My wonderful Husband



I wanted to take a minute to talk about my wonderful husband who is going to be a daddy in a mere 62 days... maybe sooner! I don't think that men really understand the bond and love that a woman feels for her child even before its born. We get to feel all the kicks and flutters and there is that connection that I just can't explain. The men have to go through 9 months of waiting, only seeing ultrasound pictures and hearing the heartbeat at doctors appointments. If they are lucky they can feel the baby kick and move but for Todd this doesn't happen often because Wyatt stops as soon as his hand touches my belly. So the men have to sit back, watch the belly's grow, listen to us rejoice and complain about what the baby's been doing but they don't really have that connection. Todd has been very supportive, helpful and understanding about everything that I have gone through and continue to go through. I think that Todd is going to be the best support person/coach anyone could ask for. I also think that he is going to be a very hands on dad and that he can't wait to meet his son. Todd has loved being a part of every decision from the bedding selection to shopping for clothes and he even goes to every single doctors appointment. Having a child is definitely something that I couldn't do without someone I love. I feel closer to Todd now than I ever have before. I can't imagine going through pregnancy and even labor and delivery without him by my side for his love and support. He is the most amazing man! I just want to tell him thanks!

All night long

As I sit here pumping in bed at 3:30 in the morning, I wonder how I got my little one to sleep all night long in his crib! I'm watching wiggle and move on the baby monitor and thank God that he can now sleep all night with no help! Me on the other hand, well I'm trying to keep that milk supply up and create a supply for when we go out of town. When will my days of All Night Long come? - Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone

We all need friends

I remember almost a year ago when a good friend of mine invited me to a lunch group, Friday's at noon. At that time in my life I needed it! I needed to get out and meet new friends, other ladies with children about the same age, going through the same thing. This was a life saver for me. I am not a very outgoing person and it's hard to make friends when you don't have a full time job. Long story made short.... I made some GREAT friends in that group. As all good things to do though, things changed, people moved on and life became a little crazy for all of us. So the lunch group is starting up again and even though some people have left, we have some new faces to get to know! Wednesday a couple of us went out for a ladies night out and it was great! Two new people for me to get to know and I feel like I have made two new life long friends. It's so refreshing to just have a night out with the ladies and yes, we may spend the whole night talking about our babies and what t...

First trip to the ER

Image
Yesterday was a day of firsts! First time to try to potty training and first trip to the ER. Here is how we ended up there..... He woke up feeling good and we had a nice start to potty training! He didn't eat a lot of breakfast but some days he does and others he doesn't so I didn't think much about it. When lunch time rolled around he still didn't eat. He then became very cranky and uninterested in the potty thing so I let my dad take him up for his nap. He normally goes down pretty easy but today he didn't. He said that his tummy hurt and couldn't get comfortable. He finally fell asleep but didn't stay asleep long. He moved all around and cried out a couple times then finally woke up. He was NOT himself. He cried and wanted to be held. Then all of a sudden he would be fine. Then minutes later he would say his tummy hurt, then drop to his knees and cry and move around trying to get comfortable. It was so sad. My parents wanted him to spend the night si...
