First Tooth

Well, it's finally here, Jaxon has his first tooth. Front bottom one. It's little, and cute. I'd get a picture if he'd let me, but he won't! LOL! Pretty sure he's working on the one next to it too! Little bugger!
He is also crawling I'd say officially. It's not fast yet, kinda slow but it is definately an actual crawl. Last night he was on the floor playing near his toys and daddy was watching him, I was napping and he made his way over to me he wanted me awake. it was cute.
He is also playing the drums, oh yes, I said drums. He has a little Leap Frog electronic drum, and yesterday i showed him how to bang on it, like a bongo, and he did it, he loves it, he banged and banged and banged. Smart little fella my boy! LOL! Musical already, of course! Need to get him a guitar now!
Also he had his 6 month check up last week, he is blossoming...16lbs 2 oz and 26 inches still...his head is 17 in.

Can't believe how weird looking last nights post is.

Hello people! just wanted to share a small bit of my crazy life. Jaxon is 6 Months old now and sitting up, trying to crawl, getting some bottom teeth(f

Spiders are icky! Why do they only show up when my hubbYs away? Also I Just spilled formula on my new couch

blogging is very time consuming

My boy is 15lbs 15oz! I can't believe how big he has gotten!

Truly just wanting to update for all my followers! LOL! That's funny huh? Cuz I probably have none! Our family has been very busy lately.
Aaron is working as usual and it's summer so things are crazier than ever. This year he is the only Manager for the region and he has many venues that he is working with. White River Amphitheatre, Everett Events Center, The Gorge, Redhook Brewery, and the list goes on for festivals and such around the region. He's a busy man. He's not home a lot but when he is we sure try to take that time and make the best of it even though he's too exhausted to do anything.
Tallyn is bored....um...ok she's 9 and it's summer and well, you know! She is spending some days with Nana (who broke her arm a few weeks back!) and some with our friend/babysitter Brandi. She just came back from a 2 week trip to Oregon to visit her Great Grandma and her Great Aunt and cousins down there. Longest she's ever been away from us...it seemed to go very quickly, I'm thinking because I was busy with the baby.
So, speaking of the baby! lol! Jaxon is now 5 months and 10 days old! My how time flies! He is getting so big! He is now rolling all over the place and likes to be on his tummy a lot playing and sleeping (someone forgot to tell him he's supposed to sleep on his back!) I think he'll be crawling soon, which worries me a ton! I don't think I'll get any rest!
He has started eating big boy foods now too. He seems to love it all except for the 1st foods pureed meats, I don't blame the poor boy it stinks! Green beans were an aquired taste as well, but he'll eat em. He seems to really like prunes, but his tummy blew up...i learned to mix it with cereal and give him bananas a little later in the day! LOL!
He is now eating teething biscuits and baby mum mums (rice crackers) He loves these but gets frustrated easily when he drops them and doesn't know how to pick them up yet. So I hand them back to him (they are all slimy) and then he is happy again, vigilently biting away at it on his little gums. We are certain he is teething and are just waiting for a little bud to pop out. he is actually in quite good spritis for a first time teether. Just gets a little fussy here and there but is easily calmed down.
On another note, we fell into some new living room furniture yesterday and are so excited about it I could scream! It's so nice, and for only $50 too! you can't even get a crappy couch at the goodwill for that! A love seat, ottoman, and large chair so comfy! And it matches too~ Crazy!
So that's it for now, enjoy life...

Just testing mobile blogging!

jaxon

1 month old

Yeah

I went to the Dr today for my 37 week appt even though I'm 37 weeks and 2 days preggers. And Dr. Banfield said, so, you ready to be induced? and of course I said yes!!!!! So I am going to the hospital Wednesday February 11th and checking in at 4:30pm! they are going to keep me overnight ehile they do a procedure I won't get into detail on but lets just say things need to open up....and then thursday morning the 12 the dr will give me pitocin to induce labor....yeah! I can't wait!

Bedrest is still sucking...

So, I've been on bedrest since January 13, for those of you that are counting that means today was day 22. Can you say going stir crazy?

So if you haven't heard I was scheduled to have a version, which means the dr was going to turn the baby in my stomach on Tuesday, February 3rd, but didn't need it done! Which made me so happy. Super bowl sunday Aaron and I went to breakfast and went to buy Tallyn's birthday present at the toy store so i was up and about a wee bit. We sat at home and watched the game i ate some spicy chicken wings, etc. Later that night I felt so nauseous and had tummy pains, dizziness, really felt awful and I think Aaron was actually getting a little worried, then finally it just stopped and I felt better. So I went to sleep.
I woke up with the worst headache and laid down all day til about 2pm when I called the dr and they told me to go immediatley into triage. Well Aaron had been to centralia to pick up Tallyn from our family in Oregon and had stopped at his office in Seattle. So I had to wait for them to get home. WE probably got to the hospital around 430 and they wouldn't let Tallyn into triage so Aaron had to wait out in the waiting room with her, i laid in bed being monitored for about 2 hours when they finally told me that the on call dr was going to admit me overnight!!!
Tallyn had been gone for 4 days and now I had to stay in the hospital! So i asked if they could come into my room so i could tell my husband and my daughter, they let her back, thank goodness! So her little face looked all freaked when they said I had to stay. The Dr came in asked me a bunch of questions and said they wanted to keep my blood pressure under monitor because of the procedure tomorrow to make sure it was safe to do the version, plus since I had to be back here at noon anyway, i might as well stay, easy for them to say. After a series of questions the Dr decided to do a quick ultrasound to check on babies position. Guess What? Jaxon was head down!!!! YEAH! I got to go home! They said I was gonna get a shot of demoral for the head pain. I told them I hadn't eaten since 10am and they said they would order me some food and let me eat before i went home and because I had to wait after the shot to make sure I didn't have a reaction. So we finally got home aorund 9pm....ugh, but at least we were home! :)
So, here I sit day 2 still waiting to talk to my Dr...appointment with him is tomorrow morning, I'll report back.

Bedrest sucks

Ok, so It's been over a week now, that I've been on bedrest. Can I just say it sucks! Once I went to the grocery store and yesterday I went to the craft store and then value village....boy did I regret each thing. My Blood Pressure sky rockets and I feel terrible after walking. I want my body back! the only other times I've gotten out of the house were to go the hospital for my Non Stress tests/blood pressure checks and Dr appts, oh and ultrasounds.

Last fridays U/S said the baby was breech, his head was completely up and in the placenta. Today's U/S told me that he is now sort of sideways his head is on the left, and body to the right lying on his back. It explains why my tummy is so big the past couple days. So, dude is still breech. Unfortunately that means on Tuesday's Dr appt the Dr will discuss with me scheduling a version in which they will put me in the hospital hook me up to an IV and dr said "grease up my belly" and push and prod my tummy to turn him. This does not thrill me in the least, even worries me a bit from what I've read, it sounds painful and there are potential complications, as with anything. But I guess it beats the alternative of just automatically doing a c section. If there are complications they will just do a c section otherwise if he turns I will still deliver vaginally.

The Dr told me yesterday that there is no way I will go to 40 weeks with my BP so high so essentially his due date has moved up at least a week which would be at least the 17th. This would mean induction.

I have two NST's a week, monday and thursdays. Yeah me! I could just move in to the hospital I'm so familiar with it already. Last night I took Tallyn on a tour of the Labor and Delivery unit. She seemed a bit scared, but after wards seemed a bit more relaxed about the baby thing and mommy being in the hospital there, and now she will know where to go and all the waiting rooms, etc.


Wish I had more help around the house though. I'm not supposed to be cleaning, etc, and Aaron works so much that the dishes are piled up again, laundry needs to get done an i have lots of organizing i want done! AARGH! Not looking forward to the weekend of Aaron being in Kennewick and busy busy busy with like 7 different events he's in charge of.

I am looking forward to my baby shower on Sunday though!!! Yeah!!!!

Jaxon

Pretty Pj's

So, here's a silly. I got some new PJ's. Before Christmas I found this cute nighty that I wanted to buy myself at Kohls' pretty purple and Vera Wang, my favorite designer... Mind you I'm not all that up on designers but I love her stuff. So I bought it for myself deciding that I should have something pretty to wear while in the hospital having the baby instead of the nasty hospital gowns. So then when were shopping in a different Kohls' I found a matching pair of pajama bottoms. Today I needed to go spend the kohls' cash I earned and so I went and bought the bottoms! yeah me! I couldn't wait to wear them and so here I sit, wearing the prettiest pair of pajamas I think I've ever owned and feeling so comfy and fabulous in my favorite color purple!

Baby Jaxon

Okay, so, yes, my belly is huge. Just thought I'd share. Don't look at my ass. Looks like there's another baby in there. LOL!

Iron on Shirts for WDW Vacation!!!

Ok, so I tried my first iron on shirts today....they came out all right.
I am making one for everyone going with us to Disneyworld. Here are some photos. I learned that I should cut around the iron on a lot closer and also not to place a paper bag between the shirt...a bit of glue got on the white one....The color isn't super bright...but I still think it will be cute....we may attempt to buy a better photo quality ink before making others later...
I found a bunch of plain t shirts on sale for girls so I bought a few .

I'm looking for blank adult shirts on sale...so, if you see any!!! Was kinda hoping for a better quality than just white Hanes undershirts....
The girls shirts I bought are quite nice...I love clearance racks!

Red Robin Magic Card

ok, so I have an interesting blog for ya!
One day a few months ago our family went to Seattle and met a friend up from California for Dinner at Red Robin down on the pier. We hadn't seen him in years and were so excited and were having a fabulous dinner and were happily enjoying our meals when my 7 year old suddenly started choking and began pulling out a hair like thing out of her throat....she kept pulling and pulling and gagging and eventually choked up a peice of chicken nugget along with it. OMG! Gross!
She of course began crying and afraid she would vomit I ran her to the restroom, where she did....Poor thing was freaking out, as was I! When we returned to the table the boys, my hubby and his friend told us to go wait outside. So, Tallyn got her drink and we went out and waited on the pier. Needless to say, we hadn't finished our meals, and weren't about to. Probably the only time I've ever left a restaurant hungry.
Many moments went boy and the boys finally came out of the restaurant. They said they asked for the manager and he came out and said dinner was on him and asked them to wait a moment. He gave them a Gift Card for $60. Which Aaron the friend visiting gave to us for feeling so bad about what happpened to Tallyn. We were all about queazy after that, so our visit was a short one. How sad! Tallyn got a big ol ice cream cone and we went home. A few weeks later we went to the local red robin for dinner w/o tallyn as she was afraid to go. We ate a lovely mean and had drinks and all even appetizer which we never can afford.... We had $10.00 left on it and went on our way.
A while went by and alone again we went out to Red Robin for dinner, to finish off the card...We ordered our meal and the table next to us ordered theirs after. A while later the table next to us got their meal and then the manager brought ours out to us and said, "I'm so sorry about the wait (it was literally like 2 minutes later than theirs) your meal is on us!" Wow! So, we didn't use the measly 10 on the gift card.
So, last night hubby and I alone again decided to go use it yet again. We each had a burger and a drink and When receiving the check I told the waitress I had about 10 on the card and use my debit as the rest. She came back to the table and said, "Well, you actually had $60.00 on the card, so here ya go" and handed me the card and my debit back! WHAT!!!!?????
Had it magically Reloaded?
So, we had spent about 35....and now still have about 25 left on the gift card!

This is the most magically Gift Card Ever!

Peace ARch
