Here’s a picture from a couple weeks ago…not exactly super flattering picture of me, but who’s looking at me anyways…its all about those 2 handsome men in my arms!
Where do I start?
First of all, I owe an apology to all my loyal blog followers (all 2 of you, I love you Mom A & Mom Z) for my lack of posting lately and likely in the future. I truly plan to update at least once a week so I don’t get so behind and obviously I have fallen short of that, so sorry!
Okay, so onto my boys and what they’ve been up to…let’s start with E, he turned 3 months old last week, yes, I know…can you believe it? I can’t. My wonderful SIL Jody took some great pictures last weekend of my little 3 month old, see a few of them below. She is really great, but not sure how much more I can abuse her generosity as she is over 5 months pregnant with my niece or nephew (we will find out in about a week when my brother is on leave). So, she will be busier with other things in about 4 months! I am SO excited to be an auntie again!!! Not too much else is new with E…he gave us 2 full weeks of complete bliss of sleeping through the night, but now he has reverted to his regular schedule of waking up 1x/night. No, not bad at all for a 3 month old, but I really enjoy my sleep so I would like him to go back to his good sleeping ways.
Now onto William…have I ever asked who taught him to talk? Seriously, we can’t get him to be quiet now. Daddy has to watch his mouth even more now cause he has picked up on a few choice words here and there. Yes, kinda funny hearing out of his little mouth, but we try not hold it in and tell him he can’t say those words. (all while laughing) Both my boys have been sick since I returned to work, William is on his second ear infection and they both have had some form of a cold it seems like for well over a month. We even took Will into the doctor late last week because he was wheezing so terrible, but apparently its just a bad cold going around – wonderful. On top of all that, this is no fun, but the ear infection meds he is on is causing some major messy diapers. We think its even causing him some major stomach pain so we’re looking forward to him being done with the meds by the end of the week.
In other news, I can’t tell you how discouraged I was last week and over the weekend knowing my brother was stuck in Afghanistan trying to get out for his 10 day leave. It’s so hard when you’re looking forward to something and then to be disappointed, over and over again. I don’t know why I don’t expect it, it’s the military, they’re never on time or remotely predictable whatsoever, why should I expect my brother to come home when they say he will? At least we heard through his wife that he has started his trip home. He is done with the first of 5 legs in his trip, which will take approximately 4-5 days. My SIL Jody invited me to go to the airport with her so, as long as I am able, I plan to pick him up with her. I am SO excited she asked me to go with her!! He hasn’t met his nephew yet so I was thinking about bringing him with, but Andrew wasn’t so keen on me bringing him to the airport so we may pass.
What’s new with me? Just crazy busy with everything from work, the boys and husband…they all keep me running around. I plan to get my business back up and running so if anyone is interested in hosting a Pampered Chef cooking show, let me know I’d be happy to come and cook for you and your friends!
And now onto the pictures…Thank you again Auntie Jody! (I have some more we took at home, I will have to get some time to post them as well!)
