We did it!!

Okay... Well Collins did it, but it was a big step for me too:) Collins slept in her crib the past two nights....yay baby girl!! She's been sleeping in the bassinet portion of her pack and play in our room, mainly for my own peace of mind. I tried her out for a nap in her crib on Tuesday and she did great so Tuesday night I said I would see about her sleeping in there. She did have about an hour of fussy time the first night but after that she was great! I'm actually pretty good at letting her cry it out, hope that doesn't make me sound like a bad momma but I've been preparing myself via moms on call and baby wise and I know in the end getting her to sleep good is a must. I've been around babies a lot and I know letting them cry for a few minutes is not going to harm them! Granted, i will say Collins has not had any uncontrollable crying yet so that may make a difference. She mainly just fusses and grunts a bit. Last night she did wonderful and didn't make a peep after I put her down. Generally she goes down about 10 and will sleep until about 2 30 or so and then nurses and goes back down from about 3 until 7. She's really been a great little sleeper so far and I pray it stays that way. She's had two nights where she fussed until about 2 and was wanting to nurse a lot, thinking growth spurts! Anyways sorry to bore, but I have to document this stuff for myself:)

To my boys {almost two months late}

MY BOYS: A whole hand.   I can’t believe it.   The past five years have gone by at lightning speed!   You two silly, crazy, sweet, handsome boys celebrated FIVE like you do all other things- with genuine excitement and happiness in your hearts.   Y’all love life to the fullest and have the best imaginations- I could sit and listen to the two of you “play and talk” to each other ALL the live long day.   Y’all rarely fight, but when you do you make up within like 12 seconds, you boys are so different, but yet so the same.   You’ve both grown up in SO many ways and sometimes I have to blink to remind myself you are still my babies (because you are and always will be) but you both still have remnants of “babyhood” that I sure hope stays around a little longer.   It’s been a complete JOY to be your mama the past five years, as much as I want to keep you this AGE FOREVER, I know it’s not possible and am excited to watch you two grow and blossom in l...

What's in a name?

I tell ya, the name game is HARD. Really hard. I never thought that I'd be 27 years old and pregnant and not know what I wanted to name my child. I *think* we have come up with the one , but I'm not quite ready to put it out for the world to see...you know, don't want to many people rushing to get monogrammed bubbles. Ha! Jokes! Anyways...so I can look back and remember what all we went thru to come up with a name in 20 years I am going to lay it all out there. I'll start with saying I want a family name to be somewhere in my children's names. It doesn't have to be a first name, but some name in the child's name I want to be from a family member/family. We'll start with boys names, because they got taken off the table when we found out it was a GIRL..this will be short. Mikey's middle name is Thomas...his grandfather's name is Thomas. So...we always said Thomas would be in our son's name. I always thought it would be cool to do a Tho...

25 weeks....yesterday!

Holy moly!!!! Baby Girl is doing some maaaayjah GROWING:) How far along? 25 weeks. Size of the baby? 13.5 inches and a pound and a half, grow baby girl, grow! Also known as an “average rutabaga”…um, okay. I’ll take Baby Center’s word for it. Maternity Clothes? Same as last week. My wardrobe is shrinking! I have bought several maternity tops, but most of them still look way too big. Still haven’t made the transition to maternity pants even though the bella band aggravates me sometimes. It’s the worst with my work pants, it constantly rolls down. I need to just suck it up and make the switch. Stretch Marks? None have appeared yet, still using the Palmer’s and Bio Oil a few times a week. Movement? Same. It’s so crazy how hard my belly gets at night, it is like she is all knotted up in one place. And the BELLY gets insanely BIG at night! Sleep? Eh…it’s been okay lately. I toss and turn a bunch. Food Cravings? Nothing crazy yet. I have been eating lots of peanu...
