Trial Nights #4 & 5=Failure

So the last couple night have been pretty bad. He's been sleeping about 4-5 hours, which is nice-don't get me wrong, but all night would have been amazing. Guessing it was the tylenol...hmmmm. just kidding. He's been talking (cooing) like crazy. Its almost as if you do something, he wants to do it too so he stares and waits a minute than does something. Forgot the other day to tell you how the dr went. 13 lbs 7 oz naked, i weighed him again when she went out of the room with his diaper and a recieving blanket....13 lbs, 11 oz.....which means cereal in two months instead of four. 23 inches. He's wearing 3-6 month onsies. She said he's super advanced for his age. Wants to stand, all developmental skills are great. So here in another month, I'm taking a shopping trip to Babies R Us to get some toys!!!!! yah.
Also, we've been going back and forth on the fence about having another baby right away...we decided as of right now, it would be great to wait awhile but if it happens, it happens.
I think we're taking our first vacation to San Diego in the spring. Leave on a Thursday morning and come back the next Wednesday. I love to plan it during a flea market, I hear they go for miles on end....i love flea markets

Until next time....

Trail Night #3=Success

Last night Burklee slept through the entrie night. Dont know if it was b/c of the tylenol or if he's routine is finally kicking in but it was so nice....and.........no wet spots on the bed, his clothes or anything!!!! YAHHHH!!!!!!!

Until next time....

So the shots are over! thank goodness. the last one the only bad one but with a dose of tylenol and grandma's lovin, the afternoon has actually been pretty quiet. We did our walmart neccessity shopping, a little house cleaning, ans now a red velvet double layer inappropriate cake for my brother's sweet 16. I do a different shape every year and this one should be pretty fun...just letting the cakes cool off now. ready to decorate in a few. Sorry there won't be any pictures of it...it would def. turn your faces red!!!

Last night was trial #2 of Burklee sleeping through the night. slept about 7 hours before he started getting restless..quick feeding and back to bed. All though it ended with me washing two sheets, one onsie (singlet), and one very dirty baby this morning.

Until next time....

shots...eeek

Tomorrow Burklee goes to get his 1st set of shots....and i have to go by myself. I'm so scared for him. I know I'm going to cry. Lately he's been addicted to the tv. no matter where he's sitting, he finds his way to stare at it whether he's upside down, sideways, clear across the room, wherever! So....we are currently looking for some learning dvd's to play...watching it calms him down and i don't really like him watching mtv.
I haven't discussed this with allan but i just think there's too much going on right now for us to move back to con...at least right now anyways but i would def like to if the chance came along. Not much else is going on...schools going good, bryce's bday is tomorrow...big 16. mine was a couple days ago. 5-6 drinks of a bahama mama and it was enough for me. allan got me tons of clothes, a phone, and i consider that laptop to be a gift too. it was perfect. also got some jewelry from my s-i-l's., money, had bday cake with my mom, brother, gma, gpa, allan, and burk. and a bbq with allan's side and chris. it was such a good bday!

Until next time....

So I've recently been addicted to this blog www.thewoodfolks.blogspot.com and its so funny b/c I think I'm like her in a way...or at least she's my witty fun side that I don't use a whole lot. So here's some random thoughts she had that I've either thought about, said, or I totally agree with but don't think I would ever say....

I wish Google Maps had an "Avoid Ghetto" routing option.

More ofen than not, when someone is telling me a story all I can think about is that I can't wait for them to finish so that I can tell my own story that's not only better, but also more directly involves me.

Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you're wrong.

I totally take back all those times I didn't want to nap when I was younger.

I think everyone has a movie that they love so much, it actually becomes stressful to watch it with other people. I'll end up wasting 90 min shiftily glancing around to confirm that everyone's laughing at the right parts, then making sure I laugh just a little bit harder (and a millisecond earlier) to prove that I'm still the only one who really, really gets it.

I have a hard time deciphering the fine line between boredom and hunger.

Lol has gone from meaning, "laugh out loud" to "I have nothing else to say".

I think the part of a best friend's job should be to immediately cleare your computer history if you die.

Whenever someone says "I"m not book smart, but I'm street smart", all I hear is "I'm not real smart, but I'm imaginary smart".

Obituaries would be a lot more interesting if they told you how the person died.

I find it hard to believe there are actually people who get in the shower first THEN turn on the water.

Shirts get dirty. Underwear gets dirty. Pants? Pants never get dirty, and you can wear them forever....(not true now since I have a baby-everything gets dirty)

Bad decisions make good stories.

Can we all agree to ignore what comes after DVD's. I dont' want to have to restart my collection.

There's no worse feeling than that millisecond you're sure you are going to die after leaning your chair back a little too far.

Do not machine wash or tumble dry means I will never wash this ever.

I hate being the one with the remote in a room full of people watching TV. There's so much pressure. I love this show, but will they judge me if I keep it on? I bet everyone is wishing we weren't watching this. It's only a matter of time before they all get up and leave the room. Will we still be friends after this?"

I hate leaving the house confident and looking good and then not seeing anyone of importance the entire day. What a waste.

When I meet a new girl, I'm terrified of mentioning something she hasn't already told me but that I've learned from some light internet stalking.

Why is a school zone 20 mph? That seems like the optimal cruising speed for pedophiles...

Sometimes I'll look down at my watch 3 consecutive times and still not know what time it is.



Allan's all time favorite because he says this all the time....Is it just me or do high school girls get sluttier and sluttier every year?

And my ALL TIME FAVORITE b/c this is me exactly....Whenever I'm Facebook stalking someone and I find out that their profile is public I feel like a kid on Christmas morning who just got a Red Ryder BB gun that I always wanted. 546 pictures? Dont' mind if I do!

And just some funny ones...that I've never thought of....but I laughed at

While driving yesterday I saw a banana peel in the road and instinctively swerved to avoid it.....thanks Mario Kart.



Hope you had some good laughs like I did...

Until next time....

So today is thursday

Yes! Thursday. Had my first day of classes yesterday....homework already!!! Taking Burklee to classes on Fridays...haha. Things are getting stressful at home...but at the same time so much easier. Burklee is sleeping better at night even though last night he woke up a few times. He kept gagging and choking (thats so not how you spell that), and as of right now waiting for the nurse to call me back to see if we can get in. Most likely won't be until this afternoon. I think with my bookbag, diaper bag, camera bag, and burklee in his extremely heaving carseat (wanting a new one) walking up the hill at cloud to my car, I'll be able to not only loose the baby fat i still have but maybe even tone up a bit. It reminds me of that story about the witch wanting the boy to carry the pig up the mountain everyday so his muscles build as so does the pig...not calling my son a pig, just reminds me! We're also running out of clothes for him...he's now in between 0-3 and 3-6. Some are still way too big but some of his 0-3 are way to small. Today's my first day in awhile to just relax at home but I still have about 4 loads of laundry, dishes, clean the living room, our bedroom, burklee's room (how that room gets so messy and he's never in there is beyond me), sweep the back porch, go visit Aunt Arin, leave for park city at 5 with my mom....not much relaxing. No new pics for now! sorry

Until next time....

Dressupdrawer

Found this awesome givaway!!! Def. check it out www.thedressupdrawer.blogspot.com

until next time....

a little early...

It's a little early to talk about our weekend but...oh well. We did pretty much nothing.

Friday...bingo-no win for me! big surprize

Saturday...allan helped my mom load up a washer, dryer, and stove to brookville. walked and ate at the mall twice. Visited aunt a#4. twice. window shopped for my birthday and went to bed early. Bought new bottles, soothies since he's addicted to his soothie binky. They work so good!!! I'm glad we got them instead of the Dr. Brown's.

Sunday...tried going to church but...forgot the binky and well...you all know how that would end up. We left after worship. Waiting for my in-laws to call and grab something to eat....

oh, picked some tomatoes and one carrot. got a pedi today (after pulling weeds, plants, and picking veggies). Start classes wednesday and Burklee goes to the dr on the 27th. Thats about it!!!

some pics from the weekend!

s

just some pictures....

Here's some pictures from our garage sale #1 weekend! enjoy...

The last picture is the gross wone i was talking about before but its so dang cute!

We (I) found some bedding that is so adorable for a girl. We've been talking about having another baby...still just talk but we'll see! We're just going to keep focus on Burklee right now but just in case here's the picture of it...

Until next time...

Good News

So I'm officially writting this blog entry on my new laptop...I'm so excited. It was very spur of the moment...Allan's uncle seen it on sale in the paper and said it was really really nice and a great bargain that we couldn't pass up....I'm so excited! Its intended to be for my business which I'm getting very excited about also. I thought it would be a lot harder than it actually is. Allan's uncle...again...is going to help out with taxes for it and everything so when it comes time and I finally start making appointments, I can be ready!

We had our garage sale yesterday and today. We didn't advertise so it go as planned but we'll have it again in a few weeks after putting it in the paper!

I start school in less than two weeks and still haven't found a babysitter. Its only two hours monday, wednesday, and friday and I'm not wanting to pay a minimum fee of 30 hours when I only need 6. My m-i-l said she would watch him from 4-5 mondays when I have my night classe till 7.

We are still looking into moving to concordia...we really want to. I would rather start my business there instead of salina. There is only 1 studio photographer in con vs. 8 in salina...not including home business photographers.

Burklee is doing good. I got a cute picture. Some people might find it gross but I think its so cute! I'll upload it tomorrow. We go to the dr in 2 1/2 weeks. Oh he giggled last night. Well 2:30 in the morning but it was still the cutest thing I've ever heard.

Not much else to report.

Until next time....

How we sleep...

This is how we fall asleep!


This is how we wake up!


Allan said the other day...its almost like he's a real person. It made me chuckle.

And this is just a fun one! It happens to be my favorite picture right now!

So..I got a lot accomplished today. I mean A LOT!!! So. I did laundry (3 loads), swept the house, made two batches of chocolate chip cookies, pork chops, baked potatoes, and veggies. (my dad came over to see Burk so I made dinner-for once). Also finished editing my website so it should be ready anyday now, and...dishes! Doesn't sound like much but when your in the middle of holding a crying baby, feeding him, changing him, and taking care of three dogs, its a lot! Not much else to report.

18 Days till my big 21!!!

Until next time....

got the ok!

So I had my 6 week check up yesterday and...got the ok to have sex and exercise! Psh! exercising, are you kiding? I do have the chance to do a little yoga or some sit-ups twice a day when Burk is down for a nap, but oh-sleeping sounds so good instead. I weighed in a whopping 137.5. Started out 113, ended up at 172. 24.5 more to go! I would be happy with only 10 more off but I really don't think my mall walking everyother night is going to cut it for long. Expecially when I get distracted! And...I can eat pizza and hot wings without getting horrible hearburn!!! That my friend, is amazing!
Teething? Grabbing? Eating?
Burklee, I swear is teething. I've never seen a baby so small drool so much! And instead of sucking on his bink, he chews on it and also chews on everything else. His fists, blankets, bottles. He's learning to grab at things too. My nose (when I kiss him), kellie, his toys on his tummy time mat, his hair, his ears, his cheeks. I woke up to him laughing. Probably wasn't real laughing but it was so cute, even if it was only for a little gas bubbles. We're up to 4 ounces every 3 1/2 hours! Oh does that boy eat. He's finally getting that baby fat. Little wrinkles on his arms, neck, and legs! Its so cute!

It still so sureal to me! To have a baby, a baby that was in my stomach, that I felt. And here he is just sitting next to me! Allan still says it feels like we're babysitting.
Co-Sleeping!
We decided that co-sleeping is right for us. It makes us sleep better and Burklee gets a full night of sleep instead of a few hours. We don't move, don't use drugs or alcohol (that was a big issue if we should or not-to the dr's), and its nice to be able to check on him by looking over instead of getting up and walking into the other room. I haven't told my dr and don't think I'm going to, she advised us(yelled at us) never to co-sleep or let him even take his naps on a bed other than his own. Personally, I think that would be up to the parents, whatever makes a person happy and we really want this, at least for a couple more months.
Moving?
We found a house we want in Concordia. I think it would be the only reason to move back, its the only house we've liked. It would be absolutely perfect for us. Its my in-laws but their not to set in stone on selling it. It came up last night. We would pay less for it then we did our 2 bedroom, 1 bath, no basement here in salina. It has 7 bedrooms, (well 5, and 2 offices), 2 bathrooms, it would be nice to have that extra space for when we have more kids. We were talking about having another soon but in this house, we could probably only fit one more unless we added on. Which we've talked about that too! If we stay here another 4 years, the state pays $7,000 and if we stay 9 more, they pay $14,000. But adding on, which use that money up, and only add maybe two rooms at the most! And we would keep just one bathroom which is killing us now let alone with 2-3 kids. But for now, its just waiting!
I have a video, its probably nothing so some people, but I think its cute!


Until next time....

bored...

Was just bored and thought these were funny!

Until next time....
