It's here

>> Sep 30, 2005

It's time for me to go back to work. I have mixed emotions .. I am looking forward to going back but know I will so miss Zach and every little thing he does each day.. the snorts he makes when he's hungry, the cooing he is just realizing he can do.. the baby kisses..

Tomorrow he'll be 8 and this will all be a memory :(

2 week count down.

>> Sep 19, 2005

Whoa! Someone stop this roller coaster!
I have to say I don't want to go back to work. Seeing Zach grow these last few weeks makes me realize how much I'm going to miss of him.. and how much I miss dailey of my other children's lives.. just by being too busy..

HOWEVER... seeing how much these four kids eat in a day.. no wonder I can't keep food in this house!! Zach is now pushing 10lbs and eating more.. the other three.. we wont even mention the vast amount of food they consume regularly.. Good grief I'm actually thinking of taking a second job LOL

I on the other hand am looking forward to some back to work shopping. I have money set aside and the desire for new threads. Not that weight is important.. but I'm already down to 152 from my seam pushing 183.. I got my hair CHOPPED.. so I'm feeling fresh again.. if I can only figure out how to fix my feet that seem to be permanently widened by the pregnancy and push some of this thigh weight to my chest... he ha.. I'd be even better!

Rough day

>> Sep 16, 2005


Yesterday was a rough day.. I'm beginning to wonder if he's eating too much. Yes I know sounds crazy but he eats so much and still seems so hungry all the time and I get afraid of letting him eat too much because then he'll burp and out comes the excess.. according to websites he's suppose to be eating 2-3 ounces.. he's eating at least 4 every 2-3 hours.. last night he ate 10 ounces in a three hour period.. and when he wakes up he is SO hungry you can hear his stomach growling. :( I tried to call the doctor's friday morning to ask his opinion.. and my phone died. By the time it started working again it was after hours. So now I wait til monday. He seems happy and content and I don't think there is a problem. I'm just wondering if i'ts normal.. peace of mind..

I'm so exhausted LOL. I now live for the weekends.. no longer the wild days of my youth but because then I don't feel bad making my husband get up with Zach for that 6am feeding so I can sleep in.. He falls back asleep better than I do..

He took the picture above.. can you believe this little guy came out of that stomach just 3.5 wks ago???

The Birdcage

>> Sep 11, 2005

Anyone seen that movie? Remember when the senator's mom (I think it was senator) was at Robin Williams/Nathan Lanes house and started crying to her husband that "Someone has to like me best" That's how I feel now.

Why is it children are just innately drawn to their fathers? I could rationally calmly tell any of my older children something to correct them.. and their father can give them a 2 hour lecture and 5 minutes later they are asking if they can go with him where ever he is going.. yet 2 days later they are still harboring whatever I corrected them on.. I can go to the mall and if I ask if anyone wants to go I get no thanks or can you drop me off at so-and-so's house.. Dad can come in and say he's going to get an oil change and everyone jumps to go with him.. He comes in the door and it's "HI DAD!" I come in and it's "oh, hey" Once & awhile Kyle will take pity on me and stay home.. (read he'd rather stay home & play video games than go) but for the most part.. I feel like crying "someone has to like me best"

Fortunately, Zach is 50/50 a mommy's & daddy's boy. He doesn't seem to prefer one over the other.. just a nice warm set of arms to hold him and he's fine. But I'm sure that is just a matter of time......

OH MY GOD HE'S DEAD!!!!

That was my first thought this morning when I realized I slept without interruption from 12:30am until 6am... my other thought was I"m not checking.

I just laid in bed for a minute fearing the worst.. and then heard a faint moan of an infant waking.. music to my ears.

Of course he spent most of the day awake and fussy.. not tired enough to sleep but not awake enough to be put down....

I miss my work buddies!

>> Sep 6, 2005


I went into work today. Said howdy to my pals. I miss working, though I am truly enjoying spending QT with Zach. I didn't get to do this with my other baby.
I remember this shot the day Zach was born.. now 1 week later he's put on 1 pound & grew 1 inch... Tomorrow he'll be starting college :(

Amanda, Austin & Kyle all started school today..
They seem to be exicted about their new year.. I am not looking forward to being a bus.. (our public school stopped busing.. and now they are penny pinching so much that I had to send $5 with my high schooler to rent a locker for gym??) Below are 1st day outfits.. my kids are so cool!

Monday, monday...

>> Sep 5, 2005


Big day today.. last day of summer vacation.. Zach's cord fell off and he got his first 'real' bath and I... I just want to cry. He's getting so big and the summer is gone and I didn't nearly get to do as many things as I wanted with the kids :(

Fortunately, Zach has brought about so many positive changes in our family it's amazing the impact he has had. We do so much more hanging out than before.. even just watching TV together or being in the same room. We are also planning our first real family vacation for next summer. And I can't tell you how happy that makes me. My fondest childhood memories are vacations with my family. Camping.. though looking back I see how much work it was for my mother.. (not looking forward to that.. perhaps we will be a hotel vacationing family LOL)

September.. Back to School

>> Sep 1, 2005


School starts the sixth. Good lord.. where did the summer go..

The burning question will I get this child into a routine by the end of the month?

Isn't the pic adorable? My mom used to collect frogs.. my girlfriend Terri got me the outfit & the little blanket embroidered with Zach's name.. (now officially going by Zach for short.. )

Anyway.. isn't he a doll?? I want to get some naked baby pictures like him on his belly and a cutsy butt shot..but he isn't all that hip to be put down right now LOL wonder why....
