Life as I know it.....

First and foremost I am not complaining! I would like to vent.... Life is hard right now. Steve works away in Utah drilling for 20 days straight and when he comes home it is rush and go here and there and do all these activities so we have quality time. I work full time and Isaiah goes to a fantastic sitter in my ward but of course I miss him all day long and cry every night before I go to work because its hard to leave him. So then I don't do chores when Steve is home so we can have more time together and when he goes back to work, like today. And this set he is on nights, (gotta love shift work) and we won't be going to see him because it is just too hard working around his sleeping during the day.

So this week at work I had a breakdown to my totally amazing Director of Sales Tenae, and I have a new lease on what I am going to be doing day to day. Why should I be stressed about doing everything in the 10 days that Steve is home!?!?!? So from now on, we are just going to relax and not really go anywhere. And I will be coming home on my lunch hours to do some chores and then I won't be up until the wee hours of the morning getting them done. I don't feel the need to go see all of our families in a whole Saturday trip. Not that I don't love my family and his, but Steve, Isaiah and I are our own little family now and we need to focus on us. Not that we won't go see our families, but they can come to Pocy too.

So, Steve-O, it's just us and our Little Bear when your home. But you still have to take out the garbage and cook that so yummy food that you do!

First... Taste of Cereal!

So today was Isaiah's 4 month doctor's appointment and I got the OK from Dr. Smith to give him cereal. (Sad, our doctor is moving to SLC to work Primary Children's) So this evening for dinner, he ate about 1/2 a tablespoon of oatmeal cereal mixed with formula!!!!


At first he was not sure what I was holding up to his mouth because at this point he knows what the bottle is and opens his mouth for it. And he stared at me when I put it in his mouth for a few seconds and started sucking. It took a minute but he started warming up to the idea. He started putting his finger in his mouth to try and figure out what was going on... but he liked it and opened his mouth for more. But halfway done he got tired of that because it was almost bedtime and he just wanted his bottle since he had shots today. (Yes, I cried more and longer than he did)


Overall, it was a good first experience. Now I just need to fear allergies... I almost want to sleep on the floor next to the crib just in case. I have a sleeping bad in the closet, maybe I will...
