~baby days~

this is lylas new hair band! i think its pretty cute,

johnny says it looks like a peacock on her head :(

what do you think?

So, this weekend was pretty good. Friday I got off at 3 pm and hung out with Johnny until he left to go on his field trial. Saturday my brother and lyla and I went to the mall to try and find Johnny a carolina shirt (bc we had plans to go to the game on sunday) but I was unsuccessful with that excursion. So we went to my moms and her and my sister played with a Lyla a little bit and then my mom and I went to sams. Which by the way, for anyone who is reading this and you have a baby who drinks with formula, sams is the place to go to by baby formula! I got 3 packs of formula for $41 and I had a $3 off coupon, so i paid $38 for 3 packs. At Wal Mart and other places 1 pack of formula is about $25- so I would have spent $75 at any other place. So I made a savings of $37 dollars! which I think is pretty freaking amazing! ok anyway, then on sunday we slept in and my mom came again to play with lyla while we got ready for the game. We left about 2 to go to Chapel Hill. The game was awesome! by the way, Chapel Hill is just beautiful. I would really love to live there but I just hate the traffic! Plus there are other reasons why I shouldnt move there, but thats besides the point.
ok so to the reason why I named this entry baby days:
Johnny and I woke up to Lyla this morning with a stuffy nose and a cough! Poor Baby! when she got up this morning she was really wet with sweat and she was rather warm! So i took her in a her room and changed her diaper and clothes and checked her temp, it was 99.8! i was like oh boy! but i decided that i might need to check it again just in case the themomter was picking up where she was in her craddle. So after Johnny feed her i check her one more time and it  was 99.6! so i gave her some tylonel and took her to the mother in laws house. I told my mother in law the details and told her to check at the next feeding and to call me if got to 100 today!
HOWEVER! - I also think Lyla is teething! she has really been slobbering the past week or so and every time she gets her hands on something she puts it straight in her mouth! and on top of that she has had some runny diapers as well. So i guess the real baby days have now begun! oh what fun!
on top of lyla being sick, johnny is trying to be sick so i have 2 babies to take care of this week! this is going to be fun!
on top of the 2 sickies, i have a ton of homework to do before my class on wednesday night, which i dont really care for. there is alot of reading and writing! and i dont love either one!
anywho until next time.....

later taters!

OH THE SICK DAYS....

so it has now been one weeks and 3 days of this sickness. i went to the doctor on thursday and i have bronchitis/ sinuitis.... it sucks! so i am on antibiotics and mucinex and tussinex which by the way knocks me out! needless to say johnny has to listen out for lyla if i take cough syrup! however, today i am finally feeling better! i am still having some congestion in my head but, my chest is not hurting anymore thank god!

yesterday i went to the doctor just to have some things checked out and everything was great, EXCEPT for when i got on the scale to weigh.... ummmm lets just say i will now be a very strict diet for the next 6-8 months! i really need to slim down. i was actually depressed when i left the doctor yesterday... and then it didnt help that for dinner we had ribs and mac & chz for dinner... so starting today its major diet time! well minus this morning for breakfast, but only bc i had to take my meds!

well lyla is doing great! she is growing so much!!!! today she is 13 weeks old! and monday she goes back to the doctor for another round of shots :( poor baby.... it makes me cry to see her cry. so friday night i was so tired of being inside from being sick so johnny and i went and got something to eat. right when our food gets to the table, lyla starts crying uncontrolably! it was so bad! tears were just streaming down her face and she was screaming with everything she had- i quickly lost my appeptite. i gave her some gas drops and johnny took her outside and she finally calmed down and went to sleep. i dont know what was wrong with her. i think that it may have been the fact that she drank half her bottle in the car bc she was fussy bc she was hungry. but i am not sure... all i know is that i HATE seeing her cry like that.

so wednesday is my 2nd night of class. all i have to say about this class is that it will challenging. there are only 5 classes for this class but somehow this teacher wants us to write a paper almost everytime we walk in the door. its rediculous! but oh well i have to have it so that i can finish my health care managment program up.

other than all the drama of being sick, lyla is sleeping almost thru the night every night. which is soooo great!
also in march/ april she will be going to have easter/ 6 month pics taken! i am so excited! and i was informed this weekend by my moms husband that they would be paying for those photos! which i am even more excited about! he is so nice and he loves lyla !

well now it is time for me to get back to work.... :( - and not to mention that its cold today which sucks!

Valentines Day!

good morning!
and HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!
today is monday, which we all know i dont really love mondays....but its valentines day and i had a great weekend! some pretty exciting things happened this weekend.
1. on friday i left work at 12! so i went home and cleaned up some.
2. on saturday me and lyla and alex (my brother) went to dock dogs with karla and madison. which by the way i am thinking my dog needs to be in :) that is if i can teach how to stay and how to like the water. last year at the beach she didnt love the water... so i might have to work with her.
3. also on saturday night johnny and i went on a double date with my friends maryanne and bradley. and then we went bowling, which i am terrible at but it was fun!
4. on sunday, we took some furniture to my friend and then alex and i went and hung out with my mom. while were at my moms, lyla was having tummy time and she rolled over for me!!! 3 times!!!! i was soooo proud of her~ and i got to see it first!! which means alot to me. i have really been upset latley bc i dont get to see her during the day so i know i will miss alot of firsts.... so for me to see her roll for the first time was AMAZING! and to top it all off, i got a video of doing it! you can see it at the bottom of the page!

so now here is monday. since it is valentines days, i called my husband and asked him was he going to send me flowers... i hope he got the hint :) so we will see how that goes.
i LOVE valentines day bc i think its pretty amazing when you love someone as much as i love my husband and my baby. i never thought in a million years that it was possible to have so much love for one person. and after all the things we have been thru, i still love him more and more everyday. i still get butterflies when i see him after a long day........ aawww LOVE!

well i guess i should now get back to work.....
happy v-day blog world

here is the link for the video of lyla:

FRIDAY!!

well its friday. enough said!
so my plans for this weekend: saturday late morning me and lyla are going to doc dogs with my friend karla and madison while johnny goes hunting. then at 5pm johnny and i have a double date with 2 friends in greenville at the outback for an early valentines day! and then sunday... well probably go to church and then just chill the rest of the day...
so i have decided that everyday of the week i am going to clean one room in the house. that way my house might stay a little more organized ! its in a mess right now! so i think i am going to try and develop a sytem.
so anywho... baby lyla is doing great! she is def. starting to develop her personality! which is great! she is going to be on pretty girl for sure :)
well this is short.... but i do get off at 12 today so that means i need to get all my work done!
have a safe weekend peeps!

the sleepy days...

hello world,
well its after lunch time and i am sooooo sleepy..... i didnt want to get up this morning! i will be glad when saturday gets here and i might can catch a few naps before mine and johnnys double date! which i am sooo excited about.
today at lunch i went and got me a pair of jean leggings, more like skinny jeans, so that i can wear my new over the knee boots! which i am totally in love with!!!
so other than being sleepy... there is really not much going on.
my brother alex got his license yesterday, so everyone watch out!! and lyla was 3 months old yesterday!

well lyla might be having some pictures taken in march or april... gregg ward in washington has a special for easter with live bunnies!!! lyla will almost be 6 months then so it might be a good time to get her some pics done... so i am kind of excited about that! gregg takes awesome pictures!

well friday is def. my half day at work and im real excited! i might go home and nap for a little bit and then go pick up lyla ...who knows... thats 2 days away....
well this is real short.... but its time to work....
i hope i can remember to go get a check from my mom tonight for school....

ok ttyl world

tuesday-

good morning bloggers.
so lyla def slept all night again last night!!! she has really been an amazing baby!!! so as "they" say (who is they by the way?)- if the first baby is an angel, the next one will be a little devil! or the other way around. and no im not saying im ready for another one... that will for sure be a few years!!!
lylas personality is really beginning to show! i think she is going to be rather outgoing like her mommy! which is a good thing! she is 3 months old today... sure doesnt seem like 3 months ago i was in the hospital waiting on her to make her appearance! but i do have to say that being pregnant was a pretty amazing experience.
anywho- johnny finally got some work this week!!! yay!!! it might only be for one week but hey, thats better than not having any at all!
we also went and signed our wills this morning. we really had a tough time on decided who would take care of lyla if something happened to us.... but all in all i think we made the right decision. if anyone needs there wills or power of attorney or health care poa done, let me know! i know the man u need to see!

on another note, johnny starts back to class tonight and i start next week on wednesdays. i am actually ready to start back to school. this time i will be at mt olive. in feb and march i will just be taking some general courses that i needed and in april will start the health care managment program. i will do that for 36.5 weeks and then i will have my batchelors degree!!! which i am really exciting about. and then by the time i get done johnny should have his batchelors as well! so we are getting excited!

on a second note- i was driving this morning and i had a thought. well i dont know if u call it a thought bc i have thought it before but fo the lack of a better word or a word that im not sure about, it was a thought. you know sometimes i hate being in the same routine EVERY SINGLE DAY! i am sure many of you feel the same way... i have often times thought this but now i realize that with lyla and me and john going back to school, thats about to change! which i think is great! i love to be busy and do this and do that...

speaking of being busy, im pretty sure i want lyla to be in pageants! so when she is about 12 months old we will start putting her in some just to see if we like it. and then if she tells me she hates it, we will stop. but i am SUPER excited about it!!!

well i really need to get to work. i have typed enough.
later taters!!

february 7, 2011

Good morning world!
today is monday. i hate mondays.... they always seem to drag ! anywho. had a pretty good weekend. didnt really do much. lets see friday i left work and went and picked up lyla from my moms house. thankfully she didnt get held the whole day! which is a miracle seeing how my mom and my grandma were there!!! we then went home and i cook hamburger steak and gravy, mashed potatoes, and green beans! it was sooooo yummy!!! then my friend lacey came over and we watched private practice and greys anatomy. that was it for  friday. on saturday it sucked outside! so we stayed in and watched movies all day while johnny went with his friend to town. while they were in greenville they pick up my brother so he could stay with us. that night we went over to the in law and ate dinner. sunday we went to church and afterwords just hung out with my mom for a little bit.
i actually watched a little bit of the super bowl but it was only to watch the half time show. which i must say was pretty good, other than a few bad notes that someone was hitting- it was pretty neat!

so anywho. my brother finally went out with this senoir girl - not sure how that went bc she brought her friend with her..... i know he felt like a third wheel. so we will see how that went later

my sister is still going to try to have another baby. she goes to the doctor this week....... if you know me you know how i feel about this subject - (and thats enough said)

so i am pretty excited for this weekend. johnny and i are having a double date for valentines days. it will be exciting- i hope....

so to all my people who are reading, i really want to do something for mine and johnnys anniversary- i need some ideas....... does anyone have any?

until next time.
later world

February 4,2011

well good morning blog world.
so i woke up this morning and it was raining.... so i just really wanted to crawl back in the bed and sleep but that didnt happen, obviously. Lyla slept pretty good last night, until she woke up at 4:00 this morning!! but she went to sleep about 10 so.... i guess that was pretty good. i took over johnnys shift last night. he has been getting up with her every night so i decided to give him a break and let him sleep. i am such a great wife :)
 anywho, i def. locked myself out the house last night... i mean what a genius!! i guess this means i need to spare key somewhere :)
well thankfully, today if friday.... which means the weekend
tonight i will be cooking and then about 8 my friend is coming over and we will watch greys anatomy and private practice, which i dvr-ed last night bc i was to sleepy to watch it!
well, i left lyla with my mom this morning... i hope she will stick with the schedule i have had her on. and i really hope since my grandma is going over there too, that they dont hold her all day long... the last time this happened it took me 2 days to get lyla over the "lap colic"- yes lap colic... it does exist!!
lyla will def. be 3 months old in a couple of weeks. i can not believe it... time is really passing by fast.

well i was going to go but... i was wondering what kind of exciting scandalous information i could put up here... and then it hit me!
my sister has decided to try for another baby..... exciting... but questionable. i am happy for her but i just hope everything works out how its supposed to....
other than that my brother broke up with his little girlfriend and now wants to ask out a senior at his school... so he is trying be a little pimp! he cracks me up--

ok for serious now i have to go bc im at work...
so ttyl blog world

first time blogging-

Hello blogging world,
so this is def. the first time i have ever blogged. but i think i will like it. and now people (like you who are reading this) can be nosey and read about my life.... which i have to warn can be borning at times.
today was not a special day at. i woke up got ready, took lyla to the in laws, and came to work. now i am just bored and that why i started this blog. now its almost time to go home. 30 more minutes to go....
i guess i will go home and probably cook speghti.. and then of course thursday night is my favorite night to watch tv bc my 2 favorite shows come on: GREYS ANATOMY & PRIVATE PRACTICE. thank god they are actually new this week.
anywho. i really hope lyla will sleep all night long again. if i can keep her on a schedule everyday i think this whole sleeping all night thing will work. that is if i can get everyone to follow the schedule! so we will see about that....
anywho. time to go for me...
