For every day in November, think of something you're thankful for!
1: I'm thankful I have a job, and work with friends!
2: I'm thankful for Ollie's ped
And today, the 3rd, I'm thankful for Ollie :) He brightens my day and makes me laugh, no matter what :)
A viewing into my daily life as a SAHM with a 2 year old boy and waiting the arrival of our newborn baby girl!

Teef!!
we have 2 bottom teef!!!! They've come up farther since this pic, but let me tell you.. this little boy is VERY protective of his teeth!! he doesn't want people to see them or definitely take pics.
we've started having a more set schedule (of course in time for vacation to mess it up :P ). its kind of nice to know he wants a bottle at 11 and 2ish and dinner better not be after 6ish or he gets maaaad. bedtime routine starts at 8 with a PJ & overnight diaper change.
we bought a foam letter playmat thing that he loves to sit, play and roll on. It definitely makes our days easier! we're going to pack up his jumper :( and move the tv over to give him more room toplay, which will be nice. our living room is starting to look like the romper room :P we have the jumper, highchair, walker, playmat, a walker wagon and an activity table :P and let me tell you - my living room is NOT big!! I'm pretty sure that ollie has decided that rolling is the way to go - he will roll all over the LR to get to whatever toy he wants. actually, tonight i noticed him scooting. i know once he starts crawling, i'm going to have a time of it chasing & picking up after him. i'm ok with our rolling :P he still managed to find a french fry, my shoes (several times i might add).. i forget what else :P
we got "vintage" pics done yesterday. well, by "we" i mean ollie and doug and i made sure he didn't fall over :P i think they'll turn out good. i'm not sure how many we'll get b/c they are EXPENSIVE!!!
on a me note, i'm pretty much 100% after surgery. i have my followup apt tuesday, but i don't foresee any problems. i also really need to get my hair cut before we go to florida or i will diiieee of heat exposure :P

What a year.
Yeesh! 2009, Can we slow down? Ok, I admit it's partly 2008's fault.
In March we found out we were pregnant :) It was the day after Easter, and we were hoping for a Thanksgiving baby.
In May we found out he was a boy! We cautiously accepted that, but knew that the gender could be read wrong that early. (We also started calling him Zaiden. Can you imagine him as a Zaiden?? I sure can't. He's most definitely an Olliver! Cute, adorable, bald and funny :) )
Last July Doug and I flew to Las Vegas. I hadn't been on a plane since I was 2! I felt Olliver move for the first time during landing in LV. We got our 3D u/s done and saw his face for the first time :)
In September, I spent a night in the hospital (which they said was possibly a UTI? But now I wonder if it could have been gallbladder related). The first night (not including working!) that I spent in the hospital since I was born.
In October, not only did I have the first major surgery (not counting my wisdom teeth), I had my wonderful, gorgeous son. (I could go on about him for ages!)
In December, I had my first big medical problem - my first gallstone attack. They continued through til June before being diagnosed.
In July, I had my second major surgery in a year. I'm sore as heck, but it's pain I can handle. I feel like a horrible mom because I can't hold Ollie, cuddle him or make him feel better or understand what's going on. I can't even laugh when he's cute because that hurts the most :( I know I have to take care of me so I CAN take care of him, but I just feel bad that he has no reason why mommy isn't cuddling him.
Anyway, on to the cuteness that is Ollie :) He's sitting up by himself much better. He loves loves loves monkeys!! Normally he sleeps very well and can sleep by hisself (as long as he's in our bed, not the crib). I'm afraid this is going to screw that up :( His favorite toy is our remotes - not toy ones. He loves walking while we hold his hands and I wouldn't be surprised if he skipped crawling to walk. The only issue is we don't have anything for him to pull up on/cruise on.
Vacation in 24 days. I cannnnnnooott wait!!

I'm truly saddend by Jon & Kate Goesslin. I really hoped they'd be able to work out their relationship for the kids. It sounds like they want to remain friends and are attempting to keep the kids happy. :(
On a happier note, here is part of Dougs Father's Day present:
(the letters spell daddy). We went to the park and relaxed all day :)
and more cute pants for you:
How cute is he???

Not me Monday!
I just realized it's Not Me Monday! For an explanation, visit http://www.mycharmingkids.net/ !I most certainly did not let my child poop on a hotel floor (ok, not all the poop, just the I took the other diaper away and haven't gotten the other one on yet poop). The hotel would most certianly have not deserved it, either!
I'm definitely not enjoying The Suite Life of Zach and Cody, The Suite Life on Deck and Wizards of Waverly Place and do not watch them every day.
I do not have 3 loads of laundry to put away and 2 in the machines. Not me.
I also do not have a bedroom to get clean before tomorrow morning, when our new bed is delivered. And I certainly do not not know when the last time under the bed was cleaned.
And, lastly, DH did not give our little son powdered sugar off of a funnel cake. Nope, not him.
Ugh. Lots to write about.
Ollie was sick with a stomach bug. It lasted several long, miserable days. We went to the dr Tuesday & Friday. He seems to be normal as of yesterday/today. He pooped on the carpet of the hotel. Haha, take that crappy hotel!
We had fun in Baltimore. (More on that later. Ollie's thrashing in my lap). He loved the monkeys, elephants and fish at the zoo. I think the boys might have enjoyed the aquarium more, but oh well :P Ollie picked out a stuffed monkey for a souvenir (did we expect anything else?).
Hotel. Zoo (my reminders for later).
We're getting our new bed tomorrow. I had to go out and buy new sheets (it's a King size!!!) on top of cleaning the bedroom. Of course, now Ollie wants to be in my arms and I can't get anymore cleaning done. Arg! Oh well.
I think theres more, but I can't think..Hm. Traffic on 95/66 sucks! It took us 7.5 hours to get home, when it only took us about 3 to get there!!!
