Becoming a Mother
October 29, 2007 at 3:56 pm (about me, adoption)
Baby stuff
October 28, 2007 at 5:16 am (baby stuff)
I’ve been looking on-line at all the baby stuff there is, there is a ton of stuff, its almost intimidating!!! I don’t have a clue what I need… Since Foxx will be around 5 to 6 months when he arrives home I realize there is a lot of things you would use for a new born that you won’t use for a 6 month old baby. I am also stumped on where to register. I know I will register at target. I can’t figure out where else, I am thinking of either Babys R Us or USA Baby. Then of course there is my dream list, all the stuff I’ve spent the last 4 years dreaming of like this
The bugaboo stroller
Of course I will need a super amazing camera to take pictures of my beautiful baby boy!!!
Insomnia
October 23, 2007 at 6:49 pm (about me)
I haven’t been sleeping, I am not falling asleep at night until around 3, and that’s on a good night. This has been going on for a little over 2 months. I don’t know why!!! Its driving me crazy!!! I’ve tried everything I can think of, I still can’t sleep. Sometimes I will take sleeping pills an stay up so long the pill where’s off. I hate bed time, now when I know its close to bed time I start freaking out. Its really starting to affect me, I feel really sick, I just want more that 5 hours of good sleep. If anybody has any tips for helping me get sleep I am all ears. I am going to go crazy without sleep!!! I told my mom this is supposed to be the time I can sleep because when Foxx gets here we know I won’t be getting any sleep, and that’s all right by me!!! But for now I tired of laying in bed listening to my 2 dogs and my husband sleep!!!
Nothing New
October 22, 2007 at 9:34 pm (about me, adoption)
My cute little sister informed me my blog is better than reading Perez Hilton, I take that as the greatest compliment!!! This weekend Mike went to man camp, an I spent the weekend with my girlfriend, Amanda. It was fun, we went to Ruth Chris, a engagement party, we went to some fun boutique’s in Phoenix, then we had a all girl get together at my house. Even though I had a great time, I still missed my husband. I always forget how spoiled I am, until Mike isn’t around. Trust me I missed him like crazy when it came to taking the dogs potty in the middle of the night!!! LOL
On the adoption front there is nothing new to report, I have people writing my 5 referrals, I am doing all the paperwork, I am setting up appointments so we can have our final homestudy. My goal is to have that all done by the end of next month. Then I am hoping to get my dossier sent to Vietnam by the end of the year. I think that would be the best way to kick off 2008. Then the dreaded waiting will happen, it will probley be 4-5 months until we get our referral, then another 2-3 months to travel to pick Foxx up. Since Fiona is laying on my lap while I write this I will leave you with one of my all time favorite pictures ( yes she loves to lay on my lap she doesn’t realize she weighs 55 pounds).
10 Weird Things About Me
October 17, 2007 at 5:55 pm (about me)
I thought I would write 10 things about myself to help everyone get to know me better. By the way they are in no particular order.
1, I always cry when I watch the Biggest Loser! (especially last night I was crying so hard Mike had to come over an give me a hug)
2, While I like to go out with our friends, I love to stay home an make dinner with Mike, an cuddle up on the couch an watch a movie from Blockbuster!
3, I hate baby clothes that look like baby clothes!!! I don’t like the cartoon characters, or the little baby animals they put on alot of them.
4, I like dogs an children more than I like most adults. So if I come over an give your dog or your kids more attention, or both, now you know why. LOL
5, I have always wanted to go to the east coast, but never have had the chance! I am trying to talk mike into taking me there on our baby-moon.
6, I don’t remember what my life was like without Mike in it, an we have only been together for 5 years. Maybe you really do block out the bad.
7, I hate to polish my toe nails, so I always convince someone else to do it.
8, I love talking to old people, they always have the most interesting stories and a lot of young people don’t take the chance to listen.
9, When I was little I always wanted to be a Mom when I grew up, becoming a teacher came in a close second.
10, I like boys more than girls, I hate going out with just the girls. I always have more fun with the boys around!!! Especially Mine!!!
Our Trip
October 15, 2007 at 10:38 pm (Vacations)
Our trip was AMAZING, we all had a great time!!! We went to the beach, went to the hot tub, played UNO ( or one when your in Mexico) and a very dangerous spoons, we ate some great food that I am pretty sure was not on my diet!!! It was nice to get away from all the craziness here, between moving the shop an getting all my paperwork ready for the adoption I’ve been going a little crazy!!! I took a ton of pictures, so here are some of my favorites.
My parents, Foxx’s G-MOMMA an POP
Me trying to convince Mike not to go home!!!
Mike reminded me I have two dogs, a goat, and a fish at home who needed me!!! LOL
We went to the fish market for dinner, it was a good time!!! Thanks Dad for dinner!!!
Who are these hottie’s????
Bubba the Protector of the Beach!!!
As much fun as we had I am glad to be home!!! I am super sun burnt an the 3 hour wait to get over the boarder was a awful way to end our trip. We decided we would try to do this every October break, so hopefully next year I’ll be posting Foxx’s pictures too!!!
We are heading to Rocky Point
October 12, 2007 at 3:24 am (Vacations)
We are Leaving for Rocky Point as soon as Mike gets home for work!!! We are staying at the Las Palomas, we just stayed there a couple of months ago. Its super fun, in case you can’t tell by the pool. I am excited we are going with my family, my bff Sean, Sandy D an her kiddos, Robin, Steve and Zack. I think one of the best trips Mike an I have had was when we went to Rocky Point with my family, My family is great to travel with my mom always packs a ton of food, my dad is a big kid, the girls are always up for a fun time, an bubba is always doing something crazy!!! I hope we get lots of pictures!!!
The animals
October 11, 2007 at 10:48 pm (about me)
This is ernie checking out Cashmere, he is still very unsure about him. They are fun to watch, the goat tries to head butt Ernie but Ernie could really careless.
This is my pretty princess Fiona, she may not look like it but she is the worlds worst dog!!! Honestly she is so bad, if you leave her alone for even just a second its absolute destruction. She is getting better she just needs lots an lots of attention.
This is Ernie, my first baby!!! I love him so much, he follows me everywhere I go!!!
I hope Foxx loves the animals as much as we do!!!
Homestudy
October 8, 2007 at 5:32 pm (adoption)
My homestudy went perfect!!! I was so nervous like 15 minutes before they were supposed to show up I thought I was going to pass out, Lol, I was like pale white. We had two social workers do our homestudy a man and a woman, the guy was super quiet an the girl was super loud. So as you can imagine me an mike got along perfect with them. They have both adopted before so that was extremely help-full. Ernie an Fiona were so good, yes the worst puppy in the world was actually really good, she didn’t jump on anyone, poop inside the house, or eat any furniture… At least while they were here! I definitely was over prepared which was a good thing I think. They were here for about 2 hours but it went by so quickly. We are hoping to have all of our stuff ready for our second meeting by the end of the month. The house turned out great, I can’t belive I have a babys room, it so crazy to think about how within the year there will be a baby sleeping in there!!!
