Too Big?

Its 11:14pm and yes, I'm still awake. Since this blog is called growing with baby...I thought it would be perfect to talk about my weight and how people think I still have a little one inside me...growing! About a week ago, I was asked how far along I was in my pregnancy. After making a scene and chaning my shirt (that I guess looked like a maternity shirt), I recieved a sorry..kind of. Tonight, the same person told me about a gym that was offering a free trial. Seriously. He said he didn't mean it like that but still. And yes, I said he! I'm still in shock. So after contemplating (talking with allan). I have decided to get the 30 day shred by Jillian Michaels DVD, its a 30 day workout dvd and if I absolutely love excerising after 30 days, I'm going all out and getting the p90x, 90 day DVD set!! I'm actually kind of excited. I know I shouldn't let one persons opinion get to me, but its been almost 7 1/2 months since I had burklee. I've gotten to the lowest I could without excersing and now its coming back...like the dishes that need to be done. I can ignore them all I want, but they'll still be ther in the morning. Oh and the other day we were eating with my husbands family and when the waitress asked if anyone wanted dessert, three people looked straight at me and my f-i-l (from acroos the table, not even looking at my "yummy" face), said anna you want some...I'm usually the person that says yes, when everyone else says no. Well guess what...I say no! No to pop, tea, sweets, candy, chocolate! yes I said chocolate! So absolutely no tempting people!

One fun day....

So first off we had some elvis lips going on!

Then just some overall excitement!

So mama forgot to get pictures from halloween...but no worries...i got them now!

And I had to get one of that cute little butt!!!

Ducks...

Burklee and I went to the park the other day...it was actually semi nice out and watched the ducks...for a couple minutes, before the wind picked up!

I didn't get any pics of burk with the ducks though. sorry

And burk got a new outfit from gma!

This time next week!

So the realtor came over last night to go over last minute things before we put our house on the market. We have little things to do like rearrange furniture, take down burklee's monkey's off the wall (which I won't be able to do...its too hard for me), and take down anything personal or that says our names...so ALL of our pictures in the living room, burklee's picutres in his room and his name blocks and the picture my gma made with his name, weight, and length. I started working on things yesterday but after spending 4 1/2 hours on packing, I couldn't handle it anymore. I felt like I was packing my life up...b/c the house we're moving to is too small to unpack everything so I won't be able to unpack everything until we build our new house! My mom says I'm a horder (or however you spell that)..I keep everything! and I agree, I do keep a lot! And it is very hard for me to move away from my family. I like seeing my mom everyday but I have to keep telling myself I'll see her throughout the week and this decision is better for our family! Me, Allan, and Burk. It will be better for my business, Allan won't have to drive, and I'm hoping Concordia's School System is better than Salina. Main setbacks is there is no ymca or really good dance studio's. We'll have to make due I guess! So this time next week, our house will be on the market and hopefully have people looking!!!

Some new things here at the Jackson House!

So some new things.....I finally got my studio equipment out. I still need my transmitter and receiver for my strobe lights but here's a little sample

I still need to do a little ironing to my backgrounds but isn't my subject just too cute!

Burklee has learned to crawl....backwards!

Little story-I went to the bathroom one day with burk asleep on his blanket in the middle of the living room. We had started painting the walls so the love seat was pushed out and our house was a mess...I came out of the bathroom not even 2 minutes later and this is what I found....

Yes burklee is under the coffee table trying to squeeze thru a box (that I can barely lift) and the coffee table leg!

And this is the face I got when I said, "Burklee, what do you think your doing?"

Within the last couple days, he has also wanted to learn to feed himself. He no longer thinks he needs mama's help! And this is the result of that.

So as you can see, i've been a little busy!

Didn't make it...

So I didn't make it...hitting the 100 posts that is. But...

Butklee had a dr. appt last week...actually loosing a bit of weight...went from 24 lbs to 21 lbs. 27 inches long. Was allowed to start fruits, juice, and can have the graduates puffs when he can pick them up with two fingers instead of his entire hand. So we tried pears yesterday that went down pretty good and mess free. Also had apple juice right after lunch...not too happy with the juice selection. Last couple days, he's been getting up on his hands and knees..just rocks back and forth. He gets pretty mad when he goes backwards instead of forwards now...it used to be the other way around. We had a pretty good night last night. Went to bed at 10:30. woke up around 3 b/c he lost his binky but fell right back asleep. woke up at 7:30 to eat and is now sleeping next to me in my bed..I usually give in and let him sleep with me for an hour or so. Just in the mornings. Today, we're trying oatmeal for breakfast! Def. going to be messy! I've also started (and I know its pretty far away), thinking of ideas for his 1st birthday..I want to do something big but on the other hand would just like to do something small with immediate family only.. He's not going to remember it anyways. My big ideas were...Zoo here in Salina, New waterpark in Salina. Small ideas was just a get-together for family and some friends at our house just hanging out and eating dinner! If you have any ideas, please let me know!!!
