Oh no...SHARK!

I was looking for Lyndon some new sneaker and sandals since it will hopefully start getting warm here. The sneakers he has are starting to get all scuffed and torn up which is fine for when he is out playing but he needs cute shoes to wear in public of course. I cant have my baby boy running around looking completely crazy! So I was looking on piperlime.com (Yes, I will confess I was looking for shoes for myself too! I want some cute flats!) Then I ran across these! Tell me they are freakin' adorable! A must have for little boys! Unfortunatley, the biggest size they have is a 7. Which is what he is wearing right now. But he wont be in it for much longer and if I'm gonna shell out 30 bucks for a pair of shoes I'd like him to be able to wear them for longer than a few months. I think I am going to order them for Tori's little boy Connor. They are too cute for me not to order!

I finally gave in...

and ordered some stinkin' maternity pants. And they just got here!!! I figured it was time since I can no longer wear most of my jeans with out the much loved Belly Band. And I of course had just gotten rid of any bigger clothes I had right before I found out I was pregnant. I managed to avoid maternity pants during my last pregnancy until a month before I had Lyndon. But then again I wore mostly sweatpants/drawstring stuff. But anyway, I found some cute capris on Old Navy's website.

And since it is still cold here and will be for God know how long I ordered some jeans too. I have to roll the capris an extra time since I'm freakishly short but they fit really good and I LOVE them!

On a side note, Sophie has been kicking NON-STOP! This kid will not stop...she is way too hyper! So hopefully other people will get to feel her kick because with the exception of Erika getting to feel Lyndon kick once, I dont think anyone else got to. He was stubborn and refused to kick if anyone put their hand on my belly.

Things my toddler says..

Lyndon has said the most random off the wall things since he started talking. However, lately they are getting even more random and nuts! I also have a feeling he is going to be that brother that lies about anything to get his little sister in trouble, claiming she hit him when she wasnt even in the same room as him. Yea, he already tries it with his daddy. He tells me his daddy spanked him this morning, knowing he hadnt even seen his daddy yet and was still asleep when his daddy left for work. So here is a list of a few things he has said lately:


-I love you in the world (I'm not quite sure where he got this from but he tells me this daily! I assume he means he loves me more than anything in the world)

-There was a zombie in my room this morning. That monster is gonna get it (he actually told me this one this morning..usually it's vampires or monsters)

-You smell like juice (This is apparently an insult! The first time he told me this he was mad and said it with a tone like I was an alcohlic and had been out drinking all night)

- My Sophie is hurting my belly (He has already begun blaming his problems on his sister...this usually means his tummy hurts. I guess he thinks there is a Sophie in there causing the problem)

-Mawmaw got me a jelly fish (Yea, your guess is as good as mine)

There are many many more so I'll add to this later. But for now I have to go see what he and the dog have gotten into!

It's a Girl!!!!

We found today that we are having a little girl! I am beyond excited even though I just knew it would be a girl this time! While they were doing the ultrasound Lyndon kept telling his daddy that baby looks creepy. Of course his response was 'Yea it does huh'. Thanks for encouraging him!!!! They are such boys. And although last time we were told it was a girl only to find out a few months later that it was a boy, this doctor seemed pretty sure. YAY! I sent out a mass text message as soon as we started leaving the doctors office of course to inform anyone I could. Then went to the store to buy her some girly clothes! Its been killing me not knowing because I have been wanting to buy baby stuff since I found out I was pregnant. Well since I got over the shock that I was pregnant again. Lyndon is coming around to the idea of it now too. Haha. After they were done with the ultrasound they gave us some of the pictures to keep of course and Lyndon kept pointing to them saying 'That's my baby'. It was too cute. He and his daddy then started fighting over whose baby it was. I think they just like arguing and getting each other worked up. But that is it for now. Just wanted to update this a little.

The Shrinking Pants

I found this pretty hilarious and felt the need to share. My darling husband has been a constant weight pretty much the entire time I have known him. So over the past few months he has gradually been gaining a little weight. Which isn't a big deal to me, I love him regardless. However, the Marine Corps does have so pretty strict rules about their weight and if they go over their max weight they start monitoring them pretty hard and it is just a big ordeal. Not to mention it looks really bad in his records. Well ever since he started gaining weight, he has started weighing himself like a girl on a diet. I swear he weighs himself at least 3 times a days. Its crazy but funny. I have been suggesting that we start working out together. Which he always finds an excuse not to.
Monday morning I got up with him while he got ready for work. With the exception of like 2 days this was the first day he has really had to go to work since Christmas eve. As he was putting on his uniform pants he began cussing and carrying on. Not know what was actually going on, I came into the living room to see that he couldn't button his pants! He then insisted that his pants had shrunk! At that point, it took everything I had not to start laughing. Determined it was because of those pants, he made me go get another pair out of the closet. Yea, turned out those pants didn't fit him either. Which I found ever more hilarious. He just kept getting even more mad and saying his pants must have shrunk. I had to hide my face several times so he wouldn't see how funny I thought this was. All I could think was 'Yea it must be the pants, not the lbs you gained.' Now I will give him some credit, his uniforms are tailored to fit him just right and any loss or gain in weight changes the fit. But just the fact that he was in such denial made this hilarious to me. I know, I am hateful for that.

It is turning into a ZOO around here

I really suck at keeping up with this thing. I thought once school ended this semester I'd have time to post. That wasnt the case! Oh well. I'm gonna try harder to keep up with it though and post on a regular basis. I guess I should have more motivation now since, well it is really going to turn into a zoo around here in July. That's right...I'm pregnant again. This was by no means planned! God help me!!! So I supposed this will turn into somewhat of a pregnancy blog, at least for a little while. I'm due July 13th but since I am opting for another C-section he said he will schedule it for the week before...some time around the 6th. And had our first appointment on the 17th and said I was 6 weeks along. I think I am finally coming to terms with the fact that I am pregnant. Took quite a while to face it though. We found out around the 4th of November. And after a few days of crying and panicing I figured there isnt much I can do now. Lyndon took much longer to accept it. He is just now warming up to the idea. For the longest time he refused to believe or say he was going to be a big brother or that there was even a baby in my belly. I now have him convienced he is going to have a sister and her name is Sophia. Of course, some one else isnt too happy about that. He has his heart set on another boy. Tough luck...it will be a girl or I will be switching babies in the hospital haha!

Ding Dong The Witch is Dead...

Things have been crazy lately so I havent had much time to update this thing. I seem to always be swamped with school work! I hate school...I dont know why I decided to go back. I'm hoping it gets better or I get used to it. But so far that isnt the case. I was on the wait list for the CNA class that started Oct 16th and they decided to send me an email the 15th letting me know I got a spot and could register for it. However, I only had 12 hours to decide and I didnt check my email until after it was too late. Assholes! But whatever, I am registered to take it next semester anyway.

It's approx. a week and 4 days until the Marine Ball...oh joy joy. And instead of doing the usual which dress should I get bullshit like every other year, I am wearing the dress I wore for Emily's wedding. Its a really cute dress and it fits me better now than it actually did for her wedding. I still used dress shopping as an excuse to get anyway for a day though. And Katie and I went to St Louis to "dress shop". Which turned into trying on ridiculous and hideous dresses just for the hell of it and shoe shopping. It was a fun day until we got lost on the way home. We some how ended up on these creepy back roads in the middle of no where with nothing but corn fields around us. And it would have been fine it is wasnt like 10 at night. That's when things started getting scary. It probably didnt help that I've seen too many scary movies. I swear it was the classic horror movie scene though. Including cell phones losing reception and trucks showing up out of no where and trying to run us off the road! We somehow managed to make it home safely though.

As for Lyndon, he is getting way to big. And so bossy! Lately every thing that comes out of his mouth is follwed by 'right now!' Such as "get me a sippy cup, right now!". Of course, he doesnt get it. I dont play that game. I refuse to get him anything unless he says please mommy. My absolute favorite thing he says though is "I love you too much!" after I tell him I love him so much. It is soooo cute.

I'm still havent decided on a Halloween costume for him. I guess I am just being too picky. But considering Halloween is this weekend, I guess I should decide on something. He absolutely loves going to the Halloween store too. Everytime we get in the car he asks if we are going to there. He is obsessed with Halloween right now. He has such an imagination too...thank god! He walks around the house with boxes in his head saying really slowly in a monotone voice "Robot, robot" He is nuts!

Oh good news, we might be coming home for Thanksgiving! The hubby asked me yesterday if I wanted to cause he was thinking about taking leave. OF COURSE I DO!!! Like I would turn down a chance to go home! He even agreed to participate in my family events after I promised he wouldnt have to see a certain wicked witch (haha)! Hopefully his leave request gets aprroved and we get to. We shall see though.
