I think there is a conspiracy among our children to see how long their mothers can take it while they wake up repeatedly in the night. Somehow they have found a way to contact each other and keep each other aware of their progress. Nancy, I remember you saying Stella has been up a lot, and Caly, I think you were saying the same about Maria. I swear ( Read more... )

So we put a bid on a house today. Damn woman countered and also doesn't want to pay for the radon test. Meanwhile she is lucky someone offered her what we did because her taste is hideous. It will mean a total overhaul of walls and floors. Not the condition, but her style/decor. It is a great house in a great location, so that's why we did it. We' ( Read more... )

Isabella is 8 months old today. I just cannot believe it. 8 months ago I was going through agony and then experiencing pure joy, both of which were like I have never known. She is such a blessing and I am so thankful for her. She is in her Jumperoo right now laughing and babbling and trying to get the dog's attention. Poor Cody still doesn't ( Read more... )

Took Bella to the pumpkin patch today. We had fun but John and I were not in the best of moods. The first place we went to was packed, but then we found a different out of the way place which was much better. I'll post pics in my WC journal. Haven't done pics here yet. I can't believe another weekend is done ( Read more... )

I don't know what is up with this child lately. She keeps waking up 2x at night (well, more like ungodly early morning). I've tried to let her go, but she just gets louder and louder. Not crying, but yelling and banging her legs down in her crib over and over. We have little trinkets on shelves in her room, and everytime she bangs her legs, they ( Read more... )

...and its a bad one. Turns out my LJ updates have been bitch sessions lately. Sorry. MIL just called after never calling last night when she was supposed to come over and wants to come over tonight instead to drop off the baby's costume. Turns out she didn't come over last night because her boyfriend, who goes everywhere - and I mean everywhere - ( Read more... )

Bella's asleep, John gets home tonight from 5 days in Seattle, and my back is killing me. Took off from Pilates this week because I totally hurt it Thurs. night in class ( Read more... )

This sucks. John is in Seattle till Tues. It's one thing being alone during the week, but the weekend too - totally blows ( Read more... )

Oh my God, I am here ( Read more... )

Getting Bella to sleep last night was tough. The night before, she was sleepy so I rocked her for a bit and then put her in her crib. She fussed for a few min but fell asleep. I was like, all right! This isn't so bad! Yeah whatever ( Read more... )
