So let me start out by saying I am exhausted! Damon is 14 months old and has yet to sleep through the night. Today we decided to try crying it out. 40 minutes into it Shaun and I both caved, so weak I know, and Shaun laid with him for maybe 10 seconds and Damon fell asleep. It was a mess. Damon was crying, I was crying and Shaun felt horrible.

Yesterday Taveon lost his very first tooth. That caused lots of excitement around here. I asked him what he thought the tooth fairy would bring and he said 500 pennies! Then I asked him if he wanted HIS tooth fairy to be like the one in the new Dwayne Johnson movie and he said "Mom that is FICTION". He cracks me up. The tooth fairy brought him $6 since he is 6 and a certificate for losing his tooth.

This morning I got to hold a 1 day old baby girl and she is just precious! I forgot how tiny they are! Damon seems like such a giant after holding her. Made me a bit more excited about our new baby on the way.

Pregnancy wise everything is calm. No sickness yet except one day last week. I do tend to lack an appetite but I am sure I will make up for it later! My first appt. is set for the first week of february and it seems so far away! I will be 10 weeks then. I have already been thinking about baby names and we have a girl name picked, haven't decided if we will keep it a secret or not and am still working on a baby boy name.

Yay I am proud of myself for making another entry :)
I am off to bed because I am TIRED and Damon is asleep.

My first post and our Christmas SURPRISE


I have decided to finally start on my blog! Yay me, let's hope I keep up with this now.
I will give some background here since this is my first post.
Shaun and I have been married 10 years and have 2 boys together. Taveon is 6 and in kindergarten. Damon is 14 months and I stay home with him. Shaun works as a car salesman (really he isn't that bad, I promise), attends college full time and is a member of the alaska army national guard. Busy busy man.
Taveon is our laid back, sweet child. He has always been a pretty easy child. He just started hockey this year after being in love with hockey since the age of 2! He also started kindergarten this fall and so far so good!

Damon is 14 months old and a bit of a high energy little guy! He is learning to walk and loves giving kisses. He also loves climbing, jumping and getting into anything and everything! So, he keeps us pretty busy.

Shaun and I had planned on having one more baby and were thinking to wait until Damon was around 2.5 or 3 years old. Those plans were reconfigured when on Christmas eve I got a positive pregnancy tes... ok well 4 lol We are very excited but a bit nervous to have them so close since Damon is a bit high maintenance! I do know that the good Lord will only give us what we can handle though and I will have to trust in that.

I, am of course, hoping for a little princess. Guess we will find out in about 4 months! That seems so long but I am sure it will be here before we know it.

Have to go for now but I will do my best to update this blog often!
