Goodies

So today during my lunch break...which I desperately needed. Too much going on at work. Too much frustrating things. At least I get to leave in 30 minutes. Anywho. Where did I go on my lunch break....

CONSIGNMENT SALE

I went last year and was amazed....This year just the same. I missed the spring/summer sale bc it was the weekend after Aiden was born. Today was the fall/winter sale. I'm going to do it with Aiden's clothes if we don't have another boy and no one else I know is having a boy.

I got Aiden the CUTEST outfits for cheap! There is NO point to buying babies brand new clothes because
1.They outgrow them in NO time.
2.They get dirty in NO time.

I'll have to post pictures later but here's what I got for $40:
1.Long John Set
2.Dressy Outfit (long sleeve collared shirt, sweater vest, and khakis)-new w/ tags
3.Sweater
4.Halloween-Pumpkin sleeper -new w/ tags
5.Navy Jon Jon with Red trim -new w/ tags
6.Christmas Smocked Jon Jon -new w/ tags
7.Christmas Outfit (long sleeve t-shirt and overalls)
8.Navy Corduroy Overalls

They had sooooo many Smocked Jon Jons/Bubbles, but I didn't want to overload his wardrobe with things he can't play in. I like this sale because everything is practically new with tags. They only accept items that are in prime condition.

Most everything I bought was 12/18 month...why because at the doctor we found out he's 23 pounds!! Yah! He didn't gain any. All this rolling is helping him lose that chunk. lol However, he's still big enough for 12 month clothes. Aiden's already getting hard to shop for. LONG torso. Shorter legs than a 12month old outfit. Until he gets into manly separate clothes these all-in-one outfits stink.

Sick Baby

I have one sick baby. His very 1st viral infection! :-(

It started on our anniversary night about 10pm and I couldn't get him to sleep until about 3am. I was having to rock him and soon as I would stop/fall asleep he would wake up crying.

So mommy was VERY tired at work the next day equaling me not being so nice and jumping on people for things I normally wouldn't let bother me. Oops, but my wires were maxed out. Their fault though I explained to them 2 weeks ago what I wanted and they didn't have ANYTHING prepared for the meeting. How much hand holding does one person have to do.....luckily my boss was there and kinda harped to the party so I wasn't the only bad guy.

So after several meetings I needed to leave to take baby boy to the doctor. His fever was up to 101. AH! I got a prescription for butt creme so he won't get a yeast infection, because he has diarrhea. LOVELY changing diapers now :-) I thought we were over the gross diapers...But all night and this morning his fever has been dropping back to 99 today. YAH!! However, the doctor said 3-4 more days then he should be back to normal.

Funny thing the doc was like well thats great hes still wanting his bottle, bc most babies do not when they get sick. Then they get dehydrated. I was like "haha you should know by looking at him he NEVER turns down the bottle! lol I've got myself a healthy chunky baby."

Side Note: Last night I went and saw the Sound of Music with Regina and MeeMaw. That was fun! Such a great movie, but soooo cold in the Orpheum. Tonight is dinner at Wes' parents to celebrate our anniversary and MeeMaw's bday. Double the fun!

Anniversary

Today a year ago I married the best man in the whole world!

I couldn't have asked for a better hubby and father to our amazing son.

It's been one hectic year with the pregnancy, birth of Aiden, buying our 1st home, remodeling our home, etc...but I wouldn't change any of it. It's only made us a stronger couple. Truly blessed!

My awesome mother-in-law got us tickets to go see Wicked in October for our anniversary!! YAH!! I've always wanted to go. I've read the books, and LOVE them. Some of my friends have gone in the past and said it was amazing, so I'm really looking forward to it. I have such an amazing family!

Speaking of family, my mom is moving to Pensacola this weekend! I hope she enjoys the new school she's teaching at, and my dad hurries up on finishing the projects on the B'ham house so he can join her down there. After they sell that house it's going to be weird going to a different house for holidays. That's been home for like 16 years. Maybe next summer I can take a week off from work to go down to the beach to see all the fam. Aiden will be like 1 1/2 then, so it should be fun.

Aiden Update: I read to Aiden every night, and he is REALLY enjoying it now. He smiles, and looks at the pages then at mommy...sometimes wanting to eat the pages :-) Well last night in our book session I was reading Wes' favorite book "Ernie's Big Mess" and OMG did Aiden love it! I've never heard him laugh so hard. It was freakin ADORABLE! It made me laugh so hard I could barely read. So there we are both laughing our butts off. Priceless. Love that kid so much!

Fabrics

I am counting down the days till Friday!! Why you might ask. It's payday! I really enjoy getting paid once a month. Makes it easy to budget. I am really excited because I get my monthly allowance. YAH! :-) So what to do with my $100.....buy fabric of course!

I have all these projects going through my head:
*Boppy Pillow cover
*Crib sheet
*Pants
*Hooded Towel
*Pack n Play sheet
*Blanket
The list goes on and on.....

Below is some of the fabrics I've picked out. Let the sewing projects begin.
