No up-date on my weight gain yet...that will be next Wednesday BUT I know he has grown since my poor "little" belly button is trying to pop out!!! I keep trying to push it in but NO LUCK!!! Sharla, my teammate, told me yesterday we will just have to DECORATE it then! LOL!!! Jaxton has been moving around ALOT more these days throughout the day....BUT I have figured out a trick to get him to sleep through the night ( Ha ) ....since last week I was up several mornings in a row at 4 and 5 am.....LOTS and LOTS of walking during the day and nighttime exercise....puts him right to sleep!!! BUT I still have not figured out what to do with all the HORMONES again that have really shown up on my face this past week...could be all the 98 DEGREE days too taking a toll!! Other than that things are going great....still no CONSTIPATION...YET!!! HA!!
A couple weekends ago I had my Mom's BEST ( and I mean BEST ) FRIEND and her family ( who I grew up with ) come over for some dinner and catch up...and what a night that turned out to be!! First of all, the kids ( Clayton and Savannah ) wanted to go fishing outside so Ross set them up with Rods and Bait and then headed to the porch...he wanted NOTHING to do with baiting the hook or removing the fish from the hook....I NEVER KNEW HE HATED THAT!! I guess we will have to get him some "baiting lessons"...so Laura can you do that for a Christmas present???? Well the kids ended up catching fish after fish and Savannah even KISSED the fish...what a Brave little girl ( maybe she can help Ross!!!)
But Ross is a great Boat Captain!! He took the kids for a boat ride around the canals but before take off.....Ross had to have his beer in his coozie and Savannah wanted to have her apple juice to sip during the cruise...how sweet!!!
We ate dinner and then it was time for KARAOKE!!!!! We have a Karaoke machine that is hooked up through our surround system BUT Ross found out that on Comcast their is FREE Karaoke with ALL kinds of music.....you must look into this if you have Comcast!!!! I thought this would be fun for the kids BUT it turned out that MY MOM, BETTY and ROSS were fighting over which songs to Karaoke too.....HELP!!! They even provided us with their best DANCING moves....HELP!!!! The kids had a ball and Ross showed them how to play guitar and he even sang a few oldies for us....I can just picture our family doing this with Jaxton....CAN'T WAIT!!!!
Last week we FINALLY got one piece of baby furniture in....the RECLINER!!!! It is totally amazing and I HIGHLY recommend anyone wanting one to get this one...there is a picture above AND this chair obviously will fit into our home decor just fine after we use it for Jaxton. This is one of the only recliners we found that will glide while in a reclined position!! The comfort level is a TEN too!!!!
We finally put the bassinet together too!! This is called a Co-Sleeper because it can attach to your bed so don't even have to get out of bed to do those DREADED nighttime feedings!! I was very impressed by the product but will let you know just how good it is when we put it to use!!
Ross and I finished our ChildBirthing Classes last week....don't know if we passed yet...have to wait until after the delivery to tell you that!! Ross did get caught not listening AGAIN!! As the women were practicing a SHALLOW breathing technique the men were supposed to be counting for us and knowing where we were in the process BUT then she asked the men to try what we were doing and Ross came out with this (He,He,He,He,He,He ) FAST HEAVY breathing maneuver.....he was in total LaLa Land!!! "That's it!!" I told him....I'm getting MY MOMMY to help me!!!! Needless to say....we should be just fine...maybe he will end up making me laugh so much I won't even feel the contractions....well maybe just a few!!!
I took my first Breastfeeding class last night so I could prepare for the BEST LATCH-ON technique there is for ULTIMATE SUCCESS!!! Well we will just have to see how that goes.....LOTS of little rules and LOTs of things to buy to go along with this breastfeeding thing!! But it was so funny because at the end of the class when she asked for any questions the only one was " How much alcohol can we drink while breastfeeding?" And NO...I did NOT ask the question ( but couldn't wait to hear the answer)!!! She said one glass of wine should be just fine. ( But I was thinking to myself...."What about 2????" ) Then someone asked the question!!!! She said as long as it is in the blood its in your milk. So if you are feeling the effects don't nurse!!! You must PUMP and DUMP!!! If you drink a little and are feeling fine you can nurse! Well at least I can have ONE WHOLE glass of wine!!!! So therefore I have registered at Spec's too.....Just Kidding!!!
Well next week I am sure our house will start to look really different....we are having our 1st Baby Shower at my sister's this weekend!! Thank Goodness Hurricane Dolly veered off to the west or we might of had to have a Hurricane Party!!! For those of you who are making it this weekend we will see you then!!! For those of you who could not I will catch you up with pictures next week!!!
