18 Months Strong!

I just earned this on January 3rd. Alexis just turned 1! I am so grateful that I have had such a great breastfeeding experience with her, especially when there are many mommas out there that are so desperate to breastfeed.

Mike and I were driving home from my parents house and we pulled up to a car at the red light.

The license plate was SFWRITER.  I couldn't believe my favourite freaking authors freaking car was right in freaking front of me.  Holy freaking crap.



www.sfwriter.com  I got the picture off of his website.

I DID take a picture of it , and I will upload it tomorrow.  I can't believe it, this night ROCKS!

Smiling - 1 Month Birthday :  February 3rd, 2008



Awake - February 4, 2008

 

Oi, what a busy life.  Lack of sleep and endless feedings are making me one content little spaz of a mother.  I feel so sorry for Trianna to put up with me like this. I find myself yelling at her for no reason.  I'm glad she is so good, but at the same time, I can't stand to hear "Why?"  "Why?" "Why?" "Why?" "Why?" after EVERYTHING I say.

I just gave the squeaker a bath in the middle of the kitchen floor. Why you ask? Why? Why? WHY?!   Cause I didn't feel like bending over the tub and hanging on to a slippery, soapy baby while trying to handle a 3 year old that wants to be involved in EVERYTHING.  Including pouring about half a bottle of Grins and Giggles into her baby tub. *sigh*

And just to think in about 5 months I will be all alone, out East doing this all by myself.  Lovely.   At least Trianna will be in school in September..............


Oh, I just snapped a photo of Alexis from the webcam... I really need to upload more pictures and ask Mackenzie to send those videos of Alexis over to me.  I am so lazy and .... lazy.


Enjoy!





 

 I am still alive, if anyone cares. Ha.


Busy busy busy... tired tired tired.      2 kids is busy. Especially with one who wants to be on the boob all day long.

I will give a proper update later in the week. But I just thought I would let everyone know that everything is a-ok so far.


*snore*

Sleep? What's Slllleee...pp?   I can safely say that I am now a 'night owl'.  I literally do not sleep at night now, because the time I actually GET to sleep, Alexis is up wanting cuddle time or booby-sucky time. 

It's like she KNOWS when I'm just about to fall asleep, and eat, or go the bathroom.... she loves to cry for me at those exact times... smart little cookie.

Right now, Michael is at his course and I am watching both kids for the first time alone since surgery. Trianna is actually falling asleep on our green recliner because she hasn't had a nap today, and Alexis is sitting in a bassinet behind me, looking around and falling in and out of sleep herself. 

I was thinking if Trianna falls asleep early, I will give Alexis a bath with her the soap we FINALLY found. It's called Grins and Giggles and they used it on her in the hospital, but when we went around shopping for it, the scent we wanted was sold out EVERYWHERE. My dad finally found a bottle of it by chance (in the wrong section) in Zellers... so I am very happy we got it.

So far, Trianna is adjusting well to Alexis. She doesn't seem to be bothered by her at all... but we have noticed a bit of behavioural changes when it comes down to tantrums and attitude.  But, I was also away from her for almost 2 weeks, and Mike isn't as stern as I am about discipline, so that also could be the problem while I was away.

Aside from the lack of sleep and a lot of poopy diapers, everything is well and happy in our new little family, I shall update a little later.


Cheers
