So I have been putting off writing a blog, just because I have posted more than usual lately. I don't want to go blog crazy or anything. So here is everything I wanted to post about..in one blog.
Mackenzie gave us quite a scare the other night. As you may of read in my bulletin, she got out of her bed and was sleeping under it. Tim and I couldn't find her until I saw her two toes sticking out, so we were pretty scared for a bit. Well last night she did it again, but this time I knew where to check first. I don't quite know how she gets there...she is a VERY light sleeper and I just can't imagine her getting out of her bed and crawling under there, or sleep walking. To get under her bed she would have to belly crawl, cause of how low it is. It's odd. Recently she has been coming into our room around 1-2am and climbing in bed with Tim. She likes to sleep with her daddy and of course he loves it too. I have re-assembled the pack n play and it's in our room. I don't like her sleeping in the bed with us, but if she wants to be in our room she has to sleep in it. So this past week she has come in 2-3 times.
She is officially in a big girl seat, like booster car seat. I know of a few people with kids around Mackenzie's age that already use them. This made me nervous with Mackenzie just because on some of the boxes they say "Do Not Use Under Age 3". So being the researcher I am, I decided to try and find the Texas car seat booster law. Damn them to hell, the only thing that they have are weight/height limits. That's stupid. You can have a freakishly tall 14 month old who can qualify, or like us, you can have a really small 3 year old. Well she isn't 3 yet but you get my point. Anyway, Mackenzie couldn't keep doing the front facing car seats, she would get out. She is on this kick lately "Well big girls do this....Big girls don't do this .." and it is working great. So since being in her "big girl car seat" she hasn't been escaping. I also have a new favorite thing that Mackenzie says...bubble bath. Except in Mackenzie lingo it comes out.."bubble baf" too cute.
Madison is 11 months today. Oh my gosh...1 month til she is a year. (I'm a genius I know..I can do math) It has flown by, my baby girl is a toddler. She is such a hoot, and a big Momma's girl.
She is content sitting in my lap all day and especially if we go to a friends house. She is the quiet one of the family, but we expected that. When I was pregnant with her, she barely moved..was real calm. Mackenzie on the other hand was real active and well....she still is. Madison is content sitting in my lap and just observing the world. She barely makes a noise, unless something is wrong. She doesn't really talk much for her age, she mainly grunts. No words, just ma,da,ba. that's it. We're not concerned...she'll talk later.
This past week she has been sleeping pretty good. I think the girls finally have a schedule together, my goodness it only took a year. They go to bed between 8:30 and 9:30..and sleep til 7 am. Of course if you know my girls this doesn't mean it's straight through..they wake up a couple times a night.
We don't have anything planned for her birthday, money is a bit tight right now..and we really don't feel like throwing a party anyway. We will probably do a little family bbq and just have fun with our family.
Tim is still with Victory and is 100 hours away from his 4,000 hours. This means he will be able to get his test date for his license by December 1st. He is VERY excited, but also very nervous. The test he has to take is insanely hard and very complex. The book that he has to remember for this test is around....600 pages. It's not only residential plumbing but commercial as well. So some of the stuff he hasn't even encountered yet. His boss told him that since the economy is so bad, that Tim will get a test date immediately after he turns in his paperwork..normally they would wait a couple months. So he isn't quite ready to turn in his paperwork, we will probably wait until January just so he has more time to study.
He had been doing tubs with Santos, but since his company has been letting people go, they moved Santos off of tubs and onto Punch and put Tim on set-outs with Fred. Tim gets along well with Fred so this is good, plus Tim is doing more than just installing tubs, now he is installing sinks, water heaters, toilets and tubs in finished homes, custom homes. In fact today he is doing a house that has eight...EIGHT bathrooms. Ladies could you imagine cleaning 8 bathrooms?! His days are longer now..they work til about 6-7.
So as you read in the blog I posted a few days ago, I'm trying to become an egg donor. Well yesterday they called me and I have my consultation date set up for November 18th at 2:00pm. I am to bring in photos of me between the ages of birth to age 15. So I am trying to find lots of cute ones. I am so stinking excited about this whole thing. I did receive one hate message about this though. I was asked "How can you just give your egg to some random person you don't even know, that's like abandoning your kid". This certain person pissed off my husband very much. As Tim said "it's not ABANDONING her child, it's giving someone else a very important thing, a very special thing that they couldn't have else wise. It's giving them a child you dumbass." Sometimes I love him, haha.
Speaking of babies...Ashley is having a boy. Tim and I are THRILLED and can't wait for this little guy to make his appearance. YAY GO
BLUE!!
Charlie boy is in surgery today. Tim and I dropped him off at 7:30 this morning in Austin. He is to be picked up this afternoon between 3-6pm. He also has to do the same thing tomorrow also. I hope everything goes okay, we're really nervous.
