The blessing is scheduled!

Baby Joey, Pictures
And we took the little man to church for the first time today. Michael asked yesterday if it was "church day," we said no but tomorrow is. He replied, "Can we go?" I said, "It looks like everyone's healthy! Yeah, we'll go." You'd have thought we'd have told him we were going to Disneyland! LOL! Both boys got new teachers again, they'd shuffled after the new year to even things out a bit, so we're all just trying to get settled again. Tentatively we've scheduled the blessing for Sunday the 30th of March. Hopefully all of the grandparents will get off work and other things get scheduled so that they can come down. We're looking forwards to that. Sweet Kevin got stuck with both big boys for the whole sacrament.…

How many diapers per diaper change???

Baby Joey
You'd think one... But I think we average about 1.75. Let me preface this by saying that Kevin changed him less than an hour ago, within 5 minutes of me noticing him filling his diaper as I handed him over and headed for the kitchen to get my dinner... I just sat on my bed rushing to get another fresh application of diaper cream and a diaper on him, as Joey passed gas contemplating dirtying the third diaper since I lay him down to clean him up. This kid is FAST! He's become the expert at when Mommy is between diapers and picks his moments as if he knows precisely the instant in which to make a move. Good thing I'm getting faster too. Right now in an average day…

4 is a good number.

Baby Joey
I noticed something cool today. Kevin went to his hobby class, for those models he's painting, and there's a game that you play with them. It's all a bit above my head, but that's OK, I'm not really into that kind of thing. But, I realized that we have 4 guys in our family. We may have an odd number of kids, however chances are if the younger ones are like the older ones, and that's the trend so far, they'll have a GREAT time playing games built for even numbers. A lot of board games are built for even numbers, and a lot of computer or console games are built for even numbers, this is PERFECT for us. I can watch (something I enjoy, what's better than watching your…

Oh, What a Day! Not a happy, happy day…

Baby Joey
Ugh.  Michael.  My sweet little helper.  He dumped a carton of milk on a girls head in school.  To make the situation worse, his teacher, his awesome, kind, understanding, patient teacher, was out today.  So the whole class was tormenting a substitute, and my son decided to up the ante...  So he's suspended for the rest of the day, and all of the fun I was hoping for to make a more relaxing weekend is now out. :( And Joey's upset.  Hopefully I'll have better news later today.

Memory Lane…

Baby Joey, Pictures
OK, I had to go back and find some pics of the older boys to compare "haircuts," WOW! Michael at 2 weeks. Michael at 2 months. Aiden at 1 month. This is going SO FAST! I'm sure it'll just get faster too... There'll be more to come cause lastnight Kevin was going through a lot of old pics and we found some that we'd love to share again... So keep watching, and go ahead and remind me if I seem to forget, LOL!

Pictures from Tonight

Baby Joey, Pictures
He's really growing. He must be over ten pounds by now, and he's just filling out so fast. He wasn't so thrilled about this photo shoot, so hopefully I'll get another chance at one with better natural lighting as well as a better mood in the near future.

Guess what time I went to bed lastnight?

Baby Joey
7:30!?!?! PM that is! I went to bed before the big boys... I lay down with Joey to nurse him as Kevin got the boys routines going for bed and next thing I knew it was 9 and he was checking in on me to make sure I was OK. I rolled over to get up, and Joey was hungry again, so I switched places with him in bed and nursed on the other side. Again, Kevin came in to check on me at 10, and I intended to get up, but after changing Joey, I crashed again! Then Kevin came to bed at 11:30, I nursed Joey and didn't see a point in getting up again. I almost got up at 5:30, but again managed to fall asleep again.…

On with another week

Baby Joey
Kevin was supposed to have today and tomorrow off to help me adjust cause I was feeling like I needed a little more help here in the beginning with Joey and re-adjusting. Welllll...  One of the servers crashed this weekend and he's the only one who knows what to do with it.  So lastnight he went in to see if he could get it shaped up so that he could still stay home today.  Long story short, it's stubborn, and he needed to go in today to be there when the company that they bought the server and service from, sends out a specialist to try and fix it.  It's a good thing he's in today too cause there have been several other "the world is going to fall apart"…
