It's the unexpected events that have happened in our lives that have gotten us to where we are today. Whether or not they make a person stronger and more open to what life throws at them is up to that specific person. I want to share some of the events that happen, or have already happened in our lives. Welcome to our journey ;)....

Busy, Busy, Busy

I know it's been a while since I have posted something new... things have been SOOO busy! This past weekend me and Halle went shopping with my sister and niece and let me tell you it was a rough trip! I don't know if i will ever go shopping again. It's to much trouble getting in and out of the car with the carseat and stroller and for her to only ride in her stroller for like 2 minutes is a waste. She screamed every time I put her in it so I had to carry her most of the time, which defeated the purpose of me trying to find some summer clothes for myself since I am moving close to the beach. My sister couldn't take her b/c my niece was pretty much acting crazy too. We both just laughed and said why on earth did we think this was going to be easy. Oh and Halle kept throwing up every time I turned around... my poor baby I felt so sorry for dragging her out with me in the heat. She was getting to hot and that didn't mix well with having milk in her belly, yuck! But like I said I went shopping for me and ended up getting her more than I got myself (welcome to motherhood huh). I got her like 3 bathing suits and 4 hats and 2 pairs of shoes she will probably only wear once. I figured she would need a couple of bathing suits for if me and Rusty ever decide to take her swimming or go to the beach for a day or something like that. I told him that I got her A bathing suit b/c I knew he would complain about me wasting money and he did. He said why does she need a bathing suit and I said it's summer time and we mite wanna get her (and abbagail... i had to throw abby's name in there b/c she's like our other kid) a kiddie pool or something or take her to the beach or when we go visit Sara and Jason they have a pool there and he said oh yeah. See you just have to work with him a little to get him to see that there are somethings that are worth spending money on. Anyway, I have been doing nothing but packing the past 2 days and i didn't think there was as much stuff as there is. I mean Halle's things take up a whole room. I rented a 5x8 uhaul trailor and I hope that it's going to be big enough to fit everything in. On another note, Halle is teething and its been horrible. She's been so pitiful and the drool just keeps on coming. Her little chin is so raw from where I have been wiping it so much. She constantly sucks on her hand like its a chicken nugget or something. She won't suck on her teething ring much, she would rather have that hand. I wake up during the night b/c I will hear her just sucking away. I tried to sneak her pacifier in her mouth one night to see if she would use that instead and she didn't so I just let her do what she likes best. I put some baby orajel on her little gums and she hated it and screamed and cried and I felt like a bad mother for giving it to her. I just wanted to help her gums not to hurt anymore. Hopefully it will get better for her soon! Well still no lead on a job for me. I called the Human Resources Department today and the lady said that she would send out an email and let them know that I called asking about my application. I didn't think it would be hard finding a job with there being such a need for nurses. Maybe it's b/c I'm only wanting a dayshift position. I want to be on the same schedule as Rusty and Halle, plus with working nightshift I would never get to see my baby girl. I'm sure something will turn up soon (everyone please pray that it does!). That's about all that's going on with us for now... I better get back to packing while she's sleeping!

  1. I know what you mean about shopping-it is so tough with a baby and all of their requirements! I swear I have a car load of stuff just for a trip out of the house for an hour!
    I think Gabby is teething too because she is drooling all over the place and wants to suck on her wrist like she is starving. I can't wait to get those two girls together so they can drive us crazy together. I mentioned to Rusty about us getting rooms together for Brayden's birthday. He said he would let me know this week so we can book it. Also, let me know if you need any help getting things done in Halle's new room or anything because Hayden will be finished with school in three weeks and we can take a road trip there!! Love you!
