Long time no blog

so, it's been 3 months since I have posted anything. I know I know. I'm busy though. It's hard keeping up with everything else, but I'm going to do better. I got Will off to bed, so I have a little time. In less than a week he's going to be 11 months old. I can't believe it. It makes me kind of sad. I guess it's time to have another one!! Ha ha. I think that time will come in May to June. You have to time these things just right when you're a teacher and off for the summer! So, I have like 2 months to enjoy some alcohol and try to loose a little more weight. I joined weight watchers online in October and I have lost 32 pounds! My goal is to get as skinny and healthy as I can before I get pregnant again. Maybe this time I won't have to go on bed rest. Although, you can have blood pressure issues anytime. I weigh 21 pounds less than when I went in for my first doctors appointment when I was pregnant. I do have to say though that it was the day after we had gone to the fair, so it was a little innacurate!! Gotta go pump now. Yes, I am still doing that. I've cut it down to twice a day, although my boobs do not appreciate it at all. Going from 6:30 in the morning until 8:00 at night makes for very full, uncomfortable boobies. They sure look good though!! Ha ha. Unfortunately they will probably be gone for swimsuit season, but Scott says when we're done having kids he'll replace them for me!!

First Word

Well, yesterday Will looked at his Daddy and said "Dadadada". Not once, but several times throughout the evening. So much for momma being his first word! Oh well, I don't mind, he's still a Momma's boy! He can almost crawl. I'm hoping he is doing it by Christmas morning. He's getting to be such a big boy. His 2 teeth are starting to show in his pictures, and he has so much blond hair. This morning when I got him up he had a huge cowl lick in the front, so he got his hair gelled for the first time to go to school. He looked way cute. He's doing really well on his eating too. We just need to get him started sleeping through the night again. But luckily, there is only 1 more day of school left for the first semester. It's gone by mostly fast, but there have been some times like last week that were really slow. I'm excited that the year will already be halfway over, but it makes me kind of sad because Will is growing up so fast!! My photography business is doing pretty well too. I'm just pretty busy lately. I love this time of year!

Well, we are home sick today. Monday night Will was being really fussy, but I thought it had to do with his teeth. Then, when I gave him his bath I noticed that he had a rash all over, then a fever. So, Mommy stayed home with him yesterday and took him to the doctor. Turns out he has an ear infection, maybe in both ears, but he couldn't see the other one very well. And, some kind of virus that has given him the rash. But luckily, he doesn't have the flu. I started feeling sick yesterday morning too. Luckily today my temperature is gone, but I have a killer headache. This being gone 2 days in a row has used up a lot of my sick days, but I'm glad to be at home with my bubby. It spoils me to what it would be like to be a stay at home Mommy. Stay at home Mommy plus pumping is hard work. 29 weeks and counting. Go me. I've been taking lots of pictures lately. I'm having a mini-session on Saturday. I still have some spots left, so I'm hoping they fill up. I keep praying for God to bring me business!! Will's bottom 2 teeth are really poking up now. They're so cute. I can't believe how fast he's growing up. He's almost 7 months old. We're having to work on the eating food again thing. It seems like he has been getting gagged lately and throwing everything up. So, in order to keep the food down him we've been putting his food and his cereal in a bottle with his milk. Vicious cycle. He threw up bananas this morning. On the other hand, I have really enjoyed making hi baby food. Well, he's starting to fuss and I'm done pumping!

2 Teeth!!

So, now that Will is 6 months old he decided he wanted to be a big boy. His first tooth came through on Halloween, and his second tooth came through yesterday. He has also started getting on his elbows and knees and rocking back and forth trying to crawl. He needs to stop growing so fast!!! The other day when I came home Scott had him in his jumper. The dogs were running around because they were excited I was home, and Will was going crazy! He was squealing and laughing and jumping around like crazy. It was really cute. I can't believe how nice the weather has been lately either. I decided yesterday that I was going to take my little kids outside with a clip board and we were going to draw the fall trees. It's too pretty to not take advantage of. This week has gone by incredibly fast. I can't believe Thanksgiving is almost here. Although, as I was taking down some of my Halloween decorations I decided that I think I should just go ahead and decorate for Christmas. By the time I have the time to get it all up it will be time to decorate for Christmas anyways. Plus, it will make it last longer. If KBEZ can already have their Christmas music on the radio, I can put my decorations up!!

6 Months Old!!!

Can you believe it? My baby is 6 months old today. The past 6 months have flown by. He's doing so much now. Luckily he's sleeping through the night again. He goes to bed around 8:00-8:30 and has been sleeping until about 6:45 when I wake him up. Yeah!!! I think he's cutting a tooth too. Thank goodness for baby orajel! I also can't believe how fast October went by. I'm taking a personal day tomorrow to get things made for my Halloween party. I'm also taking some pictures then too. I have 4 photo shoots in a week. 3 are paying ones. Pretty cool. Except, it makes for one busy Bethy. I have something every day until next Saturday. But, if I don't get my clients going now there's no hope for me. At least my flash class will only be 2 more times. I love this picture. It's such a sweet picture of my boys! Believe it or not, he was just about to throw a fit, and I got the shot right before! I love taking pictures of my little man!!

I'm sitting here at parent teacher conferences trying to pass the time. Will is keeping me company. 1 more hour to go. For some reason Facebook isn't blocked today, so it's keeping me company too. We take Will for his 6 month doctor visit tomorrow. He's going to be 6 months old next Tuesday. that's half a year. I can't believe it. He's such a big boy now. He's started sleeping through the night again thank goodness. Last night he started actually opening his mouth when we feed him instead of us trying to shove it in! I made him baby food last night. I bought the Beaba Babycook and I really like it so far. I made him applesauce and carrots. I feel like such a homemaker! I need to take Will's 6 month pictures soon. I think they will be Halloween themed. I need to take pictures for a lot of people actually! IT's just hard trying to find the time to fit it in during the week and when Scott works every other weekend it's hard. But, I need to start making it a priority so I can only be taking pictures soon. I'm excited for my Halloween party coming up soon. I'm starting to feel like my usual crazy holiday self again. It was gone for a while, but now it's back!

Happy 5 Months Baby Will!

My little bubba is 5 months old today. I can't believe how fast the months have gone by. He's such a blessing to have in my life!
