Friday, February 22, 2008

today reminded me of one of my saddest moments when i was pregnant... after just finding out, i went to this store up in gainesville next to babies r us and stride rite bc through the window i could see cribs and pastel colors. well i walked in and saw the most beautiful cribs and amours and i got brochures andd price sheets and went home all excited. i got home and looked at all the collections. just for the dresser it cost near $1000. i had never been so dissappointed with myself and i was so worried with what my future and my baby's future would bring. i sat in my living room crying hysterically and took all those papers and just ripped them up hoping that awful moment when i felt worthless would just dissappear.
as j is 8 months now he's grown out of his car seat and its time for a new one. today was pay day so i was so excited to go get him one by myself. i went to baby love and honestly i felt like my heart was ripped out and placed in the pit of my stomach. those car seats were the safest ones but there was no way i could afford them. as the salesman was talking i felt so overwhelmed with safety features and details and at the same times so demoralized at realizing i cant get it for j, i just cant afford it. it made me so sad. its unexplainable. this random pain in my stomach and just wanting to cry. ifelt guilty for just having bought lunch yesterday. idk, its stupid david says (thanks to him making me laugh and telling me it'll be ok im getting over my saddness) and imean i understand his point, thats why not everyone can buy couture clothing etc, but it just feels like a suck majorly. it reminds me that i couldnt put j in mommy and me class again as much as i loved it. it reminds me that j doesnt have his own room, it reminds me that everytime i go out and have to buy something i dont even decide if i like something before i look at the price. i just hate it. i hate this feeling. i just hate it! iknow ihave to be positive, things could be worse. but right now i just feel like crying and w/e. bye.

Sippy cups!
Thursday, February 21, 2008

Well i knew there was a reason i subscribed to those parenting magazines lol. Not for the important health and safety articles but for the what's hot section lol jk. But really reading my march edition it showed avent's sippy cup training pack. I love it bc i already use those bottles and they made it so i can just switch the top part and also the attachable handles which he already likes and i won't have to get a bunch of new cups and j is already familiar with the bottles... But my favorite thing is that since i have the avent pump it'll make giving him breastmilk easier bc there will be no need in transfering from one cup to another. This is important to me bc althoug i don't want to nurse past one year if i can i'd like to keep giving him my milk bc of all the nutrients and benefits and antibodies!! Especially since he'll be starting day care. And knock on wood so far just a runny
nose!

So here's life...
Monday, February 18, 2008

ok quick run through...

J's got a cold... poor little guy has boogers galore! no fever, just BOOGERS, but the worst part is, he doesnt like them wiped when he sees a tissue or wipe, he quickly uses his hands which gets them everywhere. im not sure if im using the aspirator correctly (i even called the pediatrician to ask, lol). so after like 5 days of boogies and breathing issues during feedings and sleep, im going to a pediatrician appt tomorrow (eh if he says all is ok, its another chance to see dr hottie! =] lol jk)

after going to the gi like 2 weeks ago, he had me go get j some lab work done which we did today (o yes its presidents day, so no school/work) he was such a brave little boy. i was expecting them to draw blood from his feet like they have done, but negative, he got blood drawn like grown people do, and his little veins are hard to see through that all that chunk! they did it twice and he was such a trooper. i'd tell him not to look, well i think it was more for me, bc i couldnt look, i already had to hold him down and tight so he wouldnt move. he just kept looking up at the man (who was very nice and talked to j trying to calm him the whole time).

tomorrow we got one more xray and then we wait till our appointment with the GI again to tell me ahta all is fine. i was reading one of the papers he gave me and he has diagnosed hirschsprung disease, i looked it up and im praying thats not it. im also like 60% positive it cant be, bc of the symptoms, J doesnt have them...

J's 8 months now, and hes trying to crawl, but negative he does this rocking motion, is very successful at going backwards and my favorite he does pushups! honestly, he does. it's hillarious!!!! I keep trying to get a picture, but to no avail. Tomorrow when i see the Pediatrician i can ask how i can get j to go forwards. He's eating just fine, he's kinda moved up a little from baby food, he likes pasta, chicken and steak! lol and hes a total pro with cheerios!!!

on his social skills... j's got tons of personality! he's a total goofball, look at him and 85% of the time, hes totally cheesing!!! he's alsao using those lungs greatly with screams and screatches and loud talking ! he knows how to get your attention, he knows how to tap you when he wants something. he still does the excited wrist thing, lol but my new favorite is he knows how to tell u NO by shaking his head (but he laughs everytime i say "como asi q' no".... its adorable for now, but im sure once he really understands the meaning i wont be too happy. lol. j also knows new words, hes got mama down and now even does them in different tones depending on if hes sad, sleepy, or just happy. he says nene, tete (for tetero, which is bottle/milk) este ( i dont know why but my mom has taught him that) and he calls my mom papa, lol, (why again, no clue!).

He's also learned to be clingy and it means more hugs for me when i drop him off to my mom b4 going to work, but my fav is the exited J when i come home. nothing makes me feel better about coming home than that loud excited shriek, then hands going torwards me and the huge grin!

that's j's life in a nutshell, lol

as for me...

im doing well in school, sometimes a little hard to do hw and play with J, he likes the laptop, lol. plus i still cant stand writing essays and speeches, thats totally my kryptonyte. (u wouldnt think it after this LONG ASS POST, lol). schools also fun, we talk a little more in class now. we have interesting debates. the only thing is now im thinking i have to do 2 years down here, id be starting over with my social work major anyways thanks to my school transfer, so, im considering changing majjors. david says do teaching... i dont know its a possibility, but how about marketing, or advertising, or something else totally different, lol. idk, ill keep u and myself posted, lol.

then theres work, cant complain, i love working at dpc! totally. i also got a second job as a "server" now i guess thats pc for waitress, lol, w/e. its okay, the people there seem really nice, plus its like my one chance to see people my age. and its extra money for things like diapers, a new carseat an stroller and o yeah more diapers, and bills, and hopefully by the time thats all done, ill have enough to change up my hair like ive been wanting to, get nails done, bc i think itll look pretty, and hopefully taht will all come b4 i gotta pay for j's preschool enrollment, which is definitely a bitch!!!! he starts in august! he'll be in the barney room!!!! im excited, im all for preschool, he'll only be there a little part of the day and probably not every day, but he'll be with other little monstritos!!!!

things with Him are odd, he's confusing, and im over it. hes stubborn, wont change, wont even try plus he's never leaving gville, and im never going back so its just j and me and its been that way for 8 months and we're good, alive and j is happy =]

also, ive decided, when i get a chance, lol that im going out and looking for new people. i need to. i kinda know what i want, well at least i know what i dont want, lol. ive also started going back to my old physical me, no more maternity clothes for me!! i can fit in some of my ol clothes!!!! so yay! seriously... big YAY!!! plus i must be smiling more, bc i get people smiling at me, and that feels great. i also kinda like the random myspace guys (who are probably just trying to mack, but w/e) saying hi or calling me beautiful, it feels nice, havent gotten that in a while!!!

my next big thing is kinda like one thats distant, but id like to move out. lol. i dk i miss my own home. but at the same time i know its really not feasible, a) its up the ass expensive b) id probably still be at my moms/pops house every day bc a) they help me with J, b) ill probably be over for dinner c)ill get kinda lonely until j can walk and talk d)who would i argue with, lol. so yeah its still on my mind, but for the distant future.

things with the family are... well they are going... lol
mom and me still get on each others nerves, david steps up as the greatest big bro/friend/uncle/godfather EVERY DAY!, and daddy and me are working in the same place, so maybe now he'll talk more, even though hes my boss, lol. and as far as our big plan... its in the works, hopefully we'll get a move on it pronto... for everyone!


lol, yeah so it wasnt that quick of a run through, but super quick considering i kinda smushed the past 2 months in one post, lol... but now what will i talk about tomorrow? lol

Rubber Ducky!!!!!!!!
Thursday, February 14, 2008

So J got a new bathtub... he's kinda outgrown the typical baby tub. It's an inflatible rubber ducky tub and i must say pretty cool!

We showed it to him first and put him in it after blowing it up to give it like a test run... i must admit kinda scared. Then we filled it up and got him ready for bath time. The first like 30 seconds were kinda sketchy, he was holding on to the ends tight as if holding on for dear life....



...but then it was on, and J was all smiles and splashes! We did bath time till he passed the prunny test!

Happy valentine's day!!

I think this has been my favorite valentines day to date. I honestly really enjoy what i do. I really like working in a preschool! I wished they paid better..... Way better but It's fun. My favorite thing though hands down has got to be a hug from the kids or an i love you miss helena. But even more i love when a parent comes and tells me that their child loves me that they talk about me all the time at home. It makes me feel great! I remember having those teachers that really cared and that i also liked so i'm glad i'm one of those! For valentines day my little ones got me roses both real and chocolate ones. Candy. A fondue kit (which is cool bc i've never had it before) home made cup cakes and cards. To me it's not important what i get. Honestly i just love feeling appreciated and that the parents do really thank us for being with their children. I don't know but today is a happy day!
So hugs and kisses and thank you's and hugs and smiles really do go a long way!!

We got a dog for the weekend!!!
Friday, February 1, 2008

J's going to be extatic when he wakes up! He likes dogs, he prefers the fluffy kind u can squish (but not really, bc the dog then runs away) but the Jack Russel Terrier will be just fine.

So let me give u some back history on my story this morning.

I got this teddy bear once from HIM that he won at the fair or something i think while i was pregnant... awww.... cute.... ok w/e... gag. then I've been meaning to put it in the trash bc thats the last thing i had of his, but it was in the attic. We finally took it down when we put the christmas stuff back up. My mom says no dont throw it away, so its been downstairs. But this morning I wake up, and I go take the dog out for a walk, I come in, I see the bag, and I guess Jaxx doesn't like HIM very much either, bc he PEED on it!!!!

I'm seriously LMAO!!!

They do say dogs can smell people and tell if they like them or not... maybe thats why coco kept eating his shoes! jk. Coco actually liked him. But that was a whole different person back then.
