 Josh is 2 months and 2 days old today.  He had his first set of shots yesterday and good Lord it was horrible. I took the pic below before his dr appointment...he was all smiles and happy and then we had shots...and it was not fun!

Thankfully he took it like a champ.  Yes, he wailed during the needle sticks, but afterward was calm and collected.  He was awake and wanted to play a little when we got home and then after a quick nap, was PISSED OFF!  He was almost inconsolable....I gave him his bedtime bottle a little early and he was fast asleep by 10pm and slept till 9 this morning! He's pretty much been sleeping all day so far too...but from what I'm told, they sleep like logs after their shots.  Leaves me plenty of "me" time which totally means sitting my lazy ass on the couch and lurking around on Facebook and watching lots of Charlie Sheen videos like this one...

"I'm Bi Winning...win here win there, win win everywhere!"

I think I just developed a new hobby...LOL.  It's 12:30am...my little guy is dead asleep and has been sleeping throught the night lately...now I can't sleep....WTF!  So I was lurking around my January Mommy Board on Baby Center and there has apparently been a ton of drama over there that I missed (damnit) and alot of posts poking fun at some of the stuff have popped up and gotdamit they are mother effing hillarious!  So this post about our little ones not holding their bottles started and it's gone on for days and is so funny!  It's evolved to a bunch of different things and of all things, Charlie Sheen is the latest topic. 

This is where this brilliant hobby comes in.  One of the girls there, Nicole, had mentioned that they've made lol cats about Sheen (see: sheen cats) and that they should make the crazy baby faces with Sheen quotes.  So at midnight, I take it upon myself to make a few and here they are ...enjoy!

Oh Charlie Sheen...

I live in a condo complex and have a good mix of neighbors.  My direct neighbors are great people along with some people I've become friends with in other buildings.  But then there are also some "winners"...not the Charlie Sheen type of winners...but it would be pretty DAMN cool if he did live here. 

I mean really....can you immagine....it would be all about winning!  And immagine the health care costs we would all save because as Charlie has demonstrated, he has healing powers.

Rosen: ”You say you’ve cured yourself --"
Sheen: ”Yes"
Rosen: ”–of addiction. You don’t need Alcoholics Anonymous… How have you done that?”

Sheen: ”I– I– I– closed my eyes. An-an-and made it so… with the power of my mind.”

Then there's the tiger blood and the goddesses...I mean, really, it's a win win situation.  Especially with the state of affairs in my condo complex.....I'm not too keen on our property manager.  Don't trust the guy as far as I could throw him.  So it would be awesome for Charlie Sheen to teach this guy a thing or two about tiger blood and winning! LOL. 

And let's not forget - he brings gum for everyone!

A Sleepy Tuesday and an Oreo Problem

Have you subscribed yet? You won't be dissapointed! CLICK HERE!!

My little guy will be 6 weeks on Thursday and I'm pretty sure he's going through his 6 wk growth spurt.  He's been very sleepy all week with very little awake time...mostly just after his morning bottle.  Even as I type he's asleep on my left arm and I'm typing with one hand.

What a life huh? Eat, sleep, poop...wash rinse repeat...lol.  This little guy is just amazing!
I still can't believe he's 6 weeks this week! Before I know it he'll be 8 weeks and in for his 2 month shots!

So, sleepy day aside, I've come to a conclusion....I have an Oreo problem.  Not as in I have none or I have too many....but as in I keep eating them!! I'm really debating calling Peapod and making them ban Oreos from my account.  Speaking of....Peapod is an amazing find! I haven't been able to go food shopping since having the baby and honestly don't think I ever wanna step foot in the store again! No more lugging bags up the stairs or waiting for Shane to be around so we can go shopping, I love it!

But I digress...I lost 30 of the 45lbs I put on so fast after having the baby...and if I keep this Oreo thing up it's gonna all come back.  Part of me wants to go back to work just so I'll stop eating...lol. 

I think I'm gonna out little man down in his rock n play and take a cue from him and take a nap.

Cat got your tounge....

Have you subscribed yet? You won't be dissapointed! CLICK HERE!!

Let me give you a little detail on this one....my house consists of myself, Shane (DH), Josh (LO), a doggie and 2 cats (Solara, Deenah and Boo) all 5 of us in our 2br townhouse condo.  The dog has adjusted wonderfully to having LO around and the younger of the two cats, Boo, could care less....as long as she has food she's happy. 

Then there's Deenah.

Deenah is an 11 year old calico and while I love this cat to death, she's become a serious pain in my still larger than normal ass.  She's always been kind of a pain, always having to be in the middle of everything and scratching at papers trying to get attention.  The funny part is when you give her the attention, she runs away.  She doesn't want to be held and only wants to be pet on her terms...typical cat.  She was fine the first few weeks LO was home, but last week she started trying to get into EVERYTHING.  She's been in little man's pack n play, trying to get into his room, caught in the bassinet next to our bed.  I even tried putting little man's play mat over the opening of the pack n play to keep her out....yeah, she figured that one out and found a way in.  When she's not tormenting me by getting into LO's stuff, she's in the kitchen sink, walking along the counter tops past the bottles that are drying or just perching on the kitchen table.  The funny part is, this cat wanted nothing to do with being downstairs on the first floor all day for almost 2 years since we got the dog and now she's down here all day - everyday.  Needless to say this cat is working on my last nerve...lol.

Annnd now it's time to go sterilize the new bottles I bought today.

Holy Freholies where has the time gone?! Wow it has been almost a year since my last post. Alot has happend and I'm gonna try to not neglect my blog as much anymore.

Where should I start? Well I guess where I left off...we never sold the condo and Shane and I had our first baby! Josh is the other love of my life. How could you not love this little guy??

My head first dive into mommyhood was not without incident though.  His delivery was rather traumatic due to a botched epidural...but God bless my OB, Dr. Miller, for making the right call and getting my little guy here quickly and safely.  Then came the postpartum depression....ugh.  That hit me like a ton of bricks.  Not only was I dealing with the "I'm a first time mom and don't know what I'm doing" feelings, the stress of breastfeeding and pumping, but I also dreaded being alone during the day with my little guy...so much so it would make me want to vomit.  I was so unbeleiveably stressed out that I cried hysterically for no reason all the time and finally made the call to get back on the happy pills. =)  And I stopped breastfeeding which took a ton of stress off of me and little man.  I am proud of myself for trying to breastfeed and sticking it out for 3 weeks, but it is mother effing HARD man and it hurts! They don't tell you that in the books!

 Breastfeeding and pumping is like having a whole other full time job....taking care of a newborn is a job in and of itself....but put the stress of trying to breastfeed on top of that and holy cow!  Disaster!  Little dude was constantly on the boob and I didn't get to bond and enjoy him at all.  So now we're on the bottle (formula....not the other bottle), sleeping 4-6 hrs at night and everyone is happy!  My next hurdle will be going back to work...another thing I'm dreading.  But I guess we'll cross that bridge when we get to it. 

I look forward to sharing my new experiences and seeing what my blog will become as I journey further down the road of motherhood.  I hope you all still enjoy what you read =).
