Bad Momma!!

Ok, I know I've said it before that we're pretty AP but today Bub informed me that he is sick of being unable to sleep in our bed because of Ladybug being in there (we have a king bed so plenty big but he can't get into a deep sleep because he's worried he'll roll over on her or something) So I had her take her nap in her crib (instead of the swing like normal) and I've put her to bed in her crib and I'm waiting for her to wake in a few like normal and I'll put her to bed in there again and then go to bed myself. When she wakes up to nurse again I'll bring her to bed with me pushing it further and further each day until she's spending the night in her own room (SCARY, I know) I was doing really well with only letting her stay with me until the sun came up until Bub was home all last week and he wanted to go to bed earlier than Ladybug and I normally do so I would fall asleep in our bed with her before she was asleep enough to move!! When I was pregnant and before this was one of my Never Shall I Ever... and then she got here!! I never would have expected to be so terrified of something so completely normal!!! But.........I am...... You can laugh......I do LOL
Alrighty Internet peeps I'm headed to bed
I'll let ya'll know how my re-training of Ladybug goes!! LOL

It's been far too long!!

Sorry it's been so long it's been a hectic couple a weeks!!! Haven't been able to work out so no McFatty Mondays until I'm feeling better. I haven't felt well for a couple of days now, not really sure why or what's going on but I know that I've been napping with Ladybug during the day instead of the usual cleaning/blogging during them :( I'm so exhausted but I'm starting to think it's this gloomy crap-tastic weather we've been having!!! So anyway we have started BLW with the Ladybug her first food was pizza crust LOL But since then she's had steamed green beans, steamed carrots, water (from straws and sippy-cups) and a little ice cream. She's also rolling over consistantly now!! She will go from front to back or back to front but will only roll over once not time after time so if she gets to her belly she just gets mad instead of rolling back over LOL she's definately got her Daddy's patience haha! Tomorrow we have her 5 month pictures when she'll wear her ladybug Gap shirt and a pair of jean shorts and have her bare tootsies showing LOL I'm even gonna paint her toes :-D

One Year

So much has happened over the past year!!!! One year ago this weekend I was due with our Angel Baby that I had miscarried in August '08 (was due 4/11/09). But then: One year ago today I sat in my grandparents' bathroom in Tucson, AZ waiting for the pink lines on a pregnancy test to appear. I wasn't even completely sure that I should have "wasted" the test as expensive as they were but I did and then became ever so happy that I had!!! I called Bub and he didn't answer so I sat waiting for him to call me back (he was out driving OTR and was in fact visiting with my Papa at the time) he finally called me back and I told him I had used one of our stash of tests. He hesitated unsure of how to go about telling me that it would happen eventually and not to worry, when I blurted out that he needed to come home so we could go to the doctor to see how far along we were! LOL I had been tracking my periods for a while by that point but the March one had just seemed off and my April one was still a week away so I assumed my LMP was Feb 12 2009 which would put us at having a Thanksgiving baby. So a week later we went to the pregnancy crisis center and had to take a test. At the time Ladybug was giving my internal organs a run for their money LOL literally I had diarhea so bad that if I peed I pooped too LOL TMI add to that, I was so nervous that the HPT to be a false positive that I was having sooo many problems peeing in that little cup. So finally I did and the lady said we had 4 minutes for it to show up positive well it did in 45 seconds LOL so I really assumed I was 7 weeks along. Then my dad had a scare that we thought was a heart attack and he didn't know yet but Mom did. So the next morning I called and told him (side note I told him I was telling him then since was already in hospital so if he really did have a heart attack they'd be there asap LOL) On 4/24/09 we went and had a ultrasound and told me I was exactly 6 weeks!! Ooops so much for not telling anybody til later on haha. So we had our Christmas baby after moving back acrossed the country (I couldn't have a baby and not have it around Grama and Grampa let alone Aunt's and Uncle!!!) So in the past year I've driven acrossed the country, transferred Jobs, quit 2 jobs, had an ADORABLE baby girl and learned what it means to be a Momma!!

I'm gettin' good at this SAH Momma idea!!!

Last night was rough... I mean R-O-U-G-H!!!! Ladybug has officially outgrown the bassinet and Bub is against completely co-sleeping which means that I, Renee, must let my baby sleep in a room where I am not.... I know :gasp: right no seriously it was a lot harder on me than I would have ever expected!! Probly on Ladybug too as she's used to sleeping with me RIGHT there within arms reach... Every time I'd lay her in her crib she'd wake up so I started trying to use her gloworm to keep her attention off of me but that would only work for the 30 seconds or whatever that the stupid thing works sooo my Momma and I took the Ladybug to Babies "R" Us to no avail they wouldn't order it in to ship to my house and I'm not driving over there if I can buy the same stinking thing at another store and have it tonite!! So long story short I ended up with the Soothe and Glow Seahorse (same idea as the gloworm with 5 minutes of music) the Little Buttons Sweet Scenes Soother (up to 20 minutes of music, glows, and has projector on to the ceiling, and an effing remote-which I have to be in the doorway to use but better than being RIGHT there LOL) and of course a baby monitor... I know what you're thinking "WHAT you didn't already have a baby monitor???" But ya gotta understand I never would have thought I needed it, I mean our house is LITERALLY 732 sq ft... not big enough but I couldn't sleep knowing that the possiblity was there that I wouldn't here my 15 week old baby crying out wanting some of her Momma's nummy milk and getting no answer. Either that or you were thinking "Wow, Lady you really need somethin' better to spend your money on..." which is true I have better things I coulda bought but this was WAY important and if it helps the Ladybug and I sleep it's worth every cent and if Bub says other wise well he knows where my tush is and I'm more than willing to allow his lips to meet it LOL

Anyways so bought all the goodies came home and set 'em all up and then CLEANED. I know, I know I say that all the time... No seriously Bub and my's room is CLEAN, the bathroom is CLEAN, Ladybug's bedroom is CLEAN, all that's left is living room (a few dirty dishes and such) and the kitchen so can both be done tomorrow or I won't have ANYTHING to do all day LOL I love it and I'm so much happier than I was when I was working!!! And I can do whatever whenever which helps me help all my loved ones when they need me which in turn makes me even happier it's like the opposite of a catch-22 what ever that would be LOL

Oh Ladybug's fussy GTG Later

Weekly photos to get ya'll caught up on Ladybugs Growth--AGAIN!!

Whoops just realized I'm a little behind LOL so here they are!!!

13 Weeks

14 Weeks

15 Weeks

I'm Trying!!!

So we got the new washer and I've been doing laundry all day (seeing's how easily it all stacks up when you can only do laundry in the cover of darkness) LOL (long story short: our drain for the washer was plugged up with NO way thru so I would put the washer drain line out the window and let it drain onto the ground but couldn't do it during the day;) haha) But last week I did the Carmen Electra Striptease once and I'm really going to try to do it at LEAST every other day this week!!! I'm also trying to get all my cleaning done today so I don't have to do it ALL week again.
One more thing I'm trying to do...figure out what I'm gonna do with Ladybug at night... it's official she's too big to be sleeping in the bassinet and Bub is against co-sleeping (I used to be too until I think about putting my 3 month old in another room where :gasp: she might not be able to let me know she's hungry) I know I just said that as though I'm messing around but I'm being completely serious. It scares the bejesus outta me!!! Bub says "she's not gonna wither away she's got plenty of meat on her bones" but didn't like that I reminded him that he likes to complain when he's hungy even though he's got more meat on his bones than Lexy or I will ever have!!! I just don't know how people can do it. I've even thought about disassembling her crib and setting it up in our room. Seriously I don't know what to do!!! Right now she sleeps in the bassinet until the sun comes up and then I let her sleep with me... I know I know that's horrible for her... but she likes it and I like being allowed to sleep past 6 in the morning! Please if you have any suggestions lemme know!!!

LONG Monday

So as if Mondays aren't both too long and too difficult...I went into work 1/2 hour early and stayed 1 and 1/2 late!! Add that to being off all last week and playing assistant director (I'm getting promoted next month when we open a second center and the current one being out with her two-year-old who has mono) and bam you have one tired Momma on your hands!! So when the fam finally got home tonite I had Bub make dinner while I hopped in the shower since Ladybug was still asleep, then supper was complete so did that. Ladybug woke from her peaceful slumber within her car seat so she had a meal then her bath. Sent the hubby to bed while I blog and hold our beautiful little girl!!

Funny additional note I wear my hair in a ponytail EVERYDAY so after my shower I just brushed it out straight to put up after a bit...my Ladybug then woke up and looked at me like I was an alien as I talked to her...It was as if she was saying you sound like my Momma but lady who are you cuz you don't look like her!! LOL

Alright going to watch a lil CSI and eat my oatmeal cookies before bed
Night Ya'll :P

Ladybug's Picture

Isn't that a picture perfect Ladybug???
PS She's sick LOL

Hello To All

Hey to anybody who has accidentally stumbled upon this blog. I'm really just starting this as a way to document all the important happenings as my baby girl grows up. I'm not going to use our real names just some nicknames to help keep our identities safe :D

Ladybug is now 6 and a half weeks old and she was a long struggle to get Bub and I really appreciate her. This week has been especially tough as she caught both RSV and Brochiolitis at the daycare. I'm supposed to go back on Monday but the doc wants us to wait until the middle of the week which kinda puts me in a predicament...we need the money but if Ladybug doesn't heal up all the way I'm gonna miss even more work as she gets sick more and more.

Right now we are having to do a neb treatment every 4 hours at least and she's still having a hard time breathing.  I have her sitting in the stroller beside me right now so the pups will stay outta her face since they often love her too much to let her sleep on their own levels LOL

Mmmmkay so I guess I should tell ya that I'm a 23 year old who has been married to Bub for three years and dated him for three before that...yep high school sweethearts. I'm an old fashioned lady who would rather stay at home and home school our babies than send 'em off to have someone else raise 'em. I truly love children (they don't even have to be mine) and I don't understand why people would decide to have children and WANT to send them somewhere else for 9-12 hours a day (no offense just my personal opinion)

I'm probly gonna gross ya'll out sometimes and whatever but I like to say what's on my mind (hence the reason this is literally a stream of conscience and will prolly offend at least a few people)

Yesterday I got my IUD I'm a little concerned since we had to try for 2 years to get the Ladybug but that was with the shot which says in all the information that it can take 12-18 months to be outta your system. I have decided I want the babes to be less than two years apart so this winter we'll prolly start trying for #2 :D I know what you're thinking... Lady you just had a baby ripped outta your abdomen 6 weeks ago and you're already thinking when you're gonna do it again??? But yeah I don't want Ladybug to be an only child and I don't want a big age gap between 'em so I have to think of these things...

Alright for now I'm gonna let ya'll go so that I can clean the house a touch before the Ladybug wakes and needs a treatment and a little Boob (ps I'm still nursing her) Later Ya'll
