Blake's five month update!

At five months:

1. He is almost always giggling and talking.
2. He loves playing in his jumperoo.
3. He now wears 3-6 months, and some 6 months.
4. He can almost sit up on his own.
5. I swear I've heard him say 'mama' a few times.
6. He still sleeps in bed with me, and I don't mind one bit!
7. He wakes up about once a night still.
8. He is now interested in his feet.
9. He still drinks 7 oz and LOVES green beans and sweet carrots!
10. He is a thumb sucker.

Well I ended up going to the emergency room the other night when I wasn't feeling good. It got to the point where I could barely move, and I felt like I was gonna pass out. I had a u.t.i., a bacterial infection (a.k.a. acute diarrhea), and I was dehydrated. They hooked me up to an i.v. with fluids, which hurt so bad I cried. I've never cried duing an i.v. I think they didn't know what they were doing to be honest. Or maybe I was just really weak and couldn't handle it. Either way, I now have a big ass bruise on my forearm. They took my blood and I guess something came back low, so I had to go back in the morning and get more blood drawn. I think I'm officially scared of needles now.

I came home on Monday, but I secretly wanna go back to my mom's. Rob's been doing over time, which helps us a lot, but that leaves me here alone more. I've been feeling lazy since I got back and haven't been cleaning as much. Everything is picked up, but I'm super slow about it. Especially the dishes. And we have a dishwasher....

I had a talk with my friend Tara about how I felt. She started texting me saying she feels like a shitty friend to me cause we haven't hung out and she keeps pushing herself away from me cause she felt like she couldn't relate to having a baby and she thought that annoyed me. I knew it had to do something with the fact that I had a baby now. This is it though, if things go back to the way they were one more time I'm done. She came over Friday and I trimmed her hair and bangs. Then this morning we went to walmart. I guess we'll see how long it lasts.

Sunday morning

I woke up around 1:30AM not feeling good at all. I felt nauseous, and my stomach was hurting. I went back to sleep and woke up around 5AM because of Blake and took some ibuprofen. Thankfully he went back to sleep and when we woke up around 8AM I was feeling a little better but my stomach still hurts. I just hope it's not the flu!

Rob is coming to get us tomorrow morning after he gets off of work. He was going to get us Saturday morning, but after just getting off from working 12 hours, he was to tired. I'm excited to go home though. I'm glad I ended up loving living there. I used to be so depressed over the thought of it!

I really think my zoloft is helping more since I stopped taking birth control. I feel more outgoing, and happy. Plus me and Rob don't fight near as much as we did!

His grandparents sold their house to a doctor and they are living in the fruit bowl while they build a smaller house. I wish we had that kinda money! They own a daycare, storage place, and something else but I forgot.

I dyed my hair black and I LOVE it! It looks so much healthier, and fuller. I just hope it doesn't fade too fast.

Halloween

I've been blogging for at least a year now, because I remember blogging about halloween last year :) This year instead of being pregnant, I got to take my son trick or treating for his FIRST halloween!

I took him up to a few houses and he started to get so heavy, and grumpy, so I put him in his stroller and bundled him up. He ended up sleeping the whole time! We did get a good amount of candy though.

We ended up having family come over. My mom and aunt finally made up and even my sister went. Her and my aunt haven't gotten along in a long time.

I got to see my baby cousin KayLynn, and I can't believe how much smaller she is than Blake. She's almost six months and she weights ten pounds. 

Isn't she a doll though? I feel so sorry for her. I wanna keep her!!

I'll end this post with more pictures from last night.

 I hate the way I look in this picture, but I think it's a good picture over all if that makes sense.

Breath of fresh air

When I went to my mom's I didn't think I'd be staying as long as I did, and I forgot my refill pack of birth control. I figured I'd just start the new pack whenever I got home. Well, I changed my mind. Birth control messed with my hormones WAY too much! I am so much happier, and I feel like I've fallen in love with Rob all over again. Whenever I was on birth control, we'd constantly argue. I just didn't feel happy with him at all. Also, (sorry for t.m.i.) but I now feel like I want sex all. of. the. time. I feel like the guy in the relationship....

I took Blake's swing to my mom's because he never used it. Of course, once I get it there he falls in love with it. We brought it back and got some batteries for it. Now I can just put him in that in front of the tv whenever I want to clean, cook, shower, ect. Except right now when I'm trying to blog he wants to be held.

I'm about to make honey sauced chicken in the crockpot that I learned off of pinterest. I made it a couple of nights ago and it was so good! I'm craving it so bad so I guess I better end this and get started on it :)

Blake's Four Month Update (Re-Do)

I'm re-doing Blake's four month update because I finally have a picture of him in the bathtub. I want to do that for each month. I was at my mom's when he was officially four months and didn't have his bathtub there.

 

Blake at four months:

1. He loves his bouncy! Even though we still have to get batteries for it.
2. He likes to suck on anything he can get ahold of! (I think he's teething.)
3. He likes to stand up. (Whenever I'm holding him, of course.)
4. He's ticklish!
5. He still likes to be sung to :)
6. He is so into the tv!
7. He likes to kick and hit things.

I decided to stay at my mom's for another week because I want Blake to be close to his doctor in case he needs to go back. Plus Rob still needs to clean the apartment. He came here Monday and stayed the night. Monday night Blake starting screaming and crying like he was in pain so we took him to the emergency room. Of course once we get there, he acts perfectly fine. The er doctor checked him out and said he looks really healthy, and he's strong (multiple doctors have mentioned him being a strong baby). He said he might be colic, but for some reason I don't think he is.

Today was his four month check up and the doctor there said there's a tummy virus going around, so he may of caught it. He used the bathroom five times yesterday, and today he hasn't screamed once. I pray that he's back to his normal self! No one likes seeing their baby hurting.

He is now 14 lb 6 oz and 25.25 in long! He cried after getting his shots, but stopped the moment I held him. I also fed him some rice cereal, and he didn't like it. He spit out and wanted a bottle! I need to get different nipples so I can start putting baby cereal in it.
