Chilly!

I absolutely LOVE this weather!! I love sweaters, sweatshirts and pants.....and little hoodies for my baby boy! He looks TOO cute in a hoodie! 

It was so great to see everyone this morning at Village Inn. I definitely need to get out more! Ethan ate so much....too much actually because some of it came back up...yuck! He is asleep now, with a nice full tummy! 

I'm looking forward to having a playdate here. Maybe sometime next week? I'll put it up on the calender. 

My hard drive crashed on Sunday. Great...just great. If the Apple store can't fix it, that means $90 for a new hard drive. Thank goodness I have Beau's computer to use while he's gone. I don't know what I would do without a computer for a week.

Moved in!

We are officially moved in! I LOVE our new house...even with all the jet noise! We are having a fence put up today so Chica and Ethan (when he starts walking) can run around! I can't wait to host playdates! 

Ethan had his one year check up on Wednesday. He only gained a pound between his 9 month and 1 year visit. The doctor wants to see him at 15 months to re-check his weight. I try to get him to eat....and when he doesn't eat what I put in front of him, I find something else he will eat. What am I doing wrong?? He's healthy, but skinny...and he LOVES his milk. We've cut him down to 4 cups of milk a day. The doctor says more food less milk. Easier said then done. 

He's getting so tall now too! His pants are high waters now LOL. There he is...mommy's little devil...

AHHHHHHHHH

Why is it that being a mother brings out emotional highs and lows like pms does? I love my son so much that my heart could just burst. On days like today, I want to send him back to the hospital and say "sorry...he's not mine!" Poor little guy just isn't feeling well. He is getting better, but still very cranky. I feel like I haven't had a break in forever. I think when Beau is home on Sunday I am going to go out and do something for myself. Pedicure maybe? All this stress brings out the worst in me...along with the emotional eating. Could be why I'm sitting here with a bowl of ice cream. 

Homeowners!

We closed on our house today! I've never signed so many damn papers in my life...and I was signing for Beau as well because he is gone. 

I had a rough start to the day...

Yesterday I went to Bark in the Park with my neighbor. Ethan loves dogs, and I thought it would be great for him to see all of them. The animal control was there and they were adopting dogs. I saw this big furry Shepherd/ Collie Mix. He was soo sweet and just wanted to be loved. Well...I was talked into adopting him. He seemed to love Ethan! Ethan giggled every time the dog came near him. 

I brought him home and my poor Chica was so upset. She tried to bite him and he just wanted to play...which she thought he was trying to attack her. I was sitting on the floor with Ethan, and the dog basically ran him over. I tried to take him and show him the baby, and he ended up stepping on his leg. That set me off. I was hopeful though.

He slept in my bed last night, and basically sat on top of me all night. He finally laid down and fell asleep, and then at 1:30 this morning he got up and sat on me again. I took him outside...called Beau, crying saying I made a mistake by bringing him home. Well he maybe slept a whole 2 hours last night and the rest of the time he was climbing all over me...and he was about 50 lbs. 

I brought him out into the living room at 5:00am and let him outside. I brought him back inside and he peed on the carpet, and ran around the living room. 

This morning at 8am I took him back to animal control...in tears. I felt so bad that I brought him home...took him out of the shelter and then brought him back. It breaks my heart, but I have to protect my baby. He is my number one priority. I've felt horrible all day, but I'm hoping that someone will give the dog a great home where he gets their full attention.
