7

Terrell today you are 7. I can not believe it has gone by so quickly. You are an amazing son, you teach me things about myself that I never knew. You love riding your bike now with no training wheels even if it was hard at first. You are mostly nice to your baby brother. I know it is hard being the oldest and always being expected to do the right thing. Mom and Dad are working on not expecting so much from you in regards to your brother. The year of 6 was full of a lot of changes and new things. We got a new house, you got a new school, new friends, your own bedroom. You learned how to read and you love math. I love watching you play in the yard with your brother when you think I am not looking. Mostly I just love you, you are awesome and I am having the time of my life being your Mom. HAPPY 7th BIRTHDAY T!

18 Month checkup

Jayden had his 18 month check up today. He is 26.2 pounds and 36.6 inches long. He is doing great. He got 4 shots which he was none to happy about at all. He did not even like the doctor touching him today. He screamed each time Dr. P came near him. Poor guy had a traumatizing day to say the least. He is home with Daddy now and hopefully we will not have any reactions to the DPT shot tonight. I thought I would add to his lst of words he says now, in addition to the ones from the last post we also now say:

1. Sponge bob ( yeah I know he is too young to watch TV)
   
2. Foot ball
3. Car
4. dinty ( for his binky)

It is amazing how much bigger his vocabulary is in just a few days time.

Terrell is doing great, he loves school but the whole having an attitude things is getting a little old for me. What the hell I did not expect this out of a 6 year old. Any advice?

My birthday is in a few days and I am so excited because I am getting a new cell phone. I am getting the LG touch. I can't wait to play with it. That is all that is new in my world. What is new in yours?

1 YEAR

One year ago today at 8:11am Terrell became a big brother. Jayden was very much wanted and loved from the moment we decided to have another baby. Through all the ups and downs of infertility having a little person again is what kept me going. He was 7 pounds 11 ounces and just beautiful. I can not imagine our family without him in it. Terrell loves being the big brother and teaching J all kinds of fun stuff. My husband loves being a Dad and gets special pleasure out of the fact that J prefers him to anyone else. I love being a Mom to 2 boys. The days when they both climb on my lap and cuddle are my favorites. Jayden is so big now, walking all around. Playing with us and laughing like a crazy man. He has 7 teeth now and his 1 year molars are coming in too. It is hard for me to believe that he has been here for a year already, it seems like only yesterday he looked like this:


And now he looks like this:

Bullets Again!

I have all kinds of stuff on my mind so I figured a bullet post was due.

• Terrell turns 6 in 72 days!
• Jayden turns 1 in 110 days.
• I turn 39 in umm just forget that!
• Seriously we are gonna buy a house.
• I am scared shitless.
• Found out we might be eligible for down payment and closing cost assistance depending on what city we buy in.
• Sitting on a hard wood chair for 5 hours is not good for a bad back.
• Buying a house is really freaking complicated.
• The whole octuplet mom thing pisses me off
• Her doctor and or clinic was irresponsible
• it gives a bad look to all who use ART
• My doctor freaked about putting 3 back
• I am addicted to House
• I love Hugh Laurie
• I am still not sure what to do about my Dad.
• I did call and will most likely call again tomorrow
• I just don't want to have him die and then wish I had called him more often
• At least it will be snowing here again tomorrow so we will have something to talk about
  

38

Well it is offical I am 38 now. I guess that means I am a grown up now huh? I am looking forward to having a nice birthday with my family. Can't wait to see what they got me.

My best joke is.....

My Birthday

Thanksgiving was nice but my birthday sucked. First I had to ask my husband for my present, I got it unwrapped and with no card. Niiice, then he was in a mood yesterday and kept telling me that my birthday is just another day. That is all well and good for him but it is important to me, glad I am so important to him. We went to Susan's house for dinner, well let me rephrase that. T and I went to Susan's about noon with orders to call Tony when the food would be ready. We call and tell him appetizers now dinner in a hour or so. Our friend Scott and Tony show up the eat and leave. He forgot to bring my birthday cake that was sitting in the fridge, once again I get to see just how important I am to him. I was so embarrassed with the way he just up and left. Yesterday was just not a good day for me. I felt very out of place at dinner and everything. I love Susan but I think next year I will cook my own Thanksgiving, Some of the people there were just a bit overwhelming. Now normally I do the dishes after dinner it being my birthday this year I did not do any. We ate on paper plates and when I left she had a sink full of dishes. I sure hope her friend got off her ass and washed them. I don't know I am just not feeling so great about things lately. I am thinking of going back on the zoloft cause I sure as hell do not want to feel like this all pregnancy.

Birthdays!

Well yesterday was Terrell's birthday. We had a party at my work and it was a blast! We had a magician who was wonderful with the kids and the adults. He did this really cool trick at the end with T for his helper. He made Terrell float in the air. Very cool trick. It was a windy wet day but we did not let that dampen our party. The kids all had a great time with the pinata, but it kept falling down from the ceiling. We finally had to tear open the pinata and give all the kids the candy. T got lots of great presents including 3 red sox shirts. You gotta love all the uncles. He also got a bike from us, a skateboard, kneepads, wrestlers, better batter baseball from ESPN, plus a ton of other stuff. Here are a bunch of pictures from the party.
