Holy first Wedding nightmare!

Omg - So Sat. we had very busy day - we had a gradution to go to - which by the way made my itch to get my ass back to school even more so.. so we had that and I saw so many of my old friends.. Small world.. Anyway - we got done with that and then had a surprise party to go to at 5 - I didnt have time to dress up like I had hoped because by the time I had gotten home it was 4:15 and the baby needed to eat then we needed to be there by 5:30 so we wouldn't miss the surprise - so we go to the party and we didn't leave until about 8:30ish.. I got home put Baby T down. He was exhausted so was I!! So I headed off to bed, Man oh man being in bed never felt so good.. haha..
So I dont know how my dream started out but somehow I was at my Venue Villa Siena I could see everything, the fountain the fireplace everything, but there was a problem two of my bridesmaids bailed on me the day of, there were no people in there seats except like 5 maybe. My Dress was the wrong dress and John was not John!! So I began crying and shouting that this was all wrong.. We have the dates all wrong!! I couldnt figure out what was going on. Then it shifted to an outside beach wedding and I was actally getting ready to walk to John but some "Bitch" got in front of me in MY wedding dress and was walking to John too!!! So I was like in a race to get to the altar before she did.. UGH!! it was a mess. Ya well she ended up getting there before me and I just fell to the floor crying.. and from out of no where.. My friend Kim showed up and said its okay honey - your just having a dream.. I'm like no I'm not this is really happening!!! As I was sitting there crying I could see John marrying this other chic and of course I couldnt see her stupid face!! annddddd then I woke up!!! WTF I wanted to beat this chick up.. What kinda effed up dream was that all about..
That was my first dream wedding related- since being engaged. umm 2 years ago,, haha..
Why can't wedding dreams be nice and peaceful?? so ridicuolous!!
So that was my dream - it was horrible.. and I hope I dont have another one like that ever again!!

3 Months Old




Tristan Marcus is 3 months old as of Oct 9th.. I dont know where the time is going but it sure is going fast.. Sad yes, but so fun all at the same time.. Tristan is getting so big and is soo very smart. He's so social and loves to be the center of Mommy and Daddy's heart. We started putting him in his crib about two weeks ago to see if maybe this would help him sleep through the night and the first night he slept ALL NIGHT!! I of course did not. but I was in amazement that he did so well. Since then he's been getting up only once and sometimes not at all, and I am actually getting some good sleep.. Thank you Thank you.. I love when I walk into his room in the morning to get him and the smile that comes across his face makes me melt everytime!


He is now wearing 3-6 month clothing and graduated to size 2 diapers. We have an exciting month ahead now that the holidays are upon on us.. Halloween is on the 31st and we are going to dress our little boy up to be "The Hulk". We also have his 3 month pictures with Shelly from Ivy Studios and I can not wait to do these pictures, since now Tristan has such a personalty and is smiling and giggling at everything and anyone.. :0)


Today I brought my camera to work and was playing with Tristan - He normally hates being on his belly, but I got him up on his arms and before I knew it he had rolled over.. I was amazed.. so I did it again and over he went.. So I grabbed my camera and started recording him to make sure John could get in on the action and I will share the video.. mmm if I know how to get in here??? Try this

He is getting so strong and before I know it - He's going to be crawling.. :(


So here's to turning 3 months old.. Baby Boy!!

On the wedding front.. and etc...

I've been making some progress. Eh well somewhat anyway --.. We figured out when my Bridal shower and bach party will be. the girls are all on the same page as far as ordering there dresses. I met up with one of the caterers, Great food, the other one pissed me off and stood me up basically!! So much for your "preferred vendor list" Villa Siena!! ugh..
I'm meeting with Kimmy D on Thursday to go over my invites and all the other paper products.. I sent out my STD's.. We signed the contract for the officiant and now I have Homework?!! Yep "wedding homework> Wonderful..

Theres still so much to be done.. and well 5 months to do it.. but I have my handy dandy calander I made and as long as I stick to the goals- I should be okay..

Oh and I forgot to update about my weightloss - which I was supposed to post about on Sept 24.. As of then I had lost 6 1/2 pounds.. not bad but I was hoping for more.. My goal is to lose 10 lbs by the 24th of Oct.. so that would make a total of 16lbs lost.. (I hope I can do it)!!
oh and I start working out at my brothers gym on Monday.. He surprisingly is going to train my ass!! I'm so excited because he will show no mercy and thats sooo what I need right now.. So here's to being a Buff bride and Momma!! Here I come.. Weeee......

Tristan will be 3 months old on Oct 9th.. He doesnt even seem to be 3 months, he acts so much older than that.. He seriously amazes me everyday! I love it..

Oh and I got new tattoo.. well no I "finally" finished my tattoo on my foot.. and it hurt like nobodys business.. :( . I will post pics later my camera battery is charging..

Some new photos...

Bath time.. Weeee...
All tuckered out.. heehee
UH OH!! Baby's Gotta a brand new ride!! A mustang GT baby..

Move outta the way.. Here I come..

So as you can see this is my life.. Taking pictures of Baby T, if he could talk I'm sure he would tell me to stop.. but umm I wont!!!
Anyway - Enjoy..

~2 Months Old~



Can you believe it?? My Baby Boy is 2 months old already.. I can not believe how fast time is going by. Tristan is getting so big and is turning into this little infant who makes noises, talks, coos, smiles in response to me talking to him, screams in delight and is advancing in everyway possible..


We went in for his 2 month well check and he weighs 13lbs 12 oz and is 23 1/3 in long. Yep he's a big boy with little rolls on his legs and the chubbiest cheeks, but oh man they are just so cute!!


He has the social skills of a 4 month old - which I think is fantastic and definitely takes after John in that Department. John is a big Social bug so I see where he gets it.. A typical 2 monther usually is still sleeping for most of the day and is not very active. Not Tristan. He likes to see, hear and talk back to you. He likes to be up and alert.. and lets you know when he is HUNGRY!! haha He still hates tummy time- but I make him do it like a Mommy should so he can build up his neck muscles and be my strong little man..


I look back at pictures of when he was first born and I just cant believe how big he has truely gotten. To me he's still just this little baby that I just had..


As for me.. I'm doing okay.. i'm tired. Tristan hasnt gotten down the sleeping through the night and I wish he would. i could use a few more hours of shut eye to function correctly, but I'm managing the best I can.. John is a big help but I obviously do the brunt of all the work.. I'm the MOM. and thats just what I do.. So I'm on a mission to lose weight and I need to before me wedding so thats going okay as well..


Other than that - heres some new Pics of my Love bug..

Hi.. Ho.. Back to work I go...

Yep- My 8 weeks of vacation, maternity leave is up!!! I go back to work tomorrow and hopefully with a smile on my face because I am NOT looking forward to returning.. Luckily though I get to take my little peanut with me (Tristan). Today I went into work and CLEANED the crap out of our office and showroom. It's EMACULATE!!! I left my house at 930 this morning and didnt get home until 3 pm!!! Yea that was like a full day of work.. but the fruits of my labor paid off and now I can return to a pretty clean office!!
My brothers better say THANK YOU!! Oh well if they dont but Whew.. I've never sweated my ass off soo much.. That was one good workout I will admit!!
I'm tired thats for sure and now my back and feet as well..

So like I said Hi HO.. off to work I go.. Wish me luck I can drag myself and Baby T outta bed and make it to work on time tomorrow!!! HA! I will let ya know on that part.

Hope everyone had a good weekend otherwise..

Tommorrow is the DAY!!!

Oh yea.. Its D- Day... Diet Day that is.. So I have had this date set in my head for over a month as to when I was going to start this diet .. and it's here!! So I went grocery shopping and I made a list of everything I need.. Healthy stuff of course.. Man I was so tempted to buy those dang Chips ahoy - they were calling my name from like 3 ailses away.. :( I could have cried.. but I by- passed them and said NO!! Wedding dress - wedding dress.. I've already started walking with John and started Jogging alittle - but I need to get back into it big time.. When I was running last year i lost abt 10lbs in one month not to mention I was eating healthy.. So I know I can do it.. I'm gonna do it!!! I;m nursing baby T as well so thats gotta help me out some too!! and maybe with me eating better foods his Acid reflux will go away!! I hope so I hate that he spits up so much.. Poor thing..

Anyway - I'm actually excited that I'm starting my diet tomorrow..

So here we goooo.... weeeee...

I will update on weight lost each month and my progress... Wish me luck!!!
