Gobble, Gobble!!
I can't believe Thanksgiving is less than 2 weeks away!! I am really excited.
Haylie hasn't had a chance to make her Thanksgiving/Fall crafts yet, but hopefully today/tomorrow we get a chance to at least make a couple of things together. She is so much fun now that she actually understands holidays. It adds even more excitement for me, haha! Haylie is doing well and growing right before my eyes into a young lady.
Chase had his 9 month visit this past Tuesday and he weighed in at 20lbs 2oz and was 29 1/2 inches long. We didn't get any shots, but they did prick his finger to test his iron level. That little stink did not flinch, cry, whimper or even bat an eye for that matter. I was in shock. Haylie would of been hollering causing a huge scene and out of that office as fast as she could. I guess, he has to be manly and brave for his momma! I finally went out and bought new sippy cups!! Hooray!! They're insulated, hard plastic spout and have a leak proof valve. He has done great with them and I have no mess!! I gave him a cup full of cow's milk and he took it like it was no big deal. I did try giving him the sippy cup at bedtime and he did fall asleep, but woke up a few hours later, because it just wasn't the same as his bottle. Since he uses his sippy cup all day I figure a bottle for a 9 month old isn't going to hurt and formula in a sippy cup? Yack! He knows the word "no" and will shake his head no at you, haha.
Eric is supposed to be on days off, but he has been working on another rig for the past 3 days. Today is luckily the last day so I can still have Sunday, Monday and Tuesday with him. He is so amazing I just can't put it into words sometimes! It is really nice to have someone tell you how much they love you every single day and show it constantly. Yesterday, he brought me long stem white roses when he came home from work...just because. I'm glad I have such a loving husband who is an amazing father to the kiddos. He truly is my other half and I'd be lost without him....really, I would. Hell, I'd probably have no clean clothes, either. LOL. I hate doing laundry.
I'm still alive...barely. Haha. I started up taking the HCTZ again last night and 2 birth control pills and will do the same again tonight in hopes of having some control over my body. It'd be nice to look like I'm actually not a lazy bum who stuffs her face constantly. The HCTZ worked like crazy last night. I was getting out lots of water! Yesterday also marked 1 month being off of birth control....woohoo! I do not miss paying for that depo to make me miserable! I have been waking up extremely nauseated the past couple of mornings, but I'm not prego. I'm excited for Thanksgiving for so many reasons! I am buying a Honey-Baked Ham and I think from the sounds of it we're having 3 turkeys? I know I am not buying 3 hams though...at 50-60 bucks a ham I'm not that crazy. We normally set up the Christmas tree on Thanksgiving which Haylie liked helping last year so this year she will really dig it. I am not sure if we're still going to set it up on Thanksgiving Day or not, because family will be showing up around noon ready to eat. After they leave I get to clean up and nap a bit until I get up and get ready to be waiting at Target at 2AM. I want my tv, dammit. LOL. Then, we may set up the Christmas decorations/lights outside on Friday, but if not then DEF on Saturday. I am almost done completely as far as Christmas shopping goes. I have some minor things to get, but other than that I get to relax, enjoy the holidays, bake and be merry.
In case I do not post until after Thanksgiving I hope everyone has a great day!
