Bedtime Laughter

Notes from Christmas

Boy, it was hard to be away from family tonight! The morning was great. We ate a big breakfast and stayed in our pj's for a long time. Eventually, we made our way over to the tree and opened presents. As soon as the sun started to set, a huge cloud came over my head and I got really blue. I was thinking about how nice it would be to be relaxing with family, maybe watching a movie everyone relaxed after a nice Christmas dinner.
I found out something new about Jeremy yesterday. I found out that he truly loves Christmas time.......I always thought he was being sarcastic when he said that he loves Christmas but I was wrong! We both wanted to share Ethan's first Christmas with everyone but financially and logistically it was impossible. We love everyone very much and hope to spend next Christmas with all of our loved ones.

Pictures from the Week of Dec13th

Ahhhh...

I am on Christmas break now and it feels great :). I am having these overwhelming feelings of panic because the house is nasty and my to-do list is longer than the Great Wall of China. Like the wall, I bet it can be seen from space. BUT, I am getting better at remembering not to freak out about little things because what makes me happiest is being a good mom to Ethan, not folding laundry and picking up the never ending clutter.

Ethan is going through this awful fussy phase! I think he is getting to the age where he realizes that when he fusses, someone comes. He does this fake cough thing and today it was getting on my nerves! He will fake cough until I scoop him up and then look at me and laugh when he tricks me! His sleep has been.......interrupted.......to say the least. His norm is to have a bath at 6, play/read some books, have his evening bottle, and then go down for the night around 7:30. He usually wakes up once around 2 but it isn't uncommon for him to sleep the entire night through. LATELY, he has been so unpredictable and fussy! Last night he woke up at 1, 2, 4:30, 6:30 and then napped from 9 to 11.......I like routines and this is unacceptable! :)

Ethan is starting to eat solids at daycare! He starts with oatmeal first. I'm not sure why this has me all flustered. It is sad to me to think of him without bottles.

Got my hair did! She did a really good job. I really like the warmer color and edgy cut. It is nothing too drastic but just enough to freshen up the look and boost my sexy-ness!

Ethan has had two massive, earth shattering poops today. I think the fiber from the oatmeal is cleaning him out! He is always so sweet after he poops though, so I don't mind.

Zoey, that bitch! I took her for a car ride today and when we got home she bolted and harassed our neighbors and their two wiener dogs. Our neighbor thought that Zoey was vicious and hit her and then she ran to the back field. I got in my car and drove to the field, opened my car door and she jumped right in! And the bitch had the nerve to lick me in my face! I couldn't help but laugh because she was having so much fun. It bothers me that she didn't listen to me when I called her the first time, but I'm so glad she didn't totally run away.

Ethan is almost sitting up on his own! He can balance for a few seconds but then he topples over. He is very determined.

My computer is in the shop so there won't be any pictures or videos for a little bit. Don't worry though, I will for sure make some Christmas videos!

Wowza!

I don't know what is going on with Ethan but he has been awake and cranky for the past three nights! I am starting to lose my grip on reality because of loss of sleep! A student asked me if I was ok because I kept forgetting what I was saying halfway through my sentences. I told him when he gets married and has a baby then he will understand.

Jeremy is so awesome, super helpful and we have taken turns getting and staying up with him but I can't sleep when Ethan is crying or fussing.

Dad and Patty are here!!!!! We are having so much fun. Ethan loves his Pepere and the dogs are loving the extra attention. They came just in time too because Zoey has been one half of a step behind me and constantly reminding me that she wants a walk.

I hope you like the videos, I know I do!

Ethan is crying..........ok just got him back down......

Well I hope it is not going to be another night of hourly alarms.....but if it is, it will be ok because this too shall pass......he must be teething or growing or something! Who knows.....

By the way, we have gotten gifts in the mail from Gram and Gramp Lapointe, Norm and Cheryl and Libby! Thanks everyone :). Ethan is soooooooo lucky!

Oh my goodness, I am so tired. I have to take advantage of this time. Who knows, Ethan might be awake in 10 minutes!

Fun with Ethan 3

Fun with Ethan 1

This is nap time??

Baby BBQ

So Sorry

I'm in a pissy mood. I don't have any clothes except one pair of not so trendy mom jeans. I don't have any shoes. I'm fat and my knee hurts like hell when I try to workout (that goes back to the shoes thing, no tennis shoes). My roots are two inches long and speckled with hideous course gray hairs. My hair straightener broke so I've has frizzy ponytails for a week. My toes are so bad. There is more nail showing than polish. Zoey just farted right next to me and I can taste it. My eyebrows need to be trimmed with hedge clippers. I'm breaking out like a fourteen year old boy. I think that is it for right now. Just let me feel sorry for myself right now. I'll get over it.

A Few Things

Ethan is growing this light brown peach fuzz on his head and it is so adorable.

We spent the whole day today at home. I had such a good time playing, nursing, napping, and laughing all day long.

He is doing really well on solids. He gets some rice cereal most nights around 5:30. He keeps opening his mouth, so it can't be that bad!

Got to go watch a movie with my awesome husband!

Shopping

Just cause people keep asking us!...............

Ethan needs:
Clothes! (9 month size, when in doubt, go bigger) (onsies, pants, jackets, hats, tshirts, socks, the basics!, PJ's.......super needs PJ's....)
Blankets
Swaddle Clothes
Clothes
Books (he loves his bedtime stories and I love reading to him :)
Toys
Bath Towels
Burp Clothes
Clothes
Target, Walmart, Kohls, Old Navy (great baby clothes), Children's Place, JCPenney gift cards.

Hope everyone wanted some pics of Ethan and our family cause that is what you are getting!

I wish we could get the dogs in a picture with us. That would be so difficult but soooooo sweet because Ethan loves the dogs too. He stares at Zoey and thinks she is funny and he wonders why Parker is scared of him. I wonder that too. Parker is weird but I love him. Wanna know where he is right now? He's sleeping in my closet on a pile of clean clothes.

I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE MY DAD!!!!!!!!!!! HE COMES MONDAY!!!!!!! I CAN'T WAIT TO SHOW OFF ETHAN!!!!!!

Goodnight, my bed is calling my name but before I go do that, I have to check on Ethan and kiss him one more time.

First Solids - Rice Cereal

Love Him!

Conversing With Ethan

Christmas Alert

Alert! Ethan is growing very quickly and will need BIGGER than 6-9 month clothes! Yea, I said it.....he's growing so fast! I don't want anyone to waste their money by getting him something that he will only wear once. :)

Always Smiling

First Family Thanksgiving

Laughing Baby

Thanksgiving 2010

Sunday Night

Last night, Ethan threw up 3 times in an hour and I wanted to die! It was sooooo sad and the on call nurse told us that we would have to bring him to the ER if he threw up the pedialyte that she prescribed. Luckily, he kept it down and fell fast asleep. He was fine all day today so that is a very good sign! Jeremy and I were so worried and scared.

Two day week thank Jesus. I don't even really have to do anything these two days either.

We have to get this nap schedule worked out because he gets so cranky when he doesn't get a nap and I hate it because I want him to be refreshed and happy during the time we have together. We slept for an hour and forty five minutes today which surprised me (in a very good way).

I'm so happy for Erin and Eric! They finally found a home in the country. They have been looking for sooooo long and they deserve a nice place to live. If I were rich, I would buy Erin a top of the line car so she would never have to worry about her car dying again! I hate it when the gods are against her but I know things will get MUCH better now that they are settled in the new home.

Goodnight.

About Time

Yea yea yea, I know it has been a while since I posted. Busy, that's all I have to say.

Ethan is getting sooooo interactive nowadays! He will need/want some interactive toys for Christmas. I was thinking like anything that is meant to keep him busy for a while. He is getting bored of the ugly lamb that we bought him a month ago (and quite frankly, I am too!). He likes things that wiggle, light up, jiggle, jingle, rattle, spin, whirl, etc! Lately, he has been loving his bouncer and the toy bar attached. Loves the $19 bouncer........money doesn't matter to him!

I am wiped out lately. No sleep is ever enough. I rarely feel refreshed when I wake up. My first thoughts of the day are either 'snooze' or 'when can I take a nap, if at all?'. Is that normal?

I haven't had a cigarette in over a year. Neato. I guess I just needed a reason to quit. Lung cancer and wasting money apparently isn't enough of a reason. I am sticking to my story about being a social smoker. I don't think I will start again although I EASILY could. Mmmmm.....so enjoyable. I loved inhaling the smoke from burning paper and plants but I can't explain to Ethan why I started smoking again so I just won't start so I don't have to have that conversation with him. My mom is still happily smoke free!! SO proud of her.

Upcoming yay's:

Ethan starts his new daycare on Monday
Two day week for me next week
First family Thanksgiving! Got to get the dogs some turkey wet food.
MY DAD COMES! He is going to love Ethan.
Christmas break! Lots of Ethan and Mommy time!

Ok I'm done pumping now so I'm going to get off this addictive piece of technology and ditch it for another, more primitive one (the TV).

Later gators.

11/10/2010

It is so hard to get everything done. I am usually overwhelmed by the amount of tasks that need to get done. Whenever I feel satisfied or caught up, the stress and worry aren't usually far behind. I can't seem to find the balance between enjoying life and completing mindless tasks like cleaning, organizing, working, planning for work, laundry, etc. Got to find a balance because stressing is not the working out! Jeremy is very helpful, don't get me wrong, but I like things to be perfect and there isn't enough time in the day to get things the way I like them.

The built in hard drive on the handycam is full and I haven't had time to go through and delete the videos that I have backed up. I'll do it eventually. Ugh. Until then, you will have to read my depressing posts! Have fun with that!

Ethan is so cute. He is smiling all the time now which is very nice :). I love knowing that he is happy! He keeps exploding through diapers at daycare......he has everyday this week......I bought the next size up of diapers thinking that maybe that was the problem but he still exploded today! I'm wondering if the are waiting too long to change him.....he rarely does that here......hmmmm.....glad we are switching daycares!

Headache for the past week.......off an on.......sucks. Must get off this computer and close my eyes.

Night!

Random Thoughts

I'm tired and sick so bear with me on this post.

-Cheryl was right when she said that I said everything was 'fine' with Ethan's current daycare. Everything was 'fine' but not 'good' and not even close to 'great'. There were things that bothered me so I thought that we could find something better. I REALLY wanted to get him in a daycare that had the kiddie cams, where I can log on and see Ethan's room while I'm at work, but we didn't find one that was that great. We decided on a Christian based center that is run by a really nice and involved lady. She takes great pride in her center and knows everything about each kids and their parents. She started the center 17 years ago when she couldn't find a place where she would send her own children. We aren't really religious people but worse things have happened than Ethan hearing a bible story or two. I'll let you know how it goes.

-Even though I'm not around, I miss Libby and Nick living in Maine. That doesn't make any sense but it's how I feel! Libby had an interview last week and will find out soon if she got the job. I'm happy for them. FYI: Libby and her bf Nick moved to upstate NY (around Albany) to work. He has an engineering job and she is looking for lab positions. They are cool.

-We need a digital camera. We have an awesome handycam but it kinda sucks at pictures. Any recommendations on cameras?

-I get to sign up Ethan for health insurance tomorrow! You can bet your ass that I will be one of the first people too! He will be covered starting January 1st if all goes as planned (in Memphis City Schools, nothing goes as planned). Cross your fingers, and toes, and legs......

-10 more pounds and most of my clothes will fit! YESSSS...almost there thank god. I want to lose more weight but I know it takes time.

-Can you believe Ethan is over 4 months old? Whoa dude.

-I am still breastfeeding and although pumping at work is a pain, the benefits are worth it. I have to supplement with formula but he rarely gets more than 6 oz of formula a day.

-I can't imagine him eating solids! We don't even have a high chair yet! He's going to be so cute with veggies all over his face. I want to make his food but I have a lot of research to do before I do that! Must talk to Erin on that one......... :)

-Krisha (my BFF here) is 9 months and 3 weeks pregnant! I'm soooooo excited for her and I hope everything goes super well. She is due on the 17th but has an induction scheduled for the 23rd (I think) if she doesn't go into labor by then. I'm really excited and I want to help her in any way I can! I know from experience that having someone make you lunch is worth way more than any wrapped gift. Gifts are great though. You know what I mean.

-Christmas Lists: What do we want? The usual, I want clothing giftcards: Old Navy, New York and Company, Burlington Coat Factory, American Eagle. Jeremy likes Old Navy, Target, American Eagle, and Walmart. We can ALWAYS use Kroger, Walmart, and Target gift cards! Babies r us giftcards are great too. As for actual stuff we want: Queen size sheets with deep pockets (white, beige, brown, yellow, or whatever), blankets for our bedroom and living room! (we are tired of the ones we have now because Parker put holes in them when he was a puppy!), aveeno lotion, anti aging face lotion, socks for Jeremy, funky/chunky earrings/necklaces/bracelets. I'll list more if I can think of more. I want stuff like my hair highlighted and cut, pedicures, facials, and other things that I feel bad spending our money on. The 'extras' like getting my eyebrows waxed...things like that. We really want practical, useful gifts (and yes, pedicures are practical and useful).

-Holy shit I'm tired and coughing up a storm. Goodnight and leave me some comments dammit.

New Move

After TONS of thought, we have decided to switch Ethan's daycare.

Father & Son

I found this video while I was searching around. Ethan is 4 days old here. So sweet, I'm glad I found this........sleepy and proud father.

Day Before I Met Ethan

I found this video when I was organizing files yesterday. I was trying to get the automatic settings to work on the camera. Ethan was born less than 24 hours after this video was taken and my water broke about 12 hours later! Who would have known?

A Visit!

I am so happy that my Dad and Patty are coming! They just booked their tickets this week and will be here the second week in December! I have told Ethan all about his Pepere so Ethan is very excited to meet him.

Mommy and Ethan

Daddy and Ethan

Pj Day

Weekend!

Oh my gosh, what a long week! Can't wait to spend the whooooooole weekend with Ethan, Jeremy, and the pups. Bath time! Got to run.

Daddy Daycare

Jeremy got to spent time with Ethan today and I was sooooooooooooooooooooo envious. He brought him to daycare for an hour so he could get the order done at work. I was mad because I had got Ethan this SUPER cute hooded sweatshirt and I was waiting for the right time to debut the new threads (you know, with the perfect pants, onesie, socks and hat) but Jeremy dressed him in it today! AND, the one of the daycare ladies said "Monica, come here! Isn't he the cutest baby you've ever seen?" AND THEN, Jeremy said "that's what happens when daddy dresses him". (Insert eye roll.......). But seriously, what is cuter than a man and a baby? Wish I could have been there :(.

Friggin work........Jeremy is right though, people are people and do the same things no matter where you go. Every workplace has a troublemaker, a suck-up, a dead beat, etc. Most of the people at my work are nice but it seems that most people have trouble accepting direction and authority (which is strange since we are always yelling at our students do respect authority). I am certainly an offender though. I have the hardest time following/listening to directions and doing anything that is not on my own agenda. I have a hard time dealing with change, especially last minute changes that could have been avoided.

I heard an announcement this morning that said drumline tryouts were tomorrow and I thought "wait a minute, I'm the band teacher.......I'm not having drumline tryouts.......and what equipment are they planning on destroying?" Turns out that they were planning on using my equipment in my room! Funny, because this person turned it around to make it seem like I was being difficult.......believe me, my reaction was far from my usual display of difficult!

I shouldn't even care and I should be asleep.

Goodnight!

Amendment

Let me explain what I mean by broke......we are able to pay all of our bills and provide for Ethan but we have been dealt a serious setback. By broke, I mean that we are not saving or getting ahead like we should be.

Wait for it......

At the 2:20 mark he passes baby gas........

Excited

Tomorrow (Sunday) we all have the day off together! I am so excited to lay in bed with Jeremy in the morning, hear Ethan wake up and then bring him into bed to eat breakfast. It is going to be so sweet. I love family time. This is the first day we have had off as a family since I went back to work.

Do you like the video I just posted? He is still phlegmy/coughing which bothers me so I will bring it up during his 4 month doctor appointment.

Wanna hear something gross? Well if you don't then stop reading.......... I went to lunch today with a couple girlfriends and I had Ethan sitting on my lap while I was waiting for my food arrive. I thought I felt my cell phone vibrate but it turns out (the smell tipped me off) that Ethan had just shat himself. I was thinking, "Wow I hope they have a changing station in their restroom." I stood up and i felt a squish. Yup, Ethan had pooped UP his diaper and onto my shirt and jeans. Of course, he was covered as well.

I thought about just leaving but I pulled myself together, went to the restroom and used my handy dandy diaper bag and all of its useful contents. We left the restroom smelling like a sewer but we were both clean! I had to take off my shirt and wear my nursing tank for the rest of the outing but who cares? We had fun and made it through a potential disaster!

I will make an effort to start posting more interactive videos of Ethan. I want to start taking the camera out with us too. We went to babies r us today and it would have been fun to document the exciting trip. We got him some pads to stop the car seat straps from rubbing on his neck. Not cute but still necessary. It is much more fun to buy clothes and toys.

Also for Christmas, we would like crib sheets for home and daycare. The standard size crib sheet is fine and any print/color is fine too. I like blue, yellow, orange, and green because they match his room. Prints will work too because he can take them to daycare. I like to use our own sheets instead of theirs. Just a thing I like to do for him :). Some things at daycare bother me, but I have to tell myself that it is never going to be as good as home.

I am so tired and am trying to get to bed early!

Let me say a bit about Ethan's insurance. Ok here we go.............
1. Ethan is uninsured because I had 3o days to do so and tried to on day 32.
2. The reason I did was because they told me to wait until I got his SSN but since I don't have that it writing, they are saying that no one told me that.
3. I have tried everything. Please believe me when I tell you this. I have called everyone, complained to everyone, appealed everything, and applied for everything.
4. We are broke because of this. Did you know that 12 hours in the NICU costs $5500? Trust me when I say we are broke. It sucks. A lot. I have cried over it. A lot.
5. I am now in the stages of accepting our situation and moving on. It sucks and is a terrible situation but we have to move on and I have to let go of all this anger and emotion. I have learned that Memphis City Schools do not care about their employees and that I am just a number when I walk into the HR offices. They don't know how hard I work for them and they really don't care. It is a business and that it the way it is and I can't change it.
6. We were saving for a moving fund because we are trying to relocate for the next school year but now we are so far behind that I don't know if we can afford the move. I'll tell you all about our future living plans later, I'm tired now.
7. Thank you everyone for your support and compassion and being there to listen when it has been frustrating. Thankfully, Ethan will be insured on January 1st so we are crossing our fingers and praying until then. After this next doctor appointment, he won't have anymore scheduled visits so that is good news.

We have learned that you can't count on anyone except friends and family and that is why I want to move closer to home. Still working on it and this is a monetary setback but we will make it through. As long as we have each other and our health, we will be just fine!

Love everyone! Have a great Sunday :)

You Know You're a Mom When....

........you see an advertisement for Burberry pumps and you think "huh, I didn't know they had designer breastpumps. I wonder if they are cute? Oh wait, nevermind."

Someone is Missing...

Cheryl are you still reading the blog? Haven't had comments from you recently! Don't think I don't notice! :)

Cute Outfit Alert

Thanks Erin for the jacket and thanks Ceci for the moose shirt!

Example

When I say a car seat cover, I mean something like this.....

Winter is Near, Christmas Soon?

So, I just went looking through Ethan's overflowing clothing drawers and weeded out the stuff that doesn't fit him anymore..........that left him with about half of what was in his drawers. Next, I looked for season appropriate clothes that are in his current size.....and that left about NOTHING!

People keep asking us what we need so let me tell you!

A cover for the car seat (orange, royal blue, red, or grey)
Warm Blankets
Swaddle Cloths/Blankets (Size M or L....he is growing fast!)
Long Sleeve Onsies (3-6 and 6-9 months)
Regular Onsies (3-6 and 6-9 months)
Pants (3-6 and 6-9 months)
Thick socks (I think winter boots would be excessive for him so socks are fine)
Jackets! (6-9 months since he will be layered most of the time)
Cute Winter Hats (he has super cute summer hats but NO winter ones!)
PJ's! Can you believe that he has outgrown 0-3 months? He needs cute PJ's in 6-9 month sizes
.....and any other winter stuff you can think of!

Of course, we always love Target and Walmart gift cards. Old Navy, Gap, Kohls, and JCPenney also have great baby clothes.

If you don't want to get Ethan anything, DON'T! I'm just posting this in case you wanted to know what we needed.

Peace out from Mississippi.

Mean Ethan!

I friggin love this picture. He gives the best mean look. Jeremy said he looks like Gage from Pet Semetary. What do you think? Bad pic or super cute and funny?

What a Great Weekend

I had such a great weekend with Ethan! We had lots of bonding and quality time. Today we went to Krisha's work (Air National Guard) for her baby shower! He was so sweet and everyone loved him. Krisha got a lot of stuff and we got to eat cake. I was the only person that was in 'civilian' clothing but that is ok with me. Everyone at her work seems to like her a lot so it was really fun. I was so happy that Ethan was so agreeable. He took a big poop before we left (causing me to change his ENTIRE outfit) so he was feeling relieved.

I have 9 pounds to go before I get back to my prepregnancy weight! I know my weight has shifted but the scale says I am still steadily losing weight. Love weight watchers. So easy and so effective.

People keep thanking me for doing this blog. First of all, you are welcome and secondly, I enjoy doing it! I miss the sarcastic narrative that I used to post but my audience has changed so I have to keep it more informative and less descriptive. I'm sure my dad or Gram Lapointe don't want to know if I'm constipated or starting my period for the first time since last October (still haven't by the way). My hair is starting to fall out. I thought that was supposed to happen when you finished breastfeeding and Ethan gets breastmilk 99% of the time.

Our bond is getting so strong. When he was first born, of course I loved him but lately, I feel like we are getting to know each other so well. He loves me so much :).

On Friday I raced home so I could pick him up from daycare because when you pick him up, he smiles like crazy! It is soooooo sweet :). Usually, Jeremy gets out before I do so I get to drop him off (sad!) and Jeremy gets the joy of picking him up.

Daycare doesn't suck. I don't totally hate it anymore. I really like the place and I feel that they do a pretty good job. I think the room could be cleaner (gross fridge!) and I hate that when I drop him off, I have to bring him to the big kid room since the infant room workers don't get there until 7am. I like how they keep a DETAILED record of his eating, sleeping, pooping and peeing so when we pick him up, we know exactly what is going on with him.

It has been confirmed (but suspected for quite some time)!! Ethan is the cutest baby in the infant room!! One of the ladies at daycare said so and I had to agree. :) Even though he is losing his hair and starting to look like uncle Fester, he still is way cuter than the big-headed, bug-eyed other babies. Is that mean? Yes? Oh well.

How is work going? I like teaching, I think everyone is stupid and can't speak in proper English and wonder why our kids write like they talk. Ok, that was mean but I am tired of the crap and am totally, 100% there only for the kids and the paycheck. Things are going so great in my classroom and that pleases me. The kids are learning and they really appreciate that since they have had nothing but random subs since the first day of school. Also, I am now teaching all of the former piano kids and they are so happy to be finally learning stuff. I gather that their former piano teacher just yelled all period long and although she was a nice person, she didn't teach very well. Mean again? I call it like I see it. I'm sure I will have tough times this year, just like any other year, but it will be fine because at 2:30 the school day ends whether I have a rough day or a great day. I will do the best I can, that goes without saying. :)

Ethan is going to be a cow for his first Halloween! I will take pics, don't you worry!

Sad Day

Cheryl and Norm left this morning to go back to Maine! We had a really nice visit and we REALLY appreciated the help. Norm brought rollerblades and took Zoey out almost everyday. She loved the attention and excercise! Parker wasn't too thrilled with the rollerblades but still enjoyed all the attention with Norm.
Cheryl was so happy to cuddle with Ethan and help around the house. She made a some yummy meals and then portioned the leftovers out for my lunches. She did dishes before I even put them in the sink haha! We all had a very good week, especially since Ethan went to daycare only one day this week! He got lots of family kisses and attention which makes me happy.
Monday is the big day! Jeremy isn't sending Ethan to daycare and I have to work so it is Daddy and Ethan's first whole day together! I'm hoping it goes smoothly (like Ethan is cooperative) but if he isn't then I am sure that Jeremy will handle it just fine. Monday is faculty meeting day so I will be extra late since my Principal loves the sound of his voice! Long winded, as they say.
I promise I will post a ton of pics soon. I have so many great pics to share! Ethan is smiling more and more everyday so I'll have to show you.

A Blend of Old/New Pics

Ethan is 12 weeks old! WOW!

There! Ya happy Mom?? New pics and videos are coming soon. I think minutes now have only 45 seconds because time goes so quickly.
