Day 18: Something you regret
Wednesday, February 9 2011 at 9:29 pm
|
|
I try not to live with regrets. I know everyone says that, but I really do. Looking back, there are few things I would have done differently. I should have gone to Wyatt's service, but I was scared of death. Little did I know what was to come. I should have been at Mrs Foster and Mrs Cassibo's services, but I didn't know about them in time. I shouldn't have cheated on Jake and put us through what I did. This one doesn't have an "It wasn't my fault" justification to follow. I regret causing him pain, even if we were only 17. It was still very real. If I had thought about someone other than myself for five minutes, I could have saved one amazing relationship and friendship. As for the other relationship lost from that scenario...I'm sad that we don't have it anymore. I really am. I never pictured my life without her in it. Do I regret anything between she and I? Negative. Perhaps we were both a little more harsh than what we should have been, but I don't take back anything I said or did. I saw a whole other side to her that I do not want in my life. It's unfortunate, but what happened is clearly for the best.

Day 16: Dream house
Wednesday, February 9 2011 at 8:48 pm
|
|
We will make our dream house a reality one day. We're building and already have the property. We'll pay this off and rent out both sides as investment property, then get back out to the boonies where we belong. Location is almost more important than the house itself. It won't be anything big or fancy, but it'll be ours. Enough bedrooms for each of us + one extra. Two bathrooms. Wrap-around porch. Steel roof. Wood bungalo, probably ranch style. Almost like a little cabin in the woods. Nice and cozy.

Day 15: Bible Verse

Today will be another day of getting ahead in this blog challenge, since I won't be on again til Tues. Here goes Day 15:
I needed Google's help on this one and liked this: 2 Kings 4:30 But the child's mother said, "As surely as the Lord lives and as you live, I will not leave you." So he got up and followed her.
I think this sums up one of my golden rules I hope to show my daughter. I will always, always, always be there for her. Both her Daddy and I, no matter what happens. We'll all make mistakes and get hurt sometimes, but I hope she knows that we would never leave her, turn our backs on her, or let her down.

Dear Addison: 3 mos
Monday, February 7 2011 at 8:03 pm
|

You're over three months old, baby girl! Can you believe it? I used to laugh at moms, ALWAYS talking about how quickly babies grow...Now here I am. I just can't believe it! It's like you're doing something new every day, and I can't keep up! You're growing out of clothes every week, making new noises, and moving in new ways.
In the past two weeks, you've learned how to grab hold of things (and not let go) and play with toys. Daddy's Aunt Hope, cousins Cherise and Patricia, and Patricia's boyfriend Danny all came to visit you at the end of January. They brought you a new outfit and a squishy book. You grabbed hold of that book and haven't let it go since. Before then, I'd never seen you grab anything! Then days later, you were laying down on your play mat and reached up for your toys, and made them play music. It's amazing!
You smile ALL.THE.TIME. and I've heard you giggle four times, though it's hard to get it out of you at this point. It'll come in time. At your last doctor's appointment you were 11 lbs 5 oz and 57 cm long, but that was a month ago now so I'm sure you're much bigger. You got your needles then, which was my worst experience with you yet. The next ones are in March and I'm hoping I can change it to a Friday so Daddy can come with me. I want him to be traumatized too. It's awful!
You're mostly wearing 0-3 mos clothes still because you're pretty long and skinny, but you have some 3-6 things that fit now too. I love that you can fit into "real" pants now, so you're not always wearing sleepers or a onesie with footed pants. You can wear little outfits. I even splurged and bought you two cheap little head bands recently because you didn't have any, and I haven't bought you much. Next on the list is something for St Patricks Day, a bathing suit, and eventually and Easter dress. We've had SO many clothes passed down for you and bought as gifts for you that I haven't had to buy anything, really, so it's nice to shop once in a while for that something special, just from Mommy.
What else...You're still not a huge fan of tummy time, unfortunately, but it's much better than it was. The new play mat makes a big difference. You like to see yourself in the mirror, so I make sure you can do that, and lay in front of it on the floor, to give you a focal point to focus on. You've been sleeping from 11 pm - 7 am pretty regularly since December. You have your crazy nights of both bad and good, but that's the norm 9/10 nights. Hopefully it'll only get better from here!
You love being held and still only really cry when you're hungry. I'm starting to pump now in an attempt to get a stash of milk for bottles. I've only tried one (4 oz) bottle so far and it did not go well at all, but it'll get better with practise. You sat there for an HOUR with a big smile on your face licking the bottle. Licking it, not sucking the milk down. You just had no idea what to do with it. Once you figured out what to do the milk was gone in about three seconds flat, but it took a long time to get there. I'm hoping to pump every day to get a good stash to make it easier on everyone if we want to go out shopping, or have you spend some time alone with the grandparents etc.
You fall asleep in the truck and the stroller, although you're usually wide awake when I take you shopping in Belleville. I think it's all the noises and lights that you're otherwise not used to. It's pretty quiet here and at the Grandparents houses. You're a people watcher, and like to know what's going on around you. When people are over and someone else is holding you, you always seem to keep an eye on me. You get grumpy when you can't see me, but everything is instantly back to normal when I come back into view.
Everyone describes you as a really happy, laid back baby. That's how Daddy was too. It's hard to say if I would have been that way because I was really sick when I was this young, and I had an older brother to contend with. You've been meeting a lot of new people lately and I'm trying to take you new places once in a while. Slowly, but surely, we're all getting the hang of this. Daddy and I love every second with you. We're having so much fun and learning so much about each other and ourselves when we're together.
I love you!
- Mommy xo
