"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)
Ok so there’s this AMAZING piece of Mi'kmaq First Nation jewelry I picked up on the Reserve on Thursday. It's called "The Baby Teething Necklace". It's a handcrafted necklace made with beads and hazelwood. I’m truly at a loss for words when I tell you that Landon is a new baby!! The necklace is commonly used for teething but in fact works for just about anything that may be bothering your baby. Landon’s been teething along with the colic lately, so I figured it couldn’t hurt to try. Being that my town is located right next to the Rez, it wasn’t hard to get a hold of one. So many people around here use them for their babies and now I know why. Wow!! I’m truly not kidding when I tell you guys that my baby is cured of all his ailments. Here’s how it works: Apparently hazelwood has the medicinal property of neutralizing the body's acidity, which by doing so, relieves or prevents all kinds of ailments like ulcers, acid reflux, heartburn, teething, skin problems (psoriasis, eczema, acne), arthritis and arthrosis, constipation, migraines, and dental cavities. Which I guess is the reason why it’s working for the colic too. Here’s a picture of Landon sporting his new necklace. And Smiling no less... LOL.
Here's some pictures of him happy; something he's been a lot of lately. YAY!
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'm getting so excited that my shows will all be returning in a little over a month!! I need a bit of normal back in my life since everything's been turned upside-down now that Landon is apart of our lives. He's so wonderful and I can't get enough of him. But it needs to be said that no matter how much you love you children you still have to make time for yourself. And what do I do for myself?? I watch a lot of fictional drama on TV!
OMG! I can't even begin to tell you guys how happy I am that I bought that DVR this spring. Now I can watch TV on Landon's schedule.
I've currently updated the TV SCHEDULE with all of the premier dates that I have acquired so far and have change the name of "Surviving the Filthy Rich" to it's new and more catchy title "Privileged". I'm looking forward to giving the new shows a try but am coming to realize that I may have to be pickier than usual with what will stay on the schedule as motherhood takes up A LOT of my time.
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!
