First Tooth

I can not remember if I posted this--Little Kevin has his first tooth---right bottom tooth has poked through and you can see it--left bottom tooth you can't see but you can feel---:::sniff::: They grow so fast!!!

My Wordless Wednesday!

Thursday's Post

I woke up this morning at 6:00---and I was out the door at 7:35---On Wednesdays and Thursday's Tony starts school at 8:05--so I have to drop Alexis off first and then Tony--I walk Alexis up to her class while Tony stays with the baby--whew--I am running...LOL. Thank goodness that their schools are right down the street from each other--BUT--the traffic is insane---I live 2 minutes from the highschool but some times it can take me up to 25 minutes to get into the parking lot. I am managing to get my kids to there school on time--even the first day--but for some reason it seemed I was always a step behind, and I just was so sure I was on top of everything. You see I am very hard on myself, and I need to stop that. Kevin called me and told me everything would be okay--they are not going to lose Alexis--I know this, but she is only 6, and I have to be there for her---I went to get her and they have all the cars lined up and when my car gets up to the front, they have a lady with a bull Horn that calls Alexis's name---I got there and waited about ten minutes and I could see her, happily chatting with her friends, so I calmed down. Also, I am a little sad, that I won't be able to donate as much time to my kids school as I did before--but I am so happy to have Little Kevin. He is such a ball of sunshine--he had his well baby this morning after I dropped the kids off--he is doing really well--he is now 16 pounds--100% breastmilk!!! I can start giving him water if he wants it or if it is really hot--BUT, it has finally cooled off and all my windows are open--the breeze is wonderful!!!!!

I went shopping with my Grandmother yesterday, and went to the Farmer's Market--ohh, I got all sorts of nice fruits and veggies.

Ohhh, I forgot, on the first day of school, I had to stop by the WalMart--yes, WalMart---I needed to pick up a pair of FISKAR scissors and another notebook for Alexis, anyway, it was so nice, not crowded at all--YAY!!!! I love WalMart--but not the crazy crowds--so now that school is back I can start shopping there again...LOL.

I cleaned everything off of the floors upstairs and ran the vacuum through, now I have to do the downstairs.

Dinner will be something with groundbeef, not sure yet. Last night was pork chops. Okay---that is all for now xoxoxox

Wonderful (HOT) Wednesday

Good evening. Kevin had called me to tell me that the phone guy is having trouble with the phone lines in his new office, so it would be awhile and not to make an elaborate dinner. Then Tony called me to ask if he could stay over at his friends---so now it was just Alexis and I, and of course Little Kevin. Alexis was in complete disbelief when I told her it was just going to be leftovers--oh, she was not happy..LOL. So what did I do? I made some noodles with Parmesan cheese--or *stinky* cheese as she calls it---she was happy--and I was actually happy that such a small gesture could make such a difference, and my little one so happy.

Some of my grass has died so Kevin had sprinkled some grass seed--so I was watering it a little bit today---and told Alexis to get in her bathing suit--and I watered the grass as she ran through it---I took pictures of it too--I will post them up tomorrow--Little Kevin sat in his bouncer in the shade, while my doggy ran for his life not to get wet---because the hose would accidentally squirt him if he got to close...LOL

I cleaned my birdy cage--they sure can make a mess. I have to vacuum under their cage everyday---or I will have feathers and seed everywhere. They sing all day too. I washed all of Little Kevin's clothes today--did I mention, he is rolling over--and over and over....I layed him on the floor on his blanket--and turned around and bam he was already flipped...he sure is getting really good with his neck muscles too.

School starts next Tuesday--Tony starts at 7:40 and Alexis starts at 7:45--Now, I am going to figure out what time I need to be up, to wear I can get everything done nicely in the morning and not have every one rushing--I don't like rushing or running late--and I am sure my kids don't like it either--I like things calm and organized. Breakfast needs to be done, and lunches and snacks need to be made--clothes picked out, etc....all, this while trying to keep Little Kevin happy too. I know I will set into a routine soon after--and hopefully smoothly:)

The dishwasher is going and I will unload it first thing tomorrow morning--I have a load of towels to do too----I also need to get new back packs for the kids, but I was hoping Kevin would be home early one night so I could run to the Walmart without baby Kevin--The Walmart has been crazy busy lately---and it is hard sometimes to maneuver the cart with Little Kevin in it--I am short so it is hard to see over him in the cart, and I tend to run over people sometimes...j/k:)

Well Baby

Kevin had his Well Baby checkup today --he is 2 months and 1 week and weighs 13 pounds and 8 ounces, 23 inches long---he is a great nurser...LOL. My girlfriend sent me a bunch of pictures she had taken, here are two--I will post the rest later--->
This picture was taken shortly after I had him--I was still in recovery:)

7.14--YAY

Tuesday--I just got home from the baby Doctor--my son weighs 7.14----when he was born, he was 7.11--then when we left the hospital he was an even 7 now, he has gained back his birth weight and then some--the Ped said that whatever I was doing, to keep doing it---(that made me feel good) He is a very nice doctor! He is a new one, since the Ped we had here in Cali, retired, I had to find a new one, and I have to say I like him a lot.

Did a lot of driving already today--Took Tony to school--Alexis to school, then to the Doctors---then I have to pick up Alexis and then pick up Tony. Baby is sleeping right now--and I am taking a moment to sit here and take a breath:) It is HOT today---it is supposed to get into the 90's--and then cool off tomorrow.

I woke up at 5:30--and took my shower----I am so glad I get that done first thing. I took out ground beef for dinner----I think I may make meatloaf--we had spaghetti last night, so meatloaf will be something different.

I am also, making my list for the grocery store---Kevin will probably do that shopping, since I don't like to take baby out in public until it is at least a month.

Baby Kevin's belly button fell off at the Doctor's today, so he can now have an official bath--YAY--we have a baby bath tub--I can't wait:)

I did not have time to curl my hair, so I threw it on top of my head in kind of a half ponytail bun sort of thing...LOL-----My hair is long and straight and baby fine, so I usually add a little curl to give it some body----

I need to make more lists, so I don't forget things--I need to renew books tomorrow---when Kevin gets home, I will run to the library, and renew my books--I am absolutely loving the *Family Collection* by Laura Ingalls Wilder---I usually am a really fast reader, but right now, I am lucky to get a few pages read---what a happy busy time.

Okay, I am going to go----you all have a wonderful Tuesday!!! xoxo

Saturday's Busy Ramble

Hello!!! I have been busy. In between Little Kevin's naps--I have been getting my laundry done--My Mil did do a load for me before I came home, so that helped. I vacuumed the living room and cleaned the bird cage---I put in some chicken in the oven, when it is done, I will let it cool and pull the meat off the bone--and make some chicken and noodles for dinner.

I went to the Doctor's yesterday so he could check my incision, and he gave me the okay to drive, so I will be able to drive my kids to school.

I have always been one to take quick showers--but I have been taking even quicker ones...LOL.

Little Kevin is such a good baby--he wakes up every two hours at night to nurse, but he is so quiet, he makes a few noises, I nurse him and he goes right back to sleep, he is just so sweet.

My husband, said that when I feel up to it, I can have another baby--LOL---he said it would probably be a good idea to have them closer together this time---I was thrilled, because I know he doesn't want to be 60 and still have little ones running around:) Which of course I would love.

I am going to have to renew some of the books I got at the library, I have not had any time to read them--when Kevin falls asleep at night and everyone else is in bed, I follow right behind....

Also, when I get into a better routine, I hope to be able to visit all my beloved blogs more often:)

Also, have you ever been so deliriously happy, that you don't mind how busy you are----I literally jump out of bed so excited to start my day.

One more thing--when they were admitting me into the hospital, the lady that was filling out the forms, asked me who my employer was? I smiled and said, I am a Mom--My husband said, she is a homemaker. Then I got to thinking, how sad, that some women choose to work rather then taking care of their family--there is no greater joy!!! Now, remember the keyword I used was *Choose* :)

Have a wonderful Saturday--and LeighAnn--I didn't forget pictures today, I will post some new ones later today...((((Gentle Hugs))) xoxoxox

"Show and Tell"

(Giggles)
This is my show and tell for today---Need I say more:)
1 week and 1 day old

Wonderful Wednesday!!

Happy Wednesday everyone---I can not believe tomorrow will be a week. I woke up this morning at 5:30, fed and changed Little Kevin--I made bacon and eggs and pancakes for everyone---with a side of fresh strawberries--the berries were so good. I am still drinking decaf---but it is funny how my appetite has already changed--when I was Pregnant, I was always hungry--and now, I have to remind myself to eat--which, I have to say, my husband has been helping me with so much, especially dinner and the dishes. I am so glad I did so much cleaning and organizing before the baby---it was so nice to come home to a nice clean home and not have to worry. I do have to start my routines again though--

Dinner lats night turned out to be:
Grilled pork Strips
Baked potato
Grilled corn on the cobb
Fresh green salad
YummY!!!

Wednesday Dinner:
Italian Sausage
Noodles with Garlic and oil
Fresh veggies

Green salad--until further notice:)

I really would like to make some homemade rolls sometime this week.

Here are some flowers I recieved--very pretty--->

..and of course, here is my precious son today----> I can't stop kissing him:)

I will be back, It is time to get Alexis ready for school--you all have a fantastic Day xoxo

Baby Chatter:)

Happy Tuesday Everyone!! I am having so much fun, being a new mother once again---I have posted some more pictures, and will continue to post new ones. Those of you on the KF board, I know you have seen some of these pictures already--but new ones will be coming too:)


Little Kevin---that is what my husband calls him, I call him peanut and beautiful. He was born at exactly 1:00 p.m. on Thursday---I had a spinal which I was not too thrilled about--I would have much rather had an epidural----I know some people can't tell the difference, but I sure did..(LOL). They had a student put my IV in my hand--I think I was her first---my hand is a bit sore still. Kevin is doing my shopping right now with Alexis, we made the list and off they went---He so enjoys food shopping, so I am curious as to what extras he will get--My husband is such a sweet blessing---he is taking the children back and forth to school while working in between all that--he has his laptop and cell phone----so he is working even though he is home. He also made dinner last dinner for us and cleaned the kitchen so I could rest. Everyday, I wake up, I can not wait to start to my day--and when my little one cries in the middle of the night, I can not wait to nurse him and hold him and smell him---I love changing him, and dressing him, and kissing him--and holding his tiny little hands---I thank God everyday-God is SOOOO GOOD!!!!! Okay, I will be back shortly--Hugs to everyone xoxoxo

Tuesday dinner---> I took pork strips out--so that is the main part--and I know Kevin is going to buy a bunch of fresh fruits and veggies--so I will be back to continue my menu.

Also, for a newborn, I don't use baby wipes, I use warm washcloths to clean his little bottom--no chemicals on his tender skin---okay, I will be back--and hopefully, I can come back tonight and catch up on all my beloved blogs too xoxox

Right after the birth---> LOL

Little Kevin

I am soooooooo in love:)

Introducing Little Kevin:

I have so much I want to tell you all---I will be back shortly, I just wanted to post a quick Hello, and I am home:) He weighed in at 7 pounds and 11 ounces and he is 19 inches with a head full of hair.......

I will post a bunch of pictures too...xoxo
