Monday Monday Monday

This weekend was pretty uneventful. I did enjoy going to the UK game Friday night with Meg. It was good to see her. I don't get to see her too often. I am not as into UK basketball this year as last. You know you aren't going to be that good when one of your worst players last year starts this year. I hope as the season goes on I will get more into it. Saturday we watched the game and had Steve over. We got Libby a space saver high chair and checked out Buy Buy Baby. I totally loved it! I am a fan! It beats Babies R Us. They have better selection and the store set up is a lot nicer. The picture of Pig and I is after we got home from shopping. She was trying on her new hat and holding her new patten leather shoes. On Sunday we went to Bran's parents house to enjoy a birthday celebration for his sister Katie. She turned 21. Brandon has an extra large family and it is so fun getting together with everyone and catching up with everybody. The biggest bonus is everyone wants to hold your baby so you don't have to watch her. haha. I loved it! Libby got to meet her cousin Presley who was born 5 months after her. They will be so close and I can't wait to watch them grow up together. I got some good info that I will share later on...until then you will just have to wait... : )

Laundry Thursday

Well it's Thursday which means it's laundry day. Woohoo! Can't wait! Doing laundry and a trip to the grocery store are the highlights of my day today. I need to go pick up some prints at Walgreens as well. I am looking forward to running errands with Brandon this weekend and doing some Christmas shopping! We are gonna take Pig to Buy Buy Baby and see what that store is all about. We need to purchase a high-chair. The last couple of days she has been getting up on her knees. Not completely crawling yet but she is getting closer. She is sleeping well through the night in her bed. I am glad she is enjoying her bed but I miss her being in our room : ( Well that is about as exciting as my life is for today..........

Monday Monday Monday!

Yeah! It's Monday again! Start to a new week. I am so thankful I wake up on Monday mornings to be so blessed to have the opportunity to start a new week with a healthy family. I had a great weekend celebrating my 10 year reunion. Everyone pretty much looks the same and a lot hasnt changed with some people. Several girls like myself just recently had babes. We had a great time.

Well it finally happened. Libby slept in her own bed last night while we slept upstairs in our bed and she did great! She slept from 9 am until 6:15 am. I had to go down at 4 and roll her on her belly but she was asleep the whole time. I am so proud of her. Pig is 29 weeks this week (I think...) and she will be 7 months on the 13th. She is getting to be a big girl! She is started to get up on her knees when she scoots so she might start doing a real crawl soon.

I am looking forward to see what this week will bring...and I am counting down for Thanksgiving! Yay! Can't wait!!

I need sleep....

Well its only 8:33 am and I have been up since 4:17 am. I did go back to sleep for an hour and dreamed crazy weird dreams and woke up in a startle so I'm not going to count that. Why does this kid not like sleep? I cannot believe I created a kid that does not like sleep as much as I do. Oh well...tis life I guess. Brandon was sweet and got back up with her at 7:00 and let me sleep until 7:30. He is so sweet. After I got up I asked him to take a bath and he agreed with no hesitation even if it did make him late for work. He is great!

Libby had a great first Halloween. I was super inspired to make a costume now of something creative. Two sisters came to my parent's door, one was a sun and the other was a cloud. It was precious. I have a year to come up with something...it's got to be good! Libby is shaking her head no now. It's hilarious. She uses it appropriately too.

Well this has got to be cut short...pig is crying and she pooped. Gotta go!

This Weekend

That about sums up this weekend! Took a nap during the yucky UK game and Libby loved her Halloween goodies from her Nana!!

Halloween is coming!!!

I cannot believe it is Thursday already! I am super stoked about dressing up and going to a Halloween party tomorrow night! I can't wait! Piglet is staying at my house with Nana. They are going to have a slumber party! Libby is finally sitting up. I thought there was something wrong with her. She isn't great at it but she is just learning. I am looking forward to spending some time with my hubby this weekend. I am so blessed to have him...I know I say that all the time but I really am! That's about all I have for today. I will post of pic of Libby on halloween! yay!

weekend update

I cannot believe it is already Tuesday! We had a great weekend! Mom and dad brought chicken over for dinner which I had been craving for forever. Nothing like some good ole KFC! On Saturday Brandon got a haircut and we went to Boyd's Orchard with friends and it was so fun! I can't wait until next year when Libby is walking and playing. She will love it. She got to sit on a hay bale and pull a goat's ear. That was about all she could do this year. On Sunday we did our makeup fall frenzy pics with Libby's halloween costume and then had family pics with my cousins with Papaw's truck. That is going to be my present to Mamaw this year for Christmas. Libby was in the pics too. She was about 2 and a half months away from being born when he died. He was looking forward to her coming.

This week has started out way better than last. Libby went through a 4-5 day phase of waking up in the night, going back down then getting back up early. It was rough! I think it was harder than when she was a newborn because at least then you go to bed knowing you are going to get up at some point but this time it was just completely random. We had gotten out of the habit and it sucked! The lack of sleep made me a big grouch last week. Libby's first word is probably going to be a cuss word now because of hearing me gripe at 2 in the morning. haha. I posted not too long ago on facebook that I wondered what it was like to sleep past 6:45 am. Well I know now...she has slept the past two nights to 7:00 am. Hey its 15 minutes but I will take it!

My attitude on things are starting to change. I feel like people will have to suffer natural consequences for their actions and have no one to blame but themselves for choices they have made. It may be later down the road but it will happen. I feel that is better than going to that person and making a big stink and then nothing changes. Ultimately people make time for what they want to make time for and make their own priorities. It is unfortunate that Libby is not in their list of priorities and that hurts me as her mother but I cant make someone want to take interest in her. I just continue to pray that I don't let my anger and disappointment consume me. I hope I can just put it off to the side in my mind and one day it will come up and I will be able to voice my hurt over it. I just have to remember that in the end they will have to answer for their decisions.
