I've got a lot to talk about!

Wow, it has been a loooong time since I updated!  Sorry about that.  Just not a lot going on everyday to really sit down and type about.  But all the days added together there is quite a bit going on.  So, grab something to eat and drink...this may take awhile!

First of all, HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!!  I hope everyone had a great one.  Kent was off today, so we had the whole day to spend together.  Kent cleaned up the house for me and washed some clothes for me as well.  We then took Jon Kent to my parent's house and we went out for supper.  All the food was really good!!  We exchanged gifts and cards.  I gave Kent a gift card to Sears so he can buy some tools or whatever.  And he got me the Season One of the O.C. and the movie "The Notebook".  We had a really good time!  Jon Kent got some Valentines as well.  He got a card and some money from his Gramsie and Papaw and a Valentine Bear from his Granny and Paw-Paw and a Valentine puppy from his Mimi and Papa.  He racked up himself.  So today was a good day for everyone.

Sniff...sniff...  My baby is sleeping in his room tonight for the very first time...  I thought he would have woken up by now, but nope.  He is still sound asleep.  I on the other hand probably won't sleep a wink tonight.  My baby is growing up!!!  Make it stop, make it stop!!!

Speaking of making it stop...  I can't blink my right eye without it hurting.  I seem to have a stye.  UGH!  It has my eye looking puffy.  I told Kent I was going to tell everyone that he hit me.  But anyway, every time I blink it feels like someone is pushing my eyeball in.  I'm hoping it goes away soon, because it is giving me a headache!!!

Well, I do believe that is all I have.  Hopefully, it won't take me so long to update again!  I'll talk with yall later!!!

*~*Picture Time*~*

I just thought I would share these pictures.  They were taken a few weeks back.  I was so proud.  I thought they all came out pretty good!

 

ENJOY!

*~*La La La*~*

Well, it's Thursday and that means another work out day for me.  Can you tell that I look forward to my work outs???  Call me a nerd, but I will sit around and *map out* all the things I plan to do during my work out in my head.  I just love doing it so much.  I hope that I don't get burnt out on it though.  Hopefully not.  Because it is the one constant thing that I can do a few times a week to refresh myself as a mother and person. 

Jon Kent is sleeping.  Has been for quite awhile now.  He woke up at 7:45am and we played in the floor for about 30 minutes, then I gave him a bottle and he took about half of it (3oz) and then he went to sleep (and so did I) for about an hour.  Then he woke back up long enough to take another 3oz and back to sleep he went and that was an hour ago.  I guess he is going through a growth spurt.  In any event, it is giving me some *playtime* so I'm not complaining.

Well, I'm off to get some more things done around the house.  Yall have a great Thursday!!!

Stuffy Boy

My poor baby boy is all stuffed up.  Well...one side of his nose is anyways.  It doesn't really seem to be bothering him, but it bothers me!  I hate to hear him *trying* to breathe.  It's so sad.  His teething seems to be going fine though.  We are still giving him the teething tablets and they seem to be doing him good.  So why mess with a good thing???  My only question is this, do I start brushing it when it fully comes in??  Or do I rub my finger over it with a special toothpaste made for babies?  When do I start taking him to the dentist??  OK, maybe that was more than one question...but I am a new mom and I have no idea what to do.  I guess it's just a live and learn kind of thing, right!?!?  I guess I could *Goggle* it and see what information comes up.  In other news, Jon Kent seems to really be liking his cereal or *Captian Crunch*...lol.  That's what Kent and I call it.  Yeah, we're nerds...  It really seems to keep him full longer.  He can go 4 hours without really wanting something.  And even then I am the one usually trying to feed him another bottle.  He may could go longer.  He is sleeping pretty good too.  Six and a half hours last night before waking up.  And then another 3 hours after that.  He also took a 2 hour nap today as well.  Which RARELY EVER happens.  So all and all his sleep habits are going well.  I believe that's all I have in Jon Kent news...

Kent and I worked out again today.  As always it was fun for me.  I just enjoy being active.  Always have.  I hate just sitting around doing nothing.  If I'm not cleaning or washing or whatever I can't stand myself.  I have to do something *productive* everyday or else I feel lazy or useless.  Call me crazy.  Anywho, back on subject, we worked out for about an hour.  I walked 1.3 miles and burned 111 calories.  I also did some weight lifting and some ab workouts.  It was a good work out if I do say so myself.  Today I also cleaned.  I *Power Cleaned*.  Here is how it works:  On days that I don't do my full clean everything in site clean I try and "power clean".  I give myself 15 minutes for all the *big* rooms in my house and 10 minutes for all the *smaller* rooms in my house.  It gives me just enough time to dust and vacuum and straighten everything up.  Plus, it makes me stay busy.  Because I am going against the clock so I can't sit down.  Kent calls it *crazy cleaning*.  But he'll get over it.  Like I said earlier...I know I am a nerd.  Live with it.

Well, that is all from the home front.  I have about 3 more loads of laundry to do, so I better get to it.  Yall have a great Tuesday!

Teething?????

Is it possible???  Could Jon Kent REALLY be teething???  'Fraid so.  Or atleast I think so.  Today Jon Kent was just perfect.  He cooed, laughed, smile, etc.  Well, around 6:30pm he just started screaming and I mean SCREAMING.  We did everything under the sun to get the poor baby to calm down.  I stripped him down to his birthday suit and he still wasn't having it.  I gave him a bath...and he LOVES his baths.....not this time.  He was screaming bloody murder.  I tried rocking him, Kent tried, my momma and daddy both tried and nothing.  Finally I rocked him to sleep but it wasn't a sound asleep.  I rubbed my finger in his mouth and sure enough I felt a little "pointy" thing in his gums.  So I run my finger around to the other side of his gums and it was smooth on that side.  So I am thinking he is teething.  It seems too soon though.  He will be 3 months old in 9 days.  I've heard of babies being born with teeth...but still it seems a little soon.  Anyway, Kent went and got Jon Kent same teething tablets and some other stuff to put on his teeth.  The tablets have seemed to help.  We'll see how it does.  In other news about Jon Kent...we put him on cereal...per his doctor's orders.  It's mixed in with his formula.  Because his reflux still isn't under control.  He got his first bottle of it tonight.  He really seemed to like it.  I'm going to start him out on it slowly though.  That way it doesn't mess up his "bowel movements" too much or at all.  Maybe two bottles a day starting out.  We'll see.

So who watched the Super Bowl???  I did.  Well, parts of it anyways.  In the mist of a crying baby...I caught most of the commericals.  Which is the only reason I really watch it to begin with.  Can you believe though that it cost those companies 2.4 million dollars just to air a 30 second commerical??  That is crazy stuff!  I thought the half time show was really good.  I know a lot of people will say that it was really G-rated...but it should be.  It should be a "fun for the FAMILY" half time show and that is exactly what it was.  I thought the crowd really got into it and that always makes it better.

Anyway, enough with my rambling.  I think I will head to bed while the baby is still in a good sleep!  Yall have a great night and a great week!!!

Saturday

Hey everyone!!  Not much going on...as you can tell from the lack of updates.  Jon Kent had a fever for a few days (low grade) so I took him to the doctor yesterday.  He was fine.  The doctor said that his reflux was probably what was bothering him.  So she upped his dose again.  She said he out grew his last dose.  He gained 2 pounds in one month.  So that makes him 14 pounds now.  My little booger is growing!!  His fever is gone now, so things are much better!

Yesterday was also my brother's birthday.  He is 26...such an old man now...  Anyway, my parent's, brother, his girlfriend, Kent, Jon Kent and myself all went out to eat last night for his birthday.  It was fun.

Today I am washing clothes.  I have two washed and atleast 2 more to go.  Having a baby makes your laundry load double...atleast!  I am also going to work out today at 4pm.  Kent and I do it 3 times a week.  I really look forward to each day that we do it.  It gives Kent and me some "adult" time and it's good for our health!  Jon Kent usually stays with his Granny next door or my parents.  He is staying with my parents today.

Well, I guess that is all for today.  I hope yall have a great Saturday!!!

Happy Groundhog's Day

Happy Groundhog's Day!!!!  The *offical* groundhog saw it's shadow today, so we all know what that means...6 more weeks of winter.  But the *local* one where I live, didn't see his shadow...so Spring is just around the corner!  I hope so!!!

Jon Kent has a low grade fever.  But he is acting fine.  So I am just going to watch him for a bit and hopefully it will go away soon.  He seems to be doing fine though.  Swinging in his swing as we speak....babbling to himself.  It's such a sweet sound!

My hubby has training this week at his work and he got to come home for lunch.  It was a really nice surprise!  I just wanted to let yall know that I have a very thoughtful and loving husband. 

Well, I'm off.  I hope yall enjoy the *random pictures* that I took today!
