Ri 6 month update

Yup 6 months already......where did it go!

At his appointment he was fine up till she poked him with the 1st needle, he was not pleased then he saw her come with another then another. He settled when she was done then he saw her (the nurse) go for his legs again to put the band aid on he started to cry out, guess he thought she was giving him another needle, stopped when she moved away from him.

For his measurements:
25% range

Weight ~ 14lbs 2oz ( 6.4 kilogram)
Height ~ 64cm (25.2inch)
Head ~ 42.2cm (16.61 inch)

He and Lil O weight is the same at 6m but he is 1 inch smaller then Lil O was a 6m.

Lil O stayed home with daddy and I guess he cried the whole time I was gone with Ri (1hr) When I came in the door this is what I saw........

He cried so hard that he fell asleep there. Dh was doing dishes and thought that Lil O was just still sulking because he could hear him doing that weird breathing they do when they have cried..lol

Lil O is feeling better today.

so sad ...

My mummy's doggy passed away today this is so sad. Angie has been my mum's companion for 17yrs. She was a good girl up till the end. My mum is so sad right now that she can not even talk to anyone. I am even crying here......

Rest in peace Angie


this was the email :

It is with a sad & heavy heart, I must inform you, we lost our dog Angie today. She was part of our family, and was Ollie's friend and companion long before I met them both. She fought hard to get well, but just slowly got worse, and I believe she just gave up at the end.. Already, the absence of her is felt, even thought she spent most of the day in bed at the last.. On the last visit to the Vet, he could see, her time had come, and nothing more could be done for her... She had a very good long life, and could not have had any one better for a owner, that my Ollie,... BUT, for a while, there will be an ache in our hearts, and if you see us "tear-up" some time, its because we have Sooooo many great memories of her, and I have to go now..... I'm getting tears on my key board..
B

Lil O is under the weather....

It all started when he had that crappy sleep on the night of Sept 21. He 1st woke at 2am babbling away then he feel back to sleep at 3am woke again crying at 3:3o am so I went in to comfort him, woke again whimpering at 4:10am so I went back in and I noticed he was feeling hot. From then on he was waking every 20min or so crying. Finally around 6am I just had to let him cry it out so I could get some sleep, he fell asleep and we all woke at 9am.

Today he is still feeling crappy.

Miracles and Dreams

that is what this is all about Jules had her long awaited baby today.

Congratulations my friend you now have an earth angel to hold.

Welcome baby girl to the world.

I am so incredibly happy for you.

Another Miracle and another Dream came true......

My new resident

this thing is living outside my spare bedroom window which is above my back deck... Gross yuck yuck yuck! It even ate a dragon fly the other day. I did not get a pic of that because I did not think to take a photo through that window till today and here I was trying to zoom in real close to it from my deck for like a week...duh. It is about and inch big it just grosses me out! (the glare is from the window, if you think I am going to open the window you are WRONG!..lol)

This spider looks nothing like the ones in Sunny Patch (Miss Spider, the cartoon)
nope he/she don't.

I would die for that....

This is a song I found on youtube by Kellie Coffey about wanting a baby....infertility
I cried listening to it so many feeling came back.

Going for 3

third baby that is.... Dh and I spoke a little about this the other night, I need to start the IVIG. Not sure if I am ready yet but since the treatment is still "free" we need to go for it..kwim ....... I am ready but not.. Not sure but I feel a little scared too. Dh and I were saying with all my pg's one thing is always different.
Did the IVIG with O and went to 33w

Did IVIG with RI had Subchorionic Hematoma went to 33w but was then shipped off to another province

This next one will most likely be early as well but how early?? and still have the risk of being shipped off to another province or even the states again, will be on IVIG. Could have a c-section. Gotta try for that girl..lol

He is in mid-air
(jumping out the door is a new found "fun" thing to do)

Potty night it was

(1yr 11months 2weeks 3days old)

Orion went pee pee in the potty!

Every time we go up to his bathroom to brush his teeth he wants to sit on the potty. SO last night we brushed his teeth then he pointed to the potty yanked on his pants, I thought hmmm so I took his diaper off sat him on it. We sat there reading a couple of books then he kept standing up, Id reach for him he say Nooooo and sit back down so after about 10min I stood to leave thinking he'd follow me out well he did stand up looked like he was going to follow then he said seeeeee and sat down then I heard his little trickle of pee. I turned to look at him and he was sitting with his left leg in the air saying oh o. He was angeled a bit to the left so some went in the potty and some went down his leg....lol
He was mighty proud of himself as I was for him too. My little boy is growing up!

Now we will see if we get this lucky again today.

Ok photos updated....

just for you aunt L and my cousin G..lol

Mum said you mentioned I have not done pics in a while, thanks for getting my butt in gear...lol. I just keep putting it off and then well it just builds up..

I promise to be a better photo poster......now that I am caught up.

Ri update (Torticollis, Flathead)

We went for his 4month needle today even tho he is 5months as of yesterday.

Weight ~ 13.2 pound = 5.9 Kilogram
Length ~ 69 centimeter = 27.1 inch
Head ~ 43 centimeter = 16.9 inch

He took his needles well all three of them, cried while getting the shots but stopped shortly afterwards. The nurse also noticed that his head leans to the right and the more she looked him over she said that it looks like he may have Torticollis (wry neck). She took my Dr name done and said she'd sent her a fax letting my Dr know. The nurse gave me a number for physiotherapy I am to call for the Torticollis.

Dr N office called to let me know that the head specialist called them back about the refferal for Ri's Plagiocephaly (flat head syndrome) and that they like to see him between 6 and 7months of age, I guess that means his appointment will be in about 2months.

What is Ri up to these days:

- He handles tummy time well able to hold his head up high and for a good length of time.
- He babels none stop..lol
- Laughs and smile tons especially at his big bro.
- Sleeps 8hrs a night (been doing this for a little over 2months now)
- Rolls from tummy to back
- grasp things when held in front of him

Went shopping at

Wally world (Wall-mart)

They boys in the cart, Ri over the basket part in the carseat and Lil O in the front seat. I strolling along and I see this little girl a bit older the Lil O,well she saw the boys and said baby and pointed to Ri and then she started to try to climb my cart to get to him. I told her No but she kept trying so I moved the cart to the side away from her she came at the cart again grabing a hold of it this time I said No NO louder, then I saw her dad peak around the corner lead her away and gave ME the dirty look... UM hello your kid was trying to climb my cart!

A few minutes later I hear this screaming child and when I look behind me it was that little girl yelling at the top of her lungs at her parents.... Just glad mine were not screaming that day.

Oh why does it have to HURT (m)

I am on my 3rd O(ovulation) since having Ri and they still are very painful! OWIE...

I have only had 2 af so far and they have been nice to me (knock on wood).

The difference between O and AF is:
O - hurts on the side I O on and goes up into my ribs down to my thigh around my lower back traveling to my front. It is more painful when I O on the right side then when I O on the left, they say that is because my egg is released from the right side it has no place to go so this egg travels around in my body no tube to go to bumping into my insides(the left tube can pick up the egg sometimes not very often..ha ha, this is how I got pg with my boys, maybe happens more often then they think)

AF - it only hurts in the lower front and back.

They are both usually painful for me... I am one of the lucky ones.
As my dh would say, all part of being a woman. my response yeah I am the lucky on that get to feel everything.


Still debating on when to try for #3 baby #eight pg, now that Ri is much much better I find myself thinking of #3 more often. Maybe start at the end of the yr or around March. I can not wait to long because who knows how long IVIG stays a trail here.

Gambling

Have you notice that Gambling can make your mood go south...

My 2 sis H, J and I took our mum out to the casino for her 65th birthday and would you not believe it not 10min goes by before my mum won over $300.00 I don even think she spent $20.00 yet they actually come to you to pay it to you . I was playing one game and was trying to put 5 more dollars in but the thing would not take my money so I tried a different $5 still would not take it so I took that as a sign and I stepped away from the game and watched mum play. Then this lady came sat at the game I was at it took her money and she won $90.00 was I not happy...*%#$*%!
we went to have a bite to eat before we all went off to gambling more. H 1st sat at a Wheel of Fortune game and right away she was doing great, the rest of us went to another game and well lost.. One game yet again did not want me to play, it took my money and jammed the machine wait for the guy to come a fix it and I was off to another.... I lost $20.00.
Mum called me over to play Wheel of Fortune, I sit and I play H & J were playing to and mum's friend J. H was doing good she kept getting the bonus game and then mums friend was too, my sis J was not doing so good so she moved onto another one and well as for me not notta thing but I kept playing. Mum came and sat at the game my sis J was on and on her 1st spin won. (good thin J was not around...lol) then once again those around me are getting the bonus rounds bells and I have nothing.... well all was not lost buy the end of the night just before we left I decided to play one more game and won my money back, $90.00 worht. Man gambeling can be draing and very depressing.

My mum had fun. Happy 65th mum.

Dr update on Ri

Dr N look at his head and said yes it is a bit off, his right ear is forward a bit and his flat spot is noticeable. Said she'd put in a referral for the head specialist but it could take a few months before we get in. She also said that she has seen many babies with flat heads and most of them resolved on there own but just in case the referral will be in.

Lil O was freaked when I opened the Dr office door to enter he did not want to go in at all. He look at the nurse R she tried to greet him but he turned his head into my leg and cried, she rushed us into the other room to wait for Dr N. Lil O was quiet till Dr N walked in, he wanted nothing to do with her either. Every time she look his way he'd turn his head away from her saying noooooo.

Anybody else's Dr Kiss there kids head? I noticed she did this to Ri. I know she is so happy my boys are here she calls them little miracles her self, babies are so kissable I have probably kissed mine a million times +++. but a Dr kissing your kid??

Ding dong goes the door bell

I open then door with Lil O in tow, What do I see 1st is a little girl holding a orange container with 4 wilting daisy heads. I then look up and see four more kids standing at the door (age ranging between (6-8yrs) one asks would you buy a flower for two dollars... I look back down at the almost soon to be dead flower heads and politely say no sorry not today. As they turn and walk away I hear one say we are tring to raise money for us...... hmmm for what I wonder.

What ever happened to the good Ole lemonade stand?

Wednesday Ri has a Dr appointment

for his head. He has developed a flat head, he favors the right side so now it is somewhat flat and it has pushed his right ear forward a bit. He does do tummy time in his bassinet or on the floor when big bro is not close by otherwise he tries to jump over Ri...can not have that. I have started to put Ri in his exercise saucer and this is when I noticed he even leans to the right all the time. I stuff little blankets around him so he does not lean over so much and yet he still does. I called the Dr made the appointment because I would like to try to correct this sooner then later. I will post a photo in a bit.

When we go to the Dr I am going to have her check Lol O out too because the other day while changing his bottom I notice a lump/raise part of skin on his right hip area, it is on the skin because when I move the skin the lump moves too... hopefully that is nothing.

You want this? Or how about this..

What about his one....

This is the scene I saw when I went to see what lil O was up to (he was a little to quiet)
I guess Lil O was giving Ri some "things" in his bassinet the other day. I caught him just in time before he threw in one of daddy's shoes (which was aiming right for Ri's head.) but O did not miss his head he had black marks from the shoes on his forehead. When I took the shoes away he started to point at Ri saying see see, I don't think Ri wants to see daddy's shoes at this moment baby Ri is sleeping.

My heart just jump

right out of my chest or very close to it . Orion got hurt at the store today and I feel like the worst mother ever. Why is it that you try to be very careful with your kids and other don't pay much attention to there own and MINE gets hurt.
This is one of those infamous cart incidents, Orion leaned over trying to reach another cart which I had pushed a way from him moments before because he could fall over trying to reach it. Well no matter how far I pushed it away he was intent on trying to reach it and out he went. It happened so fast yet so slow, I tried to reach him to stop falling but since kids are top heavy over he went feet up in the air ( a cartwheel motion) and his head hit the bottom of the cart then the ground. I dropped what I was holding and took the one step to get to him. I picked him up check over his head and saw that he already had a bump and bruise on his forehead and on the side, then I just held him close to me as I let him cry as we sat in the middle of the isle of Wal-mart with me whispering I am sorry it is ok let it out I am so so sorry, kissing him over and over and over. As we are sitting on the floor I started to think it could of been worst he could of took Ri with him, could of kick the carseat over of even the whole cart could of tipped over...I don't want to think of that...Oh G*D.
When he settled some I gave him some juice then I moved Ri to the cart and sat Orion in the seat part (these carts are not big enough). On they way to the baby section of the store what do I see a kid the same age as Orion in the cart (basket part) standing all by himself I looked around for the parent and I could seen none no one and that made me mad I because I was standing right there and MY son fell out and yet here is this kid all by himself and nothing, are they waiting for something to happen..... while I always try to prevent it.

I can not get that vision out of my head, I feel so bad and guilty and so mad that they don't make the carts like they have a Cosco.

Orion seems ok he was back to his ole self in a matter of minutes, we are home and he is napping I am checking on him ever 20min also I have his monitoer up high so I hear him breathing.

A bad mommy day for me today.....

Let this be a lesson for you all out there DO NOT LET your CHILD STAND IN THE CART BASKET part if they have to be in it and PLEASE NEVER LEAVE THEM ALONE IN THE CART. I was even careful and it still happened.

Some photos

Here is Lil O at 22m, I took this at my sister J house:


Here is Ri at 3 months:


My new do, cut a lot off (I'd like to no where all this hair comes from because my mum and Sisters do not have as much as I do..lol, I think it is from my grandma on my mums side).


I have also updated the boys photo galleries ------>

Behind or what...

That is me, I have fallen behind on my blog and other things.

I have be fighting with the computer again it was moving oh so very slow. So dh and I cleared some things off it and in doing so I messed up my photo shop CS2 which took me a couple of days to try and fix it, I was getting a bit frustrated..lol... I need to play with my photos. It is up and running good now.

Went a bought a new car seat for Ri the other day. I got the same kind I have for Lil O it is just a different color. As we were in the store (Mum and B) the sales lady came up and spoke with mum (I was looking at the seat) and I heard mum say we are here for a car seat for the wee guy and the sales lady said Oh he does not have a car seat? I said he has one but it is the bucket seat and he does not like it much. Then she looked at the one I was looking at and took the number down and walked away, I though ok she is going to check something on it?? She came back asked for my # then said I could pick it up at the docking area. I looked at her and said well I am not sure I want it yet I need to try my son in it 1st to make sure he sits in it fine. Ri fit fine it it he was smiling away while he sat in it..lol Mum and B had gift cards they put towards it which took $50.00 off it (every little bit helps) Before we picked it up at the docks we went down the mall to Wally world and as I was in line up there this women asked if she could have my cart, she was behind me as I looked at B and asked if he still needed it and when I turn towards the lady we both looked at each other and was shocked to see each other we said each others names at the same time and laughed. We grew up on the same street when I was a kid and my parents were still together, he little sis and I were best buds. I have not seen her in about 20 yrs...lol She does not look so tall anymore which means I have grown over the years.

When we got back to mums I put the new seat in the car had a cup of tea and we were on our way to a friends house for a visit. Orion played well there even when the little girl sprayed him with the hose he did not flinch (it was hot out so it probably felt good to him..lol) It was another late night for the boys but they did good again.

Oh and I got my hair cut yesterday, it was below my bra strap and now it sits at my shoulders and she straightened my hair. I like the cut but still debating on the length of it (good thing my hair grows like a weed) I think I may like it a bit longer. She also kept commenting on how much hair I have, guess I have a lot of it and thick..lol

For the last week Ri has been sleeping for 6 to 7hrs a night (that is when I go to bed at midnight) he actually falls asleep at 9pm and I wake him to feed at midnight when I go to bed and he sleeps thru his feed (dream feeds they call it) then we sleep till then he wakes up at 7a-7:30am

Lil O sure likes to copy what you say now, so we have to be careful in what we say good thing we do not swear in this house it is the other people we have to worry about.

that is my update for the moment... I will be updating photos real soon... Oh I did get some scrapbooking done I will take pics of them too.

I am having a bit of a hard time with this little boy of mine, every time I try to go to the park or where ever Ri starts to scream his little head off, sometimes I still go out but most of it I just stay in.....I am a cooped up mommy a friend even called me a hermit the other day.

Am I bad to want a break from Rilon, I feel bad because I tried so hard for these boys and now I am asking for a break from one...

I have not forgotton

about blogging just been busy with a tiny little guy who seems to demand my attention...

It has been nice here for the last week and so I decided to go to the park ( I have not been out to much, call me a hermit) but as usual Ri starts to scream his head off then it sets Lil O off and I try to get things ready to go out and while I do this I am thinking is it really worth it... to go out....yes, yes it is. Lil O needs to get out as do I, Ri will get used to it in time I guess.

We survived and Ri fell asleep while Lil O and I played, it was a nice hour of fun.

It was a nice early morning.

Why do I do this...

I belong to a photography group on line and someone posted a question about bereavement photography "now i lay me down to sleep" photos of babies that have died. The photographer goes and take the photos free of charge, precious memories for the parents. so I checked out the site knowing full well..... I bawled.
Dh came into the room and said whats wrong? I tried to tell him but I could not stop crying, I finally got it out. His response was don't show me, it is too hard. Then he said why do you do this?
Why do I do this... I don't know but something pulls me in that direction it is hard to explain, I kind of know the pain these parents feel.

The site was beautiful and so very touching.

I would do this if I could, maybe when my boys are older.......

-----

Later that night I was watching TV while feeding Ri and well it was about a boy that was kidnapped and I started to cry yet again, dh looked at me and said "why do you do this to yourself" I said your right and changed the channel.... and hugged my baby close to me.

Went to the Zoo

Yesterday, what a beautiful day it was too. The Zoo was packed I mean packed..lol.
I met up with my mum and sis H. When we went to pay that is when I noticed that they raised the entrance fee $ 20.00 up $5 from last year(I did not notice the price increase when I went a few weeks ago because I had a free pass), so now you better stay for then then just 1hr or 2... we stayed four..lol Lil O walked for most of it only sat to eat. He had so much fun, and he was such a good boy. The only thing that scared him was the elephants.

here are a couple of photos.

Naughty spot

Yes that is right the naughty spot has begun....

For a couple of weeks I feel like the only conversation Lil O and I have is me saying "No", "Not A toy" "Don't touch that" NO..... It gets real tiring after awhile and I don't want just those words coming out of my mouth, KWIM. Plus he now says no no lots..lol

So I was trying to think of what I could do after my 1,2,3 count (I don't like the spanking idea) and then it hit me a few nights ago while Supernanny was on (I have not seen this show for a while) the NAUGHTY SPOT...hmmmm I thought to myself. I started to look around my maid floor to think of the best naughty spot spot, which is beside the stairs going up and between the front door.

Then I put it to the test.....

I was cleaning and Lil O was wanting to touch the computer I told him no, don't touch that please, when he did it again I told him that is 1 ( he pulls his hands away) then he went for it again I said in a firmer voice O that is 2, If mommy has to tell you 3 you go to the Naughty spot. 2minutes go by he is just sitting there and then he reaches out and pushes the computer button and then looks at me... I said to him 3 to the naughty spot, mommy said not to touch and you did not listen. I took him to the spot sat him down and said you sit in the naughty spot for a minute because you did not listen and I walked away. He cried and got up and walked away I took him back sat him down and said you did not listen you stay in the naughty spot, then walked away again. He tried to walk away again I took him back without saying a word sat him down and walked away. And guess what he stayed he really stayed mind you e was crying his little head off but he stayed for the minute, then I went to him he gave me a hug and we went about our day.

The next day I used it again in the morning, I only had to put him in the spot once and he stayed crying, but for the rest of the day I never had to get to 3... can he really get it that fast. Most of the time when I'd say that's ONE he'd pull his hand back look at me and I'd say remember 3 means Naughty Spot and then he'd think about it a moment and move on to something else...lol YEAH.

Now I have to stick to my guns.

We can take him.....right?

Ri had his 3m Dr appointment today

But let me tell you that as I was getting ready to leave the house I changed his diaper 3x's yup 3x's in a matter of 5minutes..lol the reason for this is that he PEED on me 3 times in a row. After the second time I thought well there can not be more...so I washed him down with baby soap and water and just as I was down pee all over again.....I thought WHAT THE...lol...DH was laughing.
Finally got Ri dressed (by this time he is screaming his little head off) put him in the car seat which he did not like one bit. DH said enjoy your drive..ha ha very funny.

Ri cried the whole way (30 min drive) only stopped to catch his breathe.....man does he have a good set of lungs on him.

anyways, Dr N is happy with his growth he is climbing the chart well and he is very proportioned.

Weight ~ 9 lbs 13oz (4 141 gram)
Height ~ 22 inches (56.5 cm)

Dr was nice she gave me 4 little cans of Enfamil A+ formula.

Went to Wal-Mart afterwards for some things and when I came out the clouds were dark, and as I was putting Ri in the car and I turned to walk around to my side these 2 men were standing behind the car (kind of freaked me out, I thought they were looking at me) looking up behind me so I turned and look and there was a funnel cloud, I never saw one in real life before (not that I want to either) I wished I had my camera on me at that point and I hoped that nothing came of it either. Nothing did come of it...thanks the heavens. because we have nowhere to hide if it did, our basement is a walk out and we have very big window down there and it is not developed all the way yet.

Well that was my day.

Photo Hunters ~ Shoes

Become a Photo Hunter | View Blogroll

He will hate me for this later. Here is my son and for some reason he has a thing for shoes as you can see..lol He tries to wear them all the time or else he carries them. (he is also attempting to sign shoes)

Someone asked....

What were YOUR parents like.........?

Hmmmmm.


They are divorced...and when he divorced her he divorced me too, walked away washed his hands of me. I feel like he left me because I chose to live with my mum, my 3 sisters stayed with him (I was 9yrs old) (yes I know the reason to which I will not get into)

My mum is a strong woman she did a lot for me and I mean a lot (I realize this more so now then when I was younger)

Out of my 3 older sisters only one now speaks to him, in the last 7 yrs he managed to push 2 of them away my oldest sis is still hanging on to him....why???.

When growing up all I remember is being afraid of him somewhat, why I don't know but I was. Maybe I will post more on this one day but I can say he never beat us yes I have had spankings but never beatings.







children...they...we...are so innocent, yet so affected.

Well it finally happened (m)

Lil O fell down the stairs, DH and I never moved so fast.

I was in his room putting his clothes away dh was on the computer on the main floor. Lil O was upstairs with me. He kept walking to the stairs and laughing then he started to take his toy bus to the stairs he wanted to push it down the stairs, well instead of the bus just going he went with it. I heard the thump and I ran and he was hanging onto the step (he fell half way before he held on for life) He is fine all our hearts are beating just a bit faster at the moment..lol

Premonitions

1. A presentiment of the future; a foreboding.
2. A warning in advance; a forewarning.

Ever have these? Well I had two withing 24hrs, and this freaks me out!

1st was of Ri falling from someones hands....... fast forward 24hrs to DH holding Ri last night he stood up and then Ri did a twitch and wiggled from DH's hands and Dh lost his hold on him and all I can say is thank g*d the couch is soft and was near, Ri is fine dh and my hearts are not.

2nd was today of Lil O, he was playing and I was sitting down and then it hit a vision of him falling on his head and his neck was all twisted...... would you not know it that 45minutes later I am feeding Ri and Lil O was playing on the couch and off he goes head 1st his little head bent totally to the side that it streached his neck then he fell onto his back into his toys, once againg my heart stopped and Lil O is fine he had a crying fit but all is fine.

sometimes you just have to pay attention to those little warnings in your head.......

Wordless Wednesday

At the Zoo

Penny for his thoughts

Tackle it Tuesday...

Well I did it, I finally tided up the front yard garden pulled some well lots of weeds clipped off the dead part of my lilies. I forgot to take a before pick but I am got to it because I am going to the flower store (Sunnyside) to get more perennials to plant up front tomorrow(I will take a pic tomorrow)

Both boys were napping so I took advantage of it.

Ri needle update

2 month needle

The appointment was for 12:50pm. Dh took an hour off work to watch Lil O so I did not have to bring both boys with me (plus Lil O would of probably freaked, thinking he was back for another poke) .

Ri now weighs ~ 3.78kg (8lbs 5.5oz) he was 4lbs 2.2oz at birth
Height ~ 52cm (20.5inc) he was 16.5 inches at birth
Head Circum ~ 37.5cm

He is almost at the 50% for his adjusted age.

He was not to happy that he had to get naked, and just before I took the diaper off he left a gift...lol
They weighed and measured him. I asked the nurse to look at his head because I thought that the one side was looking "flat" she said that it was just a bit and then asked me about his tummy time. Well tummy time is a bit hard with big bro running around and everytime I lay Ri on the floor Lil O wants to jump around his little bro's head if not that he throws his toys on Ri to play with or he wants to hug and kiss yank and pull. So the tummy time Ri gets is in his bassinette which I think he is tired of. The nurse said the head does not start to form hard till about 4months, I guess I need to really give him more tummy time no matter what.

The Nurse then pulled out the needles had me hold Ri in my lap facing out towards her and she took his skinny leg in her hand and squeezed it to be able to get the needles in (I am still amazed at how long they are) well he did scream and cry out for all three shots then as I went to cuddle him to me he queited right down and looked up at the wind chime she had, she was impressed witht that and said most 2m old do not notice the chime. We went and sat in the waiting area for the 15min waiting period after the needle. There was another mom there having here baby girl weighed and she was 15lbs (I thought she was about 4m old) well the mom commented on Ri and asked his age then I asked her about her DD and well her DD was 2m old aswell at 15lbs! Wow. She laughed and said she makes chunky monkeys.

Ri has been sleep pretty much of the time since we came home. So looks like he may take after his brother.... I hope.

2 months old

ALREADY!

He is grown so fast, it seems faster then what Lil O grew. Ri goes for his 2month check up and 1st round of needles on May 25 (should be fun) I look at him and I am still yet amazed once again that I have another perfect healthy son... I am blessed.

Orion update:
What a little boy he is turning into. Talking more along with signing the words, I am so amazed at how fast he has been picking up on signing.
He signs and says;
Eat, milk, car, bus, shoes, ball, cat, dog, thank you, please, sleep, baby, more.... I know there is more he signs but I can't seem to think of them at the moment. I am trying to get videos of him signing as well.

He also seems to have a shoe fetish lately (I have a photo somewhere I will post later)

Orion will be intruduced to the potty this week

-------

I seem to be falling behind on the photo department of Ri and then some, I need to organize myself better. I start one thing and then tend to wander off on to another without finishing the last then I end up with too many things on the go, which drives me crazy. Which leads me to join a group of bloggers called Tackle it Tuesdays, where I have to tackle one thing on a Tuesday I have to post a pic of the before and then a pic of it done.

I also joined a photo site called Photo Hunters, yes I seem to be adding more to my list of things..lol

Things I need to tackle:

~ Organize my E-bay selling stuff and move them to the basement.
~ Organize my scrap booking stuff and bring to the main floor (easier access for me so I can actually work on some pages....I hope)
~ Go thru my photos and select one to print (which is too many)
~ Clean out the basement
~ Clean Ri's and O's rooms (go thru there clothes)
~ The yard, pull weeds plant some flowers and what not.... (I am jealous of my neighbours yard... very jealous)
~ Clean the deck
~ Find out where I can dump our old T.V and microwave.

I am sure there is more

Well I need to go and pump... yup still doing that but I have cut down on it, slowly stopping.

boiling water for lunch

camera action....

Dh bought me a mini Digital camcorder, he gave it to me on mothers day.

backtrack here:

I woke up on Mothers Day not expecting anything from him (he grew up not celebrating these kind of days) I am slowly getting use to it and realizing they are just another day (I will get into that later) so my day was good I get the boys ready to go for dinner to my Sis J house my mum and other sis H are there too and the rest of the family. I get in the door and my sis H takes Orion and disappears I think nothing of it..lol... she and O come around the corner and he is caring a plant, me being clueless was not thinking it was for me (I thought it was for my mum, I am use to giving not receiving) I then said OH this is for me...lol
Dh arrived a bit later and as he was getting O ready for supper dh asked me to go get a bag out of the car because it should not stay outside, I thought nothing of it and went to get the bag. When I opened the trunk of his car there were a couple of bags and I thought to myself great which one so I look in the bags the 1st was a yellow one then I realized a Best Buy bag and then I saw it, the digital camera... my dh made me very happy at that moment because he finally surprised me.
So be for warned that you will be seeing lots of videos in the near future, I have to play with my new toy right?

Ah if only I

could sleep like that.click on pic to see the video

Well I kind of did tonight, we had some friends over (D,S, & C) and watched Spiderman 3 well they did I was out like a light I did not even hear them leave, dh laughed at me when I woke..lol

guess I am tired.

Wordless Wednesday

Hope I did this right this is my 1st post for Wordless Wednesday:

Still struggling to keep

pumping or not. I feel so guilty when I think about stopping. It is just so draining (no pun intended) I feel guilty because I was able to pump for lil O for almost 6 months, and feel guilty because Like a fellow Bogger (citygirltales) says "I love giving my baby breastmilk. But I hate what I have to do to get it. I will probably always regret that I have to give her formula, but I won't regret no longer having to be chained to the pump for hours a day, or having to listen to or see her squealing happily alone on her playmat while I sit three feet away bonding with a pair of plastic cones"

I hate how it takes away my time from my babies and I hate having to stop in the middle of things to pump, time my day outs around pumping, I practacly fall asleep at the table while I pump. And with summer coming I do not want to be attached to something when I should be outside playing with my boy(s).

Just how much longer should I continue on with it it the question.

I will admit that I feel like my dh would think differently of me for stopping (that is just me thinking that) which is wrong because he says whatever I want to do is fine with him, Ri has already got the best part of the breastmilk and the formula is not so bad now.

Dr update on Ri

He now weights 6lbs 1oz as of May 1st

If only I had my

Camera on me, because you had to be there to see it.

I took Lil O for his second Flu shot on Apr 30th and well it was like he new what was coming.
I was caring Ri and Lil O was walking next to me and as the Nurse walked around the corner Lil O grabbed my leg and started saying Noo no nooo. I said it is ok come with mommy and as we followed the nurse to her room Lil O was still saying Noo no nooooo, we get into the room I sit him on my lap and when the nurse said hi to him he started to cry and cling on to me (I was feeling bad at this point) so I hugged him close while he started to cry NO NOOO no. The nurse bought out the needle and Lil O got a bit of a glimpse of it and well he turned and was trying to climb me or he was trying to crawl into me. I had to hold his arms down and the Nurse also held his left arm down ( I too was a bit amazed at how long the needle itself was) I watched her put it in and it bent some (must be a flexible needle) and then it was over Lil O was not impressed..lol.
(This is where the camera would of been nice to have) When we were walking out of the room into the waiting area Lil O was holding his arm walking with his head down somewhat and whispering see sniffle see sniffle see sniffle sniffle The others in the waiting area looked at him and I even felt the sympathy from them for him..lol.

All was forgotten later on in the day.
