Topics

At our house, there are only three things that people want to talk to me about: Sleep, boobs, and poop.

They ask about how the baby is sleeping.

They ask about how well she eats.

They laugh about how loud her toots are, and hand her back to me, knowing that she just made a nice mess for me to clean up.

Does any of this bother me? Heck no!! I am super excited to have all this excitement in my life again, and I will answer any and all questions about my sweet baby girl all day long!

Just don't try and tell me that I need to try to break her habits before I have to go back to work or that I need to try and make her keep to a schedule a little better, and all that other crap that is well intentioned, but still doesn't need to be said.

I have about three weeks left before I have to go back to work, and I am already dreading the fact that I am going to have to leave her at home and go deal with rugrats at school. The good part is that I have talked to my sub, and they are really ready for me to come back! :) HA! Funny how they were so ready for me to leave, now they want me back! I can see how some mothers never go back to work, but I also know that I like to go to work, so I'll enjoy the time I am paying to take, because I want to soak in every moment that I can!

I am so thankful for my little family. I have so much to be thankful for this Thanksgiving. A wonderful husband, a sweet little boy, and an adorable little girl. A job that helps me afford the things I want to give my children, and family members that love my children and provide more love for them than I ever knew possible. I hope your Thanksgiving is full of love and happiness, too!

As Requested...

I've been having technical difficulties... sorry it took so long!

Here are a few pictures of my beautiful baby girl...

And one of both my beautiful babies!!

Now you can see why I haven't posted much lately! I've been too busy staring at her!

Now you're going to be stuck, too!!

IT'S A ...

GIRLY GIRL!!

We named her Rebecca Dawn, she was born on Wednesday, October 24th at 4:44 pm weighing 6 pounds 3 ounces and measuring 19 inches long. After a couple days of really unfun contraction feelings and pain all day long, my doctor and I decided that we would try to induce on Wednesday morning. Not knowing how long we would be in labor, and remembering how late visitors showed up after being in labor with Micheal, we opted not to make phone calls until after the baby was born. Then, thanks to the joy of texting, I opted to text more people than call people, because I was really tired. The only reason I even chose that option was because I had been answering texts all day long of people asking if I had had a baby yet or not. I was even getting phone calls in my room from the day care people! My husband even unplugged the phone at one point, and my mom plugged it back in after she was born.

Then, twenty four hours later, we went home! I stayed in the hospital two days for Micheal, and this time I didn't want to do that. I am much more comfortable at home!

I'll post pictures when I get them off the camera. She is too beautiful to not share.

Still Waiting...

As of right now, I'm still pregnant, and without regular contractions.

In the wee hours of Thursday morning, I was not so lucky, but I haven't had any of that caliber since then. I do feel like this baby has dropped even more since last Monday, but we'll just have to wait and see what my doc says tomorrow afternoon at my apppointment... if I make it that far! :)

My husband just told my son to come and pat my belly, because then maybe it would pop, because I was blown up like a balloon. Isn't that nice of him? So sweet.

Maybe next time I post, it will be with a picture and a name! :)
Here's hoping!

What does he know?

So, my doctor now says that this baby has dropped a little earlier than we thought, and that I have about a week before we get to welcome this baby into our world. I am a little nervous about all this happening a little earlier than we first thought, but I am starting to get a little bit more excited as the days go on.
I am ready at home, and I am about half a step away from being ready at school. I left today knowing that if I had this baby tonight, I'd be alright and be able to leave my kids in able hands. For a few weeks at least.
Then, I want them back.
