Short, fat, and NOT FLAT

I did it! Quick update, need to get to bed, yes at 8 pm. I have managed to reshape Jude's head!!! Thank goodness! Such a relief. I told John I saved us 1500 bucks so off I went to buy flowers Ha. But wow, I feel so much better. His head measurement went from a 7 down to a 3. I'm assuming a 0 is ideal. I'm not really sure about numbers or her system. Jude's number was a 91.4 or something. Before it was a 93. 5 or something. (the or something is after the decimal, not sure on that...) But she said they are looking for 90-91 and that's it. She was pleased, as was I! WOOHOO. We are going back for another check up in a month. So I suppose I have to do the same thing for another month which sucks! You'd be surprised by all I do really. It's quite awful. The kid is never on his back besides changing him. Even then, I do these crazy head exercises that he thinks are funny! HA. So here I am another month of reshaping :/

A real woman always keeps her house clean and organized, the laundry basket is always empty. She's always well dressed, hair done. She never swears, behaves gracefully in all situations and all circumstances. She has more than enough patience to take care of her family, always has a smile on her lips, and a kind word for everyone. I suspect that I might be a man.

So here's what we did the day we found out he does NOT need a helmet! And some extras!





He didn't even need the 100's of toys connected. I was enough entertainment!




This is how you fit a baby cold and flat head. At the same time!


Well someone would rather have me play with him then write currently. Cheers.

Snot sucker!

Go figure! Who would have known my baby loves the snot sucker. Did this multiple times, not a fluke he enjoys the sound it makes! Funny kid.

Well sadly, I am going to miss a very important night for John. I feel awful! I feel more awful for my baby though. He just can't breathe at night with his nose, sleep good or eat much for that matter. He was so tired, he actually slept in until 8 AM this morning. What a change for me. Hope he gets better fast. On a brighter note, by the time he's 2 he'll have all the colds possible in the world and never get sick again! Can't wait for age 2! Ha. Hope everyone has a fabulous Easter! Well touch base during the week!

Bath time!

Now that's a big baby!

What happens when your baby gets up at 4:45 AM

What happens when your baby gets up at 4:45 AM....?

1. You change him because he has peed through his diaper, sleeper, etc. Right I almost want a helmet so I can quit laying him to sleep on his side. He pees through the diaper NIGHTLY leaving me with an unhappy baby and wet bed. Ugh. Then he proceeds to scream louder because he hates being changed!

2. You drastically try to feed him and lay him back down gently.

3. You pee yourself because you know you'll have to go back in.

4. You go back in and turn on jungle Tv, praying for another hour.

5. You climb in bed nervously, hoping, praying, but secretly knowing.

6. You listen.

7. You breathe quietly.

8. You close your eyes.

9. You cringe and hear his cry.

10. You moan hoping to wake you husband up to get a little sympathy. (and may even shuffle the covers just a bit :)

11. You walk in, turn on the lights, look at him, and sigh.

12. You throw him in the jumper and explain that the sun isn't even up!

13. You let the dog out and then watch her come back in and go lay in bed.

14. You think, just this one morning, you wish you were the dog in the bed.

15. You turn on the coffee maker.

16. You realize you're making water; place coffee beans in the filter.

17. You continue to talk about the world sleeping while you pour coffee.

18. You realize you got the creamer mug and not a coffee mug.

19. You think "cool, the spoon fits perfectly in the spout, look what I found out."

20. You spill coffee all over (spout) and realize how NOT COOL that spout is.

21. You look out front door, hoping to see life, but smile when you see sunrise instead.

22. You take picture of sunrise.


5:15 AM.

4:53 AM.

22. You go back to wondering what you can do different to sleep till 7 or even 6:30, heck 6 is fine now.

22. You get a shower in, dishwasher unloaded, load of laundry done, breakfast (both baby and me), and update blog all before 9:30 AM.

23. You think "CRAP it's only 9:30 AM?" Feels like 3:30 PM.

24. You sigh and go on.

25. Wish us luck today.

Well these are pictures from the other day! Too cute right :)


Count the Rolls!

Splish Splash I like taking a bath!

Watching daddy mop...

April 19

Baby napping, thought I'd update ya on our life :)

Well, I think Jude has grown out of napping in his carseat. Isn't working out anymore. I suppose I'm okay with this. Kid prefers his bed. That's good!

Jude LOVES Uma now too. Not just Fran. Maybe it's all dogs.

Went to Olive Garden. We meet John and his work people. It was a "see-ya later John" lunch. Funny though, there were 3 babies. Jami has baby Riley, Rachel has Eli, and I of course have fatty. So funny, the waitress is looking at all the babies saying how cute they are, she looks at Jude and goes "Oh whose fatty is that!?!" Yep, I claim him. He's my fatty. I mean hanging with Riley and Eli. . . he looks like a giant. Lol. Riley (9 months) and Eli are so fit looking :) But anyways, it was good food, I think. I mean really, I recall why I don't eat out with Jude. There is no point. I never really get to eat much or truly savor the taste so it was good, I think. :)

Jude is sitting up on his own great now! All the time! Oh exciting, he even managed to help me cut the grass the other day. What a sight, I carried the jumperoo everywhere. Holy cow I hate that thing. It doesn't fit thru any doors! Ugh but he was great just watching me go up and down! I could have started something bad though. Now John will expect this every week :/

Other than that, not sure what else is new. John has an exciting upcoming week! Holy Thursday, Good Friday, Easter Saturday (the end of his classes!). I think it went by fast, but I know he'll enjoy going to mass Saturday nights and not at 9 am Sunday morning. I'm already up though by that time, sometimes for hours before...I don't really mind :) Well see what works with us! Also, John starts his new job in Accounting on Friday. Exciting stuff. Hope it's everything he wants!

We go to the head doctor next Thursday. I think it does look a lot a better, but it is still flat. Anxious to see what the OP says. Well here are the pictures update!

Read the sign....LIQUID GOLD! You may be wondering what my count is up to now...Just over 900 ounces. I'm weaning the night pumping. Just sick of it. I think 900 will due.

My new FAVORITE picture of J man!

Loves Uma really.

Mom I finally found a hat I liked. At Carters (of course) size 12-24 months. Lol.

The only age it's okay to be fat and wear a sweater vest!


Yep I was a Charlie's angel...

We clean up nicely. We just don't chose to usually :)


Busy May ahead. 3 weddings all in May, Becky's shower, rehearsal, last paper due (even though I don't have to go class), and some other random stuff. We've decided to do a cheap mini-vacation in June. So we have to get through May then we're off in June to Gulf Shores. Got a good deal, decided to drive, well see if we ever go on vacation again after this :)

Your favorite family of four!

Buddy Eli playdate!

Best bud Eli came over to play with Jude this week! Good times, cute boys!



JUDE-No need to hog the camera, your mom takes enough pictures of you :)


Yo Eli, I can jump on one foot! Yo Jude, I can stand for hours!

Some others of the week.


I am getting SO good at sitting by myself b/c my mom won't let me do anything else!

Moobs (man boobs...)

Dog gone cute...sometimes.

Man boobs, yep, He's a looker!

Pooped thru is outfit, in case you were wondering why he's naked...

Mommy love <3

Alright, I love you all and you're all awesome, but I'm going nuts here! No more fingers in my baby's mouth or yours! In fact, even refrain from touching his fingers! This kid has been sick 4 times now and he's only 5 months!!!! I'm going nuts! I do NOT have a newborn, however, Jude needs me most at night, all night long, at every hour....:/ Death to me. I even had John help me over the weekends where I usually just let him sleep. No joke, every single hour Friday night, every two hours Saturday night, and Sunday night was a little better (if you consider 3:30, 5, 6, 7 better...). In fact, just look at him! Wait no, can you spend germs that way? Lol, Okay just kidding but pleassssseeee, help me out here! Other than that, he's great during the day! Happy as can be for the most part.

First time ever, never thought this would happen, but I actually put too much icing on my angel food cake this morning. Yikes. Icing overload.

On a brighter note, grass cutting season has begun!! I have cut once and man, I am out of shape! I can't believe I did this 8 months pregnant! Can't wait to do it again though :)

He goes by "cheeks"...

Playing with Ellie

Friday!

Happy Friday. I've been meaning to update but had a massive paper due last night. So you can figure out what consumed my time. Jude. Right. Not the paper. Little stinker. Ha. But I only have ONE more class next Thursday then another A, another $1,000 gone! Good times. Signed up for my LAST class at Umsl on Monday. How exciting. I can't believe in one year (Yikes that sounds long) I will never have to attend a class again, until I get bored and go back for something silly.

Cheeks is so big! He loves toys now! It's so cute! He also eats "dinner" nightly. Well I got to run but wanted to post the latest!


Look no hands! Only took me 5 months to figure this thing out!

Yea mon

I'm learning how to sit up!

One of my favorite toys!

Awesome big boy pajamas!

Who doesn't enjoy eating like this?


Go Cards!
