OK I admit I have been an awful blogger since I started, but have vowed to turn over a new link. My 1st one will be kind of short until I can find a happy medium between a 28 page post(for those that know me you know I am not far off the mark on this one), and a 2 paragraph one.
Heres whats been going on in a nutshell. G turned 1 on June 4th. I had a baseball theme party with a cotton candy vendor, Hawaiian shaved ice, a face painter, a clown that had a baby bunny to show the kids, and a balloon artist. It was a lso a monkey theme, we call G "Monkey" so had to throw that in there. Invitations were from www.invitationmonkey.com and she does such a fabulous job. The cake was so cute, from Swet Couture Bakery and delicious to boot. He had a blast and got way too many presents. Our friends/family are so generous and we love you all.
So he's 15 months, walking, talking, off the bottle, and starting to learn sentences and songs. We go to My Gym once a week(like those Gymboree classes) and he LOVES THEM, loves singing "itsy bitsy spider", "old macdonald"(especially the e-i-e-i-o or the "quack quack here and a quack quack there". He is still the best sleeper, Our typical schedule is as follows:
G up at 9:00 a.m.(yep I said 9)nap at 11 to 11:30(somewhere in there) until 1 to 1:30. then lunch.
3 or 3:30 down for 2nd nap.
Up at 5 or 5:30 and then we go run errands, and hit the parkevery day.
Dinner somewhere during this awake period from 5-9 PM>
Bed at 9 PM(I keep him up so late so he can see his daddy).
as for me, not much going on. was in the hospital from 9/2-9/13 and again just last week from 9/27 to 10/3. Bottom line, I need a hysterectomy, only not laparoscopically, I will have a full abdominal incision, vertical from my sternum to my pubic bone, TMI and fun fun fun).
We've decided to wait until after the holidays are over and have decided ti go another round or 4 of IVF, get my eggs, eric's sperm, make our embryos then freeze them for aater date, and find a surrogate to carry it.
My goal this year is to get more adept at using our camera, computer, photo printer, all things electronic I want to learn more so I can make photo books as gofts for grandparents or friends. my next goal is to by a mac as i really hate PCs now.
I'm trying to figure out what G will be for halloween. He was going to be Elvis and I had it all set up, but big mouth eric blew the surprise because his mom LOVES Elvis and we wanted to get photocards to send for Halloween that says "Viva Las vEGAS). nOW WHAT? Any suggestions??
i keep forgetting it's october as it's still high 90's to 100 here, no color changing leaves, no apple or pumpkin picking, etc. Christmas will be here before you know it, this will e the last one we stay home for, it'll be Aruba every year after this.
My folks are here helping. I go see the gynecology oncologist this week to talk about my surgery.
Off to watch some trash TV before bed, eric and my dad are golfing tomorrow so eric volunteered to get up with G and let me sleep till 9:30. When they get back my mom and I are going for mani/pedis, can't wait.
Here i am drinking a glass of pinot grigio and I never drink so it;s working it;s magic fast!
Happy Fall and I will be in touch!
