Success!
I've been having a hard time trying to get Colt to eat baby food. If I catch him at the right moment, he'll polish off a jar no problem; but if he's really hungry, sleepy, not hungry or doesn't like the flavor then it's impossible. He's not used to eating without sucking on something so it'll take some time to get him off the bottle. But I found today that if I give him his own baby spoon to suck on then I can sneak bites in and he'll eat at least half a jar. :D
Heart broken
I love my son so much, it breaks my heart.
He's sitting in his swing right next to me, with a big grin on his face, big blues eyes sparkling, breaking my heart. Babbling while he plays with his pacifier, watching "Grey's Anatomy", and drooling all over the place.
I love watching him scoot and crawl around, it makes me proud to see him pull himself up like a big boy and walk along the couch. He makes me laugh with his funny faces as he sucks on his lower lip, looking over the side of the recliner at me. I laugh with him when I'm tickling his belly, tossing his in the air, or when we play peek-a-boo.
It hurts me when he falls and hits his head, that sad painful cry of his. I yell with him when he starts yelling for no reason, the two of us making a whole lot of racket together.
I love how that kid breaks my heart. <3

*gag*
For the first time, since getting pregnant and including my pregnancy with Baby C, I threw up today.
Not that exciting but it is something different. I have been feeling sick more often during this pregnancy which leads me to believe this baby could be a girl. :-D With Baby C, I basically had no symptoms of pregnancy at all. You could never tell I was pregnant before until my belly started growing.
So cross your fingers !! And pray for a little Charlotte Mae :-D

Shrimp
I had my first doctor's appt. yesterday for baby #2. Everything looked nice and healthy and I wasn't as far along as I thought, but still over 2 months. The baby is a big as a medium sized shrimp, the eyes are developed but not open and the hearing system is developed so the baby can hear me. Today I am 10 weeks along which, get this, puts my due date 4 days after Baby C's birthday! They will be almost to the day, a year apart. Crazy!
I have my first wedding client :-) She is Rachel's niece and I've met her before but it's still a wedding. She's getting married in Myrtle Beach so she only needs me as a consultant. At least I will get some experience and have someone to finally write a review of me. I was hoping this would help jump start my wedding planning career but now that I've found out I'm pregnant, it will have to put on hold a little longer. Again.
I found a new website I am in love with. "Pioneer Woman"..a rancher's wife who has 4 kids, homeschools, writes, has a cookbook out, is writing a book about how she met her husband, and is a photographer. She is amazing. Hopefully, after I finish this photography class I can start a more successful blog and become a better writer. I was a good writer in college, when I had to be.
I need something constructive to do with my days...when Baby C is asleep, besides watching TV and checking my Facebook every 30 minutes. I don't really have a lot to write about...so a blog really isn't a good idea. I don't like not having a set schedule of work, class, home...things like that. I miss the busy life I used to have. This blog is here for me to vent really...get thoughts out of my head and onto "paper".
Right now though, its Lost with the hubby. The hubby who keeps dozing off...

OMG
I can NOT believe it, but I am pregnant. Again.
I am at least two months along, the nurse says I am possibly 11 weeks along already. I had one cycle after Baby C was born then I started taking the pill so I thought that might have thrown my cycle off. So I was waiting longer then usual before I began to think that I might be prego. But here we are! 11 weeks prego with a 4 1/2 month old...Lord help me.

4 months
Well it's been two months since my last post and Baby C is growing like a weed! He has accomplished so much. He can laugh, scream (for fun), he can push up onto his hands when on his belly. He can recognize his bottle and reach for it, he can reach for and grab toys, and he has started teething. He seems to really like his baby pain reliever, its grape flavored :-). He was sleeping completely through the night, from 6 pm to 6 am, but now that his gums are hurting, he wakes up around 2 or 3 first. He saw himself in the mirror at walmart and started laughing! I love watching him grow and learn. It's too bad Hubby can't be here like I can to watch him.
Right now I'm trying to lay him down for a nap and he keeps streeeeetching his leg out so that he's practically laying on his side. He has so many wiggles in him, you literally have to hold him down sometimes till he calms down. I put my hand on his head and pat him till I see his eyes start to close. Or I just let him watch his mobile till he will pass out as soon as I roll him over. He fights sleep so hard, its sad and funny at the same time.
Mom bought him a baby "entertainer" and he loves it. He can stretch and bounce on his legs. Its got lots of bright colorful toys around it for him to play with. He loves to stand up :-). He can almost sit up by himself. He hasn't quite mastered his balance yet though. I'm hoping that by putting him in his entertainer that he will learn to keep his balance better. He had his first sink bath a couple weeks ago. He's so cute when he's all wet. :-)
My 5 year reunion went well. I was worried people wouldn't show up on account of the rain. It was POURING, but there ended up being about 15 of us total. Jeremiah has flown in from California and was able to make it, Kashon ran into him at walmart and found out about the reunion that way. Some people had to work, but I gave them almost 6 months notice, I don't know why they couldn't have taken off that day. A lot of people just flaked for some reason, which annoys me to no end. If you can't make it then no big deal, but don't say you are going to come then don't show. It's just rude. *sigh*, oh well, at least some showed.
I didn't know Melissa would be there. I thought her and Matt were still in Ohio. I was SO happy to see her. It brought back a lot of good memories from Raddy. I miss those times. It was totally predictable to see the same people who hung out in high school hanging out at the reunion. I had people sign a card for Brittney since she was in the hospital. Although I found out later that Brittney isn't even in the hospital anymore. I hope they send it back so I can send it to the right address. It was a good time despite the rain and cop outs. :-)
I finally got my back porch the other day. The boys put it together in one day. Now I have a place to entertain. We have a table and chairs, a tanning chair and the grill up there. We have yet to put the rails up but that is on the list. I painted it a dark brown and I think its looks great. I love it :-). I can tan while the baby naps and go out and read. We can have dinner out there. It expands our living space and I love the extra room. I hope to put in a pool with our tax return. :-)
