dr appt update

Tues went to the dr for a 3mo check-up, from what I read that we would be getting no shots this time around so I figured this should be an easy appt...well I was wrong(we'll get to THAT part later)

So, she got weighed/height  she's 11lb 10oz and 23 1/2 in long..... DR was running a little late so I was able to get her afternoon bottle in and she wouldnt get pissy...and he came in checked her out and everything was all good.....then he mentions we need to get 2 vaccinations that they didnt have last time, luckily one was oral so that one was easy...well last time she did GREAT and didnt flinch/cry nothing so I thought this should be easy....last time however, we had her on the table and I held her arms and just distracted her this time...I thought lets try sitting her on my lap and distracting her with her bottle.... well I got her ready with her bottle and the assistant put the alcohol on her thigh and gave her the shot well....her eyes got as big as saucers and she just let it rip...well actually nothing came out for a few seconds then the cry really let out....and cried for a good 5 minutes :-(  totally breaks my heart but it's good for her so I'll just deal with it and I guess when they say 'if it aint broke, dont fix it' well that is so true however, I dont know if putting her on the table again wouldve gotten the same reaction as last time - so next time we get shots...we're trying the table again! I can deal with it more now that it's like a 5minute cry but when she gets older idk what Im going to do, I may cry myself! ugh...NOT looking fwd to it...

DR said she looks great and is growing good so we go back again next mo and Im hoping for NO shots but I doubt it...

day 1 = SUCCESS!!!

well as you know last night was the BIG night....first night in the crib....mommy was a little nervous even tho I know you'd do fine....so we napped during the day just to get used to the surroundings so when we woke up, there would be no freak outs...so went down to sleep around 7/7:30...and boy oh boy did we zonk out QUICK! So only fussed maybe twice but some idiot outside decided they needed to squeal tire...other than that it was a pretty normal night even for me....I think I may have only gotten up 3 times to check on her....at one point I went in and she was on her belly

I actually thought her rolling onto her belly was being helped by the indentation in the pack n play....but guess I was wrong..but this morning she did have a little struggle getting onto her back...(in due time I'm sure!) Normally she's up between 6/630 this morning she slept til 7 :-)

today we go to the DR for a check-up....so I'm curious to see how much she weighs....I'm guessing about 12lbs, last mo she was 11lb 3oz...so til next time



ok so here's a start....

to hopefully make this easier on me Bre I just put her upstairs to nap in her crib so she can get used to the 'surrounding' and new sights...and I decided to take some pictures of her...I completely forgot how great my camera takes pictures...Im used to using my phone which they're not the best...so maybe I dont need a new camera after all...



 

 



FINALLY....

ok so Bre is FINALLY going to be sleeping in her crib tonight in her own room....(we were still waiting to get curtains since her room is in the front of the house)....she has been sleeping in a pack n play in the spare room(which is right off of our room)....but I found sheer curtains that were on her windows when we moved in so I washed them and Im gna put those up she is starting to 'move' more so now so I think she needs some more room....Im kinda nervous however I know she will be fine....the only reason I say that is I cant just walk into the spare room (which is attached to ours) her room is down the hall which still isnt all that far but just seems so much further away lol....Ill get thru it lol....so tonight will be the BIG NIGHT! ;-)

just call me betty crocker...

ok not really but....I have never been much of a baker (or even a cook) well now that I am a SAHM...I decided I should atleast TRY right?!?!?

Well we had to go get some groceries over the weekend so I figured I would get some stuff to make cookies and muffins...go to SAMs and B finds a pumpkin bread kit...so we bought it...well we got home and I decided to make some cookies (ok so I cheated a little and bought the pre-made cookie dough), so I made those and they turned out pretty damn good if I say so myself (but I guess you cant really screw them up unless you burn them right!??!)

So yesterday decided to make some of the punpkin bread...and boy oh boy did my house smell amaaaaazing just like a fall afternoon (even tho it was about 77 yesterday...it is OFFICIALLY fall so I figured why not)...I had some this morning with my coffee & pumpkin spice creamer (which is AMAZING) and it tastes so delish...and very moist...(prob should've taken pics BEFORE we cut into it but we just couldnt wait it smelled too good...)

 This is the kit....it comes with 2 pks....each batch makes 2 loaves (as you can see above- or there is a chart to make muffins, bundt cake etc) and we got it @ SAMs Club...and I HIGHLY recommend it if you like pumpkin bread..

so my next baking project will be cinamon struessel muffins... :-)

new discoveries...

FEET....

come in this morning from the kitchen and this is what I discover! :-) 

friday randomness

today started off FAB...I was getting ready and decided maybe try on my favorite buckle jeans and see if they happen to fit yet (-seeing a few pair of my pre-pregger jeans fit- ) well got them up AND buttoned and I can sit comfortably :-) so happy being this was my goal after I had the baby to get back into these jeans- I mean they're $50 a piece so I dont want them to go to waste ;-) yes Im one of those crazies that spends $50 on jeans however they are just so comfortable and fit so great!

now I'm not one to gush about make-up products....however I MUST gush over this one I recently got- normally I only wear some foundation/blush and mascara- very simple- so I used to use a foundation brush or sponge to put on my foundation however, I will never use one ever again- Ive seen on many shows this little pink thing make-up artist use to put on make-up well I found one and HAD to get it- well I tried it this morning and OMG...it is AMAZE-balls!!! I will never buy another lame make-up sponge again!!! if you use any sort of liquid type make-up I highly recommend you invest in one-it makes the make-up look pretty much flawless & it's washable and just pure AMAZEMENT! they also sell a cleanser to clean it, which I wasn't aware of so I ordered that today

not much happening this weekend, that I can think of off the top of my head, gonna possibly go visit my mom for lunch today @ her work- and hoping to make it to the mall at some point so I can get more of those candles I guess the rest of the weekend just kinda go with the flow.

and lastly- HAPPY FALL!!!! I'm so excited it's fall and cant wait for the cooler weather and all the things that come with fall- (yet I am NOT looking fwd to what fall)

new frustrations...

so nightly routine bottle/bath/bed- went to put her down to sleep(after a small breakdown from getting out of the bath that happens EVERY time no matter if we heat up the room, warm the towel up whatever she hates getting out of the bath)...well anyway...she is in a sleeping on her side phase and cuddling with her bear blanket...and will fall asleep that way....

I usually go and check up on her about half hour or so after we put her down just to make sure she's ok however last night after I layed her down  I went up and she was laying half side/half stomach (if that makes sense) so I took away bear blanket so she doesnt burry her face in it- so tonight I decided to stay up there for a little tonight while she falls asleep so I hear her fussing and sneak in so she doesnt see me of course  and the little stinker is full out on her belly she trying to figure out where to lay her head...burrying it in her hands which pisses her off to no point, so she starts crying then she lifts it up trying to figure out what to do next....after about 5 minutes of her fussing kicking her legs and not being able to figure out what to do with her head, I just had to help her a little so I turned it and sure enough she fell right asleep- (mind you she is still sleeping in a pack n play,((its slightly 'dented' where she usually lays so that gives her a slight advantage to roll onto her belly))- I know I know but we dont have curtains up in her room so she's in one of the spare rooms and NOT with us)

guess Im a bad mommy for letting her sleep on her belly with blankets in there. ;-)

dog = bitch

no...I don't mean the actual meaning of a female dog---- she seriously is such a diva bitch this face is  very deceiving- (ok ok before you jump down my throat she isnt an aggressive dog and doesnt attack her she just wants to be TOP DOG and make sure it's known)

First let me start off w the DIVA-

when she goes outside and the ground is wet (say from it raining the previous night)- she holds up her one paw while she pees and she REFUSES to let me clean her feet when she comes back in

normally it takes dogs awhile to find that PERFECT place to #2.....well not her...it takes her prob a good 10 min (yes a small exaggeration on that one but still way too long) and then if you're watching her (I usually look out the back window to make sure she's not digging or whatever) and she sees you it takes her even longer

now to the BITCH-

she used to be such a sweet dog(ok I worded that wrong she still is to us & other ppl) but ever since we got Kaiah she turned into MEGA bitch dog Poor kaiah...anytime she even looks at her molly growls at her...especially when we go to bed....Molly senses her presence she growls......Molly could be in a deep sleep but as soon as Kaiah enters the room she growls.... I just wish that she would get over it! lol I know she never will maybe when she's old and gray- kaiah just wants to play and Molly wants NO part of her- but at times- they can both be sweet/civil to each other



Im addicted....

last weekend went to Bath & BodyWorks and they are having a 2/$20 candle sale so of course I couldnt pass it up. They had all the new fall smells out and I LOVE LOVE LOVE fall candles actually anything fall to be exact! I think I pretty much smelled every new candle they had well I finally decided on one **CRANBERRY WOODS** and I think I need to buy 50 more cause I burned down the first one in a day and a half....right now they're still having the 2/$20 sale and Im hoping crossing EVERYTHING on my body that can be crossed that they still have it tomorrow - so I can go buy more-

 seriously it's AMAZE-balls!!!! :-) go check it out smell it and get addicted yourself!!!

if it aint broke- dont fix it....

 im so sick of fb constantly changing its layout!! I hate it!!!!! now that google+ is open to the public they need to change it yet again??? SO ANNOYING!!!!!

ok. end rant- :-)

not ready....

I have a bubble blowing, blanket grabbing, book holding, thumb sucking, TV watching, bottle grabbing, forcing herself forward when sitting up, very vocal little girl on my hands now a days...she is just growing up TOOOOO fast :(

starting new traditions.....

I am so excited to start new traditions this year....we're gna do some fall activities this year with Bre..a friend of ours owns a farm out by where my parents live and they have a 'pumpkin fest' where they have hayrides animal park, hay maze (which obv. we cant do yet)and a pumpkin patch...(http://www.renshawfarmspumpkinfest.com/) get some pictures out there. Also going to go to fall festivals/craft shows around the area as well. I know she doesnt know what's going on now but just being able to start it now and continue these traditions will be so much fun...then come winter time start some sort of traditions same with spring and summer...cant wait to look back at all of this <3

too many tears....

we went over to my brothers to visit yesterday and boy oh boy did I have a cranky little girl on my hands...(normally she has been waking up between 6:30/7 eating then falling back asleep between 9-10, then naps again between 12-2 then again between 5-6)....I dont know if she was having a bad day or if she is starting to teethe...she was crying so much all thruout the day fell asleep when we got in the car then when we got home after she ate she was crying again...she didnt get her 'naps' yesterday so I am leaning more towards a bad day....today is doing much better no tears yet  and Im hoping that continues today! She has gotten her naps so Im thinking thats what it was, if yesterday was anything how it's going to be when she actually starts teething- Im NOT looking fwd to it 

 
finally....I cant believe it's already been 3mo...and wow how she has grown she just amazes me more and more everyday and I just love it all...so here is the 3 mo picture

i forgot....

to follow up on my previous post from yesterday....I missed the MOST IMPORTANT person of all...my amazing husband...without him none of this would be possible....I wouldnt have the best job in the world, I wouldnt be blessed with ths beautiful baby girl

blessed......

Ive been doing a lot of thinking and have to start off by saying I am so blessed to be able to stay at home with my little one and actually watch her grow up right before my eyes(and growing up she is definatly doing so fast)....it really is the BEST job ever!

Yes I said job (Some people dont consider this a 'job') regardless right now it might not be much of a job because she is still sleeping a lot or just lays around and really isnt able to do much but I couldnt be happier to have chosen to be a SAHM and lucky enough that I am able to do it!

Not that I have anything against daycares or people who send their kids to daycares; it's honestly just not for me (and people that send their kids to daycare, I give you a lot of credit cause I would hate leaving them everyday), yes when she gets older it might be good for the interaction with other kids but I really dont want someone else 'raising' my child persay (So with that being said- my mission for when she is older and can start 'interacting' with other kids, I may find a mommy&me type place or even a place I can just take her for the day/few hrs and have that day to myself! There is still time to research all this) I just dont want to miss those little moments of that first time she actually.... smiled at me; or she may say her first word or that first little crawl or rollover she may have....and have someone tell me oh she was so cute when she did this or that today- I want to experience it for myself.  so at this moment,  I am just taking everything in....

EVERYTHING - from that moment when she wakes up and I go upstairs to get her and as soon as she sees me she gets that big 'gummy' smile and starts flailing her arms and legs in excitement, (just makes my heart melt)....or the way she sticks out her tongue and just laughs, to when she stops and 'poses' as soon as she sees the camera....to how she has started to 'snuggle' with her teddy blanket....to the way her face lites up as soon as she sees/hears daddy...to how upset she gets when you take the bottle away from her to burp her....to all those other little memories she is going to make in this big old world and I will be there to experience it ALL and not miss a minute of it.


I am also blessed with some friends that have little ones (just not as young as Bre) (and some that dont have little ones that I adore just as much) to play with which will be great..... but I was lucky enough to be blessed with a sweet friend that I met thru BBC chat boards that is also a SAHM (with a gorgeous little princess that is a day younger than Bre) who I think is going to become a great friend to me and Bre and hopefully our girls will grow up and make lots of memories together...



I am just so excited for all these adventures that I am going to be blessed with and I cant wait to just cherish every last one of them .....

Picture this...

So lastnight were sitting watching tv after hanging out w the neighbors, I'm feeding the baby and all the sudden Brad says "there's a bat in here" so I think he's totally joking -

((let me rewind to 2mo ago, we were sleeping downstairs(ac wasn't cooling the upstairs)  its 3am & Molly starts freaking out running around the dining room...I see something flying around I scream to B there is a freaking bat in here (cue me hiding under the cover) B thinks I'm a nut and doesn't believe me then it comes flying in the living room...so he flips all the lights on and starts trying to.catch it long story short we finally get it into.the laundry room he then comes back to bed and I'm like wth are u doing let the thing out of here so ge finally got it out of the house...))

So back to lastnight...I see the damn thing come high tail it into the living room where the baby and I are...so I throw a blanket over our heads as I scream, she starts to cry I'm freaking out trying to calm her down to finish feeding her B runs over to the neighbors to get a net he come back and can't find the damn thing and Molly is still running around like a nut trying to find it and then Kaiah is chasing her around thinking she wants to play...he goes upstairs and can't find it...and the damn thing is sitting on the hall closet door  he caught it then it somehow got out of the net but he got it again and let it.outside...it was quite an interesting night for sure...still have no idea where it can't in from...our fireplaces upstairs are non working and sealed off, the attic door was completely shut but if it happens again we r calling a damn exterminator- I bet if anyone wouldve seen this they prob wouldve laughed their asses off!
