Stupid growth spurt

I think.and hope we are finally over the 3 month growth spurt. Or close at least... he was better yesterday and slept better last night. I am enjoying the quiet tho he is starting to stir. I hope he's a happy baby today...

Mommy moments and growth spurts

Well little man seems to go through growth spurts every couple weeks. He eats more, sometimes sleeps less, sometimes more. I figure he just went through another since he wouldn't nap and kept fighting sleep, then a couple days all he did was eat and sleep. So yesterday I put him in his walker and his feet touch! A few days ago it was just toes. Sigh he's growing too fast. He is also starting to try to sit up by himself.
The other day I was hit with some profound what I call 'mommy moments'. I just look at him and feel so much love. I think of everything I want to show and teach him, all the places I want to take him... I just hope I can, I hope I have the time. I don't want to realize years down the road when he's all grown that we put off everything I wanted to do with him. Also I love it in the morning when he wakes up for the second time and looks around, sees me then smiles as big as can be... my heart melts every time.

emotional and exhausted

Being a stay at home mom with a high maintenance 2 1/2 month old is hard. Jett is one of those babies that seems to get board easy and wants to be held and played with all the time. Which makes cooking and housework near impossible. Sigh. On top of that he's had trouble sleeping lately. He cries and fights going to sleep then has bad dreams and wakes up crying. I don't know what to do...
On top of it all I'm starting to not feel so well. Watery eyes, tired, slightly stuffy nose, and pain in my stomach tho that's likely from the stupid birth control pills

my big baby... update on 2month appt and other tidbits

Little man is now 10weeks old. His appt didn't go too bad he weighed in at 17lbs 2oz and measured 24.5in long... he'a a BIG boy! He got 3 shots and a liquid one. I had to give him the liquid since I give him meds everyday so I'm the 'expert' as the nurse put it. He screamed so hard during the shots and held daddy's hand. I teared up of course. He calmed down pretty quick and I nursed him. Then he fell right asleep. We met a friend for lunch. He woke up a few times while we ate but just stared at the booth back. :( we gave him some tylenol later and he fussed a few times later but was pretty good overall. The pediatrician had also told us to give cereal in his bottle twice a day... ha! He won't even take a bottle since the last day I worked when he started refusing it and screamed for over an hour. So this should be interesting. Stanford's taxes came in so we have been getting a lot of stuff. I got Jett a bath chair which I can't wait to try out. Also we might look into cloth diapering and.some tips for homemade baby food later on. Now if only I could get the hang of cleaning with a baby in my arms lol

2 Months

Well it's been 2 months since I had my little man... well 9 weeks and 2 days to be exact. I returned to work last Thursday and leaving him was so hard. I know his daddy is taking care of him but it just feels so wierd to be away from him. His 2 month check-up is tomorrow morning and I am dreading him having to get his shots. I still can't believe I am a mom... I always said I would never have kids... Now I love my little man with all my heart and I couldn't imagine not having him. I still tear up with happiness when he smiles at me. On top of everything going on My Love and I are getting married this April. We have been together almost 3 years now. Our little family seems so complete... even though we are still trying to get a routine set.

crazy year

2010 was eventful to say the least. I had already been married and separated and in 2009 moved from ny to al. I already had my marriage experience and I have never wanted kids...
The year started out with me quitting my job after being threatened but thats no biggie
The first real big event happened on April 1st... I found out I was pregnant! yeah on April fools day... no one believed us. my parents and sis were here tho so they knew. My mom had recently found out her melanoma had returned... again. they were heading back to ny to her doctors. this would be mom's first blood grandbaby. later that month we find out I'm almost 12 weeks along already. mom's health continues to suffer and she starts a chemo pill, I'm getting bigger every day. In june we find out we will be having a boy. On july 4th I get a phone call... I need to go see my mom... the cancwe has spread despite rhe treatment. I fly out the next day. In less than 2 weeks my mom passed away leaving us heartbroken and wishing we had told her this or that...
I finally get my divorce... its final on Nov 19th... Jett Hiapo is born the next night at 11:01pm. he was 8lbs 4oz and 22.5inches long.
that is a short version of my year... it all seems to blur together into one big pile in my head...
