"Sometimes when you're young, you think nothing can hurt you. It's like being invincible. Your whole life is ahead of you, and you have big plans. Big plans. To find your perfect match. The one that completes you. But as you get older, you realize it's not always that easy. It's not until the end of your life that you realize how the plans you made were simply plans. At the end, when you're looking back instead of forward, you want to believe that you made the most of what life gave you. You want to believe that you're leaving something good behind. You want it all to have mattered." -- Lucas (One Tree Hill)
Holy crazy life! I just can’t seem to get the time to get on here and write an entry let alone change the layout. And I really want to change the layout bad. But I’ve decided to wait till the new season in September and add one then.
[EDIT] As you can tell I have a new layout!! My sister was so nice as to offer to creat a header for me after she read this entry. I LOVE you Lisa! [EDIT]
So, I have A LOT to talk about. First off, for those who never knew, Hubby and I were never officially married. We are what you call common-law husband and wife (The government likes to call us that so they can get the same amount of money out of us that they get from married couples). Anyways, around two weeks ago, Ryan proposed to me! Finally!! LOL I’m so excited! The wedding is in April 2009 but I’m still unsure of the actual date. I wanted to post a picture of the ring but my camera doesn’t want to focus on it like it should so it always comes out blurry. I’m going to have to get someone with a good camera to take the picture for me. So as soon as I can I will get it up on the site.
[EDIT] I got my brother to take a picture on my ring with his HARD CORE camera that he spent a lot more than $50 for. LOL. Anyways, here's my ring! [EDIT]
So...Landon has colic :( and it’s really hard to deal with. I’ve been truly drained this last week trying to deal with it and not become frustrated. Because as you know, it’s not his fault that he’s colicky but at the same time it’s soooo hard to deal with. So today is my first “day off” in 7 weeks and 3 days because Hubby’s parents took Landon for the day. We’ll be going to pick him up tonight at around 10. I really have to say, I love my son, but am I ever enjoying this day off from Mommyhood. Hubby and I have some romantic plans so I’m going to end this entry now cause we don’t get to spend much time together anymore and I really am looking forward to it.
I want to begin by saying that I am in love with my child. he is the love of my life and nothing can ever change that; it is unconditional. That being said, I NEVER anticipated how amazingly difficult it is to take care of a newborn 24/7. I am drained physically and emotionally. And so is Hubby.
Adjusting to the baby in our lives has been a difficult transition for our relationship. This honestly had never been an issue I had considered would happen. We bicker a lot now, which is something that we never used to do. Random situations have caused us to not speak to one another for hours if not an entire evening. He no longer sleeps in the bedroom with me when he has to work because the baby wakes every hour and he can't function at work without sleep. On his days off he'll sleep in the bedroom with me but that is only twice a week and when you're taking care of a newborn, those days feel few and far in between.
I'm finally beginning to feel as though I'm getting the hang of motherhood and have gotten a hang of the routines as well as can be expected. The first month has been a pile of stress, however. between breastfeeding, recuperating from a c-section, and preparing to be in our best friend's wedding, we were overwhelmed. And as much as we LOVE Nessa and Eric, I have to say I am happy for it to be over with. (As I am sure they are as well)
Needless to say, I think this entry pretty well sums up why it's been sooooo long since I've written anything. But now I'm happy to say, aside from adjustments we need to make in our relationship, I think it's finally all coming together and my mom tells me that what Hubby and I are going through is normal too, and will work itself out in time.
On Friday Landon will be 4 weeks old. It goes by so fast.
Thanks to everyone who's posted their wonderful comments about my beautiful boy. I will be trying to get back into my old routine of posting weekly from now on. I miss reading about all of your lives and what's going on. I can't wait to visit all of your blogs once again!
Post ten things that recently made you happy, then tag ten other people and spread the LOVE!
1. Giving myself a makeover and truly embracing makeup for the first time in my life. 2. Hubby posting on facebook"Ryan can't wait to meet his baby boy!" 3. Growing my nails for the first time in my life and NOT biting them. 4. Listening to "Innocence by Avril Lavigne" over and over again. 5. Alvin and the Chipmunks movie. I laughed so hard I cried. 6. Making a Rachel Ray recipe and it was a BIG hit! 7. Finally getting my first check from my maternity leave and being able to get my budget on track. 8. Watching Jensen Ackles on Season 2 of Dark Angel. He is hilarious! 9. Finally finishing the sorting of the bags of baby clothes and having my dining room back! 10. Waking up after an actual good night's sleep. *sigh*
The tagged... ( only 5 instead of 10... why? Cause I feel like it. :P )
Ok, moving on. Thanks to everyone for all the positive feedback on all the things I've received so far for the baby. My baby shower is the last Sunday of this month and I'm hoping that I will be receiving just about everything else I'll be needing so I'll be already for June! I'll keep all of you up to date with what I've gotten at the shower and as soon as the nursery is all set up I will certainly be taking pictures to post here for all of you to see.
I took a new picture of my belly today. I'm really liking this one. It's a bit egg shaped but hey there's a baby in there... I can't control the way he wants to sit. heheh
So... I've been feeling really lazy this past week. I haven't even had the energy to read blogs or post a blog of my own. I think I might be suffering from Cabin Fever a little bit. I need fresh air and it's just too cold or too icy to go out for walks just yet. Well today just may be my day! It is currently -3 degrees Celsius which in Fahrenheit is 26.6 degrees. This is a nice day here in New Brunswick, Canada during the month of April and it it still early! By noon it might be warmer than freezing! haha I hope i will be able to get out there and get a good walk in.
And now the moment you've all been waiting for... Movie Review! CLICK HERE to read about I Am Legend.
I'm so sorry I haven't been blogging in a while. I know I put up a review relatively recently but it's been a while since I've actually blogged about my life. So here goes...
Well, as I'm sure you've guessed by the title of this entry, I am sick with an amazingly horrible cold. And if that just wasn't bad enough, I can't take anything for it due to the pregnancy. The last 4 days have been long and so incredibly annoying. I've been living on Orange Juice, Water and this hot drink I read about on the internet that's made with lemon juice, hot water, and honey. I am allowed to take regular Tylenol but I tried one the other day and it proved to be useless. I am also allowed to uses cough drops such as Halls. I used one last night and it did help calm my coughing down for a little while but it really doesn't do much more than that. Yesterday I got on my computer and couldn't even stay on long enough to chat on MSN (that's how you know I am sick) let alone think about reading blogs or writing one. But this morning I woke up feeling a little stronger so I decided I'd give writing an entry a try.
I'd like to thank everyone who commented about the new layout. I'm really proud of it because as some of you know I've only recently (last 5 months or so) switched over to PHP format rather than HTML and since then I kinda had a brain block as to how to create any other type of layout than what I was taught php with. But after a days worth of trial and error I've finally figured it out! It means a lot to me that so many of you guys like it.
A couple of days ago Hubby picked up "Lost: Via Domus" for PS3 for me (because I went on and on for days about how fun it would be for me and that I would love it so much) and although the reviews online depicted the game mediocre at best, I am really enjoying it. I guess it all depends on what your taste in games are and I am all for the adventure games where you have to solve things and investigate things to progress.
Well that's pretty well my last 5 days in a nutshell, nothing too exciting at all. Sorry about that. Hopefully I'll have something more exciting for you guys next time.
So this is going to be a pissed off ramble and it's because I really need it. I'm going apologize in advance if this turns out to be too angry for some readers (I'm sure it won't be that bad, but I'm pretty pissed so you never know)
Alright, so it all began with My friend B inviting me to a party at her place that had "snowballed" into a giant party of people she doesn't even want there one of which I didn't get along well with in High School (T). So This other "friend??" of mine(S) who invited T decides that because T and I didn't get along in high school, she's decided that she is not allowing me to go to B's house. She doesn't want me there and it's her decision I guess.... So anyway, my BFF M finds out about this craziness and talks B into inviting me anyways cause high school is over, you know. and B decides she's right and she invites me to the party.
At this point I don't know anything is going on and I'm all "Yeah for sure a party would be awesome" cause High School was ages ago and I'm not a child. But My friend M decides it's not fair for me not to know about all this bull shit before walking into that house so she tells me about everything today.
Well, you know what, I'm not a kid anymore. And I don't need all this drama in my life. So no biggy, I don't need to party that much. I decided that I don't want to be at a place where the atmosphere is going to be this ridiculous. Poor B doesn't even want to have the party anymore cause there's all these people she doesn't even like being invited and M is all uncomfortable about going cause apparently S is pissed at her for talking B into inviting me. I mean seriously??? *sigh* I like to surround myself with people I love to be around and I don't need that crap.
I'll have more fun spending the evening with Hubby and the TV.
It's a shame some people don't seem to know how to grow up.
