Live, Laugh, Love'tro

I'm forcing myself to leave me comfort zone of being in control of everything around me including my house work. Husband has been incredibly busy (which I'm thankful for) with website work, photography, and taxes and I've been swamped at work also which leaves little time to clean house. I'd much rather spend the extra time with my sweethearts, and I do.

I think I'll make a schedule for myself of days that I absolutely need to get things done like bathing Chloe and catching up on bills, laundry, etc other than that we've been enjoying our days outside while this Louisiana weather allows it. We grilled yesterday evening and played outside for a while. Unfortunately we missed my sister and brother in law announce the gender of baby number two, which is another BOY btw. So far we're 3 for 3 on my side.. All boy grand babies.. I wonder if I'll have a girl. Hump.

As for now we're loving our little guy!

Today was a great success. We celebrated Cyan's first birthday with a robot themed party at my parents home. Months of planning and in two hours it's done.. But was totally worth it! I'll post pictures once they're uploaded off of the card an I find a home for all of these new gifts.

It's 2:31 pm and I'm rocking my sweet pumpkin Cy pie to sleep for a nap. So many wonderful memories surround the 29th of march for me. It's the day that I labored on, in order to birth my Cyan naturally. It all started at 8 am that day.. We had plans to go looking for a larger car, I was a 41 weeks and two days pregnant, sitting on the sofa, watching tv and about to have breakfast. I got up to go to the restroom which was a usual occurrence this late in the game. My water bag loose, it was showtime!
It's now 2:36 if I remember correctly we were getting settled in to our delivery room. I've been spending all day with Cy remembering how he chose his birthday, I've been very emotional and patient with him today. We were very patient with each other on this day last year.

I could not be more excited about his birthday party on Sunday! Praying for beautiful weather of course. Tomorrow Bret and I are both off with him we're gonna spend the day with him. I'm sure I'll cry :) I always cry. I'm a sucker for feeling. I've got a meeting to attend at 8 at the salon then we'll give him his first real haircut!!!

Today the pieces are all fitting so nicely together.

Time sure has a way of slipping right out from under me. Maybe that's the universes way of teaching me how not to be a control freak! Today was awesome, I spent it with my family. I've relearned recently that family by far trumps friendships. They'll always be true! My mom came up today to help me reorganize the house since we got our floors completed last week. wahoo! It's been sorta nice living in chaos this last week even tho I missed paying two bills because I was so out of my routine! Grr. So today we rearranged, reorganized, and recycled the Lovetro house!

My baby boy will be one in less than a week.. Wow. I've been busy getting ready for his party, robot themed! Although he isn't walking quite yet, Bret and I swear he said good morning last weekend, yesterday I took his diaper off and he stood up to the toilet and pee'd on the floor, and today he signed his first sign "more" this was pertaining to spagetti which by far is his favorite food. He seems to be a huge fan of blueberries, yogurt, applesauce, the brown loaf at outback and trying new things. He's even had sashimi tuna.. Raw.. Tore it up! Last Thursday we also had a little play-date with some other moms from the exceptional birth group I attend. All of the cuties are ONE next week it was so cute to see them smash, play, dissect their cupcakes.

Work has be great! I've been much more creative!

Also, last weekend we met the Easter bunny, celebrated my godson Bryer's 3rd birthday and attended a bridal shower for my lovely sister and law.

March 14 2012

So last night was one of the roughest nights in a while.. Cyan hasn't been sleeping well at all! For probably 3 weeks now he's been up throughout the night crying and fussing. About a week or so so we finally started seeing the top two teeth cut and finally they seem to be out. This is not to say he doesn't have more coming.. Teeth = devil!

The last few nights he hasn't wanted to nurse which is so strange for him, even when he was teething previously and had ear infections he still nursed fine. He has been waking up crying tossing and turning and not wanting to sleep with us either. Last night was the last straw.. It was the hardest thing I've had to do thus far but I'm sure not the hardest thing I'll ever do. He only cried for 20 mins (I may have cried for 30) before he passed out at 3:30am after waking at 12 midnight. I was at the end of my rope frustrated and defeat. There was nothing else I could do, he didn't want me or Bret we have no Idea what he wanted. Hopefully this makes life a bit easier! Tonight I'm focusing on having him go to bed at a decent time
