I’m so excited, because yesterday I mad my very first baked beans from scratch. I softened the beans, and Yesterday I put it together, it’s in the crock pot, and it cooked all night. It’s so fun to put a lot of time an effort into something that everyone gets to experience. I really hope everyone likes it. Not to mention it’s the FIRST time I’ve ever contributed to a Thanksgiving dinner. It’s at our apartment, and we are cooking for other people. It’s such a new exciting thing for me, and I bet Brandon and Ryan are exited too. Brandon made his Nanas apple pie recipe for the first time alone, I know he was excited about that! I really hope that we can get this house cleaned and decorated tomorrow. It’s really important to me that the house is clean, tidy, and looking nice not only for my own sanity but so that our guests are comfortable.
Aydin is growing so fast. I’m amazed every single day about the changes he has. His face gets more defined, his eyes focus for longer, he seems to have more control over his limbs, and he is playing and interacting a lot more. He is 6 weeks and 3 days old today, but I think he is pretty ahead when it comes to development. He holds his head up for long periods of time, and makes walking motions when you stand him up (his legs are pretty strong, they do most of the holding of him up.) He makes the cutest little peeps too when he is just hanging out. I bet he will say his first word before 5 months old (I honestly don’t know the average…) My mom found the camara so I can get som more recent pictures. I just love him so much. He is loved by so many people, friends, family, even strangers fall in love with him because he is so damn beautiful! Hum, he’s going to be an attractive young man, and I hope he is humble about it. :)
I’ve been giving young pregnant women information and facts about breastfeeding mostly, circumcision, and instinctual parenting! I’m feeling great because I am helping young mothers make the most informed decisions about their parenting. I know that a lot of girls get wrong information, or get persuaded into making a decision by their boyfriend or by older family members who aren’t up with the times. I just want to help women feel strong, and confident in their parenting, and also to know that they can make a decision that is right, mature, and wise, and stick with it. I’m also really excited because I am correcting peoples misinformation, about breastfeeding, and circumcision. I am glad that I can help people! I’m also really happy that I was strong enough, mature enough, and smart enough to do all my own research and not let anyone talk (or pressure more like) me out of my decisions. I just hope I can help other new mothers be just as strong.
I think we are going to sell our car! That’s exciting. It’s going to be another $500 dollars. That will help so much! This is so exciting, I really hope it works out.
I'm getting my cats on Saturday. I can't wait. *Eek* ^-.-^
