another day another giveaway...

Ironbiclly this time it is not a baby iteam...Its something pretty for mom!
now I am sure my readers (you know...all 2 of them) are going...CC..another giveaway?really? But to be fair lets look at the facts...I dont participate in them all the time. I do read the blog before participating to make sure it would be of interest to me and my readers (both of them.

I admite...I like mommy blogs and cooking blogs the best. im a new mom..and I like to cook. NNow if i ran across a blog that say was giving away a free cruise...and it was about nucelar science or molecular biology....probably wouldn't participate. lol

but back to the giveaway
mozey on over and cheack out this blog.,..it belongs to one of my bumpettes.

the bracelet is lovely and would look great with this new pair of shoes i own!

The hardest part

she is three months old now. I can't belive it has only been three months.

Yesterday someone asked me what is the hardest part. I had to think.

The hardest part for me was the first two weeks. The worry was intense...is she breathing?why isn't she making any noise? What is that noise she is making????

I struggled harder than anyone can possiblly have known. Staying up till 7 in the morning because she wouldn't go to sleep. and then waking up at 9 for a feeding. I was exsausted emotional and on edge.

But it got better.

I was lucky enough to get the help I needed and I had D who was the most supportive amazing partner.

So the hardest part of mommyhood..for me...was admiting that i needed help. That i couldn't do it alone. and that the mommy instinct...didn't kick in immedietly

So Im thinking of a change

Nothing major just condencing the two blogs into one. I originally started this blog just to have an outlet. I don't expect people to come over here in droves and I don't feel that because i blog I should make money...Im not that good of a writer and my life isn't that interesting! lol

But two blogs to try and keep up with is two too many (i also write on facebook and myspace)

So I will write my mommy adventures here as well.

Now on to other things.

Im a WINNER! Thats right...3 times baby...3 giveaways!

1st giveaway (adventures of baby kaitlyn blog) ...baby legs. Can i tell you just how much I love these! P's legs stay warm and diaper changes are much easier (my child does not like pants...at all.

2nd giveaway-(johnson family blog) tommee tippee bottle
I..like this bottle. Maybe it's because she is so used to her other bottles...maybe it's because it has the slow flow nipple...but for whatever reason she was less than enthusiastic about this bottle. I do like the shape (so much easier to hold!) and the shape of the nipple is nice. We will see. I will say this though. She is napping and just ate...if she doesn't spit up after her nap (aqs she normally does) I may change my mind and buy a whole set! lol

my next win was from the mommysavesmoney blog. I won her a pair of the cutest mary jane shoes from etsy. I haven't recived them yet but am totally excited to see her in them!

Well folks thats all for now!

controversial? probably

I was on medicaid while pregnant. my daughter is still on medicaid. We have never recived her card and have to print one out every month from the computer. She is getting her shots on friday so I today went to print out her card fro the month of april.

Imagine my surprise when I see it says she is not coverd because she has coverage already under a smilar programe...uhhhh how bout no medicaid.

I was on the phone for about 2 hours clearing it up.

*sigh*

And the new govermnet health care programe is supposed to be any better? seriously?

How bout this...how bout we fix the programs we already have to help people before we try to start anymore...sounds good?

Things i miss

4 years ago i was single. I love my life now. wife, mommy, teacher, and cook but there are things I miss.

I miss meeting new people all the time. Don't get me wrong I don't want to go out and meet a new guy but i miss going out with a group of friends and meeting people at the club or bar or comedy house that I was unlikely to ever see again but still bonded with over music and laughter.

I miss the freedom of getting up on my day off and just going to the beach. No planning a week in advance or taking an hour to get out the door and no lugging around 20 extra pounds of stuff.

But that is all I miss.

I don't miss the loneliness. The looks from people as i would sit alone in a cafe reading that said 'the poor girl is all alone".

I don't miss the guys who thought of me as desperate and easy because i was not dancing with one guy in particular.

i guess just looking at my life over the last 4 years and the changes that have happened it seems like that single girl was just so lost...but having fun trying to find her way!
