about 10 months ago…

was the last time I had a glass of wine.  So last night after Jaxson went to sleep, I enjoyed a glass of wine.  Except it was not that enjoyable.  It was a sweet white and I really prefer red but figured i would have white since the bottle had been chilling in the fridge for a while.   Anyway, [...]

We made it.

Jaxson and I made it thru this weekend without any flaws.  Whew!  We spent a lot of the weekend at Kyle and Bethany’s house.  They kept offering to make me food and since I love food, I basically ate all my meals over there.  Thanks guys
We are about to leave to pick up Jeremy [...]

I think we’re alone now…

Today we have to drop Jeremy off at the airport so that he can fly to Wisconsin for Paul’s wedding (his friend from high school).  We are sad that daddy has to leave us but he is in the wedding and needs to be there.  I bought a plane ticket to go to Wisconsin alsojust in case Jaxson [...]

Day 1 alone

Today Jeremy went back to work and I was on my own with Jaxson.  Things were rough.  He did not want to nap all day until 230 and all he wanted to do was eat and cry.  Poor baby!  When he finally fell asleep, he crashed.  He slept until 6.  Hopefully this will not effect [...]

Five dollar

Okay so I have had that stupid Subway song in my head all week.  I can’t stop singing it.  “five dollar–five dollar foot looonnng”.  Just when I get it out of my head, I turn on the TV, the commerical comes on and the song is once again in my head.  ALL WEEK!!! 
Whoever wrote that song is [...]

Happy 2 week birthday!

I can’t believe that Jaxson is 2 weeks old already.  He is growing so much and I want him to stay tiny forever.  He has been sleeping so well and eating alot lately, he is clearly going thru a growth spurt.  He smiles all the time in his sleep and I have yet to catch [...]

Happy Mother’s Day!

Happy mother’s day to all the wonderful mom’s out there.  but i really want to wish my mom a very happy mother’s day!  My mom is my best friend and I am so grateful for all the things she does for me.  I only wish we lived closer.  She was here for the past week, [...]

Settling in

We are trying to adjust to being home with an extra person around.  Jaxson is amazing though–he sleeps about 7 hours a night (which makes mommy and daddy so happy).  He eats all the time so basically he is attached to me for most of the day.  The rest of the time is spent sleeping [...]

Baby pool

I figured out the winner for the baby pool.  Congrats to my college friend Crystal.  She took first place with the least amount of points.  Honerable mentions go to Andrea and Kylie Marie.  I bet you are wondering what you won.  Well nothing really, except you get the joy of knowing that you won and i will [...]
