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. :)

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.
