5 months!

5 months today I was laying in the hospital bed having my water broken at this time. Crazy how time flies by so fast!

Happy 5 Months to my sweet baby!

Time to CELEBRATE!

Most importantly.....

RYLEE SLEPT THROUGH THE ENTIRE NIGHT LAST NIGHT!

And yes, that causes for red, bold, italics & large font. This is the FIRST time she's ever slept through the ENTIRE night without waking up one time! We had a very rough day yesterday so I was expecting a rough night, but she proved me wrong! I'm pretty sure this won't happen again, but maybe?

Since I woke up & felt so refreshed I decided to go shopping. Oops.

For anyone that is needing/wanting a stroller that is lightweight, compact & super easy you have to buy this!

The 2011 City Mini. It's AMAZING & I'm not just saying that. It's only 15lbs, the wheels come off & it folds with just a strap you pull up. Flying? No problem. It folds small enough to put in the overhead compartment! You would think I'm getting paid to do this review, but I'm not..It's just that awesome. And yes, the $240 price tag is WORTH EVERY PENNY!

I laid my green eyes on this bathing suit & just had to get it. How freakin' adorable is this?! I'm in love.

And...and...and....

Jeremy, Rylee & I are going to Chicago June 5th-9th! Tickets are booked! 

oh...one last night & this is it.

Jeremy called me and said "I had to take Rylee's pink socks fishing with me today because I couldn't rub her head this morning. They were in my pocket all day long." And, he won! It must have worked! WOO!

Something to think about..

When you’re weary of fixing another meal and doing dishes yet again, somebody wishes they had food to put on the table. 

When you’ve folded and put away a(nother) mountain of laundry, somebody wishes their children had proper coats and hats to wear to school.

When you’re groaning over the highest heating bill yet this year, somebody wishes they weren’t so cold.

When you’re losing sleep and gagging over a child’s stomach bug episode, somebody is praying for a miracle over her child’s hospital bed.



When the exhaustion and nausea of the first trimester are about to do you in, somebody is weeping (yet again) over a negative pregnancy test.



When your headache intensifies over your teen’s college financial paperwork, somebody is visiting the site of her teen’s fatal wreck.
When you wake up to another cloudy, rainy day, somebody is praying for moisture to end a season of drought


. 
When you pick up your husband’s dirty socks and take out the trash because he forgot, somebody is wishing that for just a moment she didn’t have to do it all alone, all the time.





The next time your situation threatens to steal your joy, try to remember… somebody wants what you have

Fun Friday...not so much.

Jeremy left early this morning for a fishing trip out of town. This is the first time he's left me home alone with Rylee and a 90lb dog that I'm suppose to walk. How in the world am I going to walk a dog that is almost bigger than I! Let the fun begin...

On top of that- I feel like I'm getting sick. Not good! Hopefully it's just my lack of sleep lately. 

I'm trying a new idea for nap time today. She always wants to be swaddled, but I feel like I need to break her of that habit. So right now she's napping & has 1 arm out of the swaddle & so far, so good. I think I'll continue that for a week and then take the other arm out and see what happens. She has her favorite blankie in her hand. :) 

My chubby chubby baby in the bath last night :)

Did I mention how ready she is for summer?!

And Easter?? Yep, that's her outfit for the big day!

WOO!

My new carpet came today!! I'm so excited! I still need to do quite a bit of work to this room, but I'm making progress. 

View from hallway. 

I need new pillows..not green, obviously. 

I also need something on the right side of the window. 

view from where the TV is.

and view from the front door. 

And I need curtains still for the sliding glass door. Since it's in the same room I'm thinking I will have to buy the same curtains as I did for the window.

I also want to mount the TV on the wall and get rid of his manly stuff still. Take the sun down & his damn fishing net on the wall.

this is my "old" living room...EW! 

Bachelor News/Moochers

People are such MOOCHERS!! There's this idiot chick that is ALWAYS asking for handouts. She's selling everything possible because she needs money. She doesn't have a job. On medicaid, food stamps, WIC...BUT DOESN'T HAVE A JOB! What in the world is wrong with people?! GET A JOB if you need that much help. Damn. I don't want to pay for your mooching ass. She keeps asking for coupons & practically begging people, but she has an i-phone. I don't understand ANY of this. End of rant. = )

Jeremy & I are huge reality tv junkies. Especially when it comes to The Bachelor. I'm really into Emily. I like Chantel too, but Em is my favorite. Who wins? I hope it's Emily. If you don't want a spoiler, stop reading now. I follow Reality Steve &  he keeps saying Emily; however, Jeremy's boss' daughter lives in Charlotte & keeps saying that they know her and it's not her that wins. I find this hard to believe. First- of course Em or Chantel won't be seen with Brad because, hello, that's a huge spoiler.

We are going to Joto's tonight. It's a yummy japanese steakhouse. I can't waiiiiiiit!

Flo Gets Married!! Living Room Ramblings

I finally ordered our new rugs. These bitches guys need to deliver them already! I put up our new curtains for the living room too and it makes the entire room feel and look so much different. I love it! I'm on my next project- finding curtains for our sliding glass doors. I'm sick of these vertical blinds. I've been googling images and I can't find any I'm in love with. Do any of you all have ideas? Obviously I need to match the curtains I just bought since it's the same room, but do I want something like this?

Not green though. 

or something like this? with the sheer behind the curtains. 

My bedroom looks like this:

That's pretty much what my living room curtains look like, but a little different. I plan on posting pictures once I'm done.

 ANY INPUT???

In other news: I'm currently watching Flo Gets Married from the Bad Girls Club! This whole show is a train wreck, but holy crap. I can't believe she's PREGNANT & GETTING MARRIED. What in the world is she thinking?!?! This is Flo for anyone that doesn't remember..

They were just walking through the baby store picking out furniture & she said "holy shit how are we going to afford a baby?" Hello? Did you not think a baby was expensive? It's not all fun & games like most people think. RA TARD.

Rylee is finally back to her old & better schedule. No more waking up 4x a night just to wake up, not even to nurse.  The past few days have been good. Last night wasn't the best, but we will get through it. Just like we were able to get through the newborn waking-up-every-2-hour-stage.

She's in 6-9 month clothes, but somehow this 0-3 month outfit still fit her! I love this little cuddly baby.
