Happy New Year....

...9 days late. But better late than never, right? YES! This year is already going by so fast. Yes it's only 9 days in, but where have these 9 days gone? Wasn't it just Christmas? CRAZY. Well so far the year has been great! We spent Christmas with family here in Texas, namely my grandma and aunt (plus fam) that I haven't seen in years! It was so nice getting together, and introducing MY little family to them! That's always fun!

So to be honest, for the first time, i didn't really come up with any "new years resolutions"... I mean I already have goals, but saying "my new years resolution this year is ___________"... nope, never happened. I guess i can think of a few now, right? Well first off, I want to try not to loose my mind this year... haha. But on a serious note, I just want to better myself as a mother. Yes, yes... and a wife as well. Not to toot my own horn or anything, but I really do feel like i'm a great wife, kind of the best! I spoil the heck out of Saia with love and cake. Yes cake. He craves it constantly when i'm pregnant, so im coooonstantly in the kitchen for this guy! But nothing makes me happier. Happy and GRATEFUL husband = happy wife!


OMG.. DID SHE JUST SAY SHE WAS PREGNANT???


Sure did! Yes we are expecting baby #3! And no we didn't just barely find out ;) We've known for months, and im due at the end of March! We've told family and a few friends, but due to my inactivity on facebook, hardly anyone else knows. We are excited though. We are having another little boy (crossing fingers still that he comes out a girl haha) and are SO excited to meet him! I really did want another little girl, but healthy babies are blessings. PERIOD. I cant wait to see him and all his fuzzy hair! Im assuming he's going to have lots like Lyric and Luve did, due to the fact i have constant heartburn! It sucks.


So other than a baby, i've been busy this year just having fun with the kids and wasting WAY too much time on Pinterest. I LOVE PINTEREST. PIN-A-HOLIC i am! Tonight I made this DELICIOUS Chicken Enchilada soup. It is truly so so good.. i feel like it could be served in a restaurant! But other than the taste, I think im having some kind of allergic reaction or whatever to SOMETHING. Im assuming it's the jalepeno's. After i cut them, my fingers kind of started to burn, AND THEY'RE STILL BURNING. It's been like 6 hours by the way. I've washed and washed, and the only relief I get is from putting them in cold water. I feel like there is heat coming off of them. There is no redness or anything like that, but they just burn, almost as if I got literally burned by something hot. Hot as in temp not spicy. I think they did burn me. And after this blog post, im heading over to pinterest to see what kind of crazy concoction i can find to soothe this pain!


Anyway - this post is ALL over the place, but thats just where my brain is these days. So onto the next subject, LUVE turns ONE this saturday!! Jan 12th, my baby will be 1! It's so crazy to me. Where did the year go? I literally remember every detail from when i had him... from the castor oil shake to the yoga ball to my water breaking and putting a wash cloth in my pants to save our car's seats.. haha! Luckily the hospital is like a 4 minute drive away, and thats only because of stop lights and stop signs. So yes, he will be a year! I've always heard that boys are slower at developing than girls, but was SURE my boy wouldn't be! .....wrong. I was so wrong. Lyric at 1 was running, dancing, clapping her hands, etc. This little guy is still a baby! I mean, he stands on his own without support, and does other cute things, but he is NO WHERE near as "ahead of the game" as she was. No way near at all. I give it another 1-2 months before he starts walking. When he holds our fingers to walk, he does a good job and does it mainly on his own without using us too much for support, but he can crawl faster. He likes to be fast! He's SUCH a mommy's boy and I LOVE IT. Lyric has been all about her daddy from the start. Sure she loves me and kisses/hugs me, but she's not a cuddler or anything of that sort at all. But Luve? This little guy is all about ME! Well, until his dad walks in the room or comes home for work. They love their daddy and he adores them even more. I really am blessed. Life is great right where it's at. We are constantly progressing as a family (not just by popping out babies haha) and I just love it. I'm lucky.. a very very lucky girl.


SO I dont have much else to record (that i can think of at this moment), and I should probably go check on lyric since she's been in her bed yelling mommmyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy for the past 10 minutes as i've written this post. That child thinks her bed time is midnight, i swear! She used to be SO good at going to bed at 8:30... then one day we had a late nap and she's been off track ever since! I'm working on it. Praise the Lord Luve has been an excellent sleeper since just a few months old. If he wasn't, i'd loose it. That reminds me, I was supposed to come up with a few new year resolutions, then got WAY off track. So here they are, to close the post :) 1.be a better mother 2.become more organized 3.stop giving a damn what other people think.. 4.and stop trying to impress anyone but myself and my family. THE END! ;)
