2yrs Ago Today....



7 Months Old

Our little man is 7 months old today.

He is probably a little over 15lbs now.

He is almost crawling. He can get on his hands and knees and kind of rock, he can scooch to get what he wants and he can get into a push-up position. So really any day he will be taking off and all will change. But his main mode of movement is rolling all over the place.

He is enjoying all kinds of solid foods (except avacados and peas). HIs favorites are pears, bananas, and carrots. He even sat in his big boy highchair yesterday (propped up with 2 recieving blankets) and enjoyed some puffs and a graham cracker.

He is still sleeping great. Around 11 hours at night and usually 3 naps during the day.

His favorite toy are the jumperoo, a little car toy with lights, sounds and a steering wheel, the play gym and anything with a tag.

He is starting to be a little more vocal, making different sounds. No mama, dada, baba yet.

He finally got a bumper on the crib after bruises showed up on his forehead from banging on the crib.

He is almost always happy and smiling. He is starting to laugh more. He doesn't cry much, except when still hungry and the food is gone.

He has one little tooth that just started breaking through today.

Here is our boy.


Not Me! Monday


Another week... what a better way to start than by not confessing what I've been up to.
I did not forget that today is our anniversary. My husband did not have to remind me after commenting that Jacob is 7mo old today. And I am not writing this post to make it up to my husband. Nope. Not me!
Happy Anniversary Babe.

Not Me! Monday



Two weeks in a row, I'm on a roll.

I do not check Devin's belly button for lint. Nope. I just don't understand how it always has lint in it. I mean, where does it come from? Not me!

Devin and I have not started watching "Lost" (starting with season 1), you know, since this is the last season. We started at the beginning on hulu.com. 100+ episodes. Like we need something else to do. Nope not me!
We did not have cereal for dinner the other night at 8:00pm because I had a snack of kettle corn and chocolate milk at 4:30pm. Not me!
I do not have sheets sitting in the wash that do not need to be re-washed since they have been sitting in there for 2 days. Nope. And I do not have dry clothes in the dryer that have been in there for 3 days. Nope. And I do not just keep taking what I want out of the dryer without actually taking out all the clothes and folding them. Nope. No way. Not me!
This is what I have not been doing the last week. How about you? You can check out what MckMama and everyone else has not been doing here.

I Never Thought I Would Be....

...a mom who smells a child's bum to check for a dirty diaper, but I have.

...a mom who has the video camera ready at a moments notice for catching every major moments, but I do.

...a mom who puts headbands and hats with bows and flowers on our little girls, but I sure will if we have one!

...a mom who drives a minivan, but we are heading in that direction.

...a mom who checks on my baby when sleeping, just to make sure he is still breathing, but I do.

...breastfeeding and pregnant at the same time, but I am!

Pregnancy Q&A

How far along are you?

About 11 and a half weeks


Will you be having another c-section?

Yes


Are you going to find out the sex this time?

Yes, since we will be having another c-section, the suprise of the birth is lost.


How are you feeling?

The first 2-3 weeks after I found out, I was feeling terrible. Exhausted, nauseated and puking. For the last week or so I have been feeling great, back to normal except for a little more tired. The last few days/evenings the nausea has returned a little, but no puking.


Are you still nursing Jacob?


Yes, for right now atleast. I get to eat anything and everything I want cause I am eating for 3. Ha. I am going to continue breastfeeding for at least a few more months unless something changes.


How close will the kids be?

They will be just over 12 months apart.

Were you planning on getting pregnant this early?

Well we certianly were not preventing the pregnancy. We are both a little suprised that it happened so quickly especially since I was exclusively breastfeeding. We are thrilled and can't wait to meet our new little one and have him or her in our arms!


When is the due date?

Sept 14th 2010.

Why was Jacob's "Big Brother" shirt so big?

Because the smallest size they carried was a 2T. Ha.
