Our Journey to December
Thought that was appropriate. SO.....how was your weekend??? Mine was awesome. Took 4 tests...all BFP! The ones yesterday were really dark so that's a good sign. No BB pain yet. Should I be worried? I have cramping on and off. Yesterday, no cramps until afternoon....could be because I mowed the grass and ran the vacuum. DH pulled the mower cord for me so all I did was walk behind it. Exercise right? He was busy putting breaks on my car so I didnt want to bother him with it.
Haven't told anyone except my sister. Waiting until Mother's Day to tell my mom. I still am very worried and in disbelief.
How about you? Any news? I know you have your appt. on Thursday. You will have to tell me how it goes. I know you will see a healthy little bean in there! I just have a good feeling about all of this. There is a reason we met.

I am sooooo excited for you!!! Maybe it will be a little boy for Cain even though I know that little girl melts his heart. So no job searching for you...haha. Jason and I havent even had sex yet and you are already pregnant...LOL. I guess I am a little behind. How is everything going. I guess you are a little fertile mertle. Are you still breastfeeding? I know you can do both successfully. I know some women nurse both of their babies..one toddler and one newborn. I know its possible just not sure if I would want to do it. I finally quit for good a couple of days ago. I was only nursing morning and night and he pretty much weened himself from those feedings. It was easier for him to eat from a bottle i guess. He was never a very good breastfeeder....he took over an hour to eat sometimes.
I started cereal last month and just started stage 1 foods this week. He loves his oatmeal. He gets so excited when I set him in his highchair and bring the bowl over. I only gave him prunes so far besides the cereal and his sour face is adorable. The doctor is hoping the foods will help lower his formula intake. He was eating 45 ounces a day...little piggy.
He is how 17.5 lbs. and 26 inches long. He grows out of clothes so fast. I wish he could wear cute dresses....I think I need a girl next. We are not planning on another one for a while. I need to get back to work sometime in the fall and work for a little while. Jason is tired of paying all of the bills by himself.
So...February baby. Valentines Day maybe??? I am so excited for you. My sister had her twins and Jack 15 months apart and they all play together so well. It will be nice to have them so close. I wish we could afford it but it is just not even possible. Too many bills. I want so badly to be a stay at home mom but I just cannot let my job go. Once my kids are in school I have the perfect job as a teacher. We will have the same schedule.
What are your plans? You going to stay at home now for good. I certainly would if I were you! I know it has been a while since I wrote...Jake keeps me busy which I am sure you know. I am going to pray you do not get bad morning sickness this time and your pregnancy is uneventful. Hope to hear from you soon.

BTW meant Olivia is 26-28 inches...she was 26 at last doc appt at 4 months so I figure she's grown some!
HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!
HaHa! I try to clean when she's sleeping too, it's the only time I get to myself lol!! Cain doesn't clean, but to be fair he is working on his days off :( Lucky you, but Olivia is a happy medium usually, she'll want to be held for a while and then she'll want to play by herself too. I hate laundry lol!! I put Olivia in the basket of clothes and just let her play lol!! I try to keep things together but it doesn't happen lol!
Glad you are over PPD, I never really had any. I keep up with you on facebook too, Little Jack is just too cute! Really spoiled!
I dread weaning, jut not ready for it yet though. I really enjoy our time together and it gets me out of a lot of things...honey can you go get me something to drink I'm feeding the baby lol
Yeah, Olivia is in the 95th percentile with her height although she is only about 24 inches or so.
No, don't worry Olivia hates tummy time too and has just learned to roll...she'd really rather stand up lol! Olivia started holding herself up at about 4 months but all baby's have different time tables!
Well girl hope to hear from you soon...when are yall gonna start on the next? We're not trying not preventing so could be soon with us!

Cleaning...what's that? No seriously I try to clean while he is napping which is working. Jason and I do it on the weekends so he is not a pain for either of us. Jake just sits in his swing and watches us. He loves the vacuum. Jake is the opposite of Olivia, he really prefers to be left alone rather than held. He just plays with his toys and lays there. I am able to get laundry done while he naps which helps. I keep everything in its place during the day so cleaning is a little easier.
I am enjoying being a parents but I think I went through PPD for a little while there. I was very angry and sad for a while there but I am starting to deal with things a little bit better. Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner but last month had its ups and downs. I do see the new pics on Facebook which I love. Olivia is quite the sweetheart. So she is spoiled huh?
I started weaning last month. I have been eliminating one feeding every week and that has been working well. He eats 6 times a day and I nurse for 2 of them now. The morning and night feeding. He likes his formula and it doesn't seems to make him gassy so that's a plus. I haven't introduced cereal yet. I am going to ask the doctor on Monday for his 4 month checkup.
He is about 14 lbs and about 26 inches long. I cannot find pants that are long enough to fit him unless they are 9 months and then they fall off of his little bum.
Should I start worrying yet....Jake is not even remotely ready to roll over. He still hates tummy time and cannot even prop himself up on his hands. He just picks his head up and works his arms like he is doing the breaststroke. When did Olivia start to hold herself up on her elbows? I am unsure if I should be concerned.
Other than that....just getting ready for the warm weather to come so I can get this little man out for some fresh air. Must be nice to live in GA.

Sorry about your dog! You miss spending time with Jason? Sorry he works so much :-(. Cain picks up a little extra work here and there to help out since my unemployment is about to run out...hope I can reapply!!
Yikes, hate that LO is sick, Olivia has allergies so she stays congested :-( but so far really lucky so far with that!! I'm glad you stuck with breastfeeding...do you still hate it?? I love it still, but I have Olivia on rice cereal so she has cut down on feeding...have you got your cycles back yet? I haven't and was just wondering if you were in the same boat. Gonna sound crazy but I want another baby lol!! Dont know if it'll happen anytime soon though!
I would try a gentle formula first and mix it with breastmilk, not water! Glad that breatfeeding is going faster, Olivia has been a 5-10 minute feeder since birth so I can't really relate...don't hate, I know I'm lucky lol!!
I hate that for you, I really don't want to go back to work, NO ONE can take care of my baby as well as I can...she's spoiled rotten lol!! I get seperation anxiety just thinking about it lol!! So, what's new in your corner? still thinking of having another one? I hope parenting is as fun for you as it is for me! Quick Question, how do you find time for cleaning? Olivia wont let me put her down lol!! SPOILED

Sorry it has been so long. Interesting month. Dog got oporated on this month for a tear in her knee. The rehab is pretty time consuming and with Jake it can get pretty hectic everyday just trying to survive. Jason still works two jobs one for the gov. and one at a tax office preparing taxes for people so he leaves at 4:30 am and doesnt get home til about 9 pm. Long day for both of us.
Jake is doing well other than being sick for the first time. I can't figure out if it is allergies or a cold. He has red watery eyes and a cough that sounds very raspy. Poor thing. He vomited for the first time too this month,...gross!! It was all over me, him, hair, clothes, everywhere! Did it again this morning but I managed not to get hit. I cant figure it out either. I only feed him from one breast in the am since my supply is too much for him. I pump the other one out. He sometimes takes both breasts just depends. But this morning I did my basic 15 minute feed and he just got rid of it about 30 minutes later. I am going to attribute it to being sick with the cough. He is eating less too since he is sick so I am pumping a lot trying to keep my supply up for when he feels himself again.
How are things with you? Olivia is so precious. I love looking at her pics on facebook. I need to get some new ones up. She is taking a bottle? That's good. Jake takes one but he eats too fast and gives himself a gassy tummy ache. I bought new bottles that I hope will work. They have a nipple that is exactly like the breast. Nothing comes out of it unless the clamp down like on the breast. They are quite interesting. They are called Breastflow...worth a try I guess. Got them at walmart if you are interested.
I am starting to try to find a formula that I can use to supplament so I can start the weaning in a month or two. I can't pump at work so I dont really have a choice. Finally got Jake off of the breast shield so feedings are a lot faster...Thank God. Growing like a weed but only in length. 24 inches long and 12.5 lbs. Skinny and tall. He better start gaining soon! Doc isnt worried though. He said it was because of his diarrhea he had for 2 weeks.
Other than that...same old same old. I have to start interviewing nannies this week. BOOO! I don't want to leave him with anyone but Jason said I have to go back to work or win the lottery...those are my choices.
