Conversation With a 10 month old

Me: "Cash stop pounding on the tv"

Cash: Looks at me and sticks his tongue out

Me: "Cash NO!"

Cash: Starts blowing bubbles at me

Me: "Cash if you don't stop I'm going to come over there, stop!"

Me: "Cash NO!"

Cash: Turns and smiles at me while sticking out his tongue

Me: "CASH!"
I am now walking over to Cash, grab his hands and smack them telling him NO! 

Cash: Smiles and starts laughing at me and proceeds to want to stand at the tv again and start pounding. 

After me telling him NO one more time, he decides to just walk back and forth along the tv and doesn't pound at all. He did end up changing the channel but that was an easy fix!

I swear there is no end in sight! haha He thinks I am funny and just wants to laugh at me! I guess I will take that as a good sign! He loves me!

10 Months Old!


Cash is 10 months old today! Boy is time flying. He is doing a lot on his own now, but still wants the aid of his mom and dad. He is starting to sleep all the way through the night and stand on his own (even though it's only for a little bit). He also has seven teeth with another on the way! But we are so in love with this little boy and can't believe in a couple months he is going to be a year old! 
Happy 10 months bug!!

10 more weeks to go!

So as of today I am 29 weeks and since my doctor is taking Colt a week early - I only have 10 more weeks to go!!! Can I tell you HOW FREAKIN EXCITED I AM!!! This has been a completely different pregnancy than I had with Cash and this baby better be a good boy like his brother, because this pregnancy has been a handful!! haha

I am so blessed to get two little boys, but I'm ready for my body to come back. I told Jeff yesterday that I'm going to hit my goal weight whether it kills me or not. So pretty much I'm going to have to lose around 80 pounds, but still - I'm going to fit back into my jeans I wore when we first started dating!!

And did I mention a nice drink spiked with alcohol sounds nice about now too! hehe

Me (Virgo), Jeff (Aires)

On paper it doesn't look like Virgo and Aires match at all. I have a lot of Aires in my life and have always butted heads with them, but in the end they are some of the best people I have in my life. I looked this up and found out exactly why Jeff and I work so well together!


Virgo & Aries: 
This brainy Fire-Earth pairing is complementary--each fills in what the other lacks. This relationship is excellent for working together, but you’ll need to understand each other’s differences to make your romance sizzle. Both of you are idea-oriented and can build on each other’s originality. But while Aries is impulsive, Virgo analyzes everything before jumping in.
So Aries can help Virgo with risk-taking and initiating projects, and Virgo can assist Aries in evaluating a plan before taking action. Inside the bedroom, Virgo inspires sensuality in Aries, while Aries can fire up Virgo’s physicality. With a little compromise, this pairing will be sure to percolate.

Two Down, One to Go!

So today is the start of my third trimester. It's crazy to think that our newest little man will be here in 3 months. Jeff is over the moon excited and I'm scared, excited, happy, anxious, etc... all at once.

Back in February when I found out that I was pregnant again, I'm not going to lie - I flipped out! I took three pregnancy tests to confirm it, then downed the rest of my wine that I had in my fridge. Needless to say I was not ready and I didn't even know what to think. I honestly thought Jeff was going to flip out when I told him and I waited until he got home before telling him. I had a hard time talking to people on the phone because I was in a state of shock. When Jeff got home, I dropped the bomb on him and needless to say, he reacted a whole lot better than I did.

For the first couple of months we were both in a state of shock and had a scare at the first of April. Luckily little man wanted to hang on and prove that he is a fighter! So now that I only have three months to go, everything is becoming more real.

I still have a lot to do, but I feel grateful that I have such good people in my life to keep me in check. Jeff is so supportive and tells me I'm being stupid - especially when I'm being really stupid! I love him so much and he is the best dad ever. I just wish I had two of me to take care of everything that's going to need to be done.

Anyways, I'll shut up now, but never in a million years would I have thought to have a child (because frankly we didn't think we could have kids) and now we will have two beautiful boys in two years!

Yeah for unexpected miracles!!

"You Can't Get More Perfect Than That!"

So on Tuesday, August 3, I took Cash to his 9 month appointment. I was excited about this appointment because HE DIDN'T HAVE TO GET SHOTS! haha Cash does not handle shots very well and seems to not feel good for a couple of days after he gets them, so I was just grateful to talk to his doctor and see how well he is doing. I was also excited to see how much he weighed and how tall he is getting. Jeff and I are almost shocked at how well he is growing, but he is becoming such a big boy it's not a surprise.

We got some very good news and found out that Cash has moved up from the 47% to the 60% in weight and is now weighing in at 21.23 pounds. His height went from 48% to 64%! He is measuring 28.75 inches long! He is starting to catch two of his best friends who are about an inch or two above him and they are 7 and 8 months older! Needless to say I think by the time he is one he'll be almost there! haha

You're probably thinking - why in the world am I excited about this progress? Well, if you taken in to consideration where Cash came from when he was a baby you'd understand. In weight he was at 4% and in height he was at 3%. Now he is above the mark on both categories. Plus the doctor said his head looks perfect. He pretty much said, "you can't get more perfect than that, I'm really impressed".

With another baby on the way, I'm just excited to see the changes in Cash and can't believe what he does day in and day out. He now has 6 teeth (4 top, 2 bottom) and talks and talks! He loves, loves food and eats EVERYTHING we give him. There isn't anything we don't hesitate to feed him because he seems to like everything. haha

Well, I'm sure I'll post more about this happy little boy, but until now I'm heading out for the night!

Loves to all (who actually read this! haha)
