Love

So I've been a Semi-busy momma!

Roller derby is awesome and Im loving the work out twice a week. Its hard getting in shape lol. This week I plan to get back to counting my daily intake of calories so I can shed some body fat. Im at 183 at the moment...I gained around 10 lbs with this passed pregnancy before miscarriage. I'm ready to shed that 10 pluse 20 more I think.

I can do it! I WILL DO IT!

Other than that I've just been busy with Dexterface and crafting alot for craft swaps.
It's been a fun past few weeks.

What's this?

So its been a great week! We had a nice little weekend, didn't do alot. Spring cleaned and hung out with old grumpy teething Dexter ( but god I love him). A nice weekend.

Ive been in good spirits, and really I think its just because I've been dreaming of Roller derby, and being a roller derby chick! That's all that I can think about and read about. Hell I haven't even gone to a practice yet. But come Tuesday I will be ready to get out there and embarrass myself...I need this!

I feel good and I'm ready. This came at a good time.
I'm ready to get bruised and roughed up, not nervous about that. I AM nervous about meeting the ladies though, like I'm in 7th grade again, afraid they will think I'm a dork.

Wish me luck that I can still skate like I used to, that I make some new friends. And maybe this feeling that I'm gonna love this will be sticking around for awhile.

In love.

With this little man.
He is just getting smarter and cuter every day.
It seems like in the past few weeks he has learned a handful of words, and succesfully climbing in and out and on top of all kinds of stuff. He can take his shoes off and will bring one of them to you when he wants to go outside. Dont try to stop him from going outside because this kid would live out there if we let him. He is alot like his daddy and a little like me, he's a good mix. I'm just very much so enjoying him.

Time...

Time heals all wounds, to a certain point at least.

Thank god this is a so far going swift for me. I begged and pleaded to whatever there is to pray to, that this would happen and fast for me. I just need to move on and start anew. Those prayers were answered in many a sense, I am on the mend. Today I haven't cried but once. Im positive, not in too much pain and looking towards the future. Hopefully it will be completely over by next time I go to my doctor and we can start looking forward to the next time we try (which will wait several months) because I'm just not ready to do this again yet. Im living on pure Hope, my babies smiles, and my Husbands love, add in some great support from our family and thats a cure for at least a tiny bit of my heartbreak.

Though the road may be rough ahead, I will not fear it.

Tonight is Pizza with my boys and our houseguest (my lil brother) and some ice cream<3

<3<3

Losing you...

So we found out yesterday, that we are in fact losing this little one. Technically I would of been 8 weeks and a few days. Baby just didn't make it that far, quite possibly there was just something wrong. And it just isn't its time.

Its been really hard, sooo very hard. I am amazed at how attached you can be to something you have only known a month. Im finding some strength in my little fella. And my wonderful husband. Im so thankful for what I do have. And that is an amazing group of people around me for support. Thank you to everyone.

This little angel has grown its wings for now. Maybe its time will come again. It's now just time to grieve, to heal, and to love whats around me.

6 weeks a couple days and bloated lol.

So being pregnant again is starting to get exciting. Other than feeling queasy constanly and randomly. I also feel like I've got the worst tummy bloat ever. There is also a sever lack of energy at any given time. Typical preggo crap lol.

Im getting excited though. I'm hoping that since I started out this pregnancy 30lbs lighter that I can be "cute" pregnant this time. As in be able to tell Im pregnant before Im like 8 months. I was a whale my last pregnancy ending at a smooth 250 at the end. This time I hope I stop near 200 or less.

In Dexter news, hes just so sweet. He is so free with his kisses, and I love when he goes Vroom as he drives his little cars (too cute)! He also is digging helping me garden, and likes to play in the dirt. Man I just love that little guy.

Soooo big news! A little late lol:)

Well the breaking news for us is.....drumroll please!

We are Pregnant again!
Its a little of an oops, but we are getting more used to the idea every day. It's kind of scary to think of having a newborn and an almost 2 year old, but people do it all the time lol. So I know we will make it. We have awesome people around us that love us.

I know I'm just a few weeks along maybe 4, so theres a long way to go.

Dexter will be a good big brother I just know it:) He's learning so much everyday! You can ask him where things are and he goes to get it. He's trying out climbing but isn't to good at it just yet. But he's definitely trying. Dancing is a new favorite, and in the car he loves to jam to some Black Eyed Peas haha. Who knows where he got that from.

He is the silliest little fella.

Snow DAY!

It snowed! So if you live in Odessa you already know that because we woke up to several inches this morning. Some is melting but it's still ridiculously bright and white out there. We played this morning for a bit in it. Dexter thought it was the best thing ever and through quite a fit when I had to bring him in.






It's a nice lazy day. Cody got a call from his boss Early this morning asking him to come in and he'd get to leave at lunch:) Soo awesome...So he is gonna take us to the store after Dexters nap to get some groceries. I hate driving in the white stuff. But we are needing FOOD! LOL and every day other that today I will have my niece all day and though I can totally do two babies at the grocery store, I don't feel like it this week.

Enjoy the cold!

Puppies

So my dogs puppies are 4 weeks old!

Yes Im a horrible pet owner by letting my dogs have puppies. To tell you the truth we thought she was fixed. She was a rescue dog. They are Pomeranian puppies as both momma and daddy are Poms. We orinally thought our male Sheltie got her but I know my moms male pom was around her first. And the puppies are a spitting image of mom and dad so we know the Sheltie couldnt of been in the mix.

Here are some pics!





She had 3 little boys and they are sooo fun. Running around playing and barking. Very spirited happy dogs so far. Dexter is in heaven and loves it when I let them play with him. I don't just let him 'have one' but he is gentle so I let him pet them and get his fingers chewed on. Want one? LOL

25

A quarter century...that's how old I am today! The big 2-5!

I've had a wonderful past year. Filled with little smiles, big smiles and just pure happiness. I do wish I could just stop the number game at 25! I think I just got a wrinkle!!

Should be a fun day with my boys. Then Dexter is gonna go stay the night at his Nonnies so I can have a few drinks and enjoy the lack of fits for a bit. But the mom in me always hates him spending the night anywhere. I just miss him too much. But I NEED tonight:) And he will get to play with his cousin Evie.

We just found out that we are going to go to Vegas in April!!! Yippee! We went in August of 08' when I was like 4 months pregnant, and already getting swollen and miserable. Then our cat died and we beelined home. It was Cody's favorite cat you see. So this time IT WILL BE FUN!! I want to be a few drinks down when we land:) Time for mommy and daddy to let loose.

Speaking of letting loose. Ive gone from 205 to 180. But Ive been stuck at 180 lbs for the past month!! So I need to break through it. Get back on the ball. At least I haven't gained though. By the time we go to Vegas I hope I can get down to 160 at least. Maybe 155 haha! Id be sooo happy. Im starting back on a better diet and food tracking on Monday the 8th:) I think 20lbs in two months is doable if I work HARD.

Let's see how that goes.

Tata for now

Birthday crazy....

So last sunday my sweet little man turned 1 year old! It was a fun/stressful day. But the fun outweighed the stress ten fold. We had a good party and alot of people came out to show their love! It couldn't of been better.

I cannot believe that a year flew by as fast as it did. Just a year from then Cody and I were relieved and soo excited to finally meet him. And he was sooo cute even though he was puff and bruised from his rough exit. He is sooo worth everything. It seems he went from newborn to toddler over night now.


To Dexter:
What fun it was to see you sit up on your own, eat your first foods, cuddle with you tons<3 Then see you learn to crawl just a few days after moving into our new house. A month later you were pulling up and taking steps. By Christmas you were a full blown walker. Now nothing can stop you, and you don't want to be held LOL. Currently your favorite foods are Yogurt, fruit of any kind but especially Banana, cheese sandwiches, PB&J sandwiches, Ice cream, anything with Tomato sauce. You could care less about potatoes or mac n cheese. You don't really care for juice and that's awesome. You do love to drink water and sometimes milk. But you are currently loving water way more.

You have lot and lots of toys in every room but just like any other toddler you love other things more. Like brooms, pots and pans and so on. Sesame street is where it's at TV wise, and also the good night show on Sprout. Other than that TV isn't a big deal in your busy world.

You're a big guy! You weight 27 lbs right now and you are 32 inches tall. You wear a size 5 shoe and 18mnth clothes.

I cannot wait to experience the next year with you and see you learn more and more new things. Right now you say Mama, Dada, eye, and a few other things that are hard to understand. You LOVE to dance, and pretend to sing. If crayons didn't taste so good you'd probably love to draw too!

Mama loves you son<3

Is it Friday yet??

Not that anything exciting tends to happen on Fridays. They are usually just like any other day except there will be some wine in the picture!

This week started out rough for us. Dexter has come down with Bronchiolitis and is taking breathing treatments. Thanks so much Erica & Ryan for letting us use your nebulizer. It really helps him breathe. Last night went alot better than the night before and we both got a little sleep. He is currently watching a bit of barney drinking a nice cold sippy.

The sippy drives me nuts, he will drink from it but half the time just drinks so he can let it dribble out his mouth. Over and over and over again. Anyone have a kid who did this? Please tell me that it will stop eventually.

the big FIRST Birthday is in a little less than 2 weeks! YAY!! Can't believe he is going to be 1 year old<3

Im gonna jump off of here and play with the little fella.
