He's not 2 yet!!!!

He's not 2 yet!!!! That's all I have to say!!!! Well not really...  So Monkey is hitting the dreaded age of 2 with all the terribleness included. Today of course my patience and consistency has been lower than normal due to unexpected back pain (thanking the wonderful Colorado weather for that). He has decided that listening to Mommy is optional and each day Hubby is gone he gets worse and worse whether we Skype or talk on the phone. He is now understanding that Daddy is away and Mommy is running close to empty on all emotions except overwhelmed. I think part of the problem was last week I was gone a lot. Between my class, prayer group, and Heritage Makers Monkey was away from me I think for 5 nights last week and Sunday morning while I went to church. I'm so grateful that my parents love having Monkey and are willing to take him because if not I wouldn't be able to do everything I've been doing because I couldn't afford to pay a babysitter. I think my new goal (after my trip of course) is to make sure that Monkey only has a sitter 2 times a week not including church time. This will allow me to be more consistent and maybe slow down or mellow out those terrible 2's that are starting even though he's not even 2 yet!!! Yes I know I keep repeating myself but seriously couldn't he just let me enjoy these last few weeks before he started?

Media Monday: How it affects my child

Media is neither good or bad. Last week I talked about media in our marriage and a little bit about our family and media but today is all about Rex and media. Rex loves cartoons! Right now he happens to be watching Veggie Tales while eating lunch. This is not a normal thing at all. I can't remember the last time he was eating while watching TV. Today we had a crazy time and he asked to watch a movie and I didn't have a problem with it. Plus it's Veggie Tales.  We have a limit (during mommy in charge time) that he is only allowed to watch one movie/TV show each day and some days we don't watch anything. When daddy gets home things change and the TV is on within minutes of being home. Rex normally doesn't care that the TV is on because of our daily activities. He plays or helps me cook unless daddy is watching adult cartoons then he is more interested.  This past winter I found us watching more TV than I planned ever to let my children watch. So once it start...

Baby Bumpdate: Week 35

35 Weeks! That means only 5 left!!!! Holy cow!!! I think I'm starting to freak out just a little!!! How far along? 35 Weeks! Yea! How big is baby?  He's about 18 inches and just over 5 pounds. Weight gain? I gained a pound last week. Maternity Clothes?  Of course. I'm living in tanks right now because of the heat. Just wish I had more shorts to wear. Stretch Marks?  Nothing new. Just the ones from before and Monkey. Sleep? With this cold I'm not sleeping much. I'm getting a little better and able to sleep about 4 to 6 hours at night and then at nap time I'm able to get 1 or 2 more hours of sleep. However, I'm still exhausted especially because of the heat. It just drains all my energy. Even when I'm sitting in the shade under a fan. Of course it's only June so I'm not sure how this heat thing will effect me in July :/ Best Moment this Week?  Monkey kissing my belly before he went down for a nap. It was so cute. He ...

Bikini Body Mommy Challenge Update!

So we are starting week 8 (I think). It's been a few weeks since I have officially sat down and updated on how I have been doing. Week 6 I did pretty good. The 4 am workouts were starting to wear on me so I decided to try and get a workout in after my hubby left for work but before the kids got up. Some days that went OK and other days not so well. I did however get several workouts in with the boys awake and they went pretty well. Monkey tired to join in with me and it was quite fun to watch. Of course he couldn't keep up with the workouts and took many breaks but it was fun to have him involved. This week I plan to do cardio days at 4 am in the gym because they are easier than trying to complete in the house. But for the non-cardio days I will do them in the house in the morning. That way I'm not completely exhausted everyday. Now for week 7. I have no idea even what the workouts were for last week. I didn't even look once! I have good reason though. My hubby h...
