You're Fake

Today after going to church and while we were eating lunch Eddie turned to me and said, "You're fake."  I have no idea what he was talking about so I asked him if I was fake and he says, "Yep."  Soooo anyway who knows what he means.  I think of being not true to oneself, a posturer, a poser.  I don't think Eddie knows what any of that means.  He is not even 3 yet.

Today was really great at church it was fast Sunday and I really feel like I got some of the answers to my prayers and guidance on what I should be doing to find the answers to the rest.  It really is all about the read, pray, attend concept.  If we are studying our scriptures, praying regularly, and faithfully attending our meetings the Lord blesses us so much.  There are other things too but I think these are so important.  I really need to attend the temple.  I think I will find answers there.  I also need to take time to ponder the guidance of Henry B Eyring and try to find the hand of God in my life daily.  He was truly guiding me today.

I am teaching the 12&13 year old Sunday School classes.  I love teaching sunday school.  We talked about the importance of journal/record keeping and I realized I am horrible at it but it is a commandment so I am going to try to be better about keeping a record.  I really like this blog because it is so easy to find it.  It can't be packed away and lost in our boxes in storage like the rest of my old journals.  Not that I was ever great about keeping a journal before.

Sleeping baby

Oh how I wish I could take snapshots of my sleeping baby from his video monitor at night. It is just the cutest thing. I could almost die. I've tried to get a few. They aren't as good as the real thing but almost. The other day I said to chad I need to check on the baby. I came back and said I checked and yep, he's completely adorable. Sometimes I don't check for closed eyes or to see if he still has his paci, sometimes I just want to watch him sleep and adore.

7 hours!!!

I can't believe it, but Eddie went almost 7 hours between bottles tonight. That means he slept like five and a half. I got about four and a half. I woke up just short of four hours in disbelief and went ahead and made a bottle because it'd been so long and he was starting to squirm. I am so proud of him. I've been trying to resist the urge to put rice in the bottles and now I have faith we don't need to. Hip hip hooray :).
Also I am officially taking all his newborn clothes out of the dresser and going only 0-3 month clothes. What a big boy! Haha it only took 2 months. We had his 2 month old Dr. appointment yesterday and he was 9lbs and 5 oz. Got his first set of shots. So sad but did great when they said he'd probably be fussy all day long he was a champ and slept it off :)

Cutest baby

Sometimes I think it's not fair to others that I have the cutest baby in the universe. I mean I feel sorry for moms that only have cute babies and not the super duper cutest ever made. They say every mom thinks this, but they just hadn't met my baby yet. He is adorable even when crying, barfing, peeing on you. He is starting to looker chunkier which will make him cuter which I didn't think was possible

Thumbs up for church

Took Eddie to church for the first time yesterday. It was my first time back since d-day. It was good to be back and partake of the sacrament again. Jen Lynn came with us, and even though since it was church there was not much talking it was nice to have her there. Eddie looked completely adorable in his church clothes. I can't believe how big they are even though they are newborn sizes.

Update: it's actually been a week and a half and I missed last week due to my scary soul shaking cough. I am super excited to go this week. Hopefully I won't get sick from going since I think that's what got me sick before.

Fleas and babies

These two things are NOT compatible. So the dogs have been licking and scratching it seems all the time lately (probably because it drives me so crazy). Chad checked Max yesterday and found at least one flea on him. Ewwwwwww. Not cool. Our dogs have never had fleas before. Thank goodness we had a dose of frontline for him. Now I just need to get rid of the 2 flies in the house. Oh yeah and get frontline for Shelby, wash the dogs, get Max groomed, brush both dogs. Ugh it just goes on and on. People told me the dogs would get much less attention once we had a baby and I just couldn't imagine that, but it is true. They drive me crazy now and seem so filthy now I have a little baby I have to keep healthy. Maybe if they get bathed and groomed I'll love them more. . .

Diaper debate

I hosted the diaper debate on Facebook and the overwhelming response was pampers swaddlers for newborns and huggies/Costco diapers when they are bigger. I made sure I had my little pampers for as soon as he came home. However, they used huggies little snugglers at the hospital and I got so I liked those. I used my pampers as a chore. Then they were on really good sale at CVS last week and I had a coupon so I tried again. I love the pampers! I don't know if I am doing something wrong but serious leakage with the huggies lately. Only problem? I have like 100 huggies to use and quite a few in larger sizes. Oh well maybe I'll change my mind again. Still haven't tried any other brands but I don't think they have the wetness indicator. Maybe the huggies aren't working cause his legs are so skinny it is leaking there? No I think it's coming up and around.
