Wordless Wednesday

Cole man

I wanted to update my blog about cole man. I decided that I simiply can't remember his first if i don't write them down and i suck at his baby book so i thought well when i get around to his baby book i will come back to the blog to refresh my memory.

Cole was born at 10:56 pm November 8, 2009. He weighed 8lbs 12.8 oz. Was 20 3/4 inches long. Born emergency c-section as he had pooped inside my belly and we had to get you out as quickly as possible.

1 month - Cole you were very alert little baby. There was a 3 week period in there you didn't want to sleep at night. I had to put you in the swing to occupy your time and let mommy sleep at 2 am. You constantly move. You stretch and grew like a weed.

2 months - you loved tummy time and became very strong. You rolled over from you belly to you back first. When gma carla was watching you. You rolled over while she was in the bathroom. hehe. then gma terri got to see you then finally I got to see you roll on over.

3 months - You constantly rolled around, except you couldn't get back over until one night you were going so fast you did it all in one motion. hehe so cute!

4 months -You decided you were going to hold your own bottle a little earlier than i would like but you are such a big boy. Also we started eating solids. Yum Yum you are such a good eater. you like to also put your own paci in your mouth. which helps momma out alot when i can't see you to put it it.

5 months - We practice sitting up. You master that when you were 5 months old and then when you were 6 months (at your photoshoot) you sat by yourself for a good 15 min. it was so great.

5 months - after you sat up on your own, you would try to get down and crawl. Well we started the army crawl first. You were prolly 6.5 months. You get up on your knees and rock back and forth, you are so close. but the army crawl you get there alot faster.

7 months - You can army crawl whereever you want to go and then you sit up where ever you want on your own too. im so amazed by you.

You got your first tooth (well we found it) June 22nd. you got a 102.9 fever and were so fussy. we were up all night with you. We went to the dr the next day and you were fine. no issues. So we chopped it up to be tooth. You were not a very good baby when that thing was bothering you.

Monday June 28th you took more than two crawls on your hands and knees. you are slow go at it but its full blown crawling my man.

So many first so many more to go...

whiney post

So I never finished my previous post. I need to learn to tell stories quicker and less detail. So im going to ramble today. I have alot going on my mind and need to jot a fet down.

I need to start budgeting better. I feel like we are in a sinking hole and i need to figure out how to get myself out of it. It doesn't help that i can't talk to chad about it because he will just get stressed out and blame me for a lot of things. Thats why im trying to do accounting for all of our transactions to see where our money is really going. (eating out and him trying to be nice and pay for other peoples meals)!!!

I am frustrated with my weight. i am starting the couch to 5k. Last night was the first workout. It didn't seem to be too bad. Just hope these July nights aren't too bad so I can workout outside still and not say i am and then not. but seriously ive been cutting back calories and now walking at lunch time and going to in the evenings. ugh and i have nothing to show for it. obviously it wont happen overnight but damn im tired of it. I have 2 pairs of work pants. 2. disgusting right. well i feel bad for buying more when we dont have the money. and i just want to get back into the clothes i was wearing before! and im scared to death that it wont happen. god i have at least 10 lbs to lose before july 31st - my cuz's wedding. and i want to be back at my pre pregnancy weight so bad!

my gma is in the hospital and will be there for a very long time (need to update another time with her story, omg its a roller coaster ride) but i feel guilty for not going down during the week because by the time we get off work and then get there, eat supper and then home again its way later than i want to be going to bed. plus poor cole man gets thrown off his schedule. plus im liking staying home and either going for a walk or just cleaning up my house. 2 days of nothing to do at night and its wonderful. Even though im doing it only with cole man and hogan. as chad can't seem to stay home and enjoy quiet time. but its prolly better this way so that i don't ring his neck.

and we have a camper. have we used it this summer - twice. i told chad our goal is 2 times a month because im paying for this and its pointless to have a camper if we don't use it. ugh. well june is now over and we never got it out for june. July there are potential dates but we are waiting for his sis to have her baby which will take up the first two weekends. because can't really plan to do something and then poof a baby! there is the 3 weekend which we have something going on sunday but we could potentially go during the week and just come home sunday early or sat. then 4 weekend we have a bachelore/ette party. then the last weekend we have a wedding. Seriously we shouldn't be this busy on weekends. August we have potential first weekend available then mini vacations planned with my family for the next 2 then we have a potential baptism the last weekend. ugh then sept first weekend we have labor day wich we are going on vacation with chads family. then the weekend after that potential baptism if it wasn't in aug. So I forsee that we do have 2 weekends in a month for july and aug. But the hard part is conviencing chad to go.

I hate worring about stupid stuff like this but this is what i have to worry about on top of whether or not im being a good mom and having to determine what coles cries are meaning. im exhausted. just flat out tired!

I always feel like I have to come up with a title first. I don't know why but i'm going to try to write a post with out a title first. ha.

So we had an eventful weekend. We decided at 8:30 pm friday that we were going to head down to the ozarks friday night. My parents, 2 brothers and 1 bros girlfriend were going to go and they asked us to go to but I thought its just too much with a baby and traveling all that way. I wasn't sure I was up for it. Then I started feeling really guilty for not trying to go. Its not like we couldn't have. I just like to avoid some situations that I know could cause problems later on. Vacations being one of them. Anyways my husband had the bright idea of driving all night to get there sat. am and then when my parents got there surprise them. (1 point husband). He had no idea that I was feeling the way I was, which was crazy he had this idea at the same time. So we traveled all night in our burb. the best way to travel with a baby, while he sleeps thru the night! We got there about 5:30 am. with nothing to do. which was awesome.

We ate breakfast at hyvee (the only place open) then we drove around awhile, looking for a car wash. then we headed to Target. The momma had to buy a mom bathing suit since all i had that would remotely fit was a maternity swimsuit and that wasnt very flatering what so ever. Neither was the one i bought but it works for what i need it for. ugh wish i could look the way i did before cole man. anyways. we booked a room at the same hotel as my folks and checked in around 9. took a short snooze and headed to the pool. Oh I bought a floaty for cole man. Me not paying any attention pulled it out of the marked box and it was pink! omg what am i going to do with a pink floaty!?! well i had to use it. haha. poor thing. oh well maybe ill give it to my cuz. So we swam, ate lunch, swam some more, went back to the room to get ready and thought my family was going to be there around 4. nope didn't show up till 6. we just sat around the hotel for 2 hours people watching and drinking a few beers.

Once they arrived they couldn't have been more excited. I was so happy we went. We decided it was time to eat. then we went mini golfing. It was a great night.

as i type this i think wow this post got long. I have to actually get some more work done but i hate interupting my thought. (that happens alot, wonder if thats why i stopped blogging). anywho i will try to write more about our surprise vacation later! and post pics!
