Dirty Thirties.

This year is the year that most of my friends (and myself) are all turning 30.  This, of course, makes for a great excuse to act like you're turning 21 again have a FUN night out!  One of my best friends and roommate from Baylor turned 30 on Friday.  She and her mister live in Waco and he arranged a weekend in Dallas to celebrate with all her friends.  Kim is from California and her best friend since high school (and another one of my best friends from Baylor as well) led Kim to believe that she wouldn't be able to be here for her 30th.  Unbeknowst to Kim, I was picking Megan up from the airport on Friday and surprising her in Kim's hotel room when she arrived.  C was such a good sport and rode around with two crazy girls all day while we lunched, shopped, picked up decorating supplies and set everything up in the hotel room.  We decided the best idea was to hide on the balcony when Kim and Brady got to the room and then Brady would lead Kim out onto the balcony where we'd suprise her.  Now, up until this point C had been a champ.  Eating on the go, having his diapers changed in the backseat of my car, being shuffled in and out of his carseat, the whole nine yards.  But of course, the MINUTE we go outside and actually NEED to be quiet, the little man turns into a fussy pants.  And won't stop no matter what tricks I try.  So Kim and Brady come in the room and hear crying coming from the balcony so Brady leads Kim there as quick as he can.  As soon as Kim comes out she immediately sees me to her right along with C and is super excited and surprised.  I then pointed across from me, to Kim's left and as soon as she saw Megs she went balistic.  It was the cutest, most adorable surprise I've ever been a part of.  Of course I didn't get a picture of that BUT I sure did get some of our Friday night out.  I have to give the Mister some quick props because he totally took baby duty and let me and my MOH stay and take a cab home so we could stay out with our friends we never see longer.  I came home to a happy, sleeping baby.  Thanks sugar, you are the BEST!

It was SUCH a fun night.  All I have to say is, I MISS YOU GIRLS!!!  Happy dirty thirty Kim!!!

C-Diddy is a Mack-Daddy ...

Well, at least he's going to be.  This week C had two of his future girlfriends make their grand entrance into the world.

and Hailey Brynn, 2/24/2011

Welcome to the world sweet girls.  Caleb can't WAIT to go on playDATES with you  :0)

Love.

I ordered this in December from a little boutique near my in-laws and it just came in this week.  I'm. in. love.

I love that this little man will be represented on my wrist along with his daddy.



Fun Ideas ...

When C was born one of my mom's best friends bought a year subscription to Disney's Family Fun magazine.

The PERFECT gift for this Disney-lovin' momma!  Although a lot of the ideas in the magazine are for older kiddos, don't you think I won't be saving every one for future fun crafty things to do with little man when he's old enough.

For example, I definately see this one coming into play in my future ...

And if we have a little girl, I JUST MAY use this idea to decorate her nursery ...

And shoot, I just might make these for myself TODAY.  Just kidding Coach Oscar, I know these are diet-friendly.

I hope some of you that have older kiddos are able to steal some of these ideas and try them this week!  If you do, let me know how they turn out!!!

Swing High, Swing Low ...

Sweet baby boy ...



Don't you wish they made those in grown up sizes?  I sure do!

What You're in For ...

So I realized today that a ton, a TON, of people I know have either just had, are about to have or have just found out that they're going to have a baby.  People I know in real life and people I know in the blog world.  I also realized that a lot of people have NO idea (I know I sure as heck didn't) about what they're "in for".  When you first find out you're pregnant you fantasize about what you'll name your little love, whether it is a boy or girl love, how you'll decorate the love's nursery and all the darling things you'll dress your love in.  What you DON'T know (or aren't prepared for) is what you're actually "in for".  And how trivial, although fun, that stuff actually is.  So here goes.

First and foremost, love.  LOVE.  You have no idea how much you can love something.  And at the same time, you have NO idea how much worry IMMEDIATELY attacks you like a ton of bricks.  You will worry about everything.  To the point that it will make you naseous and physically feel sick.  I deal with this on a DAILY basis and DAILY I have to say "Lord, he is YOURS.  You have intrusted us with this precious little gift, to raise him and nurture him.  To encourage him and let him know he can do and be anything and everything that he wants but in the end, he is YOURS and I trust You.  I trust You and Your promises to me and I trust YOU with him."  And let me tell you ladies that ain't easy.  But you have to.  HAVE TO.  Or it will (and I know from experience) literally eat. you. alive.  And that's exactly what the devil wants, for it to steal all your joy and the amazing time that you have for a moment while they're in this precious phase of baby-hood.  So don't let him.  I fight every day to not let him.

Second, exhaustion.  At first mainly.  Physically, emotionally, spiritually.  You will struggle with exhaustion in every way possible.  Good news is the physical one gets better.  After the first few months of struggling with "OMG I love this little angel so much but if he doesn't go to sleep RIGHT now I think I might lose my mind!" you one day look up and go "OMG he is SLEEPING.  And sleeping well!  Is this a joke?  Where's the hidden camera?"  And the emotional and spiritual ones get better too, but those you have to take an active role in working on.  Which plays into what I talked about above.

Third, advice.  From everyone.  Everywhere.  All the time.  This can be a great thing, don't get me wrong.  When. you. ask. for it.  But when people feel the need to tell you "you aren't feeding them enough" or "you're feeding him too much" or "he should be in his bed already" or "he's not sleeping 12 hours?"  IGNORE IT.  Especially with breastfeeding.  If it works for you, GREAT, but if it doesn't DO NOT STRESS ABOUT IT.  People will make you feel like you are feeding your child knives if you decide to go to formula.  It's absolutely ridiculous.  It's not for everyone.  Yes, it's better for the baby and in all honesty if it worked for me I'd still be doing it right now.  But if your supply gets low or you just CAN'T get them to latch after trying everything that EVERYONE has suggested (and I mean everyone), it is going to be okay.  Formula is not liquid poison.  You are their mother.  Forgive me if I'm wrong but you carried and birthed your baby, correct?  So I'll go with the fact that you know what's best for them.  End of story.

Fourth, you have to smile.  Smile when you're exhausted.  Smile when they're being adorable.  Smile when you have NO IDEA WHAT YOU'RE DOING.  Shoot, even smile when you've tried everything you can think possible to make them stop fussing and they won't.  Because it will be gone in a flash.  And they'll be 16, asking if they can borrow your car and you'll give anything to be holding them trying to soothe them from crying.

Fifth, throw your sense of style out the window.  Because even if you do have time to think about making yourself look presentable, you'll spend it making ridiculous faces and voices at your little love and then it will be time to feed, change, fill-in-the-blank, them again.  Maybe give yourself one night.  One night when you know you'll have a sitter or are going out with your mister, to make yourself presentable.  Otherwise?  Invest in some really cute workout/comfy clothes gear and hats (you'll FO SHO not have time to wash, dry and heaven forbid, STRAIGHTEN your hair).   Because it's all you'll wear.  And you'll love it.

Beyond that, take it day by day.  And enjoy it.  I know I'm only about 4 months in and NO EXPERT WHATSOEVER, but this is my experience with my little love.  And I'm lovin' every minute.

Old School Survey.

I was thinking there are a lot of you that are new readers and probably don't know much about me except the fact that I'm a new mommy to the cutest little man EVER (yes, I know I'm biased) and that I live in Texas.  SO, I decided to go old school this TT.  Does everyone remember those quizzes people would post on myspace or forward in emails?  Well I found one online and decided I'd use it as a little "get to know you".  Please feel free to steal it and post your answers on your own blog.

Current Location?  Samesies.


Hometown?  Yet again.  Same.  Y'all are getting bored aren't you?  I know I kinda am ...

Favorite physical feature on yourself?  Oh geez.  Don't ask that of a woman that just had a baby.


Your favorite pizza toppings?  Now THAT'S one to ask of a woman that just had a baby.  Grilled chicken, mushrooms & onions.  But really, I'll eat pizza with just about anything on it.  Except for anchovies.  Why would you ever put anything that still has eyes on a pizza.

Do you sing?  I do, but I shouldn't.  My poor son.


Do you want to get married?  Not again, no.


Do you get along with your parents?  Absolutely.


Do you go to church?  Not as much lately.  We are avoiding the germ infested nursery like the plague for awhile.


Do you want children?  That should be obvious.


Do you drink?  Yup.


Do you like to travel by plane?  Sure do.  These one word answer questions are BOR-ING.


Do you still watch cartoons on Saturday morning?  Def not.  Although I know in a few years that will change.  If only we could back to the days of Muppet Babies and Pee Wee Herman (yes, I know he's weird but I LOVED this as a kid!)


Do you have a teddy bear?  Yep!  He's 3 1/2 months old :-)


Do you like thunderstorms?  Only if I'm home in my jammies.  When I'm not, no.

Have you ever been with someone of the same sex?  You mean like to lunch or shopping?  Of course! 


Have you ever get so drunk you don't remember the entire night?  I hate to say yes, but it was in college.  That's a valid excuse right?


Have you ever cried for no reason?  I'm a woman.  Yes.


Have you ever cut your own hair?  I've had the urge but resisted.  I've seen the results of other's hair cutting escapades.


Have you ever skipped school?  Again, in college.  But not too often because Baylor had an attendance policy.  Dang Baptist school.


Have you ever bungee jumped?  No.  I leave the crazy daredevil stunts to my dad.


Have you ever punched someone?  Actually no.  But that doesn't mean I have wanted to ...


Have you ever been arrested?  Nope.  I've gotten 3 tickets in my life.  That's my brush with the law.


Have you ever broken into someone's house?  Goodness no.  Is this the hoodlum quiz I'm taking?


Have you ever participated in a crime without getting caught?  Does TP'ing someone's house count?


SOMETHING A LITTLE MORE MATURE

A secret that you wouldn't mind everyone knowing?  Well then it wouldn't be a secret anymore now would it?


How many joints pop when you get out of bed in the morning?  If you know the answer to this question you are FAR too awake when you get out of bed. 


What is the biggest amount of money you have made from a yard sale?  Is this the same thing as a garage sale?  I made $350 once! 


What do you get every time you go into a Wal-Mart?  Germs.  Can I get a amen?

Who from high school would you like to run into?  Facebook makes me "run into" most of them daily.


Worst relationship mistake that you wish you could take back?  None.  I had pretty good relationship experiences.


If you could get away with it, who would you kill?  What a TERRIBLE question!  Have you read the 10 Commandments survey?


What famous person dead or alive would you like to have dinner with?  Jennifer Aniston.  I H-E-A-R-T her. 


How do you want to die?  Peacefully.  In my sleep would be great.


What do you want to achieve in life?  To be a picture of God's love for me to other people.  As well as a wonderful mother and wife.


How many jobs have you had?  You don't want to know.  I think I'm at 7 after I graduated college?


At this point in life, would you rather start a new career or relationship?  Neither.  I'm loving being a stay at home mom and am committed to the Mister "til death do us part".


Number of drugs you have taken?  They'd all be perscription.  And I have no idea.

Okay this just might be the most boring thing I've ever done.  But it took me FOREVER so I'm posting it anyway.  I'm not sure this has let you "get to know me" any better, but hopefully you were amused by some of the answers!  Of course I can't end a post without a picture of my little man.  Here's one of him sleeping on mommy ...

Happy Wednesday everyone!!!

My Funny Valentine!

Happy Valentine's Day from my little man.

I came home to these beauties from the Mister, C and Koda bear ...

I sure do love my boys.

Weight Loss Update ...

Well, I told y'all I'd update you on this a long time ago but have kept forgetting to.  Scratch that, I was mad (Read:  pouting ridiculously like a giant baby and not looking at what God had blessed me with as progress) that I was stuck at the same number and was putting it off.  I have since figured out what was holding me up (Note: eating a bag of steamed edimame for dinner, no matter how much you love them and try and convince yourself that since they are a vegetable they surely have to be good for you, only does one thing.  Make you retain water) changed it and immediately saw results.  So, since I've started working out and making a conscious effort to watch what I eat (end of December) I've lost 11 lbs!  And I'm T-H-R-I-L-L-E-D.  Now, so the Mister won't get mad at me for not giving myself credit, in total I've lost 41 lbs.  But, not that I'm discounting it, 30 lbs of it fell off by two weeks after I got home from the hospital so the amount that I've lost since starting my workout/eat well plan is 11.  I'm going to take random pictures here and there just to "show" my progress.  And to give myself excuses to take pictures of my little man with his mommy.  So here's one I took today ...

{C wasn't ready for the picture.  He was watching the birdies out the window.  In all fairness, I didn't count to three.}

My face is STARTING to look like me again!  And for the record, I think all the weight I'm losing, little sweet C is gaining.  LOOK at those chubby cheeks!  I could just squeeze 'em all day long!

Sidenote:  (Eyemuffs all you (one) men that read) I'm avoiding the scale for a few days.  You know that thing that happens each month when you don't decide to make adorable little babies?  Well it hurts like the dickens when it's been on "vacation" for almost a year.  Ow-ch.

Oh and apparently Blizzard Watch 2011:  Part II is on for Texas starting tonight so it's possible we may be stuck in the house another day or two.  No big deal.  Did you see the little guy I get to snuggle with up there?

Snow Day(s)

Well, I'm sure most of you've heard, since the Superbowl was here n' all, that Dallas has been having some ca-razy weather lately.  We Texans don't understand how to handle "winter weather conditions" so what do we all do?  Lock ourselves in our houses and don't come out until it's all safely melted.  Of course, being a stay at home mom that was just another Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday for me!  Plus, I'm really good at this whole "locked in the house" thing.  Five weeks of bedrest will do that for ya.  Anyways ...

We decided we should document little C's first snow with a few pictures.  We bundled our little buddy up and headed outside to take some pictures in the snow!  Please excuse my eyes, apparently they retract into my head without eye makeup.  Sunglasses would've been a good idea ...

 

We got so excited that we wore ourselves out.  So the rest of the day involved a lot of the following ...

I hope everyone stayed warm over the weekend!



3 Months!

Happy 3 months to the cutest. snow bunny. eva.

We love you SO much sweet C!



Guest Post: Team Us!

I am happy to post this guest post for my friend, Lindsay Todd.  If you want to see proof that Lindsay and I know each other (yes, we're REAL LIFE friends, not just blogger friends, not that y'all aren't real friends ... you know what I mean) read here.  Without further adieu ...

happy friday dear friends of life in the fulmer lane!

allow myself to introduce myself... um, ourselves. we are team us: geoff - the baby daddy, lindsay - wifey, mommy-extraordinaire, and harper - the cutest baby ever (i am not biased. i promise.) oh, and hurley the boxer puppy.

this is a special day and i had hoped that my first guest post for the AHmazing life in the fulmer lane would not be so much of a plug!

but here it is, and we are thuper duper excited about it (did you see that? i used baby talk spelled out just like the hostess always does!).
the following was written by the baby daddy, my boo (who, like most normal people, likes to use caps. i, on the other hand, am firmly against the usage of capitalization.):

BABY DADDY in the house with a guest post...WOOT, WOOT!

We need your help to make it known how special she is.....

Thoughtless Thursday: Sneeced In.

O.M.G.  Now I know I was on bedrest for 5 weeks, but I swear this 2 days of being confined to the house is about to do. me. in.  Seriously, Texas doesn't do sneece (snow/sleet/ice) very well.  There is a reason we endure 110 degree temps for months at a time.  So we don't have to deal with below zero windchills in the winter.  Geeeeez it's cold.  So, what better time for ...



Today I'm going to post something that I'm looking into ordering soon.  I love love LOVE these Life Planners by Erin Condren.  First of all, let's talk about the cuteness of covers she offers.  These are a few of my favorites ...

Obviously personalized with your own family name.  She can even add a picture of your kids/family on the front!  SO CUTE, right?  Second, LOOK at how much organization is contained inside!  Check out this little video that Erin does to explain how to use the Life Planner ...

I'm going to order mine soon!  Now granted, the last 3 days on my calendar would read "Marooned In House" but I feel like once it gets warmer and I start getting C out of the house more, it will help this momma keep my head on straight!

Now it's YOUR turn!  Grab my button, post whatever random thing you'd like and come back here and link up!  I can't wait to see what you post!!!

 

Cabin Fever

This is what you do when you can't leave the house for two days in a row ...

Excuse my mommy voice.  I can't turn it off when talking to this little guy.



Baby Love, My Baby Love.

It's snowing/sleeting in Dallas.  Therefore EVERYONE stays home and those that don't proceed to drive/act like idiots.  SO, what am I doing at home with my little munchkin'?  Taking pictures of course!


The Mister didn't have to go to work today, so C and I are enjoying having daddy home with us.  I hope everyone is staying safe, cozy and warm!
