Welp, goodbye to March!

I went to bed at 1AM, which made me happy cause the night before I didn’t get to lay down until 2AM. I felt like I might have a headache coming on when I laid down last night and yep- I woke up at 3:47AM this morning and my head hurt pretty badly but it was worse when Ben woke me up crying just before 6AM. Oh my goodness… I haven’t had a headache like that in a long time. I took my thyroid meds and soon after took some ibprofen. That helped for a bit but I have a slight headache even now.

Katie is off next week for spring break… oh boy. Hopefully won’t get too hectic with having her home all day for a week.

Sun is shining brightly today but super windy! They are currently starting on paving our portion of the parking lot in the apartments so we’re gonna have quite the time carrying in groceries tonight because we have to park somewhere else.

Benjamin has been good today and he slept all night again! I’m so very thankful. Let’s just hope he is good for us tonight while he’s out with us shopping. Excited to have hubby home for the weekend!!!! =) Enjoy yours!

I am loving this warmer weather for sure!!!!! I need to find more time to go spend outside in the sun.

Today’s big adventure was for Benjamin’s one month doc checkup! And… he’s grown an inch longer- 21 1/2 inches long. And my goodness did he have a growth spurt! He was 8lbs 3oz at his 2 week checkup and today he was 9lbs 12oz LOL! Our little piggy. I asked the doc about the rash on his face and she said it was just baby acne and would probably clear in about a week. We can put some hydrocortisone cream on it twice a day. That was pretty much it! Said he looks great. =) Our little man.

I got 4 hours of sleep last night and Ben slept a long time again!! I went back to sleep for like 30 minutes before we left for his checkup too. I’m still kind of tired now. Brad came home, ate dinner, fed/changed Ben since I was pumping and eating dinner, and then he headed out to go to a church meeting. Hopefully we can make it back to church in about 2 weeks! Our church has a special conference this weekend so no one will be going to normal services.

Tomorrow is Friday!!!

Well, I had set my alarm for 4:40AM so I could get up to pump milk and see if Ben was awake to be fed but… I went back to sleep! I woke up at 6:30AM- CRAP. I usually get up at 6AM so I had to rush-rush to get Katie up and fed before we had to make it to the bus stop but we did it. Ben and I took a nice nap later in the morning, which was awesome. They started with paving the parking lot at our apartments so part of it is blocked off. I mention that because I saw them setting it up earlier today.

Tonight we watched the SERIES FINALE of Bones… =( I’m gonna miss that show. Brad and I have been watching since the first episode, back when we lived in our first place- his Dad’s trailer. We sat at our tiny table with a tiny tv that we got at a thrift store and I would cook dinner then we’d watch Bones together. The show started I think September 2005 and we were married in December 2005. It was a good series finale but not gonna be the same not seeing Booth and Bones!

Gonna eat some ice cream and see what I can find to do!

Benjamin turned one month old today!!! He’s had a little rash on his face for maybe a week? Think it might be the dark chocolate I’ve been eating since that’s the only diff but I’ll ask the ped. when he goes for his one month checkup on Thursday.

So- the adventure for today was this afternoon at 4:30pm I had my one month OB checkup. Nothing unusual this morning. Katie came home from school and I fixed snacks for both of us and then Ben started to fuss so I fed him and needed to pump some milk but didn’t have time. Got ready and then my friend came to pick us up. Dropped Katie off at Moms and then we were off to the appointment! Everyone thought Benjamin was gorgeous, of course. I had a breast and pelvic exam and everything is healing great. Told the OB that hubby is thinking about getting the snip but we’ll use condoms as protection until he gets that done and is in the clear. Then the appointment was done and we came back to Moms so we could get Katie and we got my friend to drive us back home since I reallllllly needed to pump milk and get dinner ready, etc etc.

Ben’s been real fussy this evening with gas so hoping he’ll go to sleep. We just finished watching the latest Walking Dead and now I’m eating some ice cream. Time to catch up on vlogs and maybe play my game a bit!

Have a good evening!

Hope your Monday has been good so far! It’s been a cloudy, yet really warm day. Ben let me get some extra sleep so I am very very thankful! Think I have my first after birth period and it’s making me a little more tired than usual so the extra rest was nice. I’ll have my month checkup at the OB tomorrow.

Umm well nothing to really tell about today! I got the extra rest before lunch, had lunch, made sure my friend could take me to appointments this week, fixed dinner, got Ben situated, Brad came home, and now I just ate dinner and am pumping some milk. I’m gonna take my aunt to the store in a little bit once I’m done with pumping. I look forward to going out, actually. Just hope it doesn’t start to storm while I’m out and about. Oh! I also got to play my favorite game, LOTRO, a little bit earlier this afternoon so that was fun.

Brad told me when he got home that he might be getting a chunk of extra work money pretty soon! Every time he meets various goals he gets extra money… which is so awesome! And he’s such a hard worker so I know he’ll make lots of goals, which equals extra money, woohoo!! I’m so proud of him and love him so much. =)

I’m so proud of Katie too for her behavior at school! She got all great behavior colors last week and has started this week off awesome too. I can’t believe she’s almost 9…

Days go by faster than I ever thought but I am cherishing each one! Have a great evening… sending good vibes to ya!

It is 80 degrees and wonderfully sunny outside!

We’ve just had a chill day at home… I did some laundry, watched Chicago Justice, washed dishes, cleaned the kitchen counter tops a little, and took a small nap before dinner. Brad’s been napping pretty much all afternoon lol and is still asleep right now. Ben is probably gonna wake up here soon. Happy to say that he slept well last night and this morning- so praying praying praying that he keeps up with that so I can get more sleep.

Hmmm what do do this evening.. I didn’t get to wash my hair yesterday so I really need to tonight.

Hopefully this week will be great! Have a good one.

Woops- had an event to celebrate my character last night and didn’t get around to a blog post! I had Brad pick up a few groceries for me since I had the event in game and so we didn’t go out for groceries like usual on Friday but I did have my favorite pizza and a lot of fun with that event!

Today has been pretty good- Ben had another good night but slept all day and has been quite fussy since this afternoon haha. We loaded up this afternoon and Katie went to spend time with my Mom while we went out and grocery shopping. First stop! A place that we found out about because my cousin goes there… Second Hand Charles! Pretty cool place. Ben ended up getting too fussy so we sat down inside and fed him a bottle then he still was off/on fussy in the car seat but finally went to sleep. We looked around for a while then both of us were getting really hungry so we headed off to eat at Whole Foods!

Ate dinner then onto food shopping! We also picked up a few other things- swaddlers for Ben, which he loves to be swaddled so glad we bought them. Brad bought a bluetooth little speaker that is pretty neat. It has felt lovely outside all day and even as we were walking to the car after shopping it felt nice.

I’m gonna go wash my hair, get some ice cream, and probably watch YouTube vlogs and maybe a show or two!

Happy Thursday! This week went by way too fast but I’m ready for the weekend and thankfully my love will be here this time!!!

Today wasn’t eventful… but Ben has been eating every 3 hours and sleeping about that too so I’ve gotten less sleep today. Total of maybe 3 1/2? Hopefully he’ll sleep longer tonight.

We watched the latest episode of Bones last night… can’t believe next week is the Series Finale! =( Gonna be super sad to see it go. Tonight we’re gonna watch last nights Chicago PD and still need to catch up on last Sunday’s Walking Dead at some point too.

I was gonna clean the ferret cage last night but didn’t get to it so as soon as I pump this milk I’m gonna get that done and then round up the trash too since It needs to be taken out.

That’s all!

Ughh- so Ben slept pretty well during the night and then I fed him early this morning at almost 8AM then got set to pump milk then was going to lay down but then a friend of ours kept calling but I was thinking- nope, just gonna turn my phone on silent so I can get this done and get some sleep. I laid down about 9AM and then was woken up by BANGING on our front door… geeze. I tried to ignore but more knocking. I got up and went to the back just to wait to see if they would go on- nope LOUDER knocking. It was the lady upstairs. She’s nice and everything but just walked right on in! “Were you sleeping?” “..Yeah” “Oh, I’m so sorry”. She brought some outfits for Benjamin but um, really? … Thanks for coming in uninvited and waking me from my already sleep deprived schedule. I got off and on little naps since Ben was also waking up fussy a bit here and there but I finally got up for good around noon and fixed my lunch. Rest of the day so far has been alright. I cooked spaghetti for the first time in a long while and am eating a later dinner now.

Plan on watching shows tonight after Katie goes to bed and also need to clean our ferret’s cage at some point.

Hope everyone had a great day!

Brad’s last day off was today before he goes back to work and it was a great day. I had a lot of fun just being with him! Benjamin was fussy off and on last night and so I was up most of the night and then Brad finally woke up from his long extended nap lol and then stayed up with me to take care of Ben. Early this morning Brad fell back to sleep tho haha but I fed Ben again, ate breakfast, pumped milk again, and then finally was able to lay down and got about 4 hours of sleep! WOOHOO. We just hung out until it was time for me to go get Katie from the bus stop and then a bit later I had to take her to the dentist for her 6 month cleaning and she did great!

Cannot believe how warm it was today- up in the 80’s but storms moved in tonight and we got a bit of wind/rain/lightning and a little thunder so far. I might actually try to play my game for a bit tonight!

Ben’s starting to fuss again so gonna see about him then get some ice cream. Cheers to a good Wednesday!
