ok... now I'm very excited!

So today we went down and picked out the new bed. we didn't see a set we liked but we did find a bed. so we only got the bed. we are keeping our old dressers :-) they really are not old, we got then Oct 2005. well we also added two desks and a pull out couch onto everything. sense the girls share a room we turned the 4Th room into an office/ family room. we have a T.V. two computers, a lab top, so we have a office. I am so excited! we are getting everything tomorrow!

why am I so tired?

you know those days were all you want to do is sleep? that's the kind of day I'm having. I don't really know why I've been so tired lately. I just feel like I could sleep all day and all night. my eyes are always heavy. i could close my eyes and go right on to sleep. makes me wonder if I'm coming down with something... I don't know... I feel like my kids are suffering because if it. I have no energy :-(I just don't know why....

So I've Been Thinking....

So I've been thinking.... I love babies and being pregnant and the whole birthing experience. I've only been to one other birth besides mine.. yes it was intense but I still wouldn't change the fact I was there.... so... I've been thinking about becoming a Dula. what is a dula you ask? A Dula is someone who is there for the mother. she caters to the needs of the mother during her labor and delivery. she is NOT a medical professional. she even helps with postpartum if the mother would like. i do want another baby but my son is to young and i need to focus on what i have and I do want to wait 3 or 4 years so I was thinking that becoming a Dula would help with that baby itch... maybe LOL. I've thought about it before but was never in a position were I could become one... now I am not pregnant and may little guy will take a bottle.. I also would love to do what my B/F in Florida has done, she became a lactation consultant... but I am going to take it one day at a time and become a dula first. I hope.... so... the thing is.. during my training I cannot charge.. but I need 2 experiences to get my certificate.. sooo.. if anyone would like a dula (in training) after July let me know. I prob wont be able to start until middle July early august. I hope.... :-) so that's what I have been thinking about.....

our office......

OK so sense we moved here things have been pretty good. I love my house, my kids, my hubby, I just love my life. of corse money is tight, but that's OK. we have a 4 bedroom... the thing is it has felt like only a 3 bedroom. the girls share a room and Jacob has his own. the 4Th bedroom has been pretty much storage. we have this huge closet down stairs that when we moved from TLF we put everything in. so finally, yesterday we cleaned out the closet downstairs and Chris brought all the boxes down and put them in it. so now I just have to go up there and put away all the other boxes that are full of the rest of the kids toys... they have way to many. its pretty crazy how much they have. the sooner I go and clean it up the sooner we can get cable and dsl Internet and a house phone. I was going to clean it last night but then i remembered that I had a paper due... ugh that sucked.I know I didn't due it justice and i could have done better. I thought it was due today. I was going to work on it some last night then the rest today... well now I get to clean the spare room today. oh and our neighbors getting rid of a couch, they left it outside... I'm going to ask them about it. it would be good for the spare room....

Chucky E Cheese and the beach

So last night we went to the girls friends birthday party at Chuck E Cheese. they had sooo much fun. Jacob just hung out with the adults but the girls were playing on the play set almost the entire time. Chris helped them play the games so they could get tickets for prizes. I was so hard to get them to leave but we had to go because Chris had to get ready for work. I wish my camera was charged spent 2 1/2 hours there. it wasn't horribly busy. compared to the one in Brandon Florida... LOL



Well today we went to the beach. my back got BURNED! the kids were fine, I lathed them all up. Jacob was not having any part of the water, guess it was to cold. I would put his feet in and he would start whimpering. poor guy.. LOL maybe later on in the summer he will like it. Alexis was so afraid of the water.she got in at first but then decided she would rather dig a hole. Katie wanted to be in the water but spent most of that time attached to my leg. she went in by herself once... just up to her waist. she wasn't alone, my friends little girl was there helping her but she still fell over and that was it for her without me. I finally got Alexis out there right before we left. i had to pick her up and put her in the water at her waist. once she realized how much fun it was she didn't want to get out. we had a blast :-)

sleep deprived

do you ever have one of thoes days were you just feel sooo tierd but you know you got enough sleep? thats hoe I feel today. my eyes are heavy but i got atleast 8 hours of sleep last night. mybe is has to do with the fact that I didnt get to bed untill 4 am the night before. who knows. so now i'm sitting here with only my little boy home because the girls are spending the night at thier friends house, it's 10:00 and all i want to do is go to bed. so, i'm gonna take a nice shower and probably go to bed. Chris is once again at work... ugh I hate it when he works. i got yelled at for posting about thinking about having another baby. oh well. I was just stating how I think and what I want. I want 1 more, I hope I can convince Chris... we will see.... of corse not untill Jacob is like 3 do I want to even try.

bed... sleep and babies

So, at 9am my bed is finally getting looked at. after just over a year if my bed being broken, the footboard pannels popped because of the stupid TMO people screwing it up on the move from VA to FL. so if they can't fix it, they are gonna replace it. woohoo! lol I mean my son was was concieved on this bed.

so it's 2:30 am and I cant sleep. Chris is working and I'm so not use to it. It was really hard ajusting when Chris left to go off to Korea. I couldn't sleep then and i can't sleep now.

so the other thing is that I have come to the conclusion that I do want one more baby. I didn't think I did but I do. I Talked alittle bit about it to Chris and at first he was completly against it, now i'm not so sure. I hope he comes around. ....

BOYS

Every day is new and different with my son. The girls were never as daring. my lil man, born last August 8th weighing in at 11 pounds 1 ounce. so he started in this world as a lil monster. He started crawling at 5 1/2 months, started pulling up by 6 1/2 months. he is the sweetest lil boy though. But today he about gave me a heart attack. we were upstairs with Chris, he was in bed because he is doing a exercize at work so he is working nights, I had lil man on the bed while I got dreast. well... he decided he was going to try to go over the foot board on my bed head first! i caught him by his shorts! I saved him from hitting the ground head first by a hair! very scary! lil boys are very daring.... my girls never did anything like this. what am i gonna do about him?

shower

So saterday I threw a one of my very best friends a baby shower. It was a verry long day. I had been up sence about 2 the night before making sure the games were all ready. but the end result was awsome. we had so much fun! And one of her friends made cakes and did the cake for me. she did it as the theeme they are using, the rainforest theeme. The whole thing makes me want another baby.

bed

ok, so we got this really nice bedroon suit back in oct. of 2005, well when we moved to Florida for the year Chris was in Korea, the military moved us and well they messed it up.. they broke my foot board. well anyway, I havnt been able to get it fixed.. untill NOW!! woohoo the guy is comming out next thusday to look at it and if he cant fix it they are going to replace it!!!!!!! I am soo excited! it just made my day :-)

lil boys

Ok so today has been ok. my little man has started taking much longer naps! I am so happy about that. he is a much happier baby during the day. it's crazy to think that this time last year I was pregnant with him. I was in Florida near my family while my hubby was in Korea. I hate that he missed his son's birth. what else is crazy it that my 9 1/2 month old is now doing things that my girls took so long on figuring out... crawling by 5 1/2 months, pulling up by 6 1/2 months. even figured out the sippy cup thing at 6 months. its so diffrent having a little boy. I thought my girls were big when they were born.. hahahaha my 8.6 and 8.7 pound baby girls were nothing compard to my little man. he was 11.1 pounds! that still blows my mind.
