Sorry I have been MIA....I swear I'll post later and update on everything that has been happening in our busy lives!

Say Good-bye to Breastfeeding

I've stopped pumping on the day she turned 5 months. I don't know what to do with my time anymore. Kaitlyn stopped latching on at 3 months when she had RSV since it took too much energy for her to breastfeed and it came without work from the bottle.....can't say that I blame her one bit!
In a perfect world I wanted to breastfeed till she was at least 6 months old and then pump till I had no supply left so that I could at least have a freezer supply for her. As of right now we have 'maybe' a weeks worth left....I'm so sad about this!!
On the bright side I have to give myself a pat on the back that I exclusively pumped for as long as I did and did the best that I could.

And my little girl is now 5 months old! can you believe how quickly time is passing us by?! She is doing so great and laughing all the time, trying to sit up by herself and is doing wonderful with her solids! Her favorites right now are carrots, sweet potatoes, bananas, peaches and most of all pears!

I hope everyone has a fabulous Mother's Day!

Contest details

Long time no See!

I've been MIA for awhile, I feel like I have been too busy to breathe!
So I found out yesterday that I need to have my gall bladder removed on the 11th....major suckness. I'm hoping that surgery goes well and I can do the laparoscopic procedure because the recovery time is super duper quick and I can get back to snuggling with Kaitlyn and physically picking her up in a few days.

Wish me Luck!

I had Kaitlyn laughing so hard yesterday!!!! I wish I knew how to add a sound clip so you all can hear...so cute~ However I just about made myself pass out from doing it ha ha...apparently making sounds like your hyperventilating is pretty hilarious. She must be my child. =)

What are your plans for Mother's Day? It's going to my 1st! I have no idea what we're doing. But I am A-Ok lounging around the house with my family =)

We started rice cereal....

We stared at it for awhile trying to decide what to do with it....

And then we tried a little bit of it...that didn't go so great.

Then we decide that mommy is crazy if she thinks that I'm going to take another bite.















The End

Easter

I'm a little very behind on my Easter post but You'll forgive me right?!  =)  See what the Easter bunny brought us....

We had a great first Easter with Kaitlyn. Her Grandma and Grandpa came over for Easter dinner and she was a big girl and sat at the table with us in her Bumbo chair!

All in all was a great Easter and today she is officially 4 months old! I can't believe how quickly time is going by....before you know it I'm going to be planning her 1st birthday!

March 28th, 2009

This is the day that we knew our lives were going to change in a BIG way! After 9 months of heavy TTC and 100mg of Clomid and Metformin, I saw the 2 pretty pink lines....I ran and grabbed my digi test that I have been saving (those suckers are expensive!) and waited again...."PREGNANT" omgomgomgomg, "Really?!" I thought?

And now we have this precious little girl that we have waited so long for. We would have TTC sooner however hubby's radiation treatments prevented us from doing so....but I think it was all perfect timing.
I love my little family with every fiber in my body!

finding it harder to leave for work

I battle with myself every morning that I have to leave Kaitlyn to go to work. Unfortunately we HAVE to have a 2 income household...we're used to living a certain way of life and so that's what we've decided to do. But I hate that I leave so early that I can't say good-bye or get any playtime in (She is a sleeper!! Goes to bed at 9pm and wakes up about 8am!)
So I don't get to see her till 6pm! I feel guilty that I pay someone to watch her and then feel extra guilty about the amount of time I spend with her. I have her with me 100% when I'm home trying to make up for lost time...but somehow it never seems like it's enough.

Do you ever feel this guilt with your children? Whether you are a working mommy or SAHM?

And the winner of the Beezibee hat is....

Shahlala!

We had such a blast yesterday! The weather was amazing in the high 60's! We went for a few walks in the park and went to mommy's appointment and played photo shoot for awhile. Kaitlyn was an angel ALL day long and was awake the entire time!
I hate coming to work because I know it's going to be forever till I see her again...but when I do she always greets me with the biggest smile she can manage...mommy loves you Kaitlyn!

Went to the Chiropractor today!

And why haven't I gone sooner! Since Kaitlyn was a month old I have been having such horrid back spasms that brings me to my knees and leaves me throwing up for hours. (sorry for the visual) I have been having them off and on now and decided to see what I can do about them.
So I went to see Dr. Conrad today and he was amazing! I never heard so many "pops" and "cracks" come from my body before! I walked out of the office today feeling like a million bucks!
I have appointments again on Friday and Monday and cannot wait to go again!
Now I'll be able to carry Kaitlyn around and love on her without worrying if I'll get another spasm afterwards.
Toodles and have a great day!

Why do I love the Month of March you ask?

March means so much to me. March is the month that my husband was diagnosed with cancer and the month that we'll be celebrating 3 years of a clean bill of health and cancer free! I love you baby!
March is also the month that I found out I was pregnant with Kaitlyn. March 28th, 2009...I still remember that morning so clearly! I woke up at 5:00am to get ready for work and decided that I needed to test because "something" felt different. My husband and I have been trying to conceive for 9 months with no luck and I was on my last few months of Clomid. So I tested with a dollar store "cheapie" test and the line was there....def there but very light. So I grabbed the digital test and again waited...and waited and there it was, "Pregnant"!
I flew out of the bathroom and ran to our bedroom where my sleepy husband slept and pounced on the bed with tears running down my face. My husband flew out of bed screaming, "What's wrong? What's the matter, did you hurt yourself? Why are you crying?!" and then I held up the test and showed him how are lives have changed forever.
So this is why I love the month of March. =)

As the Foreste Grows is having a giveaway!

I'm so excited that she decided to host this giveaway b/c I've never heard of them before and they have wonderful prices and adorable little clippies that I can't wait to get my hands on! Yeah!
Thanks Mrs. Foreste!

So...I started back at the gym today

Wow...I'm so out of shape! I'm starting off at 10 pounds till I reach my pre-preg weight, which I don't think is half bad considering I haven't done anything to lose the weight! I gained "about" 40 pounds (gasp!) and lost 30 pounds in 2 mths! Yeah me!

So I start out on the weight loss journey....once I hit my goal of the pre-preg weight it's on the "ideal" weight, bubbye fat! =)

Finally! A clean bill of health!

Just got home from Kaitlyn's doctors appt and she no longer needs to wear her oxygen and her lungs are clear! This is such a releif, I hated seeing my 2 mth baby so sick. Yeah Kaitlyn, way to kick butt!

My first post!

I have to say...I'm so excited to start this blog. I know this will be a great way for me to talk about the "stuff" that no one else wants to hear. I am a brand new mommy of a baby girl named Kaitlyn. She is now 2 1/2 mths old and is the light of my life, (but what baby isn't that to their mommy).
She just got RSV a week ago and was placed on oxygen...poor little love bug is miserable! But tomorrow is her first appt and we're hoping that we get the "ok" to take her off and have her 100%
I hope you can take something away from this mess of a blog...I think we'll all have fun =)
