Baby Einstein

This is gonna have to be short and sweet, because as usual, I am nauseous.  Thankfully everything I have eaten today has stayed down so far, but that could change at any second.  Scrolling around on the computer, reading emails, or watching a show makes me feel even worse.  Not that I have much time for that anyway- my wild, wild baby keeps me running.  He's into EVERY thing.  I'm trying to distract him with a Baby Einstein video, but that lasted about 20 seconds.  I have probably told him, "No no" about 50 times in the last 10 minutes.  I kid you not.  He doesn't seem to be getting it either.  I'm exhausted.  He is SUCH a boy and I'm so entertained by him.

For instance, I just moved him into his jumper swing and he is jumping up and down while swinging in a wide circle.  He has the biggest grin on his face and he just makes me crack up laughing.  What a joy!  I had been telling Chuck that Jase will kiss me when I say, "Kisses for Mama!"  Of course whenever I say, "Watch this!" Jase gives me the brush off.  But last night, Chuck FINALLY got to see Jase kiss me on command.  It melted my heart.  I tell you what, Jase is crazy about his Papa.  I feel like the most boring, lame Mama whenever Chuck is around.  Those two are so wild together, and that's fine with me.

I've been working on a special surprise for Chuck's birthday (tomorrow).  I'm pretty excited!  He could care less about his birthday, but I think I get more excited for his bday than my own.

In other news, it looks like we're going to have to move homes AGAIN.  This will be 4 homes in 3 years.  I think I will probably have a nervous break down.  I told Chuck if we move into another rental I'm not even going to unpack- I'll just leave it all in boxes because inevitably we'll have to move again.  Oh how I despise packing and unpacking.  Especially while chasing a 10 month old, and throwing up in between boxes.

Here's hoping for a long afternoon nap time!

YES! Love it. :-) Sucks when you're trying to pack, and when you're feeling sick, but it's fun to see them explore.

SOLD

It seems as if the unexpected, most shocking events that happen in life come during the mundane moments. 6 weeks ago our little family was sitting around the dinner table. It was no different than any other typical dinner with 2 preschoolers. Chips, salsa, taco sauce, and beef were flying around the table, drinks were spilling, and siblings were screaming at each other. Nothing unusual. Chuck and I began catching up on our days. He’s usually very easy to read, but this particular night, I had not sensed anything out of the ordinary. Halfway through dinner, he looked me straight in the face and said, “I lost my job.” The chaos around me faded into the background, a buzz began sounding in my ears, and my body began tingling from head to toe. I stared into Chuck’s face as the room around him became blurry. At first the shock was my comfort. Numbness took over my ability to feel. The shock wore off at 2:37 that morning. I was jolted out of a sound sleep, the pain so immens...

One Name

Jase was seven months old. The number was so high on the thermometer the nurse advised me to swiftly get him out of his car seat and strip his clothes off. We then moved to a back room where I waited for the doctor. The room was warm. Stuffy. The air felt thick with heat. I wished there was a window to be opened. The stale room needed fresh air. Pricks of sweat started to itch my back. (Minutes before his first seizure.) When the doctor finally appeared, I gave the rundown of Jase’s symptoms. She carefully examined him as he laid atop the white, crackly paper on the table. Everything seemed to check out. As she walked back to her desk, something frightened me about the way Jase looked. He was still lying on his back. His eyes were open, but the life inside him seemed gone . His eyes didn’t move, they just stared off into the distance. His chest moved up and down with short breaths. His arms and legs were limp.   Everything seemed to slow down to an other worldly pac...

My Baby Girl

A couple weeks ago my Aunt Keren and Grandma came out East, stayed with us, and then we met up with my Mom's side of the family for my cousin's wedding in NJ.  After the fun wedding festivities and a few days at the beach, they came back to my parent's.  One of the nights we had a fire bowl, and sat outside talking for awhile.  Grandma was really missing her pup, so she scooped Jovie up.  That night she wanted nothing to do with sitting on my lap, but she cozied right up with Gram.  It was super precious.  I love this picture of the two of them together. Right now Jovie is actually sick and it breaks my heart.  I get so worried about her, which I know seems goofy because "she's just a dog".  But she's my baby girl and I hate seeing her lethargic, and puking.  The other bummer is that the vet is expensive, so we're trying to take the cheapest route, and are praying she gets better within the next 48 hours.  Poor little thing.  Th...
