I miss my bed............

I finally broke down and called the doctor today to prescribe me an antibiotic. I have been fighting a cold for the last three weeks. I woke up in the middle of the night and I couldn't breathe, my throat was soar and my head felt like it was going to explode. Factor in being sleep deprived doesn't help my situation out. My son still doesn't want to sleep in his crib and is still getting me up at night. I have been sleeping on our couch for the last three weeks. He also had a cold three weeks ago and ever since then he doesn't want to sleep in his crib. If anyone has any suggestion please send them my way. I look forward to the night when I get to sleep in my nice comfortable bed again. I have also taken my first dose of antibiotic so hopefully in the next few days I will feel better.

Happy Birthday Melanie!

Do you remember when you were this flexible? I know I don't. I asked Thomas if his toes were yummy and he just smiled, so I take that as a yes. I have to say he has the cutest little toes.


This picture was just to cute not to post. I love his chubby little fingers and and his big brown eyes. He just looks so sweet and innocent.

Santa Clause

Today we took Thomas to visit Santa Clause at Bass Pro. He did great, didn’t even cry like all the other children in front of him. I’m a proud mommy because he was very brave. He was actually more interested in pulling and sucking on Santa’s beard. After that we did a little Christmas shopping for our dads. We thought we would see how Thomas would do in the shopping cart…..it lasted 5 minutes. But I can’t complain, because he was a very good little boy!



May I suck on your beard



My daddy is funny




Waiting in line for Santa


First time in the shopping cart that didn't last long. I'd rather have mommy hold me.

Thomas is 5 months old today

Thomas is 5 months old. I can’t believe it. When people tell you to cherish this time because it goes by fast they were right. It feels like yesterday that I just welcomed him to this world. He is a pretty amazing little boy! Lately he has been rolling over to get to places. He is like a little worm on his stomach, I would give it another month and he should be close to crawling (Lord help us), I believe we will have a climber on our hands. He is also sitting up pretty good on his own. Every once in awhile he gets tired and needs a little support. He also loves to suck on my chin, pull and eat my hair (and no, I will not be cutting it). I love his laugh, all of sudden you will just hear him break out into laughter and start screaming, a fun scream though! He starting to look a lot more like his father, but he was blessed with my gorgeous brown eyes!


Dustin is still being a good daddy and staying at home with Thomas during the day. Every once in awhile he goes to the babysitter. We really don’t want to start the full time babysitter thing until he is one. I’m not big on my Son spending 8-10 hours of his day with a complete stranger. I have to say I have a great husband who is willing to sacrifice his sleep to do this. I can see the great bond it has created between them, Thomas loves his daddy and watches his every move.

I’m finally down to my pre pregnancy weight, fitting into my size 2’s….thank the Lord. Never thought I would make it. I’m so glad I didn’t get rid of any of my clothes, I almost gave them to my sister. I still try and do 200 crunches a night and Thomas is making a great bench press. I have to say I’m very lucky that my body adjusted back so quickly. After gaining 50 pounds I never thought I would be back to my original size.



Other than that we are looking forward to Thomas' first Christmas and spending time with family and friends. God Bless.

Little Monkey!

We bought this for Thomas for Christmas but decided to give it to him early. He loves it and it has been a blessing. Lately my son has been getting me up at 3:00 AM in the morning. All I have to do is put him in this and within 20 to 30 minutes he is back to sleep.
