Crazy Aunt Pam is coming this Friday, I mentioned it in my last post. The woman is nuts, but she is family and hasn't seen Lily yet, so we are putting up with it. FIL suggested not putting our guest bedroom together (the bed is still leaning against the

We have met a lot of new people in the last week, and Lily has obviously gone everywhere with me, so I have had a got of people ohh and ahh over her. "Oh, she's not very old is she?" We will then say she will be six weeks on Monday, and they're like,

We didn't get out night before last to test drive some vehicles, so after attempting to get our drivers licenses changed, we went to the Ford dealership. :D We were just going to drive through the lots (we have Ford, Chevy, and Dodge dealers all in a

I think I can officially say Lily is sleeping through the night. For the past week and a half, I have put her down about 9 pm and she will wake up at five, then sleep till 8. Last night, we put her down at about 9:30 and she didn't wake up till 7! Josh

I had a couple other things I wanted to talk about. I wanted to toally brag on my dog. He has been FANTASTIC. I was worried about him being jealous of Lily and having a hard time moving, but he has really been great. He doesn't like clutter, and our house

Lily just finished eating (again!) and I figured I'd write something real quick. Josh's first day went well, and our day at home went fantastic! Josh will get paid every week, so on Friday we will finally have a paycheck again! Wohoo! A Baby Story was

Don't get me wrong, I had fun at my own wedding, I really did, but all of the planning and stress almost ruined it for me, as bad as that sounds. But I had a blast at M & C's wedding. The wedding party (aside from one groomsman and one bridesmaid,

Ugh! Packing for that child is a pain. I should know, we have practically lived out of suitcases since she was born. A normal duffel bag is way too big, and any of the tote bags I have are floppy and just not quite big enough. Josh and I have the Swiss

Wow. Last weekend a friend gave us a gift for Lily, a cute little brown dress from Baby Gap and two Aiden and Anais swaddling muslin wraps. http://www.adenandanais.com/index.html Holy. Cow. Those wraps are awesome. The last few nights, Lily has been waking

It was torture! I honestly didn't think this would be this hard or I would have such a hard time with it. I sat in the living room while Josh took her to her room to feed her and she accepted the bottle right away. I seriously just cried. She ate a little

I hate pumping. I am having such a hard time wrapping my brain around it. BFing is just sooooooo much easier. So I don't know if I'm doing it right, but yesterday I tried on the side she didn't nurse on, just to get the hang of it. I think I got a little

Ok, I talked to the LC right after I had Lily and she said to start pumping the week before the wedding and try giving her a couple bottles during the week so we know she will take them on Saturday. So I have the pump and everything sterilized. Now what?

I decided today that I like having babies. I told Josh and he laughed. He told me he liked making babies, then corrected himself. He likes practicing making babies. lol! Then he did admit he kind of loves Lily a little bit. :D She was excellent all weekend,

is how much Lily has gained since she was born. We took her up to FIL's clinic to weigh her, he said she is looking good. Aww, my big girl! lol The weekend in Josh's hometown has been interesting. Our first night here, I had promised Josh's aunt (the

I am having a hard time with this! I have lived in town before, but I love living out where I have plenty of my own space. And here in this duplex, I feel kind of closed it. The house is almost triple the living space of our old house, so that is nice,

I'm still alive, people, I promise! I finally have internet at the new house, so I'll be back on now, because I'm sure you were missing my daily ramblings! haha... I haven't been on here in, what?, a week? So I have a lot to write about. And since Lily

Yeah right. lol But I am trying to look at the good in things, since lately I have been really bummed about moving. Good Thing #1: I am a hell of an organizer, apparently. We have a very small house, it is basically five rooms, four of them set in a square

but I'll write a blog post anyway because I am just chilling before Lily wakes up, and there's nothing else to do besides pack and I don't want to do that. So here is another random thoughts post! As much as I am glad to not be pregnant, I want to be

In my dream anyway. :D Isn't that insane? You brought your husbands and we all squeezed into my pickup, I had to sit on top of Lily's car seat base because I didn't want to take it out. lol It was the first time I left Lily with a sitter and I was a nervous

House hunting for rentals in a hurry SUCKS. Have I complained enough yet? Sorry. I really am. But we found a house in Crete, about three blocks from where Josh will work. We drove down there this morning and looked at two smaller, much older houses and

Holy cow. I'm sorry to get on here and sound like a broken record, but this is ridiculous. The rental houses we can afford in Lincoln are total dumps in bad neighborhoods (and hello, Josh will be working night shifts, so I would have to be there at night
