Growing up =(

Well, as much as I hate to say this, my LM is growing up.  Last weekend when we went to Babies-r-Us we were torn between a toddler bed or a couch I liked that open into a sleeping bag style bed.  Being he loves the movie CARS it was only fitting that I get him a couch of the same movie.  It was cute, and he uses it daily.  He actually likes it better with it out like he’s sitting on the bed…lol  Here is a photo & link.  It’s of Toy Story but they don’t have on online of CARS.  Here is the link also: http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3963932

Well, with that we purchased a new baby gate, toddler sides, and a few other things.  When we got home, we found out the baby gates doesn’t get small enough for our doors.  Keep in mind we are in a 1952 made house which the doors are 30″ wide instead of bigger.  GREAT and the crib broken down into the toddler bed is not big enough for the sides and it’s TOO high for my child.  Odd right?

So this past weekend we decided to go back and return these items and get a car seat that we wanted for him, it’s a 3-n-1 and goes up to a backless booster.  I LOVE it, and it’s higher then the one he has now and will fit his ever growing self way up until he is 100lbs. It also has received a 4 1/2 stars out of 5 and is considered the “caddy” of car seats.  We figured they had a sale and against our return we would pay nothing for it.  It’s the Graco Natutilus, LOVE IT  Website here: http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3980774  Photo:

Well, apparently they did not stock up for their sale OR they wanted to get rid of their stuff quickly.  They were out.  They offered to let us order it online at one of their computers but we were not allowed to use the discounts for that store.  My thought is being they didn’t have it, they should honor it.  None the less we passed and ended up buying LM some more items.  A Pop Corn Popper, A Toodles, and some mega blocks (photos here) (no not the pink one but that is only picture that will show.

I will share in another post what happened later that day.  None the less a great weekend and LM is happy =)

It’s starting…..

Filed under: child,mom — admin @ 7:47 pm

In attempts to find out information about infants, I constantly do research online.  It can be a blessing and a curse.  At times, the information makes sense and I am able to tell what is going on instead of spending money going to the doctor.  The curse is not every child is the same, so you get many different answers and I don’t know what is right.  Perfect Example: When do babies start teething.

I have found out, however, that at 4 months old, he has gotten his first tooth.  Everywhere is saying 6 months but noooo.  I have abseil day and night so I should be ok.  I hope it doesn’t hurt him too bad but being he has never experienced it before, any reactions would not surprise me.

Ever since Mikey has been sick,  it’s very difficult to try to know the difference between normal baby things and serious issues.  It’s a blessing he survived but then again it ruined my thoughts on normal baby things.  Again, why I am always online looking at things.

I’m sitting here watching my hubby holding my son, looking too cute and I hope he can sleep through the night.  Both of them…..lol

6 weeks

Filed under: 6 weeks,booty,child,finger,gyno,six weeks — admin @ 6:50 pm

Well, going back to the dr to check myself out wasn’t so bad other then the finger up the booty which made me feel violated.  Luckily, everything is healing great and I started back on my BC pills which no one gave me when I left the hospital.

He is also going on 7 weeks and he is doing so well.  He has already rolled over on his own and he can follow things with his head as well as hold his head up as he did when he was born.  Yeah, he’s kind of ahead of his timeso others are telling me.  
I took him to his Dr and he was under weight, being a new mom you would think they would be more forthcoming with information.  Now I started feeding him as they should have in the beginning ad SURPRISE he is gaining weight.  I go back tommorrow to check his weight again.  Let’s hope he has gained more weight considering he is massively eating like a piggy which I love.
More later peeps
