Beat up by my 3 Year old!

Yea literally!!  T broke my nose!!  On Sunday night, we were doing our nightly routine and he likes to lay in our bed before going to bed. So as I'm getting him settled in and I sit on the bed, a flying head comes back and straight up hits me right in my nose!!  It hurt so bad, that I flew back, called for John and I could here T crying. John came in to find me laying back holding my face and grabbed T who was crying and asked me if I was ok, I couldn't honestly speak the pain that radiated through out my face was the worse pain I have ever felt, of course I started crying and John was trying to make sure I didn't pass out on him by talking to me, which I wanted nothing to do with talking.  When John got T settled he came over to me to see if I was ok, luckily I wasn't bleeding and I got up to check out the damage. From what I could see, there was nothing there, and John really couldn't tell either. He did however try to grab at it and see if he could feel and I think I almost whacked him in the face. So painful!! So I got ice and iced it for awhile took some good ole Tylenol since that's all I can take. It swelled up pretty good, and the throbbing was ridiculous. I have never been hit in my face before let alone broken anything. So this pain was new.
Next morning I wake up and I still can;t really tell, I have some swelling and mild bruising under my eyes, that honestly just look like bags from no sleep.  I walked into work and with in two seconds of my brothers looking at me they immediately were like WTF happened to your nose. Yep good indicator shits broken!
I made an appt with my PCP, and as soon as she walked in, she was like "oh, ohhhh",  Hmm doesn't sound so promising.  She tells me its definitely broken, but where? it could be be broken in 1- 2 or 3 places.. Awesome. I can't have an xrays so she sends me to ENT that specializes in the Nose department.
I see him, and before even bringing me into the room, he saw me come in and looked at me and said Oh yea he did some damage(my son that is)  Promising!! Way to let me down easy!!
So he came in took a look, pulled and tugged and I wanted to punch him!! Said I broke it at the very top of my nose as well as the bottom.. I don't know much about noses, I realize you can break it, there's cartilage in there etc, but apparently from the way T hit me, it was straight on and high, not like a punch to the nose.
He told me there was nothing he could do until after I have M. and by that he meant surgery!!  So I will be having surgery one week after I have M.  If M comes on his own like I so want him to, I can move the date up, if I go in for my scheduled Csection than I go in on the 16th..
Who would have ever thought a 3 year old could do this much damage?? Not me, that's for sure!!
This all happened so fast, that I don't even remember, how, what or why?  I didn't even have time to move, or get out of the way!!

I swear I can't catch a break with my pregnancies. Both of them have never gone smoothly.
With M, I have had Preterm labor, an accident, and now this.
With T, I had swelling, high blood pressure and a csection that caused me to stay in the hospital for 4 1/2 days along with a blood transfusion!!  Oiiiii

So now I get to rock a crooked nose for about 3 weeks, i am so hoping M makes his appearance sooner than later, so I can get this done and over with..

This is the aftermath, My BIL took this picture yesterday so I could see what they were all seeing, because I really couldn't see it just looking in the mirror..

Horrible picture, but you can see how swollen my face is and my poor nose. =(

Its been boring lately....

I apologize now for the boringness that has taken over my blog..  I'm really not this boring in real life.

Lots of things have been going on, that have thrown me for a loop, and trying to get back into this "new" normal is a little weird.  I find it so weird that after T goes down for the night, I'm no longer rushing to the kitchen table to study or the computer to type up reports. I find myself sitting my pregnant ass on the couch and flipping through channels. SO WEIRD!!!   Its nice don't get me wrong. The first few nights I was like this just isn't right, but as I get used to it, I'm liking it.  I know I know, ENJOY IT NOW.. While I can.. =)

This month and next month and well every month after that is going to be crazy busy with events.

This month is my baby shower on the 25th, we are also going up north June 11th, June 18th is my Maternity pics which I'm semi looking forward to, my whale of an ass being photographed FUN!!  Did I mention we have been potty training T?  Yea that's for another post..

Then July brings T's 3rd Birthday on the 9th, July 23rd I'm hosting my Bf's Baby Shower and the 30th is one of our close friends Twin Baby shower, in which my husband will be hosting a Diaper Party for the daddy to be.

August- Well that brings the baby, and hopefully he will make his appearance on the 9th preferably, if not maybe the 6th?  I don't know I just hope he doesn't take up residence to long after his due date.  Then, brings my sweet sweet Maternity Leave and I am beyond excited about!!   I'm off for about 8-9 weeks. I will be working from home a little bit, since our biz is family run and I'm the office manager, i am the only one who knows how to do the payroll and all the taxes as well as sales/city taxes.  I don't mind though, because I can work from home and make a single trip in to drop off checks and check on things.

I have a few posts I need to get on:
*Baby M's Room-Final Product
*T's final product of a bedroom
*Our Master Bedroom, I totally forgot to take before pics, I will take Middle pics
*Potty Training T
*T's 3rd Birthday- Planning and the final product
*My Bf's Shower, Planning and the final product

Some Good Happenings going on around here.

T went to his first Diamond Backs Baseball game with my Brother in law and my Sister, My BIL is really into Baseball and so is all of his boys, he has 3 and one girl. So they decided to take T with them.  He loved it!!!  He now carries around a glove and ball where ever he goes, sleeps with it and by all means DO not take that away from him!!  So instead of the big brute football player I was expecting, I think I may have a baseball player on my hands. To early to tell, but by the looks of it when we go to my nephews baseball games T sits contently and watches every move!!


My sister forgot her camera so they used their Iphones, Not a great pic. But T definitely had a great time with his Cousins. 

Also,  last week was rough. T was sick with some sorta stomach bug. He threw up Wednesday night, but seemed fine so the next morning off to daycare he went. She said he seemed fine his diaper was dome what runny. So than Friday morning we woke up and he told me his tummy hurt. So I told him to go sit on the couch and relax, which he did only to me coming out to find that he had SHIT allover himself and the couch. I felt so bad for him and all he said was sorry Mommy.. Aww I told him he didn't need to be sorry, he had an accident.  So cute! So I stayed home and got him into the Dr's and they tested him for Rota virus, which he tested positive for. So we had a pretty "shitty" week last week.Literally 

This week, I had one of my Final Practicals and for once I got a 91 on it. I am on cloud nine.  I have a final exam next Thursday which I'm dreading, but so glad and happy to be done with this class!  I have a Chemistry class I'm taking and everyone including myself think I'm crazy. but I have to! I have to get this last class in so I can get on the wait list for Nursing. It sucks but it has to be done.

We finally got T's decals up, just of the monster trucks and sadly one of the big ones already fell like 2 days after we put it up, so this weekend we are going to load it up with tacky and stick it back on the wall. If that doesn't work we may have to go by plexiglass and mount it to that. I will have a separate picture post on that stuff. His room, is I would say 95% done. I'm still waiting to order the dirt bike decals, just to see how the other one hold up, we have one more shelf I have to install, but I have to go to Ikea to purchase a matching one for the others. 
The baby's room, pshhh has been pushed off and looks like a mess. I tried to put away everything, and get things organized but lets be honest. I have no motivation!!

and that brings me to this week.  I had my Glucose test.  YAY I passed with great numbers she said, but I did not pass my hemoglobin. Your supposed to be in the 12 or higher levels and when i went in for my first screening I was at an 11 they said just to take my prenats and I should be fine. Well this time I went in and I tested at a 9.1. So now I know why I have been so lethargic that last few weeks especially this last week.  I have to get on Iron pills and these suckers are messing with my tummy!!  I have always had a pretty low hemoglobin count, and it plummeted while I was in the hospital with T. I really don't want to go through that again. So I will be making sure to take my iron and eat more iron enriched foods. 

School Sucks. Pregnancy Brain at its finest.

Never thought I would say that! Especially now that I'm older and its not high school. 

Buttt It sucks and I hate this class. I bombed my Practical 3, which I really honestly thought I would have scored really high. I studied my ass off and knew it!! How I got a 64 is besides me??  I'm no longer upset or have tears to cry (because those don't help my grade), but I'm pissed off!!  I'm mad and angry!!
We have 3 more tests, 2 of which are lecture exams and one more practical. These next three tests I have to nail to get a passing grade, I was hoping to at least get a B in this class, it looks as if I'm going to have to settle for a C. Which is not okay in my book, but at this point it is what it is.

One of my friends, pointed something out to me that I really never even thought of.  "Pregnancy Brain", I used to just think it was a silly saying people would say when you did something silly or weird or you forgot something that you normally wouldn't, can't focus.  I'm going to have to say this is by far my problem, I may have to use this excuse of Pregnancy brain, Its me.. my brain is not functioning.  I rocked my last 2 classes, I wasn't pregnant, this class I am having the hardest time in, and i shouldn't be, I love science especially Anatomy and Physiology. Its fun, its intriguing to me.

So I have no other excuse but to put some blame on my pregnancy brain. and most of the blame on the fact that I have either lost my motivation, have way to many things going on within my life (pregnancy, T, planning for baby, planning for T's b-day party, home projects, work crap) Its alot.    

So after this last class, and after I take my Chm class this summer, I am done for awhile. I will hopefully be on the wait list for nursing by then and then I'm taking a break to get my mind back. I have 3 co reqs I have to take before actually getting into the Nursing program that they require. The wait list right now is 18-24 months.  Yea I will be taking at least a year off. I need to recoup and get my shit together!!   SUCKS!!
I'm bummed, I'm pissed, I'm confused!! 

All that I ask, is that I pass this Bio class and i  pass my Chm class so I can apply for the Nursing Program. That's all.. =)

*Mother Feck myself*

I've been using this term a lot lately!! Not gonna Lie it feels good to scream it out! Even if it is - ya know to myself!!
So like I said I had a Dr's appt on Tues, It went Great. I guess.. Baby M is great, Kicking up a storm even the Dr. was able to the feel the action, Quite funny actually. Its like he knows when someone is messing around with the Bell-ah.. He kicked her right where she put the Doppler.. Feisty little thing!
I also got yelled at,  lets not sugar coat this.. I'm up another 8lbs.  WTF Pull my hair out are you kidding me!! Yea thats more than likely what came out of my mouth when she told me.  Anyway- ladies and gents that puts me up 20lbs!!  UMMMM Problem I am ONLY 23 Weeks prego here!! This causes some problems, maybe not for M in total, but for my own well being!!  I have 17 weeks to go and 17 more ish pounds to gain, and umm Yea you get my drift here!! I am not thrilled about this AT ALL!!
So I was a bit disappointed to say the least when I left.  I realize it was the end of the day, I'm bloated etc etc, but EIGHT POUNDS!!!  Feck my life Literally!!   My goals are about to change, I can't exactly fast, because then I starve myself and my kid and I'm not that mean and lets face it I like food.
But my kitchen pantry and fridge are about to get an overhaul-  I can't gain any more weight this month.. I was told to maintain, or at least try. 
I hate being the fatty prego,  I wonder if some people look at my belly and wonder.. "is she prego? or just fat?" Shoot I sometimes wonder!!  I'm super self conscious as it is,  I don't rock shorts, because I hate my legs, I wear capris or pants. Yep even in 120 degree weather,wonderful Az has to offer.
Which brings me to another fuck myself moment. Yesterday I was trying to be more, Who cares about what I look like, Its hot I need some shorts or skirts to get me through the summer, so I went to Old Navy and found some capris and a pair of shorts, well bermuda style shorts, not short shorts cause God who really wants to see the cellulite these legs have to offer, Not I.. so I got them on, cute, okay I can rock these, ok turn around and my mother effing spider vein that  I received as a present when I was prego with T has come back with a vengeance and has now spread and is Nice and PURPLE!! Its right behind my knee on my right leg, its pretty NASTY!   I can't WIN!!!!  Ugghhh  So that was a wrap!!
I got a few shirts, and tanks that hopefully will accentuate the prego belly and not the back rolls, with some left over fat that got pushed to the sides of my hips. =)  I'll let you know how that goes.

On to some Positives:  
I will be posting After photos of our casa Freshly painted.
T and  I planted a Garden 2 weekends ago and I totally forgot to blog about this, it is on my 101 and I'm quite proud of our little garden. It sprouted some leaves and vines. We are growing cucumbers and tomatoes. I don't know why we got tomato's I don't even like them. But cucumbers.. YUM.. So we have to transfer them to a bigger pot since they are incubated in a little plastic thing for starters. =)  Who knew I had a green thumb.. Well kinda.  =)
We also received T's Decals and I'm waiting to put them up, since I have been told to wait 30 days to put anything on the walls that were just painted.  I hope this works.

Other than that, Work is killing me, School is literally kicking my ass!!   I have 5 more weeks of this class then its onto Chemistry Kill me NOW.. 5 week course during summer, I think I have lost my mind!!   T is a handful, but I can't get enough of him!! Brightens my day right up!!

A few NEW things

First off:     Baby M kicked the other day and what I mean by kicked is, I saw it through my shirt and sat and watched as he continually kicked and then about 2 minutes later got into a comfy position and and didn't feel him again until later. Seriously best moment ever!  I love this part in pregnancy. When I can see and feel him moving around gives me the relief that everything is good in there. He reminds me of a puppy though, when they circle around and around there beds a million times just to find that comfy spot. That's what it feels like in my belly. Since that day, I have noticed his movements a lot more and I can tell what is what just by the  kicks and hits. I know he is head down, the little flutters I feel are head, elbows and hands, the big hard hits are the ones I can see through my shirt and are definitely his Football legs. 

Other happenings, that I have been posting about is T and M's rooms, I'm waiting on T's room decal to get here before I order M's decal, just to make sure the decals will at least work on the walls we currently have, if not we have to make some adjustments or not.. Who knows.. I started going through everything we have left over from T as far as baby items. It needed to be done and I probably should have waited and studied instead of gone through all the cuteness we have in store for baby M. I went through the clothes, I was handed back down from my sis that I gave to her for when she had her son, most if not all is to big for the first months, but perfect for the seasons. So that works out. I also went through the loads of stuff I have been buying. Seriously I can't help myself. I could almost tell myself that buying boy stuff is just as fun if not funner than buying girl stuff, but I would be lying to myself. I lie I must. =)

As of today the outside of our house will be completed minus the landscaping, I am so thrilled. We have a new roof, we will have a fresh coat of new paint with new colors to match the roof. Its such a great feeling to be done with this chapter. We have some work left to do on the outside, but that is mainly landscaping. Which will come soon enough.. Hopefully

So lots going on, lots of changes and new things happening. With all the stress and chaos, I'm loving it. I like Change, and I love new things!!  =)

*Is this thing on??!!*

Oiii, I think everything and I mean everything is literally or not so literally catching up to me in more ways than I would like..
School is kicking my butt, I am motivated to go, but its not the same motivation I once felt before I was pregnant. Now its just a motivation to get the Eff done and get out with whatever passing grade I can get.
Which before, I wouldn't have settled for less than a B. Now, I brought my standards down, way down. like C ish.. =/  Its passing right!!  Anyway- its extremely hard to focus with all the plans and things we have going on at our house, T's birthday party planning, Nursery preparations, finishing T's room, our house the outer part is getting painted finally, its just one long NEVER ending to do list and its slowly making progress of things getting marked off which is nice, but every time one thing gets marked off another thing is added. KILL ME!!
I only have 2 months left of school :can you see huge smile: I am thrilled with this, but wait then I have 5 weeks of more school which is Chemistry and then I AM DONE!!  I really thought I would have more motivation to get  done, but right now all I want to do is focus on getting our house done, take T to do things, like to the park, to the Zoo etc. Instead I have to plan around when my next test is, make sure I have him in bed by 8-830 so I can study. (that's his normal time anyway) but it sucks. I'm in a guilty phase of life right now, that i feel the need to spoil the living crap out of him before baby M comes and disturbs this thing we have going on. (not literally people) Spoil I mean, spend every second I can with him, doing fun things.

On another note: we made tons of progress this weekend with T's room as well as M's Nursery.  I'm excited to share some pics, but I have to make some "Me" time to do so and "me" time hardly exists, unless I'm peeing by myself, or lock myself in my room, which I end up having a follower ten seconds later.. So that doesn't work.  
I'm hoping I can get some uploaded tonight and possibly share. =) 

Can you believe I am halfway to the finish line, I feel like some days its taking forever, not that I need it to be rushed or anything, but then others I look at my belly and wonder where the hell it came from. "It grew so fast", I tell myself. I can only imagine what 30+ week is going to look like.. Oiii..

HAPPY TUESDAY!!! 

Disney Land and some other stuff..

WE are GOING TO DISNEY LAND!!  I couldn't be more excited and happy about this. T really has no clue! None.. He knows we are going, we have been talking about it, but he keeps telling me we are going to see Monster Trucks.. Not so much Kiddo.
John has a car show that he goes to every year in Cali, so I decided to lets just bang this last trip for us in that same weekend, which also happens to be my Spring Break!! Umm PERFECT!! 
So John is leaving Sat, with all of his club members. T and I have a B-day Party to hit up on Sat along with some last minute errands to run and then Sunday we are heading up to the Show - its about 5 hrs away. We plan to pick John up in Lake Perris and then head out to Anaheim which is about another hour. Monday we head to Disney Land!!  I simply just can not wait!!  This will be our last family trip as 3 and I definitely wanted it to be special!! What better way to do that, than by going to the "happiest place on earth?"
I plan to be the paparazzi with T, and take in every single moment with him!! 

Before this trip though, I have to get ready for my 2nd Practical for this Anatomy Class and its on all the muscles, I seriously want to give up sometimes, but I just keep pushing. I have to get a C or better on this Practical. Right now I am averaging a 75.6 in this class, UNACCEPTABLE to me!!  I also have an article that is due on Friday worth 50 points, so I'm hoping for some good grades to leave with. That would absolutely make my weekend!!

After this weekend though, we will be starting T's new room remodel. I'm pretty excited.  Some new paint, some Monster trucks, dirt bikes and a big boy bed!! Yep T is movin on up to a BIG BOYS Room!!  =)  Lots of work ahead for us, but well worth it. After that we start in n the Baby's Nursery!!
I never realized how much work goes into having two kids, and yet one is still baking, not even here yet!! Sheesh..

Busy Weekend

Wow, what a crazy busy weekend we had, and to be honest I feel like we didn't get anything done or really do anything.

Sat. We had about 5 birthday parties we were invited to. Yea that wasn't about to happen. So I chose to only go to two and unfortunately only made it to one.  It was super windy and rainy here this weekend. So being outside and running around with T is not my thing. 

My Nephew and his cousin turned ONE this weekend. They are 3 days apart. So neat!!
So since I'm working on my photography skills, I brought my nifty camera and started shooting away!
I got some really great shots.  So here is a few pics I took and edited myself.. I'm still a beginner so don't get to crazy with the criticism.

Sunday-  I was busy studying for  Exam #2 that's on Tues.   Hopefully I can rock this exam and breathe easy for another week or so, because after this exam its Practical #2 and we all know how I did on Practical #1..
If you don't - I did HORRIBLE!!  =( 

Anyway - I had a great weekend, I do wish we could slow down some and do stuff around our house and do things together. Right now its just hectic.. We will get there. =)

What a WeEk!!!

Let me just start off by saying this week has royally sucked balls. Starting with Monday night and hasn't ended yet- its Friday 3pm and still I would like to throat punch quite a few people around me!!

First off lets start with my chi chi- Sox.  He's my baby, I have had him since he was a little bitty puppy and he's just the most adorable annoying little dog ever!!  So the past 3-4 weeks he's been hacking I took him to the vet and they took xrays (can't be good). Well he has an enlarged heart along with a hurt murmur which is causing the hack, which is pretty normal in smaller dogs!! Awesome right!  Sox is 10 will be 11 this year.  The vet said its really no biggie - he gave us meds and sent us on our way. Bring me to Monday night-While I'm laying in bed I hear sox making the most awful of hacks and I look over at him and the poor thing is having a hard time breathing in between hacks.. so I get down and see if he's ok, talk to him etc.  I watched him for about 15-20 min and his breathing was not returning to normal, I could feel his heart beating so fast!! So I hurried and grabbed Sox's blanket and told John to find an emergency vet.  I found one. I headed there and the entire time I just kept telling sox, please don't die on me please please please..  He didn't thankfully- We got to the E-vet and they took him back right away.
Next thing I know I have a huge estimate slammed in my face and a Vet telling me what all could be wrong with sox. $1500 estimate!!  Oiiiii..  Look I love my dog and I have spent 1500 + on my Dog before, actually it was Sox that I had to spend that money on but, I just don't have that kind of money to shell out.  So I told the Vet look we already know he has a heart condition, take xrays, give him the shot he needs and put him in oxygen.  She did but kept pushing that he should stay the night- I don't want him to stay there. and I definitely don't want him there if he's going to die on me. I want him home with us. I told her basically to get him stable and I was taking him home.
4 am and 6 hrs  later I am on my way home- By the way did I mention I was to start school that morning?? Oh yes, I was supposed to start and I had no idea how this was going to happen, Oh and did I also mention that at midnight I get a text from my husband telling me that T has a fever!!  FUCKING AWESOME!!! 
Now can you see what a week I have been dealing with.. oiiii

To make a long story short.. Sox is fine. I took him to our regular vet and he said he was really happy that I didn't allow the E-vets to run all the tests and crap they had wanted to, there was absolutely no need to!! YAY Me.  They upped his meds and put him on another one to help with his heart murmur/pumping action. today he is back to his self, being mean and bossy!! Perfect.

So I basically got 2-3 hrs of sleep - went to school all day, came home - took sox back to vet, went and grabbed T who luckily was feeling better and John was able to break his fever. Lets just say, our bedtime that night was extremely Early! I slept like a rock and it was amazing!!

Then I come to work and have to deal with my wonderful most awesome family!!  (I am being purely sarcastic here)  this is why I go to school so I can get the fuck out of dodge.  Working with family has its perks, believe me I'm going to miss them when I get a grown up job, but seriously I can't take this anymore.
I want to throat punch one person in particular..  I wont go into anymore detail, because who knows who reads this.. and I really shouldn't care, but I need this job for the time being..  I would like to kill myself every day that I am here.  Its that bad, that dysfunctional, that fucked up!!! 

So that has been my awesome week!!  Please say a prayer that I don't go absolutely insane. I can not wait to get out of here and start my weekend..

HAPPY FRIDAY!!! 

Few updates..

School is officially done!!  Can you see this ginormous smile across my face?  Because really you should see it!! 
I scored an 80 on my final and finished my class with a 85 for the semester.. I have to say I'm pretty proud of myself!1 For someone who never excelled in school it makes me happy to know that I can actually do it and I enjoyed doing it!!  Now I have 2 more classes.. Bio 201 and my Chemistry class to take, once those are done I can get on the Wait list for Nursing.. =) 

Pregnancy is going great. I will be 7 weeks on Saturday. It seems like its gone by pretty fast. I'm excited for our appt on the 29th. I can't wait to see our little peanut. Its going to be weird this time because with T I was 6 weeks when I got my first U/S this time I will be 8 weeks.  2 weeks more worth of growth.  Its funny how much you forget about being pregnant, until you are. I thought I would be more prepared this time but I still feel like a lost puppy.  I find myself getting overwhelmed because of everything we need to accomplish. I realize we have 8 months but 6 of those months I will be in school and I know its going to fly by.
We have to switch T - to his new room but not before we need to paint and set up that room, which by the way is a disaster!!  I have thrown everything in that spare room so it looks like a bomb went off..  Then we basically have to wait until we find out what we are having so we can start deciding on Nursery stuff.   If we have a girl I will be repainting the entire room. and if we have a boy we are going to leave some of the mural.
So  its going to be hectic. Man, I can't even begin to imagine the hectic-ness that is going to become in our house.. ick!!

We leave in 5 days for Colorado I'm super excited!!  I'm not very excited about the 9 hour drive but, it has to be done.  I'm hoping they will get a fresh snowfall before we get there which looking at the weather its looks as though that will happen and then sunny and great while we are there!!  PERFECT!! I was freaking out about driving through snow storms and storms at that.
I'm getting the last of all the items we need and shoot they are hard to come by.. Especially at Target/ walmart- no one in Az wears thermal underwear so  I have had the hardest time finding these items. As well as snow boots for T..   

That's the updates for now.  I will post some recent pics when I can.  Its going to be a busy 2 weeks.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

School, Babies and the rest..

Just some updates..

T is AWESOME.. I know I say that A LOT..  He is though.. He is 28 Months Old. Or 2 however you would want to see it..
He talks like its going out of style, but hearing him talk is amazing. Its so weird to hear his sweet voice. He has a great 2 year old attitude. He tells me what to do.. Gotta love him..
Just a little of T. oh and he calls me "Mom" not "Mommy"  WTF?? 

T: "Mom, come play mono, you wanna come play me?'
Me: "Sure T, lets go play but hold on let me grab some water."
T: " Now, mom..Come on.  Play mono's. Go in my room."
(Mono's are motorcycles, were he got mono's from I have no idea) Its secret language I suppose

He yells at the dogs constantly.. We used to say SHUT UP.. but because T caught on to that Quick, we have to watch what we say..
We now say be quiet..

He says: "Be quiet (ki it) kane, be quiet indy.. shhhhh"

He kills me with the new things he learns everyday.. Sometimes I just have to sit and stare at him like when did you learn that, and sheesh your really talking in complete sentences!! 

He sucks at eating though.. For someone who was 97% percentile and up his entire first year of life in the weight dept, is weird to me.. I know he is changing and busy, really busy with playing and such. He just has no desire to eat. Especially in the morning. The mornings are a battle..
We make his food, he sits at  the table and he looks at his food like eh..  and he will sit there the ENTIRE time and not touch it. I have to physically go over and feed my 2 year old kid just to make sure he has something anything in his stomach.
He doesn't drink milk, he hates it. We try all the time to give it to him. Nothing.Wont touch it!! 
I hope this is  just a phase because really I hate it!!
K (our daycare provider) says he does great at lunch.
Dinner comes around and he does pretty good, but again I have to sit there and make sure he's eating. not all the time but I would say 85% of the time.. Gahhhhh it SUCKS!!!!! 
Sleeping he is AWESOME!!
We took down one of the rails on his crib and turned it into a toddler bed. He goes straight to bed when we say. Which is right around 830 pm.   He sleeps until 7 every morning, sometimes 630am
Nap times are still the same.. He goes down at about 1230-1 and sleeps until about 4.
Shoot he tells us when he's tired.. haha  Kid cracks me up!!
 I am truly blessed, even on the days he is giving me hell.

Babies..  Yep they are on the brain.. now more than ever.. I am ready..soooo ready. I'm excited to start trying. I am off my BC  - just decided to go ahead with out it and get in some good practice.  ;)
I've come to terms with the fact that I'm going to have another boy, so I have been looking at boy themes and boy bedding and boy names. 

School:
I am actually really proud of myself..  I am doing exceptionally well in my classes.  I took Math in the summer and finally passed it!! With a B at that.. 
The class I'm in now is one of my Bio's class and so far I have been maintaining a B as well.
If you know me, I am not an overachiever especially in school. Me and school don't mix, or at least I used to think that way.. Now because I am that much more focused and ready to do this. I have goals and i have a set mind frame and I FREAK out if I get below a B on any test.. Not Ok with me.
We have had 3 exams and so far I have gotten a 82, 84 and a 92!!  HECK YES!!! 
School for me no matter what is a challenge, but now that I'm older I am READY and I want to do this!!
BRING IT!! 
Next classes I have are Bio 201 and Chm 130 to get on the wait list for Nursing. After those are done and while I am waiting I have some Co- Reqs I need/want to get out of the way. This will all depend on Baby #2.
I also have thought about taking a Phlebotomy course as well as a CNA program, just to have some more experience under my belt. We will see though.

Updates and New Pics of My Laundry room..

WOOOHOO!!!  I now have a Completed laundry room, I still haven't put it back together completely but I will do it tomorrow - I can't satnd being so unorganized. 

I have been MIA lately.. I started school 2 weeks ago, and now its starting to get into the homework and studying etc. Add that to aleady hectic life, = No time for blogging and do things that I like to do. Gotta do what I gotta do though.

So here are some updated pics of T, the laundry room and randoms  =) Hope you all have a great Labor day..

Tristan hangin with Cailtlen- his new fling =)

I got a new due, you can't see the back, but I had her bring it up higher and thin it out. I'm really enjoying this cut.

T cracks me up with the way he sleeps, he also was rockin some BLUE lips from a sucker he had after lunch

And here is my completed Laundry room. So happy with the way this all came out. I will definitely be purchasing the uppers, I think it will complete the look and make for extra storage!

Excuse the messiness, I have to go back in and re organize.

Its DONE!!! YAYAYAY  Tile, Paint, new cabinet with sink & faucet, extra storage! Yep I'm in love!!

2 Year Stats for T

So I totally forgot to post this, On Monday T had his 2 year well check..
Stats:
Weight:  30lbs   75% percentile
Hieght: 36"        96% percentile
Head Cir:  19 1/2"  55% percentile
The Dr. said he looks amazing!!  His ears look great, except she thinks his tubes are out and just chilling in his ears. So I have to get him into the specialist to get them out.. she could of taken them but I would rather his EAR doc do  that.. He hasn't been sick in almost a year.  He recieved one shot which was his Hep A.. He did great, he was pissed but forgot about it quickly when given a lolli pop.
So I don't know if I ever said anything about T's hemigioma? 
This is what it looks like, but this is just a pic off the internet..

 They typically show up on the face and they are more prone to girls, but boys can get them as well. Basically a hemangioma is a build up of excess blood vessels on the skin. 
Well T has one,

its on his shoulder and its been there since about 6 months old. It kinda looks like an arrow and somewhat of a heart.  Just recently though we noticed it started to become raised and bulged..its gray/blue underneath and from what I had read and what I was told from other moms that have kids with the same thing, this typically means it will begin to spread out and slowly disappear. Well, this turned gray/blue underneath and it bulged up, not down and out.. SOOO I asked the Doc, "whats up with that". She looked at it and was surprised and not very happy with the way it was looking. So she referred me to a Pediatric Dermotologist at Phx Childrens.  She is worried that it could possibly start growing into his muscle, and that is NOT good. So I made an appt for Sept. to get him in. Hopefully everything is fine and we wont have to have it surgically removed. It doesn't impair him and its just a Birthmark to us. I would hate to have him have a scar and I DO NOT want him to go under the knife again if thats what they even do.. So we will find out what they say when we go in. 
All in all his appt went wonderfully, and he's growing right on track and even ahead..  =) 

How do you suppose I get back into blogging?

Because, honestly I'm really not sure.. I'm not sure if I have just lost interest in it or just don't allow myself time to update.. I'm really not sure. I feel like when I get home my focus needs to be on my kiddo, and then once kiddo goes down its qaulity time with the hubs, which usually is either sitting on the couch watchin hhmm  nothin and then me getting up and going to bed because to be pretty real, I'm TIRED!! 
I feel burnt out.. I would love a new blog design? but I don't want a premade one, I want a cute one like the ones I see when I go blog reading.. "I want that", kinda like what Tristan says to me!  Does anyone know where I need to start to get that done? Maybe a makeover will help inspire me to get back into it, I did want to change over to wordpress but REALLY?  ugh  I barely have to time to blog (when did everyting in my life become so time consuming WTF) let alone the countless hours it would take to switch over.  This sucks BALLS!!  Yes I said Balls, Hairy ones if it makes you happy!!
So if you or anyone you know - knows where I should go or knows a blog designer,queen of makeovers, please point them in my direction.  Thanks.
No Really I want you to do this,, =)
I do have a few updates, I can blog about. but after that- its a shot in the dark for me. Maybe I should go steal a few blog ideas from others.. 

Beee right back....................  

I still know my password..

YAY!!!!  

Ok, so I have definitely been on a haitus,, Yep.. Sorry.. but school, life, a almost 2 year old happen to be kicking my Ass.. Literally!!
BUT  I am almost done!! I am at the homestretch people., shoot not for school or anything but for this god awful math class.. this is my last week.. you have no idea how accomplished I feel with out even having passed it yet.. haha.   We have 2 more tests to take and my last day is on Thursday.. This class has definitely been grueling, its been stressful.. you wanna know how stressful- it sent me to the Dr's for what i thought(felt) was a heart attack or something.. Seriously.. I thought it was just panic attacks, but I have had plenty of those and this was just not normal. I have also had heart burn.. obviously (being prego and all), but this feeling was knew, and extremely uncomfortable.. So finally I had, had enough last week and called the Dr's - she diagonsed me with indegestion.. HA!!  gave me some meds and said if it comes back, gets worse etc to come back.. Meds seem to be workin!!  Thank goodness!! 

On the homefront- things are good, T is getting HUGE, huge in understatement.. here you make that call

See I told you!  He is getting so big, so smart, sooo talking... sooo turning TWO on July 9th..

One week he says 2 or 3 word sentences to full blown 5-6 word sentences the next week. Every time he spits one out, I have to just stare at him like really??!!  Do you ever have flashbacks when you stare at your son or daughter and an image of when they were itty bitty flashes before you?    YA me to!!

I am by far the happiest person on the planet to have been blessed with my son. He definitely knows how to test my patience, but that look- ya that one in that picture, melts my heart! He knows it... GAWD  I'm screwed!!

Other than that, we have been doing some house work and trying to revamp this hole, I call my casa. We should hopefully have some front yard landscaping in another month or so..I'm not quite sure why we always choose to remodel, redo things right smack in the middle of summer!  Summer in Arizona, is like hell on earth!  REALLY!!

Anyway- we also have decided that we are going to change up T's room. Means more painting, and murals and ugh.. why do I get ideas.. Ideas kill me!!

Give ya a hint, since he's in love with trucks, motorcycles and anything that goes vroom wroom..

(I'm nuts I know)

So thats about it for me, at least until Thursday. I don't start school again until August, so that should hopefully open up some time to take care of blogging.. =)

I leave you with a few more pics..

*Fell Off the Wagon*

Yep, that would be me,  I admit I have fallen and can't seem to get back up!    Well, caught  back up.
I feel like I'm so far behind with updates, my 101 n 1001 list and just everyday blogging.
Its going to get even crazier in this house. I go back to school to start the process of the last 4 classes I have to take to get on the waiting list for the Nursing Program. Should be intersesting.
I have to update my 101 list with alot of things, I just don't have the energy. At work we are busy, so I don't have time to blog like I used to be able to.. So  I can't imagine I will have any free time to do much when school starts, because THIS time its serious! 

We are however back from our cruise, and we had an AMAZING time.. I can't even explain to you how much fun we had. We got burnt, so now I'm rockin a pretty nice tan, which I'm loving.
We snorkeled, swam with stingrays, and dolphins, we also went Kayaking( that was a work out).
BUT- I missed T like crazy!! 8 days with out seeing him, just hearing him over the phone and a few pics while we were gone sent from my Mom's phone. The 2nd day at sea, I was pretty homesick. I didn't think I would be since J was with me, I tend to get homesick when I'm by myself.. but I was homesick and cried..  I missed T.. It got better as the days went by- more so because we stayed busy with the exurcusiions we planned, so that was good.  We talked about him alot- its funny how you look forward to some time alone, but when that time comes all you can do is talk about your kid/kids.. 
Sunday when we picked him up was the best!! I couln't wait to see him, he of course was excited to see us!
The pic in my header is a shot from Turks & Caicos. Man the water is so crystal clear!!  The sand is like sugar and I pretty much was in heaven! 

So thats my short and sweet update, I'm exhausted and ready for bed.  I will try to update more with some pics.. and of course updates on T..  22 months!!  2 more months and he will be TWO!!!!!!!!!!!  Yes  2!!
 

I Live!!

HI!!!

Yes I have been Absent, VERY VERY ABSENT!!  :(  Sooowey...(As Tristan likes to say)..
Anyway - It has been INSANE the last month!!  I mean INSANE!! 
We are busy, like crazy busy at work, like I have no time to barely do anything from the time I walk into work, until I leave.. which is NOT normal.. but I'm makin do..

BUT!!  John and I leave on Sat for Our CRUISE!!!    Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I can not begin to tell you how excited I am, I am nervous, i am anxious I am actually sad and sad because as the day gets closer to taking T to my Mom's I become more and more emotional.. =(   I have never left T longer than an overnight stay and even then, the next day I'm always ready to go get him back in my arms.. So this is going to be extremely HARD- 7 days without his cuteness is absolutly going to kill me.

BUT  -- I am excited to get away for 7 days on our cruise, I'm ready for some FUN, SUN, and BEACH!! oh and lets not forget the fruity drinks.. :0) 

Pictures, galore when I get back- or even while I get some time on the boat.. Yes I am taking the Laptop

So thats all I have for ya at the moment... I apologize for the absentness.. but I will return shortly.. and hopefully with an upgarded look and some more blogging and pics of COURSE!!  :0)

Well Hello little blog...

HI!!!!!!!

Wow I have been super absent.. I apoligize, to anyone who really reads this thing.. HA.. :0)
Lets just start off with- it has been EFFING RIDICULOUS AROUND THESE parts lately. NO TIME, NONE!!!!   and I want a 2nd kid HA  thats funny!!!! 
 Really though- its been pretty crazy..   We have picked WAY up at work, which is awsome and its not going to let up anytime soon!!   Last weekend was John and I's 1 Year Anniversary!! March 21st. Marke our 1 Year- it went by so fast.. We went to the dunes to celebrate and we had a blast. John broke the Rhino but whatever we still had fun!! Now that T is bigger and can really enjoy it, I love going..   This past week and a half basically we have  been gearing up for this overload of work that is about to hit us face first and I'm walking into something I have never done, in all my years working here, its been pretty simple, I've taken on more and more as far as the human resources go, taxes, payroll, payroll taxes and the list gets longer. So when I returned on Monday I was pretty much slapped with a WHOLE SHITLOAD of more stuff piled onto my plate. I'm not gonna lie- I'm nervous-  I am supposed to be going back to school in June -We leave for our cruise May 1st and umm yea I do everything at work... So after discussing this with my brother's we decided it was time to get some help!!  YAYA!!!!!! 
I interviewed a girl yesterday for the position, and to be really honest.. I really like her. I'm not one to like other girls especially when its moving in on my terriotory- but I think this girl- is going to save my sanity!!!  No joke!! 
I think of all the relief she will create for me and I can't wait to find out if she accepts our offer.. :/ 

On our home front - we have some changes taking place as well. I'm excited but also nervous about this to.. John's cousin is going to move in with us for about 6 months until he gets on his feet again. He will be working for our company - We told him that he has 6 months to save money, get his head on straight and get his own apartment/house at that time. He has 2 kids that live in Yuma with his ex, and they are having issues. So to help him out, John and I offered to help.. I enjoy M  (I wont use his name) - He's fun, and he loves T so we have a free babysitter for the next 6 months wooohooo.. this of course is in place of paying us rent.. hahaha :0) 
So this weekend, we have to clean out the office, and get things moved around, cleaned and ready to go because he moves in this weekend!!  WHOA!!!   Lots going on..

So as you can see- this is why I have been absent- I wish I could write more, I enjoy it- its my release even if all I do is talk about T... like I said its MY release..
Just an FYI I'm down 8lbs. I gained about 3lbs last week grrrr. I hate this weight thing.. It always kicks my ass.. but I'm still truckin.. My Goal is to be down in total 15 by May 1 - thats when we leave for our cruise.. :0) 

OH and I BROKE MY EFFING CAMERA.. :(   I dont know what to do when we go on our cruise, John does NOT want me to buy a new one, because he knows I will go and get that Nikon.. and thats a pretty penny, something he doesnt want to spend right now, and really we shouldn't (I shouldn't)  but Man, I love that camera... :)   So I'm hoping maybe Canon can get it repaired in time, but I highly doubt it.. :/

So those are the updates around my world.. I wish I could write more, but by the time I get home I'm exhausted.  I got to bed when T goes to bed  8Pm.. is bedtime.. Pathetic I KNOW!!! 

Some Friday Funny's..  :0)   

I pretty much failed

at this 365 Photo challenge.. although I have taken the pictures, well most of them anyway- but really I have no time. Work is picking up which is AWESOME no complaints here!!  T and I have been sick, so that has slowed my ass down. My lovely Aunt Flow showed up yesterday(sorry I know you wanted to know that), pretty much caught me off gaurd although I expect it at the same time every month but I guess the fact that I have been so busy I was like Whoa where did you come from.. So I'm tired!!
Every weekend we have something going on and it will not slow down this month - I guess MARCH MADNESS is the word and is in full effect.  This weekend, we have a wedding to go to, as well as doing housework that we have been putting off, the following weekend John goes out of town, and then that next weekend is OUR ANNIVERSARY!  Not only our Anniversary but our ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY!!  I'm pretty excited, we are headed to the dunes for basically the last weekend besides Easter.  Yes, you read that correctly we are going to the DUNES for our ONE year Anni. It was actually my suggestion, since I havent been since Thanksgiving. We are going as a family so I'm excited.  So yea pretty much the next month is going to be insane!!  I will get this caught up, but its going to be a awhile.. sorry.. ;/  Duty calls...
