Of course, things are going along really nicely, we make the decision that after I finish this pill pack, we will start trying to have another baby, and BAM, we get shit on again. Todd laid Nick off as of the 27th, but he is home today because there isnt anything for him to do at the shop. Its total bullshit. Todd doesnt lay off his son who lives ( Read more... )

My son is now 1 year and 2 days old. I cant believe how fast time flies. We sat around Wednesday night, eating cupcakes and snapping pictures, just the 3 of us and I loved it. Tomorrow we are having a big BBQ to celebrate with family and friends. Its going to be a good day I think. We are getting the kiddie pool out and borrowing Liv's water table ( Read more... )

We finally made it up to China Beach. It was beautiful. Of course I decided we didnt need to bring Nuggets bathing suit, because he would probably just put his feet in and then want to play with the sand. Boy was I wrong. He just crawled straight into the ocean, it was hilarious. He just played and played in the water and was not impressed when I ( Read more... )

Into week number 2 now. Its still hard to believe I'm at work. Things are going pretty good though. Not feeling any resistance anymore which is good. I was getting pretty nervous but I think people just had to get used to me being here. Everyone is really nice and on Friday Phil made Pina Coladas for us, it was delicious ( Read more... )

Cant believe I'm at work right now. 3rd day back and its way different than before. I find I get distracted wondering what Alden is up to. I know its good for him to be in daycare with other kids so it isnt so hard before, but I'm so used to knowing everything he does that it is weird knowing he spends majority of his time awake with other people ( Read more... )

So tired! We havent had a chance to just relax, stress free in our house yet. Every day its go-go-go and now Nick is off work again with some more back issues so he cant help around the house. At least I got the grout in our super-awesome bathtub sealed so this weekend hopefully Nathan can come out, finish hooking up the plumbing stuff and we can ( Read more... )

Ah it feels good to be in our house. Monday the inspector came and gave us the thumbs up to move in. I have never seen so much stuff moved so quickly! Now I just have to unpack it all...at least this time I know its not a "I wonder how long we will be here for" unpacking. I can put things away and know that unless we decide to sell, we are here for ( Read more... )

And the Mommy Guilt is just OVERWHELMING right now. I have strep throat and havent been touch him or hold him in 2 days, and I'm just scared that I've already given it to him. I hope he doesnt have it and that he can avoid feeling like I have the last few days. I have had a super high fever and slept for about 24 hours with the odd water break. The ( Read more... )

Crawling and standing 9 month olds kick ass. Alden is all over the place, and it is just amazing watching him learn. He crawled, and then 2 days later stood up and now its hard to catch him when he is on the move. It will be nice to get into the new house soon so that we can fully baby-proof everything and then let him run wild ( Read more... )

Life is definitely hectic. I cant imagine how busy we would be if Nick and I were both at work. Good thing we arent! Nick is still off work with his broken back, almost at 6 months. Hopefully he will be back at work soon, he is in a back to work program right now, going to physio for 2-3 hours 5 days a week. Its definitely helping him and has ( Read more... )
