Lately

Life has been a little crazy lately. With Todd being in Atlanta, I'm the sole caregiver of Wyatt and in charge of all the household duties which include our two little dogs! I was feeling a little down and then on Friday my spirits were lifted! My friend was nice enough to invite me to lunch and to a great consignment sale. I loved it! Actually getting up with a purpose, something to do! It was fun to have adult conversation and get to know people, such nice people. I am hoping to continue to get to know these great people and having something fun to look forward to. Along with walking away with 4 great deals from the consignment sale, I walked away with the confidence that I too could add another little one to our family. After seeing my friend take care of her two young children with such ease and patience, I am hopeful once again. Todd and I want more children, 2 or 3 more, not sure on that, but we want more and sometime soon. I have always been fearful though, would I be able to handle it? Would we forever be stuck in our house because getting out was just to hard? After watching her, I want to learn how she does it! She is one amazing mom!!! I mean amazing mom! (Today I passed by the maternity store (Atlanta has some great ones! I'll be honest, I wanted, to NEED to go in... if you get my drift! No, no I'm not but makes me want another one. Am I crazy? I'm thinking so! I'm open to thoughts on this one... to wait or not to wait.)

Saturday, my weekend continue to be great! Wyatt and Wilson had a play date, meaning that Amber and I had a lunch date. I put together a grilled chicken salad and the boys got to roll around on the floor together. They loved it! It really is nice to get to see friends again! I feel like I have been so consumed with things that I have neglected everyone! Later that evening, Aniela stopped by and helped me with wyatt while I packed up everything for my week in Atlanta and Wyatt's week with JenJen, Mimi and Papa!

Today was the best day though (could have been better if Wyatt was with us but we made the best of it). I drove to Atlanta and got to spend the whole day with Todd! We bought Wyatt a new car seat, walked around the mall, went to a movie and had a great steak!! Now I get to update my blog and go to sleep.....I'm lovin it!

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

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...
