Today Emerson is 2 months old. Now I really have no excuse for the "baby weight" unless I ate my baby...it should be gone! =) Today was another horrible day for me. I woke up and basically bite everyones head off. Jason was tempted to go to work!!! After screaming for a bit, I felt better. Here's to hoping I'll get some sleep tonight! Here is Emerson's 2 month picture.
After reading the headline you probably roll your eyes and say, "DUH! You have a newborn, of coure you are not getting sleep!" And NOPE that is not the reason! Emerson is sleeping through the night, I however am not. (On the plus side, i have gotten to watch some really good movies) Around 8 When i'm getting the kids ready for bed I start getting tired and think...HOORAY I can go to sleep too! After I do the hug, kiss, tuck them in routine about 15 times...I get my second wind. I will putter around the house, go online (Usually ebay...its my drug) Last night i went to bed around 1:30-2:00...fell asleep at 4...Emerson grunted and woke me up at 5:30. I feel bad because I am starting to become really grouchy. And not just my usual sarcastic grouchy self. I'm becoming down right mean....for example...we have the option of ringback tone on our phones. You know the annoyong songs that play when you call someone instead of the usual ring ring. (I start singing along to the song and they always pick up right when i hit a high note and proceed to laugh at my tone deafness) Well, Jason uses the phone for work purposes and I thought it would be HILARIOUS to put a ringback on his phone without telling him. Now heres the mean part.....i chose Achey Breaky Heart by good ol Billy Ray Cyrus. (Thats Hannah Montanas daddy for all you little teeny boppers) Maybe I should really try to sleep more. WHo knows what I am capable of next. Shaving his eyebrows in his sleep maybe.
I have been taught the way of the blog! Thankyou Courtney! I feel really dumb that I wasn't able to figure it out but I know my own limitations! I'm so excited I feel like my blog is up to date with everyone elses!!!
So, the whole blog thing has me confused. Not the actual blogging part but the setup part. I changed my layout and int he process lost all my favorite blog links! So I'm slowly adding them back. What I want to know is how every blog I go on to has it where the blogs they are following have when the last post was underneath the blogs name! What am I doing wrong here. Somebody please help me! I feel stupid because I can't do it. I have been sitting here trying to find a way to do it and instead found a way to startle the baby. She didnt know why mommy was screaming at the computer!!!!
AGH!!!
WARNING- I rambled a lot in this post!
But I'm BACK!!! I wish I could say I haven't posted in so long because Emerson keeps me busy...BUT she doesn't. She is so easy, I really can't believe how easy she is. She is already sleeping through the night. We have not had one crying fit yet during the day and she is already 8 weeks! I wish my other two were this good. They still give me trouble all day long! The arguing and fighting all day...UGH! SO let me update you a little bit.....
Josh broke his leg, had the cast on for 3 weeks. It is off now but he still limps. He walks like a super fly pimp...lol!
Halloween was really tough for him because of all the stairs in front of peoples houses!
Jaidyn has been Jaidyn. I swear she thinks she is a teenager! UGH! I can't even deal with her attitude sometimes. However, she has been THE BIGGEST help to me. She helps feed Emme, gets me anything I need for her. Having such a big age difference between them is the best thing ever. No jealousy issues at all!!!
Jaidyn Loves her baby sister...and Mommy loves matching outfits!!!
Thanksgiving has come and gone. All the kids got sick the week before Thanksgiving. Josh and Jaidyn were ok, we gave them cold medicine and they were fine. Emerson had a really bad cough and because she is so little we took her to the DR. They gave her an antibiotic and she s doing much better. Mommy is doing better too!! Jason took a couple days off when I felt sick and I slept in until 11 almost everyday!! I love him, he is the best. On his days off he wont sleep in, he gets up so I can sleep in!
Now we are getting ready for Christmas int he Andrews household. I started to decorate HOWEVER I am not going all out like last year. I only have 2 trees up this year, not 5. I'm almost finished with shopping..just a couple little things left.
We took some pictures of the kids and did Christmas cards. I was pretty pleased with the pictures. Not bad for doing them myself!
And here is one of my favorite pictures. Emersons first smile for her daddy!
Sorry I have been MIA for awhile. I don't remember getting so little sleep with a baby. She is doing great, but everything else seems to be a mess. Josh broke his leg and it took 2 different doctors a week to find the break. He cracked his growth plate in his knee and his shin. So he has a full leg cast. With all the stairs in our house its seriously been torture for all of us! Jason had alot of time off when Emerson was born, but he has gone back to work. He wakes up so early for work that he cannot do any night feedings anymore. Today I feel like I have a little case of the baby blues. And the scares me because I suffered severe PPD with Joshie. Hopefully all goes well and I'm just in a funk.
Shes finally here!!! I am so excited ot have her home! I just wish we still lived by friends and family. I want people to come by and see her! We did have friends bring us dinner the first night we were home....yummy mexican food too!! Emme is having issues sleeping at night. She only wants to sleep on her daddy. She really doesnt care to much for me at night time. I am not really complaining about that..Im sleeping! I will post some pictures later. I did add some pictures to myspace. Heres the birth stroy for anyone who cares t read it...I just copied it from BBC.

Birth Story
Friday I was in a pretty pi$$y mood all day, we went to a high school football game and I told some little high school kid I would throw him down the bleachers if he didn't stop stomping on the bleacher I was sitting on. (I'm not usually so rude) We decided to leave early because I really thought I would kill someone. We went to dinner and I started having contractions but refused to time them. I didn't want to get my hopes up. Once we got to the car I had one that was bad so we dropped off the kids at my parents for the night. I got home and called the Dr. They said get in a warm bath...if the contractions get worse, come in. I took a warm bath and they never went away but I didn't think they were strong enough to do anything. They were 5 mins apart at this point. I told my husband I didn't want these dying out so he had to "take one for the team" We DTD (sorry tmi) And they got strong, 20 mins later I was being admitted at a 4 with contractions every 2 mins apart! They never really hurt, I could talk and laugh through them the whole time. I didn't want to press my luck so I got the epidural around 3 am. I slept like a baby. I was too relaxed so the contractions stopped. The doc came in and broke my water at 11 am. They said I had an unusual shaped cervix (heard that with the last kids too) And they thought she was small because she was moving WAY TOO MUCH when they would check me. At 12:45 I had the urge to push and I warned my nurse I am a fast pusher. She didn't believe me...I refused to push until the Dr came in the room. I started pushing at 12:55, she arrived at 1:01 pm. She was 8lbs...my biggest baby! I had one superficial tear. And I was up and walking before 2:00. We went home the next day at 2:00. The kids love her and I am so happy to be home!!!
