Wiggle worms

Saturday- I went over to our neighbors garage sale and lo and behold she was selling her breaker box which were the breakers we needed. Blessed!! Now we have heat finally
Sunday- primary felt like a disaster! They called the piano player out of the room right when it was singing time. I still don't feel like I fit this calling yet. They don't know a lot of songs but that taught me what songs we need to work
on
Monday- ta da I have a yeast infection. I personally think this is one of the worst things a women can get! I even caught it and got the pill soon but takes 24 hours to kick in, I'm dying!!! They make me want to punch a wall, not easy having one and taking care of a baby
I got better wrist supporters for my wrist, wearing one at a time. They are too bulky to wear both together
We went grocery shopping :)
Also got more meds for the kittens
Watched after earth which was pretty good. There was one intense scene and Isaac, almond, hazel, and I both were just starring at the tv it was hilarious but sadly I don't have a picture
Tuesday- spencer stayed home from work! My infection was just so bad I don't know how I would of taken care of Isaac alone. So I lied around a lot but missed taking care of Isaac. I helped a little here and there. Later we decided okay I'm going to insta care. The doctor does and check and says wow that looks painful. I said well yes it is. So I got cream which I wish there was a fix right away but never my luck so hopefully over night the cream and everything will kick in. Still not back to normal :( I hate this feeling of being uncomfortable and not being able to do things i planned!
Wednesday- by around 6am I was starting to feel much better! :) I sometimes think we get sick or have some kind if illness to make us appreciate being healthy. Because man I am now do glad I'm almost back to normal and can now do things!
I accomplished a lot of chores today. Spencer just worked from 7-1115 and I also watched this tv show called beauty and the beast it's pretty good!
The kittens are growing so much you can tell!
We then put Isaac in his elephant costume... He looked so cute! We went to jerimiahs Halloween carnival. I ran into one of the nurses that helped me when I had Isaac. I didn't expect her to remember be but she was a pretty good nurse and she missed Isaac being born by 3 hours so I showed him to her
Thursday- sadly I think I'm getting a cold. I will wake up with a sore throat and stuffy nose :( it's been awhile since I've had a cold and now I have a baby to take care of. Hopefully he doesn't get it.
I made chicken pot pie and Hillary came over and we hung out for awhile just catching up. :)
And my kittens are crazy! Almond loves the bumbo it's hilarious!
I'm finally getting a weekly routine down with chores it's so nice!
And getting primary things together!
Friday- we got up and ready. We headed to Walmart and then got the tires rotated. Kaylee and Kaidyn came over :) Isaac liked her. It was cute. I rocked her to sleep. Love holding a sleeping baby. And Kaylee played with Isaac. He is achieving so much. It makes me proud! :) he is growing up!
Then we took a nice walk when spencer got home. We then rented two redox movies and had fun with Isaac and the kittens. I love when Isaac giggles. I finished making the wiggle worms for primary they turned out fairly good :)

Lost kittens

Each kitten took their turn at a cold, poor things
Hazel is getting used to us and loves getting attention. Almond is still not sure about us
All Monday I couldn't find them and I was worried
I looked everywhere finally looked in the bottom diaper drawer (where the extra pads were) and there they were snuggled up. I was very thankful they were alive and safe but felt terrible because I had shut the top two drawers which shut them in the bottom drawer so I cried out of relief and anger at myself. Ahh
The kittens got a check up, they do have some upper cold so I have to attempt to give them medicine twice a day. They did good at the vet though :)
Almond is nuts and he attacks his sister all the time and I feel bad cuz she is sick so I save her.
Hazel likes to come curl up in my lap when I'm sitting even if I'm holding a wiggly Isaac
I shut our bedroom doors and let the kittens roam Wednesday night
It's hard giving animals medicine, jeez

I was able to visit with an old friend today (Tuesday) it was really nice to talk to her again :)

Isaac now wakes up blowing raspberry bubbles. He is just so cute when he entertains himself like that.
Still have rough nights starting at around midnight now. I just don't understand.
Being a parent is do frustrating especially at night.
Tuesday- Isaac won't go to sleep for naps easily anymore, so 2 1/2 to 3 hours in between naps with a cranky baby
Going to try some doterra oils for Isaac to sleep better
Not sure if the doterra helped or not. He slept maybe a little better
He got his shots and handled it pretty good (Wednesday) I'm so proud!
We took a walk with my mom it was really nice :) I'm going to hate the snow weather cuz that means walls will probably be a no go
Spencer got more things for his asthma and going to get an allergy test soon, thinking i might do it too, I'm curious what I'm allergic to.
Spencer and I need a date night soon
I can't wait to buy first foods for Isaac to try, in a little over a month!!!
Wednesday I tried doterra oils on Isaac again in a few more spots, he slept from about 9-1130 and then I figured he might be hard to put down so I fed him and brought him in bed with us and he fell right asleep when I laid him down. It's 3 (I have to be up) and he is still sleeping! Going to try this again and keep him in his crib
Thursday night was terrible! He woke up crying/screaming every hour almost.and he would almost fall asleep then wake himself back up. I hope this isn't going to be an every day thing and be his four month sleep regression thing. :)
I believe Isaac has a yeast infection again ugh
Somedays I feel like I have this mothering thing down and then they grow up on you and change their routines and then I feel lost all over again it's crazy!
And hopefully Monday I can get my thumb muscles fixed somehow because I want my hands to feel normal again and to pick up Isaac with no pain or stiffness.

There are days where I really try to see Gods Hand in our lives and today is one moment I'm going to share.
One those times when Isaac miraculously takes a long nap and I get everything done I need to
And we've been trying to get new breakers for weeks so our heater will work but we kept being given the wrong ones. I was getting frustrated because I have a baby and we need our heat to work. Our neighbor across the street was having a garage sale and I thought I might as well go over and check it out. Older ladies always seem to have those usual items that look old and you wonder why they kept them and who is ever going to buy that but I tried to look at everything. Next thing you know I look down at her old breaker box.... Those were the exact breakers we needed! And ta da they worked so we now have heat, it feels so good and we've been blessed!

Kittens

We headed out to California with the in laws!
Isaac did pretty good in the car, he only had one screaming fit
We made the 10 hour drive in 11 1/2 hours which is pretty good with a baby
But we miss daddy but he has been fixing up the house a little bit
First night not great sleep
Tuesday we went to see the cooks where grandma works and they all swarmed to greet him so he got overwhelmed and cried the whole time
Then he took naps and I watched some tv shows
We went to target and he played with the kitty
I tried pumpkin pie pop tarts, not too bad
Then we had dinner for the missionaries
Realized I look a heck of a lot better now then I did when I first was married. I looked better when I was pregnant then I did when we first got married lol
Another rough night! Sigh
He takes great naps though
He had a really cranky moment today and nothing worked so I put water on in the bathroom and set him in the old carseat. He chewed on his pacifier strap I walked away then it was suddenly quiet, I go to check on him and he is asleep. It was hilarious. Then we want shopping! I got the last two flare jeans in my size at Aeropostale and a cute sweater and Isaac a cute outfit and his first Christmas ornament :)
Had yummy red robin
Cold and rainy today.
We stopped to see the johansons, love that family
Then I decided to put Isaac to bed in the old carseat (it reclines but still keeps him up right more) do not judge me because I just needed to try my options
Put him down at 9pm and woke up at 2. I fed him and he slowly fell back asleep and slept until 4 and then struggled a bit and went back to sleep until 6/7 =]
Oh my goodness. Which means I slept great and I need an old carseat like this.
My thought is the extra prop is what helps him (maybe his acid reflex is worse?) (even though we did just up his meds a week ago) a phone book under the mattress is not enough apparently
My poor baby, I should of realized but what's proped up more and safe for your baby at night?
I am so blessed to have an amazing little boy :)
We headed out to LA to the temple. Only they changed the times but didn't online so we missed a session (I have still yet to finally do one since Isaac) :(
So I was pretty upset and sad
Afterwards we went to try the ice cream sandwich place only we couldn't find parking since it was the time everyone was getting off work. Then tried to drive down a certain way but got lost and hit bad traffic so we were stuck in the LA area for longer then planned. Thankfully Isaac slept the whole time. Then Joseph came over and brownies were made. Isaac went and played with him no problem which was great. We all talked then had ice cream and brownies!
Thursday night.... Not a fantastic sleep night again. I can't wait to get back home so spencer can have a turn with Isaac. This has been great and I've done pretty well without him but now I need a break from Isaac. A vacation for me would be 4 hours or so without Isaac or even a full night sleep but I pump so that's crap. I can't wait until I'm done pumping, I'm so done with it all. I want my body back.
Sorry most of this post has been semi negative it's probably because most was written at night which is when I get frustrated.
Did I mention I have to give a tall Sunday? Yeah I'm not looking forward to it at all, I'm actually really upset about it which is not the right attitude but it's hard when your sleepy
Friday we got up and headed to Charlie browns. I love that store! So of course I bought a few awesome things!!! Then headed home and got ready for the movies with Erin. We saw gravity in 3d,amazing! It was kind of scary cuz you felt like you were in space ahhh but really great!
And nice to kind of have a girls evening.
Then I got everything packed and ate dinner and we headed out to the airport. Everything went fairly well. The flight was delayed a little while but Isaac did pretty good. And no crying when we took off he fell asleep off and on. Sat by a great guy who has three daughters and joined the church about 7-8 years ago. And he still has the passion which was inspiring :)
And spencer bought us two kittens! The girls name is hazel and the boy is almond. They are 3 months old. Poor almond is sick with a cold so we need to take him to the doctors on Monday. Poor guy!
Giving my talk on Sunday that I threw together. Probably need to take Isaac to the doctor again and I need a LONG nap
Just life taking it's course
You are going to have to deal with no pictures for a little while. My laptop charger stopped working so we are down a laptop.

Rolling over

Isaac pulls his pacifier in and out of his mouth now, the little stinker
He is a lot better on his tummy!
He weighs 13.4 lbs and 24 inches long
His doctor moved so we have a new one, he is great but Isaac doesn't seem to like him yet.
We got a higher dose of reflex medicine so hopefully this helps with his issues at night or we will have to go back and talk other options.
When he is in his back he rolls to his sides
A few times he has rolled from his back to his stomach to his back and his stomach so an actual full roll :)
It is getting harder to change his diaper lol
His giggles are so cute! When spencer jumps towards him and says boo that makes him laugh
He now screams and yells a lot, getting to know his voice
He loves to watch tv, but I try to only have it on a few times in the day
I absolutely LOVE his giggles!
I put him in his side to sleep and lately he has rolled to his tummy and woken up lol we think sometimes he moves and bonks his head into the rails...


Still haven't got the breaker fixed in our home which has taken a lot longer then we thought
I wish I could get rid of all my clothes (except a few items) and start over with a new wardrobe and have money for that.
I always get rid of a lot but somehow I still have a ton of things. But I should down size again
We found our missing box but think we are missing one more still...
I really need to find time to ice my wrists...
Off to California with the in laws driving then flying back on Friday
I'm excited and nervous

My baby is growing up and learning new things. What a big boy :)

Owning a home

This post is written daily so it's just random happenings in order. Slowly getting the house ready, finding things here and there we need to fix
Having carpet sure makes it feel more homey which I didn't feel with the hard wood floors
I defiantly need to be better with patience in all situations.
It's harder to be patient when you have lack of sleep because your baby can't sleep longer then two hours at a time at night. And seems to only sleep best when they are in bed with you (don't give me a speech on how babies shouldn't sleep in bed with you. It's my child and our decision)
I miss the days where he would wake up after 4 or so hours, I feed him and he fell back asleep for another 4 hours. I will take that back any day. I need rest.
I try to take naps with him but there are things I HAVE to get done while he sleeps and then I go to lay down and he wakes up.
He is taking better naps at least an hour now sometimes more.
Once we get into our house hopefully we can get on a better daily routine again and maybe then he will sleep better
I feel so scattered having things here and there but very soon all should finally be at our house

Isaac seems to laugh the most at night time. He laughs when we bounce him on the bed or when objects hit him in the face (soft ones don't worry)
He falls asleep almost instantly when I hold him in a certain position when he is ready for a nap or bed. I just have the mom touch. Other people can get him to sleep too but mine is almost instantly.
He is so peaceful when he sleeps
He loves being naked so each day we let him be for a few minutes.
When he is in his belly reaching for a toy he flips over onto his back lol not on purpose but I love it.

My wrists still hurt which haven't made moving very easy but pulled muscles take a long time to heal

The beginning of fall!! My favorite :)

We are getting everything moved in. Just a few things were left behind for now.
Now the fun if unpacking. I'm really excited but also nervous because this is the first time I will be living without my mom with Isaac. I know that's weird cuz most people are alone from the start and I know she is just a street away but I'm still nervous about leaving. So I will probably come visit a lot

Our ac and heater don't work sooooo it's 60 degrees in our house and I'm freezing!!!

We are missing a box of our things we have looked everywhere we can think of. I just don't know where it could be. It has some of our plates, cups, bowls and our microwave turn table (that's what we know we are missing)
And I go and lose the keys to our shed.... Nothing is in it yet but ah I don't usually lose things but lately I feel I'm losing my mind lol

Things are getting organized :) it's looking more like our home it's crazy that we own a home!
It's a little scary being in a new place with all the new noises but I'm slowly getting used to it all

Tried Isaac in the bed. I lasted until 4am. He woke up every thirty minutes then every hour then every two hours once we put him in bed with us. Exhausted!! I just don't know why he isn't sleeping through the night. He is earn (not hot), changed, fed, burped, and has medicine. Maybe he needs a higher dose of medicine. I don't know

We did our last costco trip.... Sad to be done but if we ever need anything I know I can ask my mom or sister
And next time we are going to try winco!

Well I guess Isaac and I are driving with the in laws down to California Monday and then flying back Friday. In excited but nervous because it's the first time without spencer for traveling and sleeping. I really hope Isaac is good for me so that it will feel like a vacation.
We don't have internet until Friday so it's just a written post for now
