And I thought that I would be bored.....

My biggest concern about becoming a stay at home Mom was that I was going to be bored. I had no idea that I wouldn't hardly have time to shower. Seriously some days I don't get to shower until about one or two in the afternoon. This is partly because in the morning I'm fighting with everything that I have to keep Isaak asleep so I can get more than 4-5 hours of sleep. I know now why I should have be younger to have kids because for some reason when I was in college 4-5 hours of sleep was definitely enough. Now I feel like I've got hit by a freight train. I have been told to sleep when Isaak sleeps, but that means that I never get to shower and then I have no time to do anything else........I know I'm sure people are crying for me. It's also an amazing experience to have this cute little baby that you are completely in charge of-well when you aren't praying constantly for help! We've had some exciting times I've learned a lot more about crying like my baby does it all the time and boys really do pee when you take their diaper off. I've been hit four times already-three times in one night. I also realized that I still have a full time job-it's called breastfeeding I do it for about 40 hours a week plus I'm on call all night.......But the last of my worries is boredom-who would have known???
But that little face makes it all worth it. He's so stinkin' cute!!!! Speaking of my full time job-I've got to go it's about that time again...

From me to him

Dear Isaak, Happy Birthday my little guy! It feels like just yesterday that you were literally pulled out to come into this world. Yes literally with forceps around your little head because you accidentally faced the wrong direction or maybe you faced the direction you wanted to. You didn’t seem like you were quite ready to come out because you were just wailing--almost like you were saying, “You know--I was perfectly comfortable in there.” I’ve learned this year that you surely know what you want and you will not stop until you get it. For example when we tried to spend the weekend away from home and you didn't like sleeping in your playpen! You woke up every 1/2 hour to let us know you weren't comfortable. You finally fell asleep around 3am when we put you on the bouncer. Cory slept with his arm around you on the floor so you didn't roll off. You weren’t going to come easy, eh?? I remember pushing and pushing and pushing and thinking this isn’t going how I thought that i...

For the LOVE!!

What a day we had. What a day we had. I get tired again just thinking about it. Cory's car is getting the muffler put back on. I'm a little sad about it because Isaak and I could hear his car coming from over a block away when he was on his way home, but it's also a little embarrassing how loud it is. I'm sure it defied all noise ordinances. In any case, Isaak and I have been getting up a little early to take Cory to work, which is kind of fun because we get to see him more, but before dinner it's not kind of fun. It's kind of stinky because it's a hustle to get everything all put together. Yesterday I had to make dinner at about 3pm so I could get everything in. So back to yesterday. Isaak and I had just rolled our bushy little tails out of bed and both of us were still in pajamas. I was wearing my chacos and one of Cory's jackets and Isaak wanted to bring all of his blankets. Thankfully for some weird reason I threw his tennis shoes into the diaper bag...

Whaaaaat??????

I'm happily brushing my teeth in the bathroom. I'm looking around wondering what else I could be doing while I'm brushing my teeth and I started to think to myself, hmmmm , I wonder what's in toothpaste? I picked up the tube with my free hand and continued brushing. As I was reading the back I noticed a WaRnINg : Do not use for more than four weeks at a time. What? Do not use for more than four weeks? I anticipated reading if you swallow more than what you are brushing your teeth with call poison control. I try to start adding up how long I've been using this toothpaste. Cory didn't like it, so I've been using it solo and it has surely been more than four weeks. Now I don't know what to do with it--do I take a break and come back to it or do I just keep using it? I mean it's been about three months and I still have quite a bit left and nothing seems out of the ordinary yet...But seriously I think that the warning on the toothpaste should at least be...
