arms were aching. I could barely carry Lex down the stairs. That Bitch is HARD!!! I like it though. 30 minutes every other day until I can do it every day without shaking. I want to be able to do it with little effort. I want my strength back! I don't like being out of shape, and I am seriously out of shape. Not much longer though!! My goal is to be back to my normal self by Christmas. Kevin wanted me to do some body cleansing thing, in other words....diet pills, uhmmmm....no thank you. I don't need drugs to get back in shape. I want to he HEALTHY, no sickly skinny. I'll get there! Wish me luck!

19 Pound Baby

HAH!!! That's the dream I had last night about my friend's unborn child. I dreamt that he weighed 19 pounds and when I went to see him in the hospital he was in the tub and 3 nurses were bathing him. o_O And he was looking RIGHT at me! Beautiful baby though. :)  This is her first and probably last baby. LOL!!!!!

October 20, 2008

4 Months Old

Lola had her 4 month checkup last week. :) She is doing really, really great and she's huge! She's the size of a 7 month old. HAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!! OMG, I almost about died when the doctor told me. She is in the 97th percentile for everything! HAHAHAAAAA!! LOLA!!!! :) I love my baby. Yeah, so.....the appointment was HELL! I tried to do Kevin a favor and took all the kids with me so he could rest. I will NEVER be doing that again. Ugh! Lex was a terror the entire time. I wanted to kill him. (Not really , but you know what I mean.) He would not stop touching everything and anything he could get his hands on. And Raven, for once, was not much of a help, she was more of a problem then anything else. It was one of those days where she tried to control everything he did and you just can't do that with a 2 year old, you can only try to keep them from hurting themselves or someone else. Sometimes you just gotta let them go and try not to stop them. She kept trying to keep things from him, taking things from him that were actually harmless and she kept saying the word "No" over and over again. WHAT. THE. FUCK. I was so furious. I couldn't even talk to the doctor. Raven was getting louder and louder. At one point I told the doctor to excuse me, turned to Raven and said..."Why did I bring you? You're stressing me out more than he is. Is there a reason you have to YELL over us? We're trying to talk and all I hear is you yelling at Lex. Just stop.". The doctor looked at me and said...."I have 3 daughters, I understand." Not yet, but you will! LOL! She thought that was funny.

But seriously though......this whole teenager thing is NOT good. I hate it. Her hormones are OUT of control. She's bitchy, moody, mean and tries to control everything around her. Sometimes the words Boarding School sound sooooo nice. Seriously.....it's that bad. And the worst part of it is.....that it's NORMAL!!! WHAT?! UGH! I remember saying...."My daughter will NEVER be like that. NEVER! She's so sweet and kind and helpful"....yeah, I'm eating those words now. Most days she's great, but when she's bad, she's bad. Makes me want to apologize to anyone I was mean to while I was a teenager. -_-

October 17, 2008

Lemonade......

All over my kitchen floor. Thank YOU, Lex!!! -_-

October 15, 2008

Being Parents.....

Means that you have to give things up. Kevin and I have given up a lot, and we don't mind one bit. We don't have friends over, we rarely go out and we never buy ourselves anything any more. When Raven was little, and she was an only child, we would have people over for dinner and drinks, but they'd bring their kids and we'd call it a night at 9 p.m.. It was always nice to have people over and I do miss it at times, but I know that things will get easier and when Lex and Lola are older we can start doing the things we used to do. But for now, we are happy with going away together, just the 2 of us, every few months. I'm looking forward to our trip to New York, but I'm going to miss our babies!

October 14, 2008

Horrible, Horrible Morning

Lex has hated me the past few days. He wanted nothing to do with me, he only wanted Daddy. He was hitting, kicking screaming in my face.........it was awful. I had Lola in bed with me and he woke her up with his tantrum. It was all down hill from there. I have felt like crap all day. I was in a horrible mood all morning but still trying to be as nice as possible to Lex because I felt guilty for yelling at him this morning. Some times the only thing that works with him is me raising my voice. I hate that. I hate that I have to scream at him, punish him, pop him on his bum or put him in time outs. :( He's giving the Terrible Twos a whole new meaning. o_O

I'm at work now, so maybe a little space will do us both a world of good. It hurts my feelings when he tells me to "Go away! Leave me alone!". I'm like....WTF?! I'm here ALL day with you taking care of you, trying my best and here he is not wanting me around. ((SIGH)) I'm sure things will get better soon. It's to be expected, but I thought we were in the clear after Lola was born. He took to her pretty well, and still loved me dearly. Now he wants NOTHING to do with me. NOTHING!!! :( I just want my sweet, little boy back. NOW!

October 10, 2008

We Have A Mouse In Our House!

Just look at him....





He refuses to take it off. He even slept in it. HAH!!!!!!!!!!! Too cute.♥

October 9, 2008

A New Home

This is my new home.......blogger. It'll be about me, my kids, my husband or crazy life and a journey through my very last pregnancy. It won't always be pretty, but it will be honest and fun. I'll post about the things I love, products I can't live without, the horrors of raising 3 kids, the joys of raising 3 kids, the ups and downs of marriage and best of all......ME!

October 6, 2008

Still Sleeping....

Lex is still sleeping!! He hasn't been feeling well the past few days and has been a TERROR!!!! UGH! He wouldn't sleep, nap or even stay in bed past 5! Poor Kevin. I was with Lola, who sleeps great, so I was the lucky one. Now today he decides to catch up on some much needed rest. Poor baby. :( I'm just hoping he wakes up in a good mood. :/ Lol, on the other hand, is always in a great mood. LOL!!! Speaking of Lola.....she's been biting me. -_- I think it's time to thing about weaning her. I was hoping to make it to 6 months exclusively breastfeeding, but then this started. OUCH!!!!!!! I can't keep it up or I might lose a nipple, and I'd be pretty pissed about that. Even though she has no teeth, it still hurts pretty bad. Now imagine her teething. O_O No. Thank. You.

Apple Picking = Lots Of Apples

We took the kids apple picking yesterday and had so much fun! But now I have 30 pounds of apples. LOL!!! I'm about to go make homemade apple crisp and try my hand at making apple pie tomorrow. o_O We'll see how that goes. LOL! Pictures on Flickr, as usual. :D

October 3, 2008

8-8

That's how long Lola slept........8 p.m. till 8 a.m.! I just finished nursing her and she's lying on the floor next to Lex watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. I love them!

This Is Nice......

Real Mothers don't eat quiche; they don't have time to make it.

Real Mothers know that their kitchen utensils are probably in the sandbox.

Real Mothers often have sticky floors, filthy ovens and happy kids.

Real Mothers know that dried play dough doesn't come out of shag carpets.

Real Mothers don't want to know what the vacuum just sucked up.

Real Mothers sometimes ask 'Why me?' and get their answer when a little voice says, 'Because I love you best.'

Real Mothers know that a child's growth is not measured by height or years or grade... It is marked by the progression of Mama to Mom to Mother...

4 YEARS OF AGE - My Mommy can do anything!

8 YEA RS OF AGE - My Mom knows a lot! A whole lot!

12 YEARS OF AGE - My Mother doesn't really know quite everything.

14 YEARS OF AGE - Naturally, Mother doesn't know that, either.

16 YE ARS OF AGE - Mother? She's hopelessly old-fashioned.

18 YEARS OF AGE - That old woman? She's way out of date!

25 YEARS OF AGE - Well, she might know a little bit about it.

35 YEARS OF AGE - Before we decide, let's get Mom's opinion.

45 YEARS OF AGE - Wonder what Mom would have thought about it?

65 YEARS OF AGE - Wish I could talk it over with Mom.

The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mole, but true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It is the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows, and the beauty of a woman with passing years only grows!

A WHOLE YEAR ALREADY?!

It's been a little over a year since I found out I was pregnant with Lo. WOW! HOLY MOLY!! Time sure does fly!! She is already doing that trying to sit up thingy they do at this age. I'll post a video tomorrow on YouTube. It's amazing how fast she's growing. I guess they all grow up fast, but when it's your baby, baby you expect it to go slower. Guess not. :/ Kevin came up to me the other day in Old Navy with a cute pair of baby boy socks and said...."AWWWW!! Honey, look! Can we please have one more? PLEASE?!" O_O FUCK NO!!! HAH!! Sorry. No more for me, thank you very much. Let's just put it this way.....if there is another baby in our future, I can't see her or him. I could see my other three very clearly.........but no more. I'm done. He may think I'm gonna change my mind, but I won't. I have plans!!! I NEED/WANT to see the Amazon and I can't do that if I keep having babies. I'm very happy and content with the ones I have now. :D

I gotta get to bed. I should already be there but my kitchen was a MESS and I just can't go to bed with it looking the way it did. :D DONE! NIGHT!

Lola Is Accident Prone

She really is just like me. I have had to "rescue" her on several occasion where she has either gotten her woobie (receiving blanket) wrapped around her whole head, yes, her whole head, the pacifier stuck to her eye or her foot stuck on her bouncy seat. It's ridiculous!! My poor baby. 4 o'clock this morning I heard he whining in her crib so of course I'm thinking it's feeding time and go down to get her only to find her with her arms straight out, the woobie wrapped around her head, again!, and she's gasping and whining. As soon as I unwrapped the woobie from her head she smiled up at me and those little legs started just kicking in excitement. So yes, she was just fine! Silly girl. I'm the same way. Murphy's Law. I feel bad for her.

Speaking of the Princess......she is still sleeping!! O_O I love that baby!!!!

September 26, 2008

:D

We just woke up and Lola is still sleeping. 12 hours and counting. I'm going to enjoy these days cause I know they won't last!! LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!

About Lolita

I thought I'd take the time to write about Lola. Her likes and dislikes.....that kind of stuff. Here ya go.....

Lola is a very sweet, happy baby. All I have to do is look at her and she smiles....every time! She doesn't mind dirty diapers, she is very patient, except for when she's hungry, and all she really wants is to be around us. Lola loves to watch everything that is going on around her. If Lex is dancing or just being silly, Lola just watches and smiles. She doesn't like to be in one position or area for more than 20-30 minutes, so we have to mix things up for her. I can move her from her bouncy to the floor mat and she is just as happy as can be. :) When I bend over to pick her up she gets so excited and those chubby legs just kick and kick and the smile is from ear to ear. There's nothing better than Mommy coming to pick her up.♥ Lola looks exactly like Kevin's Mother. Exactly! The same blue eyes, chubby cheeks, auburn hair and dainty feet. She also has her calm demeanor. Lola hardly ever cries. When I'm nursing her and can't get up I have to yell for Kevin or Raven to come do something or get me something, I almost always scare her. She hates it when I yell like that!! So I try to be as quiet as possible when I'm holding her. Sleep. The child loves to sleep!!! THANK GOD!! She sleeps from 8-4 or 5 sometimes later. It's such a blessing!!!!! During the day she just naps when ever and where ever. Her favorite game is the scare game. I'll act like I'm not looking at her then I'll suddenly look at her and say...."BOO!", she jumps every time then she gets so excited and just giggles. It's loads of fun. Lola is a scooter. Tummy time is when she tries the hardest. She just scoots her chubby self as far as she can till exhaustion takes over. LOL!!!! Lying on her back is much easier, so I have to keep 4 eyes on her at all times when I'm changing her on the changing table or when she's on the floor. Traveling with Lola is so easy. I don't mind taking her anywhere!! She loves to be outside or just out and about with the family. Our baby daughter is amazing. I could literally go on and on all day about how great she is, but it's feeding time. I'll write more another day. :)

So Cute....But So Scary

Watching Lex with Lola always makes me smile, but I'm very nervous at the same time. I'm always waiting for him to pounce or something. LOL! I know he doesn't mean to hurt her, which is a relief, but still. Like this morning......just now I had her on her mat and Lex wanted to play with her. He walks over and is standing over her talking to her, dancing for her and just playing nicely. :) But in the back of my mind I'm thinking....."OH GOOD LORD!! He's gonna fall on top of her!". Hey, you never know! Right? Right! better safe than sorry. I have learned my lesson.

I gotta go clean up the kitchen. Making waffles is messy, but worth it. I love the look on his face when he sees what I've made for him. It's the simple things in life that make me smile. :)

HAPPY FALL!!

It is officially Fall!!!!!!!!!! Yay!!! It sure does feel like it, too! I love it!! I decided to use a new layout to celebrate it.....it's so damn cute!!!!!

September 19, 2008

So Adorable!!

Lola is getting cuter and cuter everyday! All she does is smile and smile and smile some more. The only time she fusses is when she's hungry or needs a diaper change. Well....except for the past few days. I'm pretty sure she's about to start teething. o_O I give her teething tablets and she's fine, no big deal. I'm hoping she stays so happy when they really start coming in. :( Not looking forward to that. Hopefully she'll be like Raven and cut them all at once. Poor Lex, he was teething for months!!!! Fevers, up all night, crying.....it was awful. There was even a day where all he did was lay there and moan, his face all swollen and flushed with a fever. Poor baby. I do not want Lola to go through that. Let's keep our fingers crossed!

I'll leave you with a picture......

September 17, 2008

It Happened!

I have been closely observing Lex to see the exact moment when he goes from toddler words and phrases to big boy words and phrases. It happened yesterday. I asked him where his sippy was and he said..."It fell on the floor. It's behind my bed." O_O Excuse me? He just smiled, I giggled and went off to retrieve his long lost sippy that was, in fact, behind his bed. And again today....more real conversations with my son which totally blew my mind. I told Kevin about it and he's a little bummed that he hasn't seen this magical transformation. I told him that it's because he still treats Lex like a baby and not like the little boy he's become. Lex likes to help out, he likes to be involved, he likes to do "big boy things". For example.....he had his very first dentist appointment. I wasn't able to go, I stayed home and slept with Lola. Kevin told me that when they called his name that he followed the girl to the room, hopped in the chair and let them do whatever they wanted!! Again.....O_O!!! He did great! All the girls in the office loved him, his dentist said he was probably the very first 2 year old that came in and didn't cry. Wonderful! It's nice to see that we're doing something right. Now....if only I can get him to see that Lola is NOT a doll, she's real and can get hurt. I think he's going to do just fine with her in a few months. :)

I Needed That

A few nights out with my husband and no children. That was nice, really, really nice. :D My Mom was here and took care of the kids all weekend, we slept in, got to see a few movies, went out to dinner, talked and talked and talked and then I finally got to see my friend Debbie. Bout time, too. It's only been 6 months since I last saw her. I hate that......not seeing my friends at least once a month, but when you're as busy as we are there is no way to avoid it. We're going to make an effort though. She's coming over next week to hang with Lola. SHe hasn't even seen her yet!!! Anyway. It was a very nice weekend. :D

Must Be My Lucky Day

I escaped being pooped on. Lola had a very, very messy diaper and it got on everything.....except me. LOL!!! YAY ME!

September 10, 2008

CUTE!

I really love these layouts. They're so adorable!!!! :) Anyway. I talked to Lo's doctor about getting a second opinion about the thing on her face. When I took her in last week they gave me some antibiotics to put on it and told me to keep it covered. Well, it got worse. It started oozing and bleeding.....it was just gross. So I stopped doing it and it got a little better. -_- I called her doctor to ask about a second opinion and we're going to do that over the phone together when she gets to her office. ((sigh)) We'll have to go to Boston but that's fine with me, as long as I can know that it will go away on it's own and the the hole that keeps bleeding can be fixed. The funny thing is, her doctor's daughter was born with one as well and now it's gone. She said it was gone before her 1st birthday. Hopefully Lo's will do the same. :)

O_O

How can a baby who is barely 3 months old, have nightmares?! My poor baby has woken up 2 days in a row screaming and looking like she has no idea where she is. It's sad to watch. I have to hold her close, talk to her, and kinda pat her bum vigorously. If that doesn't work I have had to lay her on her back and look at her face, rub her head and talk to her till she calms down. Why? Why do my kids have sleep issues? Well, not really sleep issues, but night terrors. It's not fair to them. I just want them to have beautiful dreams, not terrifying dreams.

3 Months Old Today!

WOW! I can't believe it's been 3 months already! Where has the time gone? :) You know what they say.....time flies when you're having fun!

September 5, 2008

Busy Day!

Lola had an appointment at 8:45 this morning with the dermatologist. That thing on her face started bleeding so I took her in to have it looked at. They want me to keep a topical antibiotic ointment on it and then keep it covered. -_- My poor baby. I can't wait till they can take care of it. It just bleeds all the time now. They reassured me that it was normal and nothing to worry about, but I'm a Mom, that's what I do, I worry. :) So at 6 months we're going to start her on a topical steroid to see if that helps bring it down, if not, then we'll start laser treatment. Ugh. I just want her to NOT have to go to the doctor's once a month, I want it to go away on it's own, which it might still do, we'll have to wait and see. I keep reminding myself that it could be worse. She won't have a scar from it and it should be gone by time she's 2. Other kids aren't that lucky. I honestly wouldn't care about her having a birthmark on her face, but that isn't what it is, so it's frustrating just waiting for it to clear up on it's own. I must learn to have patience. :)

She's still the prettiest baby. See......

September 4, 2008

Poor Lex :(

He had his first experience with puking this morning and of course he hated it. :( He came into my room at 4:45, climbed into bed with me and was very fidgety. He got down, asked to watch his new Mickey Mouse dvd, so I put it in for him and went back to bed. I woke up 20 minutes later when I heard him yelling for help. :( My poor, poor little man. It broke my heart to see him that way. He's doing better now, but my carpet isn't doing so great. LOL!! Looks like this weekend will be carpet cleaning weekend. :)

I Love My Little Lola!

She is just about the best baby ever. And yes, that's including the 2 we already have. I have never seen a baby who was just happy to be around and involved. We went to King Richard's Faire yesterday and she was so good. She didn't cry once. NOT ONCE! She just looked around, smiled and enjoyed being near us. It was so wonderful. I remember not wanting to take Lex out to many places because he hated being out. Raven was the same way, she liked to be home. Not Lola....she LOVES to be out. She even skipped a feeding because she was so busy looking around or napping. Then, when we got home she ate and fell right to sleep. I put her in her crib at 8:30 and she slept till 6 this morning. O_O I. Love. Her! Seriously.....I sometimes have to control myself because I want to squeeze her. :) I can see her personality shining through now. The way she looks at Lex is just so adorable. She looks at him like he's just the best thing ever, and he is but that's besides the point. LOL! She'll let anyone hold her, talk to her, touch her and she just smiles at them. Someone told me yesterday that when they look at her, she pulls them in and they couldn't help but love her and they don't even know her! Amazing. :) She has a magnetic personality. Just like me!!!!!! HAHAHAA!!

August 29, 2008

3 Months

Lola is almost 3 months old! Where does the time go? Actually, I love it. I can't wait for her to start all her first. Rolling, sitting up, walking, talking....sleeping through the night. LOL!! I don't really mind getting up once a night, because if I don't my breasts hurt. I wonder how that's going to work later on? How much pain am I going to be in? -_- Hopefully not too much. I'll let you all know once she does start sleeping through the night. As of right now she gets up once, at 2 a.m. and the sleeps till 6. I love breastfeeding because all I have to do is roll over and pop a boob in her mouth and that's it! Talk about lazy!!! LOL!

I'm super sick today. It just hit me all of a sudden. I would have thought it was mastitis but Lex is sick too so that leaves the common cold. Ugh. So....very....sore and tired. I hate being sick. I have an appointment at the spa today but I think I may have to cancel. I wouldn't want to infect others. -_- ((sigh)) Poor me. LOL!

August 13, 2008

Ugh!

This morning was HORRIBLE! Lola refused to nurse while lying on her side, she fussed and pulled and cried, so I gave up. We went downstairs, I put her in her crib, warmed up some breastmilk and gave it to her in the bottle while I pumped. -_- I don't know what her problem was, but it was really frustrating. She's fine now. Raven is downstairs shaking bells in front of her to make her smile. :) She loves it when things are dangling right in front of her and making noise. So cute! :)

I gotta run. Muffins in the oven and Lex wants orange juice, but I don't have any so I have to make him some. Gives me a chance to use my juicer! YAY!! :)

August 11, 2008

The Baby Makin' Factory......

Is officially closed! YAY!!!!!! I went in to have a checkup and my OBGYN asked what I wanted to do about birth control and I said I wanted the IUD and he said..."Let's do it now! I can insert it and be done in 10 minutes." Perfect. WHEW!!!!!!!!! What a relief. We can now start having sex again. HAHAHAHAAA!! Poor Kevin was all excited when I told him they put it in today but then was crushed when I said he had to wait a few days to make sure there was no infection. Poor guy, he's been so patient. hehehe!!

August 8, 2008

14.5 Pounds!

Oh. My. God. She's HUGE!!!!! HAHAHAA!!!! Kevin took her to her appointment and I had just pumped her a fresh bottle to take with him, so she could have a snack. Of course, she's eating when the doctor walked in and the first thing she said to Kevin was...."Never mind the baby, what are you feeding your wife?! Lola's so big! Tell her keep up the good work with the breastfeeding". :D Yeah, I know. hehehee!! Anyway. She weighs 14.5 pounds and is 24 inches long. Our big girl.♥ Shots went well. She got really angry and screamed, but then stopped once Kevin picked her up. :) Raven cried during the shots. LOL!! She did worse than Lola. HAH!! While they were gone Lex and I went on a walk around the neighborhood. We had a blast!!! Both of them are napping, so I have some "ME" time. So nice. :)

Lola's Appointment & 2 Months ALREADY!!

Yesterday was Lola's appointment with the Pediatric Dermatologist. It went really well and I learned a lot. The thing on her face is a Hemangioma . It's common and not dangerous at all, but they do want to keep an eye on it to make sure that it A.) doesn't get any bigger and B.) doesn't start bleeding. I have to keep her nails cut or keep gloves on her at all times to avoid an accidental scratch. That wouldn't be good. But yeah, it's not the worst one they've seen, so I'm not worried. :)



You can sorta see it in that picture. I do have more pictures of it, but I can't find them right now and I don't feel like searching. BLAH! She has another appointment today to get her first round of shots. :( I'm making Kevin take her because I just can't do it. 3 appointments in one week and seeing her cry is too much for me. So Lex and I are staying home and Kevin and Raven are taking her. If it doesn't rain I'm going to take Lex for a walk to the park. That's his new thing........going for walks. :) He's so cute.

Ok, I'm off to get things ready. :)

August 6, 2008

That Was Horrible!!!!!!

Poor, poor Lola. :( She was a mess yesterday. They held her down, I refused to, then the doctor had to clip it THREE times!!!!!! Good Lord. It was awful. I cried and cried and cried. :( She cried and cried and cried, too. The look of terror on her face was too much to bear. I almost told them to stop!!!!!!!!! But they were done so quickly, thank God! It took less than 2 minutes all together and she was done. I picked her up and started nursing her. She fell asleep. :( I am SO glad that's over! she would have had speech problems in the future if I hadn't of had it done, so it's good we got it done now because if we waited they would have to sedate her and there is NO way I want that. Too dangerous for such a small child, I wouldn't want to risk it. She was in pain last night, so I broke down and gave her Motrin. She fell asleep right afterwards and slept all night. She woke up at 6, nursed and went rigt back to sleep. My poor baby. :( I think she may sleep all day. That's just fine. Whatever Lola wants, Lola gets!!! :)

August 5, 2008

Great Night!!!!

Lola slept till 5 a.m.!!! WOOTWOOT!! Too bad I woke up trying not to vomit all over the place. o_O I have not been feeling well the past few days. No, I am not pregnant. No sex till birth control! LOL! Anyhow. She woke up at 5, ate and went back to sleep. I hope she's reaching the point where she needs more sleep, because Mommy needs more sleep, too!! LOL! I can't complain, she really only got up once a night, maybe twice. I had a plan to get her on track and I see it worked. Let's hope it does.

Her appointment is today at 4. You know what? I'm so sick of appointments. Our calendar is always full and I hate it! What a pain. UGH! I'm off to get some things done while Lola naps and Lex watches LazyTown

August 4, 2008

Big Day Tomorrow!!

Lola is getting her tongue clipped tomorrow. I don't know how I feel about anymore. On one hand I'm excited to get rid of the shield, but the thought of my baby girl in pain is almost too much to bear. I don't know.......Kevin and I are going to see what the doctor thinks tomorrow, if she really needs it or not. If he says no, then I'll continue to breastfeed, pump and give her berastmilk in the bottle as well. I can do it. It's kind of a pain, but it's for her, so it's worth it. :)

I'll update after the appointment.

July 30, 2008

Poop, Poop And Even MORE Poop!!!

Yesterday Lola pooped 10 times. 10 times!!!! UGH!! I couldn't believe it. We went out early yesterday and were gone for a good part of the day, so I had to keep finding somewhere private to change her. That was a pain. I finally just told Kevin to take us home. Oh boy......she's doing it again. Gotta go!!

July 28, 2008

Poor Lola!!

Lex whacked her in the head with his stuffed Curious George!! :( She did cry, but that bottom lip started going. She does this incredibly cute "I'm about to cry" pout. I'll have to get a video of it. :)

She's been nursing all day long!! I decided to skip the boob juice in a bottle thingy and just put her straight to the tap. That's going great, but it's time consuming. Sometimes I feel like it's too much, I can't doit anymore, but I know that I'll regret it if I give up, so I hang in there for her. :) Because it's all about Lola!! LOL!!!

July 26, 2008

Getting Big!!

Lola is getting so big. She is already making lots of noises, looking around and following me with her eyes whenever I walk by her. She sleeps a lot, which is good. I guess that means she's growing? All I know is this.....I love it!!! I cuddle with her all the time and she doesn't care. She's just so mellow. :)

Lex is doing so much better with her. He hasn't hit her or tried to in a while. Hopefully it stays that way!!!!

July 21, 2008

I Hate....

Letting Lola cry, but sometimes I just have to. :( She takes it so personally. LOL! When she cries she sounds like someone is hurting her.....it's redonkulous!! LOL!! As soon as she hears my voice she stops crying. -_- Silly girl!!

July 14, 2008

Big Girl!!

Lola is all smiles now. :) She laughs and smiles all the time. It's so adorable. I have video of it so hopefully I'll get it uploaded today sometime. It's kind of hard to get anything done with a baby attached to me all the time. Either that or I'm pumping trying to keep up with her feeding demands. The girl can eat!!!! It feels like she is constantly nursing. That's ok, she can nurse all she wants!!❤

July 10, 2008

Lola's 1 month Checkup!

GOOD GOD!! I gave birth to a monster!! LOL!! She now weighs 12 pounds and is 22 3/4 inches tall. O_O She doesn't seem so big to me. Maybe it's because Lex is so big that compared to him, she's small. :) She's doing fabulously well. Her and Lex have the same doctor and I love her!!! We talked about everything, she asked how I was doing, how Lex and Raven were adjusting and so forth. I told her that things are going smoothly, so far, so good. :)

Lola slept in her crib on her back last night and I slept in bed with my husband. :) It went really well! She woke up at midnight to be changed and fed, then went right back to sleep and slept till 7! WOOT WOOT!!! I can't lie, it was really nice sleeping in my own bed and not on that air mattress. I hate that thing, it makes so much noise!! UGH! Hopefully I can put it away by Sunday. YAY!!! I just hope she stays on this track for as long as possible. That would be fantastic!

Well, gotta run. We're taking Lex to a park we just discovered that has a small water playground next to it. He's going to LOVE it!!!

July 8, 2008

Long Night.....

Poor Lola was up all night last night with a some kind of stomach bug. I wasn't feeling well either, so maybe we had the same thing. She had 5 poopy diapers and she threw up twice. :( Poor thing, I felt so bad for her. She was crying and crying and crying and nothing I did helped. I hate that, not being able to help them. I wish there was a cure for everything so babies didn't have to get sick. She's a little gassy today, but no poopy diapers and she hasn't cried once. :) She is a total drama queen though. She fake cries and when I pick her up she coos. Big faker!

So.....Lo still has blue eyes. O_O I know they might change still, and I'm secretly hoping they do, but how beautiful would that be, blue eyes with her dark hair?! SOOOO PRETTY!!! Both Raven and Lex's eyes changed right away and she's already a month old, so we'll see. Kevin says that he looks at her and sees his Mom. :( She does have her eyes, for now. :)

July 7, 2008

Ouch!!!!

Well, we did it. We no longer have to use the breastshield, but oh my God, my nipples are killing me!!!!!!!!! She latches on and doesn't want to let go. Even if I use my finger to break the latch, it still hurts. -cries- It's ok, I know it will get better. I hope. o_O

July 6, 2008

1 Month Old Today

Wow....I can't believe it! A month old already!! Where does the time go? :/



♥♥♥

July 5, 2008

I Am So Proud Of My Breast!!!

I woke up this morning and even after feeding Lo I still pumped 6 ounces!! WOOT WOOT!! I'm so glad, this means I can freeze more for nights when I want to sleep or if we have our sitter come over so we can go out. My breast are still hurting like I need to pump or Lo needs to eat. It amazes me. :)I can't believe she will be a month old tomorrow!! O_O GOOD LORD!! Time needs to slow down a bit. :( I like her being this little.

July 4, 2008

Happy 4th!!!

I can't believe it's already the 4th of July!! My birthday is in 11 days!!!! WOOHOO!!!! Kevin is buying me a new wardrobe for my birthday. I need new cloths in the worst way. I just don't like my old ones any more. Jeans and cute tops aren't for me any more, I want something different. A new look. We'll see. I hate shopping, but it has to be done, right? o_O

Lola slept from 11 p.m. to 6:30 a.m.! I was in need of a full nights sleep with no interruptions. Not that I mind getting up and changing her and then feeding her, but it's tough to do by myself every night. Kevin is taking over tonight for me so I'm going to have to thaw out some breastmilk so he can make her a bottle if she gets up. I'm not going to lie, I'm hoping she wakes up 2-3 times tonight just to remind Kevin how tough it is. heheheeee!!! Maybe I'll let her sleep all day. >:-P I better not do that, Karma is a bitch and I don't want it to bite me in the ass. I'll make it easy for him and keep her up all day with lots of feedings so she's happy and full when she goes down for the night. :) I'm so nice.

Anyway. Today we're going to a cookout at a friend's house, but we have to wait for the kids to wake from their naps. Yes, they nap at the same time. :D Wonderful, I know. Then later tonight we're taking them to see the fireworks. I didn't want to go at first, but this is Lex's first year going and actually understanding, so I want to be there to see his face. :) I bet he's going to love them. I'm still a little unsure about breastfeeding in public with that damn nipple shield, but so far it's been fine so it' should be ok in the dark as well. LOL!! We'll see how it goes. I can't wait for her to get her tongue clipped!! I feel bad that it's going to hurt, but it's better for her (and me) in the long run. Soon! She has an appointment in 2 weeks to get it done. I'm nervous but I know everything will be ok. :)

July 3, 2008

Ouch!!

My breast are so sore from the marathon feedings. Lola is cluster feeding, which means she's eating in between her usual feedings. O_O I don't know how much more of this I can take. :( It's only been 2 years since Lex and I already forgot how tough breastfeeding is.No wonder some women give up so easily, I feel like giving up sometimes. It's not easy, but it's so much better for her so I'm sticking it out. And plus, there is just something about being that close to her and being the only source of her nourishment, it's a wonderful feeling. :) She's gaining weight, happy and very healthy and it's all because of me. What more could I ask for?♥

Lolita Ann Jolie~

Our baby girl is finally here!!! I cannot believe that she is almost a month old already. O_O Time flies by! She is just amazing. I'm still trying to get used to the crazy schedule we have going here, but I'm doing well. She sleeps a lot and only wakes for a diaper change or feedings. Wonderful! Breastfeeding is going amazingly well considering she's tongue tied. We work around that with a nipple shield. Last night was the first night I tried nursing her on my side laying down and it was great! I'll have to lay a towel or something underneath us because there was breastmilk all over the bed. YUCK! Kevin had to strip the bed and was everything. heheheee! He said he didn't mind though. :D What a great guy!

Lex is loving his baby sister and Raven is in Heaven! She finally got the little sister she's always wanted. I love having Raven around, she's such a big help. Seriously, I don't know what I'd do without her. There are some mornings when I just can't seem to wake up and Lex is a mad man, so I just have Raven take him outside while I nurse Lola and he runs off some energy and then he's fine. 2 year old little boys are much different than 2 year old little girls. UGH! The boy is insane!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love him though and wouldn't have him any other way.♥

Let's see........Lola is wearing size 3-6 months clothing, she was born wearing size 1 diapers and they're starting to get a little snug already o_O and she has the tiniest little hands and feet. At birth she weighed 9 pounds 11 ounces and by that Friday (she was born on a Sunday) she was back to her birth weight. Not bad at all. :) She feels light to me but I think that's because Lex is so big! LOL!! I can remember holding Lex when he was just born and thinking about when he would be 2 and how much fun he was going to be.......now he's 2 and I'm thinking abut Lo and how much fun she's going to be when she's 2! :) I might regret thinking that when she's older because I know I'm going to miss having a baby around. But no, no more kids. We're done........I think. O_O

May 28, 2008

9 Days To Go!

We are down to the nitty gritty now. Only 9 days until my due date. WOOHOO!! FINALLY! I feel like I've been pregnant FOR-EVER! I just want my baby now, that's all. My neighbors are ready to kill me if I don't have this baby. They're more anxious than I am! LOL! Yesterday I was at work and thought if I cleaned up, stocked some dog food that maybe that would get things going. Apparently not. -_- 40 pound bags of dog food are NOT enough to put me into labor. My back hurts a little, but that's all. LOL! I'm so exhausted, too. I can never get enough sleep. Lex has been up crying at 2 a.m. for the past 2 days. Damn molars better hurry up and just come all the way through already. He keeps crying for Kevin, so maybe I should make Kevin get up and get him tonight if he does it again. Yeah.....that sounds good. heheheheee!!

Anyway. I have an appointment today at 2:45 p.m. and I'm going to ask him to check to see if I've made any progress or not. We'll see!!!! I'm hoping to have a baby by Saturday!

May 23, 2008

Not Today.....

Please don't go into labor today, please oh please!!! I know this sounds selfish, but we have tickets to see the Boston Pops tonight and I really want to go. LOL!!! Tomorrow would be fine, just not today. Actually, any day after today would be fine. I'm just so sore and swollen, I can't imagine going 2 more weeks. o_O My left foot looks like a tree trunk. GROSS! So today will be spent trying not to over do it, but I probably will like I always do. -_- Kevin actually gets angry at me for doing things around the house. He thinks I'm trying to go into labor. Uhmmmm...no, not really. I'm in no rush. :D

May 22, 2008

Oh God.....

Contractions suck. UGH! They're not even the real deal yet and I'm already complaining. LOL!!! Is it too much to ask for to have a pain free labor and delivery? Can't she just pop out? LOL! Yeah right! I can't sleep, I can't eat, my back is KILLING me, the pressure in my hips and crotch is almost too much to bear and I have to pee all the time. Ahhh......the joys of pregnancy. :)

May 20, 2008

OUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!

My skin feels like it's about to rip open. :( I think the baby has dropped more, too. I'll find out tomorrow if she's still breech or not. I really, really hope she's head down!! PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!♥♥♥

May 15, 2008

Can You Say "NESTING"?!

I was up till almost 11 p.m. last night cleaning. O_O It was awful. When I finally went to bed I couldn't sleep. -_- Then Lex kept waking up because he wasn't feeling well. He had his 2 year checkup yesterday and got caught up on his shots. :( Poor little man. I'm sore today. I was on my hands and knees in the kitchen!! What is that all about?! UGH! At least the house is clean today. LOL!

May 13, 2008

Sick....As.....A....Dog -_-

And so it begins. The dreaded 3rd trimester sickness. I think my baby hates me. Why else would she be sitting so high up that she's pushing on my stomach and making me want to throw up all the time?! You know, I'm done. WAAAAY done!! I just want to have this baby out! I love being pregnant and would love to have more kids, but as of right now, I'M DONE! LOL!! I was up at 1:30 this morning sitting on the toilet trying not to throw up. It was awful. The Lex got up at 5 AM crying for Daddy. He fell back asleep on the pillow next to me, but do you think I could fall back asleep? No. -_- So I went ahead and got up, made breakfast for Raven, made sure she was up and sat on the couch trying not to throw up. I know it's not something i ate, because we all ate the same thing and everyone else is fine. It's this kid inside me making things hard on me already. She better be a good baby when she gets here!!!!! LOL!!

May 8, 2008

* Not Feeling Well

Man, oh man I am not feeling well today. I keep have small contractions that are no fun at all. I know it's "normal" to have them this close to my due date, but it still sucks. I refuse to call my doctor's office because, frankly, I do not want to spend my day at the hospital only to have them tell me it's false labor, which I already know. I could get some relief and rest though. LOL!!! I'd rather be home with my family. :)

May 7, 2008

Stubborn!!!

I had my 36 week check up today and the baby is laying sideways! I think she is trying to turn but is having a hard time. :/ My feet were so swollen when I was there that my doctor fussed at me for not resting more. At least I have an excuse now. LOL!!! Another appointment next Wednesday and an ultrasound in 2 weeks. Hopefully she'll turn!!!!

May 6, 2008

I'm Back!!

So here I am again. Blogsavy is not working, which is making me angry because I really liked it there. Oh well. Anyway! Here is what's been going on......

•Baby is good. She is weighing in at at least 5+ pounds already. o_O
•Heartburn is out of control!!!!!!!!!!!
•I'm ready to burst.
•Still no stretch marks :D
•Doctor thinks I'm not going to make it to June. Fine by me!!!

Everything else is fine. Lex is going to give me a heart attack!! He's a boy.....nuff said. :) Other than that, Kevin and I need to get our butts in gear. We have nothing for this baby. Nothing at all. We have the colors picked out for the bursery, but that's all. LOL!! I know what I want, we just have to get it. Here's the bedding I want.....


There was another bedding that I wanted, but $400 is just too much. I don't feel comfortable spending that much on crib bedding. Hell! I don't spend that much on my bedding LOL!!

That's all for today. I'll be back. :)

February 15, 2008

NEW HOME!!

COME SEE ME HERE........

* MOMMY MEMOIRS *

January 28, 2008

UGH~

I feel like I've gained so much weight in the past 3 days. -_- I know it's just the baby growing which in turn is making me grow as well. I love being pregnant, I just want my body back already. Does that sound selfish? Yeah, it does. I should be happy that I'm not nearly as big as I was with my son!! I was HUGE!!!!!! But I was loving every minute of it.♥ I wonder why I'm having such a hard time this time around. :(

January 24, 2008

20 Weeks

How did that happen?! I'm halfway there already. Wow. Scary. I'm afraid of labor and delivery, not of having another baby! I can't wait to finally have her here. It'll be tough, but we'll do fine. :)

January 8, 2008

I Suck......

Seriously, I really do need to update here at least once a week. This is my last baby and I want to remember as much of it as I can. With that said.....IT'S A GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We just found out for sure yesterday and we are very, very excited about it. Pink, Pink, Pink here I come!! I am really going to need to take on and extra day or two at work since we have to buy all new stuff now. I'm going to have another baby shower since it's a girl. :D Okay....picture time!!!

I've been so very tired but I feel great! I've only gained 8 pounds so far O_O, which is amazing considering how much I had gained with Lex at this point. LOL! I was HUGE!!!! I guess your bigger with boys. I hope she is smaller than Lex was at birth! I can do a nice 7.5 or 8 pounds, but that's it! LOL!!! I think I've just jinxed myself.
