My baby boy will be 2 YEARS OLD next Monday, January 30th!! This is truly insane!!
A few people keep asking me what I am doing for his birthday...I was just going to make him a cake, get some balloons and have my family/closest friends come over. A few people think I should like HAVE a party. But he is 2!!! I mean, HE doesnt really care (as long as he gets balloons and gets to see his favorite people---Auntie and Aidan, my mom and Melanie, etc), so I think I will just keep it low-key.
My buddy Amanda had her baby shower for Lilly this weekend!! That was pretty fun!! I felt bad though because there were NO decorations, and that SUCKS!!! My bad, whoops. So, I went to Safeway to get some and they didnt have CRAP!! Not even a helium machine to blow up balloons (which made me think---how did they blow up those EXPENSIVE ones that they sell, HMM??), so I just got her 1 crappy balloon. Rar!
Anyway, she got some raelly cute stuff, AND a baby jogger!! SCORE!! Lilly is so cute, they had her in this little velvet dress with leggings and a cute pink bow and shoes! She is just a GOOD girl, snoozing almost the whole time. But boy, when she cries, she makes it known she is NOT happy!! :)
Levi was the opposite of her--he wasnt crazy or anything, but he was a wriggly little guy, and didnt sleep much (I remember the first night he gave me 2 hours of straight sleep...he was like 3 weeks old, UGH). He is STILL a wriggly little guy, but he sleeps! :D But anyway, he had the most TINY little cry, he sounded like a screamapiller!! It was SO CUTE!! I couldnt believe that MY kid cried so soft!! And then, his lungs developed, because now he can scream better than anyone I know. hehehe! :) Now THATS my kid! :D
My life is really crazy right now, but I am too proud to actually write about it. I know, Im an idiot. But, we are moving at the end of February, so I am looking for a cheap place. I found something cheap in the 'quah, but I dont know if it will work out. And then. DAYCARE. Blah! My friend that I WANT to watch Levi lives in Duvall! That is SO not on the way to ANYTHING! Its out in the boon-toolies! So naturally, I should live out there....but there are mostly houses out there, not a lot of apartment communities. So who knows. I am secretly hoping that I will find ANOTHER perfect person to watch Levi in Issaquah!! Maybe someone from my old ward there??
I have a headache. I am REALLY tired. We watched the Seahawks game at my moms today (and they WON, holy crap!! They are ACTUALLY going to the Super Bowl, HOLLA!! :D), and I think I ate waaaay too much junk. And i bought some cookie dough last night (to eat RAW, not bake!!), and ate a bunch of that before we went over there...ughh...*barf*. I feel so yucky when I dont do my pilates or work out on the weekends (I never do pilates on the weekend, but usually take a walk!). I feel like I have a fat pouch resting on my legs, HAHAHA! I KNOW I dont, but I just feel blech.
Oh, and I got an email from that guy who is making a dress for me to model in March, and Im meeting up with him in 2 Saturdays to do the final (hopefully) fitting. I am really excited! Like Ive said before, I have NEVER had an article of clothing made for MY body!! I feel like its going to be amazing. :)
Thats pretty much it. Its been an awful week, but it ended ok. I dont know why I feel better about ANYTHING....I think I was just so sick of crying and being upset, that I just stopped. Sure, I am crapping my socks deep down, but I have seemed to take on the 'what the heck ever' outlook. I dont know how I can go to work and smile and be silly when everything sucks so bad! But I have to realize that EVERYTHING WILL work itself out. And it will all be ok, I KNOW it will! Yeah, its going to suck. Maybe only for a few weeks? Maybe for a few years?? Maybe for the rest of my LIFE? But you know what, I CAN deal. And I think that light bulb has finally tunred on. I CAN deal. I will be ok, I AM ok!! Its Levi I am worried about. But you know what, he is just a little guy, although amazingly smart....but he will pull through. As long as I am doing whats best for him, and making sure he is surrounded by loving people that love him as much as I do (psh, like THAT is possible! ;) ), HE will be ok too. He is certainly his mothers child, and I need to remember that.
But you know what he REALLY needs?! A SIBLING!! HAHAHA! Yes, that is SO NOT HAPPENEING right now, or any time soon, but DANG he needs one!! I could NEVER just have 1 child! Sometimes the place seems so empty, isnt that stupid?! He is ENOUGH, and keeps me busy enough, thats for sure!! But he needs a sibling. :) He loves to play! But hey, Aidan works for now. :) He will be a good big brother though when he gets the chance.
This lady at my work just had her #2 baby, and her first child is 4 years old. She said its PERFECT, and she is glad she waited until he was that old to get pg again. She couldnt imagine having a 2 year old and a newborn.
So, lets hope that by the time he is 3-3 1/2, life will be better. :)
