manic monday....

i've already been awake for over an hour which is so not mine and C's normal schedule.  he typically sleeps in until 8-9!  today he was up and ready to go at 7:15 which makes sense since B and i stayed up until 2 in the morning.  

today C has his 4 month appt.  i'm totally dreading the shots! :(  also, today i'm watching my nephew so my brother and D's mom can move into their house.  AND today my aunt and grandma are driving up to visit for the afternoon/evening!!  

i bought everything i needed to make a fall wreath!!  a wreath i found on pinterest.  can't wait to get started on that soon!  i LOVE fall and fall decor!! the wreath below is christmas colors, i bought fall colors to make mine.

i used to make dinner ALL the time! these days, never.... i threw some apps together the other night.  B's last night of his spring/summer hockey season!  also a football night!  here was the spread....


layered taco dip, french bread with olive oil and parmesan cheese, meat and cheese, crackers and dip, and sweedish meatballs!

never have i gotten into bed totally exhausted and decided to get on the comp just to be on it! just to have some alone time on blogger and pinterest ;) i usually only last 10 or so minutes though, haha!  i practically fall asleep with the mac on my lap.

i have ordered some cute stuff for C from etsy, i can't wait to get it all.  i'll post everything once i have it!!
if you have a favorite etsy store you order boys/baby stuff from, let me know!!  

time for me to get cleaning!

what momma's wearin' wednesday...

now... i know i'm not some high style fashionista esp since these days i pretty much live in yoga pants but i had to get dressed today.
being all classy, standin on a toilet...
i was too lazy to go upstairs and take a pic in one of our floor mirrors ;)
anywho...
i'm wearin'
missme jeans
i love all the detail on the back pockets of missme jeans.
my jeans sag off my bum, i've somehow lost my big booty. 
i know eventually it will return (after nursing ends).
super soft purple shirt- gap 
(just got it for 40% off!)
purple cami - limited
flats - target 
(clearance, $6)
super heavy silver bracelet - kohls
i even had time to paint my nails yesterday. hard to tell but they are gray.

i went to lunch with my friend, ashley, today at panera, it was delicious!!
pretty much the reason i'm wearing jeans, i wear them maybe once a week ;)
ashley is my friend who took C's 3 month pics so i got the disc from her!
i can't wait to order pictures!!!
we had such a good visit, the 2 hours flew by and C was a little angel baby the whole time.
i was reminded i need to get together with friends more often.

and below i'm wearing a culley bear and a moby...
i hadn't worn my moby wrap in a few months but C wanted to be held while i cooked din.  as you can see he is more than content because he can suck on the wrap. haha!  
baby always wants something in his mouth these days....

cuddles, sleep, etc...

i am starting to think all my posts from here on out are going to be random and more than likely momma/baby posts! i have no problem with that so i hope ya'll don't either!! ;)

* i just LOOOOOVE, love, love cuddling with my sweet boy!! we cuddle many hours a day ;)  B snapped this pic of culley's sweet baby feet the other night when he was laying on me.


* an old neighbor of mine recently started blogging.  her name is annie, so that automatically means she's awesome ;) she just got married and is expecting a baby boy!  i am totally in LOVE with their nursery! she is new to blogging so stop by her blog check it out and to see the rest of the nursery!!  she is an interior designer and i LOVE her style!! so out of the box and just FUN!
photo borrowed from annie's blog!

* i'm working on getting C to sleep in his crib/sleep through the night.  the first night he went 10-3:30 but then was up every 30 minutes.  i finally brought him in my room at 6.  i was a zombie the next day.  the next night i decided to try again but then my brother and nephew showed up.  we were being a bit loud and it just threw off C's sleep.  he went in his crib from 8-9 and then 10-12.  then i brought him to bed with me.  the next night C fell asleep in his swing around 9:30 and was so sound asleep i left him there.  i feel asleep on the couch around 10 and C slept until 4! at this point i'm thinking i LOVE the swing!  i fed him and brought him upstairs with me and he slept until 9!  the reason i brought him up is because billy was alseep on our other couch.  turns out he was having nightmares of someone chasing him in high heels!! the sound of the swing clicking was interfering with his much needed sleep. it is sunday night (night 4) and C is sleeping on my lap in a swaddled sleepsack.  it's 10 pm and were waiting on daddy B to get home.  continued from last night....C slept 10:30 until 6!!  he slept swaddled in his pack-n-play right next to me.  so tonight i might try him swaddled in his crib.

*we went for a walk this morning at 7 and then C slept from 7:45-8:45.  i don't so much care for waking up at 6 since we usually sleep in until 9 BUT if we are both going to be getting full night of sleep i'm all for it!  i just need to go to bed when C does.  i was up until 1:00 in the morning last night.  

*C is at the point where he puts everything in his mouth!  i love watching him play toys.  he also loves blankies and trying to put them in his mouth as well.  haha.  i really watch him close when he is playing with his blankies.

*whale bath tub dilemma solved thanks to some fellow bloggers....turns out that green bump thingy in the tub comes out!! so, we won't be buying a new tub.

*now, i have a MOUNTAIN of clean, folded laundry that needs tended to....
