Have poop, will paint! (TMI)

And I thought finger paints were messy!! Wyatt was in his room yelling "Mommy, poop!" so I go up there thinking I need to change his diaper...nope! He took it off himself and decided to use his poop as finger paint on his wall! YUCK! He holds out his hand, shows me his "crayon" and says "Mommy, poop." Yay....so now I have to put him in the bath for the 3rd time today...if he keeps this up Brandon is going to crap himself over the water bill! Ah so much for potty training going smoothly...off to scrub some walls now....luckily Wyatt likes to help clean!

My son...the little mommy

Wyatt cracks me up sometimes! The other day he put my LilyPadz on his "boobs" like he's seen me do a dozen times! Silly boy! Your nipples don't leak milk! (LilyPadz are silicone breast shields to prevent milk leaking.) Then today he takes my breast pump (its a manual one) and tries to "pump" his boobs! Geez! I guess he learns by example!

Potty training is off to a good start!

Wyatt has pooped in the potty!! And yesterday he peed in the potty all day! But today he has no interest....ah well....best not to push it....he's ready....almost. Maybe my Christmas present from him will be no more diapers!! hehe ... one can only hope!

Wyatt did what?!

He peed in the potty today!! Yay!! It was only a 2 second squirt but hey! At least he got up there on the big potty and peed in it! I'm so happy and proud of him!

My first Thanksgiving dinner....

that I cooked all by myself!!! I made a turkey, homemade mashed potatoes, gravy, sweet potato casserole, green bean casserole, stuffing, rolls, an apple pie, a cherry pie, and some chocolate chip cookies. The turkey came out juicy ~ not dry! Yay! And Brandon had the fatherly honor of carving the bird. Everything else was cooked to perfection as well! Duh I'm Betty Crocker! Of course it was yummy! haha It was just me, Brandon, and the kids this year. Wyatt ate some of everything while Hailey refused to eat anything....so she went to bed hungry. I see no point in her getting a hot dog after I spent all day cooking. So she could eat what I made or not eat at all...she chose the latter. Now that the food is put away and dishes are done I can relax...

My twins

So Natalie is wearing the same costume Wyatt wore for Halloween when he was a baby. Seeing as how their b-days are 3 days apart she will fit into the costumes he wore...way to be a cheapskate save money momma! LoL Here's a comparison pic of them so you can see how much alike they look!

Halloween is tomorrow!

So another post for the day cuz I can't wait til tomorrow! Halloween is one of my favorite holidays! I love dressing the kids up and seeing their faces when they get candy! Here's the kids in their costumes. Hailey is a sweetheart bat; Wyatt is a gorilla; and Natalie is a chili pepper.

6 weeks old

My baby girl is 6 weeks old today! I can't believe how fast the time has gone! She is starting to smile now! She was 11lbs 11oz at her 1 month check up...I'm guessing she's up to 12 lbs by now! She looks just like her brother when he was her age...except with girly features of course! Ahh....where does the time go?

No, that wasn't a gunshot!

So there I was knocked out cold peacefully taking a nap on the couch with Natalie sleeping on my chest when I was startled awake by a gunshot loud POP! I go to the kitchen to find an amateur chef's mistake a waterless pan of boiled eggs on a hot burner! Oops! I forgot to turn off the stove. I must have fallen asleep while breastfeeding my daughter....this is what happens to a sleep deprived mother. At least only 1 egg exploded all over my kitchen and not all 6 that were in the pan. Ahhh the great smell of burnt boiled eggs now is scarred in my nostrils fills my house. Yet another reason why you should NEVER leave the kitchen while cooking...

1st bath

Natalie's cord stump fell off 2 days ago so I decided to give her her 1st real bath today in the bathroom sink. She didn't have any complaints until it was time to get out...it was a little chilly. But as soon as she was wrapped up in the towel she settled down. I had my little helper, Wyatt, with me too. He found daddy's razor ~ the blade was off thank God! ~ and decided to shave the baby's legs....guess he watches me too often! Then he decided to shave his armpits....oh geez! No more showers with mommy! LoL

2 weeks today

Natalie is 2 weeks old today! Hopefully my hubby has gotten her enrolled into DEERS and Tricare...she needs an appt!

In other news...Wyatt was running around in his diaper like usual and found my cell phone. He decided to "call daddy" ... he opened the phone and "talked" to daddy then closed the phone and tried to put it in his pocket ~ like daddy ~ only he wasn't wearing pants so he put it in his diaper! Wish I had my camera close by to take a pic! :( Oh well...it was too cute though!

1 week

1 week ago I had my precious baby girl. She has already gained back her birth weight and then some! She is 8.4 lbs now and 19.75 inches. Ah booby milk does wonders...hehehe...Hailey and Wyatt are adjusting rather well....Wyatt is still and little needy and wanting to be held a lot but he's getting there. If he weren't 42 lbs I'd pick him up in a heartbeat! But we snuggle when we can and he has daddy to hold him for a bit.

Natalie Paige is here!

On Sept 18th at 3:47 pm she made her debut into the world. After 11 hours of labor I had a successful VBAC ~ with the help of forceps. She had her hand stuck by her head and was unable to come out after many pushes. She weighed 8 lbs 2.5 oz and was 19.5 inches long. She looks just like Wyatt!

What did she say?

So Hailey and my dad were talking this morning and she had on her horoscope shirt from Old Navy....it says Capricorn on the front and describes the sign on the back...and my dad says to her "Are you a Capricorn?" and Hailey says "Do I smell like one?" LoLoLoL

To train or not to train....

That is the question....So today Wyatt was running around w/o a diaper as I let him do on occasion....he came up to me holding his winkie and says "pee pee" so I asked him if he wanted to sit on the potty and he runs to the bathroom screaming "poootttyyyy" So I sit him up there backwards and wait 5 minutes..."no pee pee"....."get down" he says....so I get him down. 10 minutes later "pee pee" "pooootttyyyy" and we try again....still no pee pee but he has "butt bubbles" in the potty (he farted)....so we get down again....5 minutes later I hear "pee pee" "uh oh" and the sound of peeing on my carpet.....at least he sat on the potty right?!! Ah well I know I have a long year ahead of me....

39.4 weeks

3 days til my due date...will I make it?! Who knows....its a full moon so maybe I will go early! Come on gravity! Pull that baby down! hahaha Ah well I guess she should wait til friday when my parents will be here....anyways enjoy the pic of me from today! Yes, I know...I'm HUGE!

Today is....

Wyatt's 2nd birthday!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY WYATT!!!

Mommy loves you!

the tour...sucked!

So Brandon and I went on a tour of the L&D at the hospital today....SOOO not what I was thinking it would be....it was very short and not detailed at all....hello I have questions!! Turns out we labor and deliver in one room then have to transfer to another room for recovery...what happened to staying in 1 room for the whole event?! And when did they come out with that new privacy act law that you can't view the newborns thru the windows?! So we didn't get to see any new babies...like the brochure said we would....oh well....soon enough we'll see our own new baby!

Now...what to name her....?????

Its almost time!!!

Our baby girl will be here soon! Due in 5 days but I have been losing a lot of my mucous plug yesterday and today so she might be here before friday! My parents are supposed to be coming up on friday and she's supposed to wait til then but I dunno....she might come early! Been having irregular contractions though....so we will see! I hope she waits at least 2 more days....I'm having a small party at the park with some friends for Wyatt's b-day tomorrow....met some great girls on Cafemom.com who have kids Wyatt's age....been to a few playgroups and he gets along great with the other kids! Now do I make the cupcakes or buy them from Wal-Mart...hmm....LoL I'm Betty Crocker...what do you think I will do! hahaha

High and tight

I bet all you military readers are thinging I'm going to talk about my hubby's hair cut....but actually I am referring to my cervix! LOLOLOLOL It just dawned on me last night....its up high and shut tight....hence high and tight! hehehehe

p.s. my hubby shaves his head just about bald....

Stirring things up a bit

So I had my Dr appt today....only 50% effaced and still closed up....my cervix was so high up the poor Dr 's hand was practically coming out of my throat! OUCH!!! She decided to stir things up a bit and poke around in there....so we could have a baby any day now! But most likely she will wait til next week to make her arrival....she seems pretty cozy in there....

Welcome to my blog

Ok so I am new at this.....my friend, Averi, had mentioned I should blog so here I am starting a blog....Given that I am due "any day now" this will probably be a weekly thing...once things settle down I'll try to post daily as there are a lot of things the kids do and say that is interesting or funny.
