Retraction

Due to recent events and the video proof of them (see below), I would like to retract my statement that I am ready to do the whole "baby thing" over again.

Now that Brylie is mobile, I realize that a big, fat belly would just make it even more difficult to chase her around.

So, no. Talk to me again when we're potty training.

****************************************

Another thing, Brylie doesn't want baby food anymore.

The last two nights she's thrown fits, spit it out, and nose-dived into my chest.

I guess she's trying to tell me she doesn't want to grow up. And I'm ok with that : )

baby gates and outlet plugs

Well, I guess it's official:

Life as I know it just got a little more dangerous.

What do you think this is?

When I opened up the package of hair bows from China that I ordered, this was in there.

I guess it's some kind of free gift.

Cabbage on a key chain?

Pretty funny.

Somebody stop me

All of a sudden,

I miss being pregnant.

And I miss having a newborn.

And I feel ready to do it over again.

But I'm not.

Am I?

Brandon would freak out if he knew I was thinking this.
Maybe I'll go tell him and videotape his reaction.
: )

Why I Love Brandon...

There are lots of reasons, but here's one that just happened:

Brylie's teething pretty badly right now so getting her to sleep at night has been horrible for the last 3 nights. Tonight, I finally didn't know what to do so I just put her in her crib with music, a pacifier, and a wet washcloth to chew on (for her gums). She cried for a few minutes and then it got quiet.
Brandon came out 10 minutes later with a huge grin on his face and shaking his fists in victory.

I asked, "You did that?"
He said, "Yep."
"How?" I wondered in amazement.
He smiled and said, "I just rocked her, stroked her sweet little face, and told her all of the things I loved about her until she fell asleep."


I'm so glad he's my babydaddy.

Stinkin' Amazing

Just because I'm amazed at what Jenny can do, I have to share...

And those are just a few of them!

...wow...

Borderline anxiety

As of August 25th, I will be a full-time student, working two part-time jobs, with a husband and baby.
Pray for me.

Pray for Brandon, too. He'll be a full-time student, working a full-time job, with a wife and a baby.

And somehow, in all this craziness, we have a plan to help us avoid daycare. Who knows how this'll work, but it's the plan. Let's just say, there will be lots of "Brylie hand-offs" on campus.

I've always kept my schedule full - I prefer to be busy becaue it makes me feel like I'm not wasting time. However, I've never been THIS busy.

I'm slightly nervous, slightly anxious, but very excited to see what the future holds for our family.

So, here we go.
