My new meitai carrier will be here this afternoon!! And our solarveil ring sling either tomorrow or Friday!!! I'm so stoked (yes I just said STOKED!!!) I know it's middle of March in Iowa and we're already starting the flooding crap so a Solar Veil you ask... well besides being a UV blocker it's also a lighter weight fabric and with the Ladybug already being such a warm body like her Daddy I can't imagine having a moby or any of the others I've read are warm!! I can't wait!!
So I'm really in to AP (attachment parenting) not that I decided to be I read about it and after thinking about it that's just where my beliefs on raising the Ladybug are... granted there are some differences. I don't cloth-diaper (I don't have a washer right now so that's a GOOD thing) I had an epi for labor (and LOVED it LOL) I'm pretty sure if we have a boy he will be circumsized (which isn't actually attachment parenting but a lot of AP'ers are also anti-circumcision) And lastly I'm pretty sure we might be spankers but that will come with time more than likely that will be a "threat" taken care of by Bub so I'll be one of those "just you wait until your dad gets home" type of moms...which is ok with me.

My House=Murder Scene
Ok so not really but it sure looks like it as you walk down the hallway. Both sides have blood splatter all the way up them and you half expect to see someone from CSI standing in the bedroom, but I'm telling you Bub, the Ladybug, the boys and I are all fine... except when the boys were playing the other day Sarge musta gotten Doc's ear just a little to hard and (here's where my research comes in) since dog's ears are vascular they BLEED!!! To make matters worse once a perfect little scab covers the problem he shakes his head flinging said scab and blood all over my house. I've tried just telling him not to shake his head but it seems to me that is like saying don't itch when talking about head lice or something... IMPOSSIBLE!!! So I've tried multiple times to clean the blood off my hallway walls to no avail :( I am outta ideas here people so I did what any sane 23 year old woman does... I googled that shit. Some lady says her dogs tail bleeds all the time and swears by the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser so when the hubs and I go to town, I'm just gonna haveta pick me up some and we'll see. Until then the poor Docburt is in his newly acquired kennel (he's trained to be out but I'm so damn sick of the blood I paid $50 for one!!) and Sarge is sad because his brother and bestie isn't able to play :(
On a good note my car now has airbags and seat belts YAY And Bub made it home last nite... not that I've seen him AT ALL. When we got home last night it was after midnite so we went straight to bed and when I got up this morning and was walkin' around gettin' the Ladybug dressed I realized I heard Justin in the living room so I gave Bub a good ration of shit seeing's how I was walking around in a tanktop and chonies!! O well I'm sure Justin's seen a lot better lookin' than me and that includes while I'm nursin' the Ladybug and Bub threatens to gouge his eyes out if he looks at my boobs (this always makes me laugh but also makes me feel good that Bub doesn't want anyone else to see my body... I think that's a good thing LOL)
O well g2g Ladybug is wakin' up from her nap :o)

More Braggin' and a little downside :)
So have I told ya yet that I totally love being a SAHM? Oh I have??? LOL Well today's reason for the obvious....I put the baby to sleep and showered when I got out (and the "white noise" stopped) she woke up for a little snack so I fed her and put her in her swing to play while I did my hair... did you hear me I straightened my own hair!!!! Ok so it's not as good as when Michelle did it but it's also not a big frizzy mess so I'll take it LOL
So whatta ya think? I also have cinnamon rolls in the oven for the Ladybug and I (ok so just for me since she can't actually eat them yet :o) haha) Wowza I love my life.....
Except for this one thing I have to talk to my sister (Tate) about stealing. She had my diamond ring this morning and Mom found it so I get to play like I don't know Mom has it because she doesn't know Mom just swiped it back luckily because then Tate was all freaking out that she had lost her ring and she wanted to wear it to school. So I'm really glad Mom found it first but I'm not excited to have to have this talk with my 2nd outta 2 sisters. Not exactly sure how my parents changed over the years where they have both thought it's ok....I remember when I was little, like 3 or 4, and I took some of the flower heads that pop off the silk flowers, my reason being there was no tag. When we got out to the car Mom noticed and made me take them back in and apoligize for stealing. I don't remember ever stealing anything afterwards, but I dunno frustrates me a little that they both have thought it's ok to do. But then again like Bub said.... Not our kids we just have to make sure that the Ladybug and her siblings all understand that it's not ok...Which I think I'm gonna use against Tate. The whole I don't know if I want Ladybug around you if you're going to be doing bad things like this, hopefully that will cure her of this.
Anyways gonna go eat my cinnamon rolls TTYL

11 weeks
Just a little smile from the ladybug... these are her 11 week pictures :o) Thanks Mom
I'll add all her other weeks pics in a minute so you can see how she's grown!!
OMG It's been FOREVER!!!
Kay so I'm totally sorry that it's been so long since I updated!! Lots has happened since I last wrote you!! I'm now officially a SAHM!! YAY!!! Bub gotta new job in which he makes more now than both of us were!! Add to that the fact that my childcare rates were increasing on the 1st of the month makes it so my bring home after gas to work and daycare was $75.00 a week...seriously... less than a dollar an effin' hour so I made my friend mad at me because I just up and quit. Didn't give a two week notice like a good human being. But the thought of going back after all that's happened (that's a story for another day) I would cry every night trying to get the Ladybug ready for bed and all her stuff gathered to make our mornings go a little smoother. So this week has been a major learning process. I've had to re-create a schedule for the Ladybug and I which messes up the poochies schedule too. We've had to learn to get by with Daddy being gone all week which doesn't really concern Ladybug yet since she's still pretty Momma oriented (being breastfed will do that to a kid lol). I'm learning how to not spend 10 hours a day on facebook with a child hooked to my boob so with all this I've gotten on eBay and am getting a Mei Tai and a pouch sling so that the Ladybug and I can get some major housecleaning done. I want to have the house sparkling by the time Bub gets home so he can see that we've made the right choice in me being home and that way our house can be clean to invite some fam or friends over without 'em being embarrassed by our pig sty!!
I let my mom take Ladybug the other day while I ran to Target to get my new spring wardrobe. Was pretty interesting considering I felt as though I'd left my newborn (even though she's not "technically" a newborn anymore) in the car. And Ladybug got to go see her Great Nana :o)
That's something else the Ladybug is nearly 3 months old!!!!! OMG she's been here for nearly a quarter of a year!!! Life is so strange I remember all the bad things from her labor still but they are pushed way back and Jordon nearly had me convinced to start trying for #2 already!!! Eeekk! But rest assured it won't happen for a while... I want to start trying around Ladybug's 1st birthday so then I'll have 2 under 2 which is still scary, but not as bad as 2 under 1!!!! I want the Ladybug and her brother or sister to be best friends since they really won't have any school mates besides each other and any homeschool groups we join.
So right now the Ladybug is napping we had a busy morning of Wal-mart. We got groceries and the stuff that Bub has decided he needs next week to make it all go a little smoother. The boys are laying in their normal respective spots... Doc on the couch with Ladybug on the floor in front of him and for some reason Sarge has taken to laying in the back hall not really sure but hey he's being good so I won't dis him mmmkay?
All right I'm gonna go work on the said pig sty while all my "children" sleep LOL
