This is it....

So I have decided that I dont like the blog name anymore and so I am moving!

I have a new blog now.... If you know me and want to continue to follow let me know. If we are friends on facebook I will also post that there.

Goodbye "baby Guy's lullabies. It's for the best :)

whoops...got away from me again

Patience grasshoppers....

I actually started typing up the blog for today this morning... it is now 7 PM. HAHA

I Hope that I will get better at this but who really knows, I am a busy girl sheesh :) So anyhow.... here is my attempt to catch up on the photo a day challenge:

 

DAY #2:: LUNCHTIME

 

I Just started doing weight watchers again...minus the meetings or the paying part. I have done it 3 times in the past so I am a pro, also you can find anything you want on the internet so we will see how this goes! Since I am nursing I get about 40 points a day to "spend" on food. This cinnamon raisin bagel without cream cheese was SIX points.... ugh this might take some getting used to after shoving my face during the pregnancy.

DAY #3 THIS HAPPENED TODAY::

 

This was a LOOOOONNNGG day for me... I was supposed to meet my Aunt in the morning but was having such a rough morning that I had to cancel for the second time ( ugh) So in the end my makeup never even got put away it just stayed strewn on the floor until I got my stuff together the next day.

 



 

DAY #4:: WHAT YOU READ

 

I took this shot of my Kindle Fire it is pretty funny to see the mix of books that I have downloaded to read. I can honestly say this is one crazy mix..... and yes you are seeing Fifty Shades of Grey there... no I have not read it....all..... I also never finished the hunger games or Think like a man, I did however watch both of the movies. I also read AND watched what to expect when your expecting. Funny how many books I "read"that they turn into movies.

DAY #5:: SHADOW

 

Well I am actually surprised I was still able t get a "shadow" shot on a day in October but it has been really warm and sunny lately... weird! Here's Sophie! 

Then I realized Sophie is a teething toy....that will go in the baby's mouth.... hahaha time for a bath Sophie!!

 

See you all tomorrow......maybe.

I know... I am NOT very good at these

Lets see how well I do this month..... if you look at my past blogs you will see that I don't have a very good history of keeping up on these photo a day challenges.

 

 

 

 

DAY # 1:: Where I stood

 

 

This might just be one of the last nice days outside so I was enjoying a little sun while the baby napped. This "bark" is actually rubber! How cool is that?

Then while the baby finished her nap I did a little less standing! :)

 

 

Enjoy your Monday everyone.... here in our house it is Friday ( hubby is off for the next 3 days!)

Maybe I'm not a good "blogger"

Yeah you heard that right.....

I have come to the conclusion that I am not a very good blogger. I really thought I would blog everyday while the baby was napping.... well I have found that cleaning, eating, and working on my business projects have taken over that time.

As for right now... well she is NOT sleeping. LOL I am sitting right next to her in our recliner part of the sectional while she swings away "trying to sleep" is what I am telling myself. Matter of fact she is grunting at me trying to get me to look at her. Look, I will NOT do because she needs to take her 30 min. morning nap. ( I know sad that its only 30 mins but you would take that time if you had it too!)

Here she is right this second staring at me:

:

HAHA! Makes me laugh because it is almost as if she is willing me to get her out of her swing! Can't she see I am "working"here. ;)

Well shoot.... her music just went off on the swing and I don't want to make eye contact to turn it back on. boo. I peeked...looked out the side of my eye...yep STILL staring.

Fine, I will move on.

So my household this week is full of sneezing and runny noses and coughs and just plain yuckiness! It has been pretty miserable but thankfully my hubby is off Tues. Wed. and Thurs. so he was able to do most of the housework and baby needs type things while I rested! PHEW! Feeling so much better today!

 While I am feeling better I have decided to invest in a new planner...thing is I get this need to get a new planner way to often. Here's the truth...I have some sort of organizational OCD. I just bought a planner AND got a free one with my start up kit BUT I couldn't find a good place to keep my planner, pens, and highlighters all in one place ( because I don't like carrying huge bags) so I ended up writing a date in my planner in the WRONG COLOR ( oh no) and then I had to put a line through a play date that I cancelled due to being sick which I had written in pen (NOOOO) so now I can't even look at the planner without going loony.

Sad much? I know!

So I am now on a mission to find the BEST planner ever!! Really... I am googling it people! I will let you know what I find when I find it :) Now onto cleaning because the baby finally fell asleep so I will only have about 30 mins!

2 months old!

TWO MONTHS OLD!



Jaida, can you believe it has been 2months already??? I know I can't!

We already have a routine going and you sleep well through the night most days. You smile and coo, you even rolled over from your tummy to your back during tummy time last week. You are able to lift your head really well and have great neck control too! ( Although you still like to headbutt me and daddy when we hold you on our shoulders) You are still doing well drinking only pumped breast milk. You drink about 2-3 oz every 2-3 hours. You have been going down to bed after a nightly bath and bottle at about 1030 or so and wake me up between 3 and 5 am to eat then go back to sleep until around 7 am. Then we get up and come downstairs with your brother where you eat again and go back to sleep in your swing for a couple hours! so really you are only sleeping and eating from 10pm till 10 am :) Then the fun begins and we can start our day!

The best news though is that Daddy and I officially decided that I get to leave my job in the working world and stay home to raise you and your brother!

(besides if you saw the price of childcare these days........)

I can't wait to see how you grow and change in the months to come!

Look... I'm back! **photo bomb time**

Alright.... I think I might be back to the blog world for good. Hubby bought a new computer last night and I am all over blogging again :)

I almost feel like I should start all over ( a brand new blog) because I have such bad OCD when it comes to organization! It will probably make me crazy that I left out a whole 2 months of my life on my blog ahhhhhhh!

So, let's catch up shall we::

(here are the pics I promised)

This is my last official belly pic taken the morning I went in for my c section.



Here is Jaida at one day old in the hospital

First trip to church ( first official trip out)

Brother and sister

One month::

Well.... we pretty caught up. I am going to make another post today to do her monthly check in!

WOW....

Pretty sure I am either fired from.... or almost fired from the world of blogging.

I figured the only people reading my blog were the friends on facebook that follow the links that I post on there as a "blog update." That is until I really thought about all of the blogs that I just "troll" ( as they call it) meaning blogs that I anonymously follow because I am interested in other peoples lives. Hence all the reality TV I watch :) So now I feel really bad. I could be so wrong and maybe nobody other than my friends is really following my life BUT just in case..... I have a LOT to fill everyone in on.

Let's see.....

Last time I was on here was a little less than a month before I gave birth! ( sorry people that were waiting to hear how that went!)

Well I had the baby! YAY! Here are the stats::

SEX: Girl

BIRTHDAY: June 19, 2012

TIME: 10:19am

VIA: C-section (repeat)

WEIGHT: 9lbs. 9oz.

HEIGHT: 20 1/4 inches

She has a full head of hair and it was love at first sight!

** I will post pics later.. I am having trouble with this dumb computer!*

Jaida Alyse is now almost 7 weeks old!! She is so good and sleeps so well! So far she already follows a pretty normal nightly sleeping pattern of 1st bedtime being around 8 or 9 (after a bath) then she usually will wake up again around 1130pm to eat.... then again around 3am.... then she is up for the day at around 630 or 7am. There have been a couple nights that she has slept for 7 hour stretches!

At this point I am not sure if I will be going back to my current job or if I will be looking for something from home or at least only part time.

Well.... Baby is awake gotta go! Hope to be back before another 2 months pass!!

Packages

I love getting stuff in the mail.... well everything but bills haha.

Anyway, I have recently been ordering lots of baby stuff online from Amazon and so it has been fun to get little packages of goodies a couple times a week. Well yesterday I got a package that I hadn't ordered but my sister had.... it was from an online site called Bluum It is so cool. ( PS.. I hope that link worked because I have never done that before) anywhoo.... what an awesome gift idea. It is basically a gift box of deluxe samples that you get once a month and you pay for it just like a magazine subscription. So she set it up so that I will be getting them monthly for a little while.

The box that I got is a mix of stuff for mom and baby ...

THANKS SISTER!!!

so close... yet so far away

Man… I was so all over this blog when I first started. Now I am just lazy.

However, I am HUGE and I wanted everyone to take a look at this 35 week photo because it will probably be the last self-photo  I take before Jaida is here J YAY!

I am actually planning on having my friend take some maternity pics this weekend. Thank goodness for photo shop because this belly is stretch marked to the max and I am not to fond of the outie belly button I currently am sporting. LOL

**** Soooo… Update time?.....*****

I am currently 35 weeks pregnant and as of last Thursday’s drs. Apt the nurse said I am only measuring 36.5 weeks so although Jaida will no doubt be a big baby I prob only look so huge because I am so short and because she is sitting all the way against my belly….pushing it out to the max!

( See pic below:: sorry about the lighting!... oh and the look of fear all over my face HAHA )

Also, I noticed that I thought I was HUGE when I was only 18 weeks along... ( in case you forgot what I looked like then see that pic below....)

Psssssh.... that seems like nothing now!!! UGH the more I look at that top picture the more I realize just how much work I will have to do to get this weight off once she is born!

So, all of that being said I have an ultrasound in 2 days to check on her growth as well as the level of amniotic fluid that she is in because I was a little on the high side and they don't want her to run out of room of course! Maybe they will decide she needs to come a little early.... I wouldn't be sad about that as all. once I make it 1-2 more weeks she will be considered "full term" and hopefully ready as ever! That being said... wish me luck because I am not sure how soon I will be back to blog about this glorious pregnancy ( said with every ounce of sarcasm I could muster)

** PS: c section is officially scheduled for June 19th YIPEEEE..... kinda want to make it till then... kinda want her to come now.

Long time... no Blog

I'm sorry.

I know In am falling way short with this blog. Thing is, I am super uncomfortable and unfocused these days I just cant put myself to blog.

However, Here I am :)

UPDATE:: I am 32 weeks pregnant tomorrow ( going on what feels like 45) I get to schedule my c- section sometime this month.... for June, so I will finally have an exact eviction date for my lil' lady! ** unless she comes early which I wont mind so long as its not TOO early**

I am only working 25 hours per week now at work due to horrible back problems and a torn abdominal wall. sucky. I really don't know how much longer I will be able to work at all, coming in today with my back killing me and on less than 5 hours of very interrupted sleep was awful! My dr. also has me doing physical therapy twice a week as well as massage therapy. I have only had one apt. so far and have my first massage in 2 days so we shall see how it goes!

I had my baby shower on Sat. it was AMAZING!! I will post pictures as soon as I see any of them ( my friend took a bunch) I was having nightmares all week leading up to it thinking of showing up to only 3 people being there and all this work put in by my 2 good friends that threw it. It wasn't like that at all though, there were like maybe 20 women there and great food and wonderful gifts. I felt SO loved!!! Best day ever!!

So here's hoping these last 7 weeks before Jaida is born are uneventful and pain free... HA! .... but I can hope!

slow growing

So my son Jordon.....

He does not grow.

I mean really, I was just noticing that the outfit he wore for Easter this year was worn once before and although I don't know exactly how old he is in the first picture I am going to guess about 5. Then he wore the same shirt(s) this past weekend at age 8 ALMOST 9.

See for yourself:




 and now::




clearly to me he looks different in the face but how the heck is his upper body still the same size LOL. His legs are growing longer, and his feet are getting bigger... but his shirts from years ago are all still fitting.

One thing I think is for sure.... Jordon will probably not be very tall.

Hello

Hello Blog.

I miss you.

Someday I will be back to update you with pictures and stories.

For now though...... I've got nuthin'

It's official

Pregnancy is NOT fun anymore :(

Not that I ever thought it was a good time being pregnant. I hate to be the whiny type but seriously this pregnancy thing is not as easy as some people make it look haha.

I feel so guilty for being uncomfortable or in pain.

I feel like I am failing at my job and at home because I cannot give 100% anymore. Not only do I have this huge baby to carry around but she is killing my back and now my tear in my abdomen is getting worse and causing pain too. BOOOO HOOOO.

It is such a blessing to be pregnant and I am so thankful that I will have this amazing baby to love and care for, but I just wanted to vent that I feel useless right now.

Next week I am starting to work part time because I can no longer sit stand or walk for more than 5 consecutive hours without excruciating pain. However to people on the outside looking in I know it looks like I am just making an excuse to sit around and do nothing.

Why do I feel guilty. That is unfair. So what if people don't understand.... so what. I am doing what is best for me and my unborn child.

UGH the pain

Oh it has begun.

I can’t sit for a long time, I can’t stand for a long time, and I can’t walk for a long time. The pain in my back will not stop. Yesterday ( I reached a “mere” 27 weeks) I started having cramps early in the morning but went to work anyways. I suffered through an entire day of cramping and horrible back pain in order to make it to Jordon’s conference. Unfortunately I didn’t make it. I had to call to cancel because I was in so much pain and just needed to lay down.

I hate sounding like a cry baby but honestly I don’t know how people do it! How do you work a 40 hour a week office job when NO position is comfortable and everything causes you pain. BOOO.

I know that things could be a lot worse an d I am so thankful that everything seems fine with Jaida, but dang this back and cramping pain. I suppose I expected the 3^rd trimester to be bad but for some reason I just did not expect this.

Well that is all the complaining and whining I have for you today folks. Carry on…..

Hmmmmm....

What to blog about.

Not sure really, but I feel like I am such a blog slacker as of late. I read everyone else's blogs and they are full of pictures, or crafts, or fun stories and I just don't have the energy to keep up anymore. I do this a lot. I start things and then don't finish.

NO BUENO!

In January I had full intentions of blogging each little thing as I go along in this pregnancy and well.... that just not happening now is it LOL. I guess it is good news though that it has been so uneventful. Right now as I am approaching 27 weeks ( THIRD TRIMESTER) woooo hooooo .... I am finishing sending out all of my baby shower invites. I know I talked about it earlier **HERE** but man oh man do I get anxious having a party for myself. I am not throwing it for myself however, a couple friends of mine are. I just always get nervous that people are not having fun or not as excited as I am. LOL I am silly, I just want to party and enjoy it OK!!

alright well sorry but I am getting side tracked and keep leaving the blog, so I am done for today. :) BYE

26 Weeks

Yes... that's all ... 26 weeks.

Is it just me or does it seem like I should be right around at least 32 by now. HAHA. I feel bad saying that I am tired of being pregnant, but I feel like I am.

Maybe I am just tired. In general. Along with the back pain and the feeling like I am helpless because I have gotten so big ( oops my bad!) As you may have noticed I have stopped doing the entire questionare week by week.... I feel like not to much changes and when it does I can just blog about it in this "diary form" rather than question by question.

I had my second glucose screening this pregnancy ( first one was a precaution because my family is known for "big" babies... done at around 16 weeks) This one is the one I am supposed to have done between 24-28 weeks. Well I failed. Bummer!..........

***note to self:: If the doctor tells you that you need to go in for "labs" and you don't ask what they are for your best bet is to NOT eat Reeses and Skittles an hour before***

So, that being said, I have to go in tomorrow for my dreaded THREE HOUR glucose testing. Yep the one where I have to fast before hand then drink an extremely sugary cola type drink, then sit in the waiting room for 3 hours all while having my blood drawn a total of 4 times as well. BOOOO.

F +

If I was going to be graded on my blogging skills as of late I believe I might get an F+.

I think I may have officially failed the March photo Challenge as well, AND my weekly pregnancy updates.

To be honest I haven't really even been that busy so I don't have that excuse. The weekly count with the pregnancy was ok until I realized that not much is changing week by week anymore... I am getting a little bigger every week, a little more tired, and a lot more achy. ( especially in my back) other than that ...same ol same ol.

Maybe I am just not one for following rules and trying to remember to blog what week I am every Tuesday ( not to mention it seems to make things slow down when I realize I am ONLY 25 weeks along) as far as the photo challenge, I dunno I don't take many pics as it is and this was kind of easier in that way because it gave me something specific to snap a picture of... but I lost track... and now I am unmotivated.

I am just not feeling very bloggy lately.

I'm sorry.

Maybe in a few more days.... or maybe tomorrow.
