EVERYBODY is sick!!

:::Wipes off all the germs:::

Everybody in my family practically is sick!  Kent's sister had a "bug" and now has a cold, Kent's moma is coughing, Kent's grandfather is coughing and stuffed up, Kent's granny is coughing and starting to sound stuffed up as well, and Kent has a sore thoat.  My moma is also sick with a "bug" as well.  And starting today, my stomach doesn't feel so well!  Hopefully, Jon Kent won't get sick from any of these people.  But I am going to watch him VERY closely for the next few days!

Jon Kent has been sleeping VERY well for the past two nights!  Woohoo!  Hopefully this is a tend into the right direction!  Him and his daddy are napping now...as you can tell in the pictures.  Aren't they just the CUTEST!!!

Kent and I both have doctor appointments today at 3:30pm.  Same doctor, so we are just going to go in together.  We are taking Jon Kent with us.  Since all our babysitters are sick.  Hopefully, he will be fine and be in a good mood when we go.

Well, I am off.  Yall have a great Monday!!

No Subject

Whew, what a day!  Jon Kent was up to his old sleeping habits again.  He slept from 8:30pm-1am.  Then was up at 3:30am, 4:30am, and I finally got him back to sleep at 6am and he slept til 7:30am.  Then we played for a bit and we both took about an hour and a half nap.  Then I cleaned the house up a bit and then Jon Kent and I played for about 45 minutes and he was back out.  That was a little before 1pm and now it's a little after 1:30pm.  So, it's a nice break I am getting right now.  Kent should be home in about 30 minutes.  He had to go into work early this morning, so he is getting off earlier than usual.  Which is nice.  Because I need a BREAK!!  I have seemed to have gotten a headache and it's finally starting to go away. 

The weather has cooled back off.  We were having temps in the high 60s and low 70s.  Which was kind of nice, because I got to get Jon Kent out in it.  And he really seems to like the outdoors.  But now the temps are back in the 50s.  And the weatherman said that it looks like it will get even colder as the days go by for atleast another week.  Oh well.  Spring isn't too far away though, so hopefully things will be warming up soon and the flowers that I planted last Fall will bloom.  I'm hoping so anyways!

We don't have any plans for the weekend.  My parents are keeping Jon Kent tomorrow afternoon so Kent and I can work out.  And I am hoping that we can go to my favorite place to eat tonight, Panos (not sure if that is spelled right).  I have been craving to eat there ALL day!!!  We'll see if we go or not.

Well, I am off.  I hope yall have a great weekend!!

Jon Kent

I forgot to mention in my earlier post that Jon Kent is 100 days old today!!!  Woohoo!!!

Yall enjoy the pictures!!!

Hump Day!

AHHHHH!!!  Sleep is SO wonderful!!  Jon Kent slept GREAT last night.  And I mean G-R-E-A-T!!!  He went to sleep at 8:30pm and slept until 2am.  Then I fed him and he was back in his crib by 2:30am and he slept until 6:45am.  Woohoo!!  He was sooo happy when he got up today too.  He usually wakes up all grumpy.  He is apparently like his mommy...not a morning person.  But today he woke up and I fed him and we played.  Then he kicked back out at like 10:45am and we both slept until 12pm.  So nice!!!  I'm hoping this is a trend into sleeping better!!  If not, then I'll get over...may have bags under my eyes, but I'll get over it!!  Nothing a little make-up can't cover!!

So what have I done today...  Well, I have washed 2 loads of clothes with no more than 2 more to go.  I may save Jon Kent's clothes to wash later.  He doesn't have many that need washing.  But if I have time I will.  I still need to wash dishes and bottles and make up some more bottles of formula for the little piglet.  I need to sweep the kitchen and wood floors as well.  I plan on going over to my parent's tonight and tanning too.  Busy day for me I guess!

In other news, our credit union is giving us problems over our loan.  We got a loan last summer to buy our car.  And we have made EVERY payment EARLY.  Anyway, the other day Kent and I BOTH get a late notice in the mail saying that we haven't paid our last payment on the loan.  I knew that it was wrong because I had just gotten done balancing the checkbook.  And I remembered that I saw that the check had cleared.  So anyway, I called my moma who works at our "main" bank and she checked to see if it cleared and it had.  So they are in fault.  The lady said that it just wasn't applied to our loan.  I hope it doesn't get on our credit report that we didn't pay it.  Because if it does then I am going to be really mad.  Because we did nothing wrong to begin with!  Kent has to talk to the lady today to make sure it is all worked out.  Hopefully it will be.

Well, that is all for now.  I hope to have some pictures later of Jon Kent put up.  I have been taking them all throughout the day.  Hopefully, I will have them up later on tonight!!  Anyway, yall have a great Wednesday!!

Another first

Jon Kent spent the night with my parents last night!  Sniff, sniff.  It was kind of a last minute thing.  Kent wasn't feeling good (stomach bug or something) and I was completely exhausted from the lack of sleep that I had had in the past fews days.  My parents were both off today for President's Day so it just kind of all worked out.  We took him over there at 7pm.  My parents said that he did pretty good.  He slept pretty good for them too...figures.  Anyway, I missed him like crazy.  But if I am to be completely honest...it was nice to take a break and be a wife to my husband again.  Instead of just a mother to his child.  Know what I mean??  Anyway, Kent and I enjoyed staying up late watching the O.C first season.  And we took a trip to Wal-Mart to get some things.  Then we slept in late and just laid around all day.  We went out to lunch and then came home and read.  It was really nice!!!  But as I said earlier, I missed Jon Kent like crazy.  By the time we got to my parent's house to pick him up, my heart was aching for him.  I just love him soooo much!!  Anyway, once we got him home it was the same routine.  Bath at 8pm and he was out by 8:30pm.  He is still asleep now.  So sweet!!

In other news, Kent bought me the DVD "The Notebook" for Valentine's Day.  It was an awesome movie.  I think it is now my all time favorite movie!!  Anyway, I got the book to read as well.  It is WONDERFUL.  You have to get the book.  It was soooo good and it doesn't end like the movie did.  I also got another book by the same author (Nicholas Sparks).  It's called "The Wedding".  It is also a really good book.  I am like 10 pages from finishing it.  Both are GREAT reads!!!

Well, I'm off.  It's been a good but long day.  Yall have a good one!

:::::Bangs head against computer screen:::::

All I can say is this:  1am looks just like 2am and 2am looks just like 3am and 3am looks just like 4am and 4am looks just like 5am...

Jon Kent was at it again last night.  From midnight til 5am he was up every hour or every half hour.  Why???  Well, as flattered as I was, it was because he wanted to be held by me.  As soon as I would scoop him out of his crib he would be asleep before I could even sit down and rock him.  So I would rock him for a few minutes and put him back in his bed.  Only to be up in less than an hour or so later.  *sigh*  Honestly, as much sleep as I missed, I know I'm building a bond with my son.  And that is worth all the sleepless nights in the world.

His second night in his crib (sniff, sniff) he slept almost 8 hours!  I was like YESSSSS!!!  Hoping it was the beginning of him sleeping longer.  But the next night he was up every 2 hours or so and then last night...well you have already read about that.  I *thought* that feeding him cereal (per doctor orders because of his reflux) would keep him full longer and thus sleep longer.  WRONG!  The irony of all this is...he's asleep right now.

Yesterday I worked out.  And today I am really feeling it.  I walked a mile before my weight lifting and then a mile afterwards.  I burned like 200 calories and really got a good work out in all.  But I am sore today.  Oh well...it's worth it to look skinny again!

Well, there are things to be done around here.  I hope yall have a good Friday (it is Friday isn't it??) and a great weekend!

My baby is 3 months old today!

Jon Kent is 3 months old today!!  He celebrated by being a big boy all night long and sleeping in his "big boy bed" all night long.  He actually slept better last night than he has in the past week.  His father and I on the other hand didn't sleep all that great.  I did sleep better than Kent surprisingly.  Don't really know why though.  Anyway, Jon Kent slept 5 hours before getting up and then he ate and went back down for another 3 hours.  Not bad.  I was very proud!!

Today was such a BEAUTIFUL day.  It was in the 70s here all day with tons of sunshine.  I put the windows up in the house and let a nice breeze blow through.  Kent, Jon Kent, and I all went grocery shopping today.  And we actually had a lot of fun.  I guess good weather just does that to you.  Anyway, after we got home I cleaned the house while Kent washed the car.  Jon Kent went next door and spent some time with his Granny and Paw-Paw.  Then we all settled down for the evening.  I watched my favorite Tuesday night show, "One Tree Hill" and then Jon Kent went to bed.  It was a good day!!

My eye is doing better.  It doesn't hurt to blink anymore...thankfully.  It was seriously giving me a headache.  But now, I have seemed to have pulled a muscle in my chest.  From doing what you might ask...MOPPING!!!  I guess when I mop I take it seriously and really get down.  Oh well...the risk of mopping to have a clean house is worth it!  I'm sure I will be better tomorrow.

Well, I'm off.  I hope yall had a great Tuesday.  Tomorrow is HUMP day...the weekend is COMING!!!  BYE!!!
